Australian Touch Football Team Visit

We had the pleasure of meeting the Australian Men’s Open and Over 35s Touch Football teams on Monday who are in town to compete in the FIT Touch World Cup. The teams were very gracious with their time and not only answered questions from students but also led a series of demonstrations and workshops for students to participate in. It was a real thrill for our students.

ANZAC Day

Thank you to the many students who represented our school last Saturday in the ANZAC Day march and ceremony. It was fantastic to see over 40 students and many staff marching behind the CHPS banner. Thanks to our school leaders Tara Errington and Daniel Prendergast for laying the wreath and to Franklin Samburuma for releasing one of the 10 doves to commemorate 100 years since Gallipoli.

Beach Party Disco

In term 1 all classes K-6 studied safety. As we live near the coast and spend a lot of time outside, a major focus was on sun safety! The student’s learnt how it is very important to follow the Cancer Council’s SunSmart message from Sid the Seagull of ‘Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide’.
To further support this message on Thursday the 26th March the disco committee held a spectacular ‘Beach Party’ disco. Funds were raised for Kirsty Payne to participate in the very important Melanoma March. Kirsty participated in the Sydney Melanoma March to raise awareness as she is all too aware that you can be affected by Melonama at any age. To date the wonderful cause has raised $ 432,419.40.
All of the students and staff had a fantastic night!!!

Harmony Day

Harmony Day celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. It’s a day to celebrate Australia’s diversity – a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home.
At Coffs Harbour Public School this year we were extremely honoured as two of our students shared their own personal stories with the school. They spoke about the countries they have come from and their experiences so far living in Australia.
A fantastic day was had by all celebrating the schools diversity.
