Hello /
Kia Ora
Swimming
Carnival
Congratulations
to all the children who competed in our Duathlon last week, and showed their
swimming skills - Coroglen School style.
The
winner of the Junior Swimming Cup was Meg Harper.
Winner of the Senior Swimming Cup was Leon
Melde.
Certificates
of Merit for the junior class went to Jade Jefferson-Henry and Ridge Ngataua.
Certificates of Merit for the senior class went to Riley Jean Macdonald, Seth
Willigers and Moana Manukau. Team Spirit certificates for Effort and Attitude
went to Heather Cocker and Valo Gray. Stella McQueen, Stormi-lee Whitford, Max
Willigers and Hayley Winstone were also recognized for completing the ‘Cross
the River’ swim earlier this term. Well done!
Pool
Closing
We
have decided to close the swimming pool at the end of the term (next Friday).
Swimming will be dependent on the weather but children can still bring their
swimming togs and towel.
Staphylococcus,
Impetigo and Head Lice
We
still have a number of children with sores and some have been diagnosed as
above. Please ensure they are covered to avoid spreading or catching any
infection.
Coughs, colds, lice
and any number of childhood diseases spread quickly through the school
population, so if everyone can be onto treating conditions quickly it will be
very helpful.
Thank you to the mums who dropped off their
contributions to the Charity Horse Trek Lunch. There was an awesome spread for
the dozen ‘Die Hard’ riders who came along and supported our school by doing
the horse trek even though there were a few heavy rain falls during the ride. The
fundraising committee made $580. Special thanks to the Macdonald family for
providing the great venue and hosting the event.
Shave For a Cure
The Coroglen Tavern is holding a Shave for a Cure afternoon on Sunday
the 10th of April at 1pm.
There are 7 people (5 Women and 2 Men) signed up as team “We
Fear NO Hair” to lose their locks for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer Foundation.
Together they have raised $4,780 already for this fantastic cause.
The Coroglen Tavern would like to invite everyone in the community
to come down to cheer on the team while they get shaved. There'll be live music
from Pete the "bald" Rockin' Realtor, a Sausage Sizzle (proceeds
donated) and a "BAD HAIR DAY' competition for the kids. Any kids that come
down with Bad Hair can join in and prizes go to the worst hair styles!
We hope to see you here!
Cheers Michelle, Jed and Team We Fear NO Hair.
Bad Hair Day at School!
If you want a practice run - get your gel out
and your hair spray too and mess your hair up! This Friday we are having a Bad
Hair Day. Any gold coin donations will
be accepted to go towards Shave for a Cure.
