Our teachers learning

Week 5 already! Students are very busy demonstrating their learning in their whole school assessment tasks. We are very pleased with the continuing improvements and successes of all our students and feedback will be provided through their end of year reports. A big thank you to all of our staff on their continued excellence and commitment to student learning and well-being. A special thank you to Miss M for her fabulous leadership in weekly professional learning and mentoring, assisting staff to continually improve teaching and learning practice. Students and teachers looked fabulous in their special Melbourne Cup hats today. Students will be attending the Life Education Van again this year next Tuesday. A special thank you to the soroptimist ladies who will be providing a free healthy lunch for all staff and students on the day. We wish all our farming families all the best for their harvest. Anne-Moore, Principal

STAGE ONE NEWS

We’ve been reading ‘Tears in the Jungle’. This book was written by two young boys called Daniel and William Clarke. They wrote this to help save orang-utans in Borneo from extinction.

Prime Minister John Howard pledged $500 000 to protect and save the forest. Saving the forest protects the orang-utan’s habitat. Daniel and William want other people to help them save the orang-utans.

You can watch Daniel’s story at http://www.abc.net.au/btn/story/s3456851.htm

All collected food will be donated to St Vincent de Paul in Coolamon. They will then distribute the food to our local families within our shire.

The Coolamon Library is on Facebook! News, pictures, events and opportunities are regularly uploaded – join us now!
