Following the great success of previous competitions, North Shore Trampoline Club have decided to host another regional competition. The competition is open to all Primary, Intermediate and Secondary school students who live in the North Harbour region. An invitation is extended to athletes enrolled in trampoline clubs in the Greater Auckland Area.

These competitions are a fun opportunity for kids who love to bounce whether it be at home, school or club to test their abilities against other athletes within our region. Who knows, where it may lead, they may find themselves in one of our national competitions or working their way to a place at the Olympic games… the sky is the limit!

We really are having an amazing couple of weeks!  This morning new picnic tables were delivered to the school.  Thank you so much to Ben & Tamzyn Adding & family of Object Construction!  Another example of school families utilising their business skills, contacts and suppliers to make things happen around the place.  This helps us tremendously in achieving some of our goals as a school and allows us to put other donated/raised funds elsewhere, so we do appreciate it and are very lucky to have the support of our school families!

We were super excited when some brand new soccers goals were delivered to the school field last week!  Thank you so much to Charlie and Laura James and family of CJ Steel.   It is really fantastic when families like yourselves can utilise your business skills, contacts and suppliers to bring things to fruition.  This really assists us in achieving some of our goals as a school and allows us to put other donated/raised funds elsewhere, so we really appreciate it!
Please support our supporters and click on the CJ Steel logo to see details on their website!

The FOTS Team are super excited to announce the amount raised at the Cupcake Day last Friday!
$715
The Kiwi Team blew us all out of the park with incredible supply of cupcakes!  They looked beautiful!  There are some talented bakers in the Kiwi Team.  Thank you so much for your time & dedication.  It really is brilliant to see so much support with everyone pitching in - you should be proud of yourselves!
We had so much that we had enough leftover to preserve in chillers and sell at the sausage sizzle on Monday.

These surrounding images are of replacement sports equipment we would like to obtain through way of donation or grant funding applications.  In case there is something specific you would like to donate towards, please look out for the email through your class reps, with an online form regarding the costs and details, including replacement picnic tables, and how your family or business may be able to help,  before we apply for funding! 

Alternatively, click here to go directly to the simple online form: Sponsor Equipment Form which lists the items and their associated costs. There are some items you may not be able to contribute fully to so there are options to pay half towards them.
Upon collation of the forms, we can appropriately send account details for payment.

We are super excited to announce that the Friends Of The School have handed over $15,000 to the Coatesville School Board of Trustees.  Between sausage sizzles, pizza days, discos, cupcake days and firewood initiatives, we are very pleased to be in a position at this time of the year to be handing over cash that can immediately benefit the school.  The school will see the much needed replacement of the recently destroyed shade sail, as well as the fence replacement between the carpark and school which will be assembled by a school families working bee and other heat pump replacements around the school.

Thank you so much to all our sponsors and supporters in the community so far this year who have made this possible.  We really appreciate it!

We would really like to acknowledge the Evans family for their continued support of Coatesville School.  Adam has arranged, more than once, for his Urbis Landscape team to tidy up and maintain garden and landscaping areas around the school.

With the support of Urbis Landscapes it helps saves costs for the school and allows us to concentrate on other areas that require funding or caretaker's attention.  If you too have services or materials you or your business can help support the school with, please contact the Principal, Richard Johnson or our Sponsorship & Grants Co-ordinator, Heather Seel.

Well done Lucy Ellingham from Room 1 for winning the Writing Challenge for our focus of 'Persist'. 

Read her amazing story here: 

Maths
“I hate maths” mumbled Lucy bitterly, her head slumped on the table. “So Lucy” said Mr van-dam
“Yes” replied Lucy
“Do you know the answer?”
“The answer to what?” said Lucy confused
“The answer about how to divide two fourths of twenty into 5”
“Oh, um, 24” Lucy blurted out.
“Okay, not quite right, but close”replied Mr van
“Yes Bob” said Mr van dam
“1” said Bob proudly
“Correct Bob”


Sooner or later the home bell rang.
“Good afternoon everyone, have a great night!” Said Mr van dam
Lucy thought about how embarrassed she felt the whole way home.
The next day she decided to try hard to learn something.
She paid so much attention. A answer appeared in her head, she put her hand up “Yes Lucy” “Is it 38” “Yes Lucy, well done!”
Lucy felt warm fuzzies all over her stomach. Each day she noticed that she was improving. A week later Mr Van-dam said who knows how to divide seven ninths into eighty nine, Hands shot up all over the class. But finally Lucy felt enough courage that she could possibly have the answer. “Six?” “Yes!” replied Mr Van-Dam
She was now the classes math magician.
She had improved so much that it was hard for her to remember, how she never thought she could improve. She persisted!

The moral is this story is to persist and to believe in yourself and know you can improve!
