Dear Families and Friends

It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of the school year.

As we experienced for the last few years, 2022 brought much uncertainty to our lives, with an unusual start to the school year and then school closures due to storms this term; however, we have been fortunate to have experienced minimal disruption to school life throughout the second half of the year. We would like to thank everyone for their ongoing support, with special thanks to the parents and friends who have supported various school activities, excursions, camps and sports programs. This level of support has allowed us to provide these valuable extra-curricular activities.

Our teaching staff have again shown a strong commitment to doing their best for the children they teach. They approach their work with positivity, enthusiasm and a focus on continuous improvement. Thank you for your dedicated, hard work again this year.

Similarly, we would like to acknowledge and thank our learning support and administration teams for their efforts and work. They have provided invaluable high-level intervention support for students and successfully managed school operations in the areas of front office, finance, technology, library and grounds.

Throughout the year, Coro students have shown positive attitudes to learning, upheld our school learner profile attributes and been involved in the broader aspects of school life, including: after-hours school / Sapsasa sports, sports days, choirs, special days, SRC, crossing and flag duties, school garden activities, buddy classes, assemblies, camps/excursions, Minecraft / art clubs, and much more. We trust they’ve had an enjoyable year, and we’re sure they’ll be looking forward to the holidays.

We would like to thank members of this year’s Governing Council for their advocacy and support of our school. Special thanks to Sam Neville (Chair), Tim Patrick, Cyndy Hosken, Chelsea Mount, Ben Sanderson, Adam Pope, Sally Woolford, Angelica Crabb, Anna Forgan, Declan Pope, Janita Bentley, Andrew Brown, Melissa McKenzie and Taylor Jones. Strong parent support contributes to our school in so many positive ways.

This has been the last week of primary school for our Year 6 students. We look forward to saying farewell at their graduation ceremony this evening. They are a terrific group of young people with bright futures ahead of them, and we wish them the very best for the next stage of their schooling.

Each year we farewell families, many of whom have been heavily involved in school life. We thank you for your support over the years and extend our best wishes for the future. Thank you for being part of the Coromandel Valley Primary School community.

Last but by no means least, thank you to Kat, Mike, Kate and Sue, who have provided excellent support and leadership across all aspects of school life.

We have very much enjoyed working with students, staff and families this year, and we wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas / New Year. We look forward to seeing you all back at school on Monday, 30th January 2023.

Kind regards

Rob Warncken

Principal
