Getting a taste for Science-Fiction
5M have been studying a sci-fi unit called ‘Pandora’. The unit is based on James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ film. The students have created their own creatures that could survive in a world like Pandora. They are now in the process of writing a narrative about meeting their own creature in the wilderness on Pandora. Here are some of their creatures.

Leadership Legends
A lucky 20 Coffs Harbour Public School students got to attend the annual GRIP Leadership conference at the Coffs Harbour Racing Club recently. An excellent day was had by all and lots of new friends were made. The involvement level of all students was great, with 4 of our students starring on the stage. They learnt what qualities a leader needs, how to encourage others to be leaders, how leadership is like a ‘strawberry’ and how we can all be leaders even if we don’t wear a badge that says so! A big thanks to Ms Leeson, Mrs Newton and Ms Wilfert.

Healthy Habits
The students in Mrs Snodgrass and Miss Bullen’s classes have had lots of fun learning about being healthy and staying healthy. They have looked at ‘safe sneezing’, ‘safe coughing’, washing our bodies and hair, cleaning our teeth, wearing the right clothes for the weather and eating healthy – not too may lollies and sweets!
To showcase what we have discovered and are practising we will be presenting at the assembly to the fantastic song – Mr Clicketty Cane!

Invitation to Robotics Workshop
3 lucky Coffs Harbour Public School students were invited to attend a recent FIRST Australia Robotics Workshop on Saturday at the Coffs Harbour C.Ex Club. Bruce, Nico and Samaneh wrote a submission on what sort of robot they wanted to build and were successful in being selected as well as other local students. By all reports, Bruce, Nico and Samaneh had a wonderful time and were excited to have the opportunity to play with some exciting technology and work as part of a team. What a fantastic experience for them. If you look closely at this NBN News report you may see some familiar faces!
