Parent Feedback
We aim to please so would love more feedback on how we can improve or what you feel we do well. We often ask for feedback via the Coral News or our website, we have even prepared online surveys to try and get responses from parents as to how we can improve.
Now, our School Councillors & Parent Volunteer Group would like to give you more opportunity. Parent members will be in the SLC Café from 2.40pm, before assembly for you to meet and chat with. There will also be feedback forms that you may complete, if you don’t wish to stop and chat, these can be placed in the red letterbox labelled Parent Feedback which is in the MPC. They can also be left in an envelope at the office. Please, come and chat or drop us a
note, we would love to hear your thoughts and help make Coral Park the best it can be.
HOUSE POINTS UPDATE
Parent Fundraising News
WOW! Thank you for your fabulous support of our Cadbury
Fundraiser. Many students have already sold their full box of
chocolates and requested a second box for selling, one parent has asked for a further 6
boxes to sell!! That’s amazing, keep up the great work.
We are also beginning a new fundraiser in classrooms collecting 5c
coins. Every classroom has a jar to collect as many 5c coins as they
can. These coins don’t count for much anymore unless in numerous
amounts. We would love children to bring in any 5c coins for their
class coin jar and help to fill them up. All monies collected will go
towards equipment to be used here at the school. Please continue to
support us and pass on all those unwanted 5c coins.
FOOTY DAY LUNCH
CHANGED TO Wednesday 31st August
On Wednesday 31st of August the canteen will be holding a Footy Day lunch. Please note this has been moved from Wednesday 17th August. If you have already placed an order, that is fine it will move to the
new day, you don’t need to re-order. If you would like your child to have a Footy Day lunch
deal please return the form with payment no later than Thursday 18th August
Help us SAY NO to violence.
Every day in every school there are incidents of unrest and students behaving
inappropriately. Generally, these are small incidents that are easily resolved. At
times, they become bigger and some students react with violence. Violence will
not be tolerated in any way, shape or form. We are a White Ribbon School,
helping to promote the importance of stopping domestic violence and violence
against women.
At Coral park, we do not condone any type of violence.
There is no space for violence in our school. Please
help us to ensure students understand this message.
Buddy Reading P6 and M18 P6 have been reading three time a week to our buddies in M18. We choose a book from our Book-box and read to a buddy. The buddy helps us to sound out words, go back and re-read and check to see if we understand, by asking us questions about the characters, setting and events.
A BIG THUMBS UP and THANK
YOU to all the parents who
completed and returned Parent
Opinion Surveys.
Thumbs up to the parents who have already
enrolled their child ready for Prep 2017.
Thumbs up to all the wonderful families who
have already sold their box of chocolates!!
Birthday
Books
Thank you to Vera, Lesley &
Rylon for donating a birthday
book to our library.
We hope you all had wonderful
birthday celebrations.
As part of the Reader’s and Writer’s workshops at Coral Park and our focus on Literacy and developing excellent readers and writers, students participate in a Big Write every even week of the term on a
Thursday. We would like parents and caregivers to join in the fun and take the time to TALK at home with your child/children about the upcoming topics that they will be writing about.
Good discussion leads to good planning and writing.
Below are the topics and text types the students will be working on. Hopefully this will assist you in initiating these very important discussions at home.
Preps: How to… (Procedural writing) You have to explain how to do something….
Think about the steps you need. The steps need to be in order.
Juniors: Let’s make … (Procedural writing) You have to explain how to make something….
Think about the steps you need. The steps need to be in order.
Middles: Don’t tell me …Show me.... (Descriptive writing)
Look at the picture prompt. Use your senses to describe what you imagine. What do you see, hear, feel, taste and smell?
Seniors: Describe a piece of art. (Descriptive writing)
Look at the picture prompt. Use your senses to describe what you imagine. What do you see, hear, feel, taste and smell?
Use adjectives, similes, metaphors to create an
image.
Do you have a child beginning school in
2017?
Enrolments are being taken now.
Coral Park Primary School conducts school
tours every Wednesday morning at 9:00am.
A tour is the best method to decide which school is right
for your child. This provides the perfect opportunity for
you and your child to see the school in operation and for
you to ask all your questions about beginning school as you
walk through.
If you haven’t chosen a school yet, please organise a tour to find the school that best suits you and your child’s
needs. To organise a tour, please contact the school on 9702 8398.

Ride2School Award for Coral Park!
In a special assembly conducted last Friday morning, Friday 22nd July, two Ride2School
representatives, Sarah and Vaughn came out to visit Coral Park . They were here to present the school
captains with our Ride2School award to acknowledge and celebrate the good work Coral Park are
currently doing in walking, scooting or riding to school. They also wanted to share what our new “Active
Paths” will look like which are to be installed on the foot paths outside of the school grounds to
encourage active travel to school. Sarah from Ride2School said she looked
forward to coming back to Coral Park at the start of term 4 to help the school
launch the pathways. J11 were also awarded the trophy for the most active
grade travelling to school in week 1 of term 3.
Remember when scooting and riding to school
students need to tie up their shoe laces and
wear a bike helmet. The school has a bike shed
that is locked during the day to store scooters
and bikes.
Have you had breakfast today?
Your mind finds it very difficult to concentrate if your
body doesn’t get its morning food source. Don’t forget,
free breakfast is available in the art room each
morning between 8.30am and 8.55am. Come along and
see Tony or Sam for some morning fuel to energise
your body, just in case you ran out of
time to eat at home or forgot to have
breakfast.

Welcome back to another term at Before and After School Care!
This term OSHC is introducing our new healthy eating program. Camp Australia has worked together with Nutrition Australia’s Healthy Eating Advisory Service to create a Healthy Food menu that offers a variety of nutritious food choices.
We look forward to your feedback from your children on their thoughts of our new foods.
If you have any questions about our Healthy Eating Program, or OSHC come and see Jess in the MPC. Or visit www.campaustralia.com.au to enroll.
This term we are trialling fortnightly assemblies.
This week House Meetings will be held for senior students to work
collaboratively with Prep, Junior and Middle students discussing our
Social Skills Programs. Last week they all meet to discuss safety and all
Prep and Junior students created a ‘Helping Hand’ with their older
buddies help. Students identified 5 people they can always go to for
help, keeping Mrs Gray as the thumb to see for assistance if they felth
they aren’t being listened to or the problem hasn’t been resolved.
Students identified their classroom or specialist teachers, parent,
family members or other known adults as other members of their
helping Hand Family. Parents are welcome to come along to house
meetings each fortnight as well as assemblies. Please ask at the office
where your child’s house meeting is located.
Our next assembly will be on Friday 5th August at our regular
afternoon time. Even weeks will be regular assembly times, odd weeks
will have students meeting in their Houses to work on our School Values
and Social Skills program.
