World Teacher's Day

Tomorrow the world celebrates our amazing teachers and the important contribution they make to society. Our students here at COHR are so lucky to be educated by an incredibly talented and gifted team of teachers who care so much about the children they teach. I can’t thank them enough for everything they do in our school. 

Children are invited to wear a wear a fun hat instead of their school hat so they can tip their hat and acknowledge their teachers.

Division Softball

Congratulations to our mixed and girls team who reporesented COHR at the recent Division Level at Waverley Softball. A great team effort!

School 2nd Hand Uniform shop

Efforts have begun to sort and tidy our second hand uniform shop and Community Hub.

We have discovered that there are large numbers of items that are either outdated or too worn to be used for anything other than rags.

As a result, we are looking for places/organisations that will accept our old unifroms (that still have considerable life in them) AND rag recyclers. Do you have any contacts in this area? We would also love an additional clothes hanging rack which must have wheels and be sturdy. If you have one at home/work that you no longer have use for we would be happy to take it off your hands.

Please contact Dani Saruallo, via the school office, if you can help.

Yes, we are happy to accept all donations of COHR uniforms. Rather than leaving them inside the doorway (to avoid a tripping hazzard), could we ask that all donations be dropped off in the labelled tubs provided.

Take care everyone!
