FROM THE PRINCIPAL .....
It’s amazing how fast the end of the year is approaching with the school being a very busy place, finishing the end of this year while preparing for 2024. Please check in with school communications regularly to keep up to date with all the things happening.
New Receptions
A warm welcome to all the new children and families who have joined us for two of their three transition visits on Wednesdays. We look forward to meeting and getting to know many new families and making the transition a smooth and memorable experience.
Staffing Update 2024
We are now in a position to begin offering teachers contract positions for next year. We will have a limited number of vacancies available and will work with People and Culture to fill these as soon as possible.
Congratulations to Maria Drakos who has recently won a position for 2024 at Woodcroft College. We thank Maria for her time here at Coro and wish her the very best at Woodcroft.
Save the Date – Celebration Night – Tuesday 12 December
We are very much looking forward to our annual Celebration Night on Tuesday 12 December, when our community comes together to enjoy song and dance performances from students/staff, including end of year presentations, and farewells. Please save the date, and stay tuned for further details.
End of Year Reports
At this time of the term, teachers are writing end of year student reports. As part of the reporting process, teachers work with year level team colleagues to moderate and discuss student assessments to ensure consistency of teacher judgement when reporting A-E grades (Years 1 -6) for subject areas within the Australian Curriculum. Reports will be handed out on Wednesday 13th December.
Pathway Rejuvenation Project
We are now just one step away from completion, with the path handrails to be attached over the first couple of weeks in December. You may have noticed the builder’s ‘compound’ has been disassembled and a large part of the fencing has disappeared providing us with ‘almost’ regular access around the school. This has also meant that we have regained all the regular parking space easing congestion at the front of the school.
Over the holiday break, Keith (grounds person) will be installing a watering system ready for planting after summer in early 2024.
Wow! What a great performance and a fantastic showcase of the talent we have at the Coro. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our 2023 Dance Night Extravaganza, the students love performing to an audience of family and friends after all their hard work and preparation.
A big congratulations to all our performers and well done to all of our fantastic school staff, with special thanks to Kelly Bodger (Dance teacher), Stacey Stuttard (Choir facilitator) and Sue Matthews (Jump Rope Coordinator).
Overdue 2023 School Accounts
All unpaid school accounts for 2023 are now overdue.
This week, if you still have outstanding invoices, you will receive an account statement. The statement will be in a window-faced envelope in your child’s school bag.
If you have any concerns or need to activate a payment plan please email our Business Manager, Sue, at Sue.Matthews799@schools.sa.edu.au . Your early attention to this would be appreciated.
