Towards the end of this term, we will be making you aware of the new vision for Coral Park, which will take us into 2018 and beyond.

I am very excited to see the smiling faces of the children as they start their educational journey with us. Each week they spend a morning here at school, learning their way around, having fun, meeting new friends and meeting the teachers. Transition plays a very important role in ensuring children have the best start possible, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed about coming to school. Our whole school transition begins soon.

On Wednesday, the Preps were very excited to go on their second excursion for the year. We all eagerly boarded the bus and travelled to Taskworks, where students had lots of fun actively participating in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths activities. The hands on activities involved students solving large puzzles, completing a maze, acting out fairytales, pulling apart robots and completing team building tasks. Everyone had a great time, learned lots and the bus was very quiet on the way home!
We have healthy snacks at OSHC
Each week at OSHC we have a variety of healthy snacks after school. This week we cooked up ‘Sushi Sandwiches.’ These healthy snacks used carrots, cucumber and cheese with wholemeal bread to create a yummy afternoon snack. Even better, the kids got to help make them themselves.
To learn more about our healthy eating and cooking programs talk to Jess in the MPC or visit www.campaustralia.com.au to enroll.
