Mountain Biking in Coolum We are aware that quite a number of our students are into mountain biking and making trails across the Coolum community. This term we have been working with council officers on a possible solution to support these students wanting to ride trails and jumps, balancing this with a safe area. We have arranged a meeting with our local councillor and council officers at 3:30pm Wednesday 2 December at school. During this meeting we will share a proposal for feedback. Council will also return equipment confiscated from the area to students. If you would like to register for this event please e-mail [email protected] or call the office.

Year 1 Fire and Emergency Services Visit
The Firefighters came to visit the Year 1’s this week. They talked about fire safety and they let us
spray water from the truck, out across the oval. We talked about what we enjoyed most, after their
visit, and the important messages we had learned. Here are some of the things we said in our
thank you letters the next day.
Thank you for visiting our school.
I liked it when Jim dressed up in the fireman clothes.
Thank you for letting me look at the fire truck.
I had fun using the hose to spray the grass.
My Dad has checked the smoke alarm and it is working.
I figured out where my spot is if there is a fire at my house.
I remembered to ask my Mum where our meeting place is.
Thanks for showing us what it is like to be a Firefighter. You are cool.
I wish I could be a fireman when I am older.
I hope you come again.
