As we reach the middle of the term, it is natural for both students and families to feel the weight of routine, commitments, and growing tiredness. Parenting experts such as Maggie Dent and Michelle Mitchell remind us that children thrive when they are supported with steadiness, encouragement, and a sense of connection at home and school.

Mid-term fatigue is a normal part of the learning cycle, but it can be eased through small, intentional practices.

• Prioritising rest and healthy rhythms, with time for quiet moments, family meals, and unhurried conversations.
• Offering reassurance and perspective, reminding young people that perseverance builds resilience and that challenges are part of growth.

At school, we deeply value partnering with families to help students maintain their stamina and finish the term well. Simple encouragement – a note in the lunchbox, celebrating small wins, or recognising effort rather than just results, can make a big difference. By working together, we can support our young people to pace themselves and continue moving towards their goals with confidence and strength.

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we would love your feedback on our school report cards. Your insights help us ensure reports are clear, meaningful, and useful in supporting your child’s growth. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Please provide feedback by Thursday 4 September.

Our OHSC is now accepting bookings for their exciting September Vacation Care program. Secure your spot today to avoid missing out. For more details and to view the program, please follow the link below.

Community Code of Conduct – Cooloola Christian College

At Cooloola Christian College, we uphold a clear and meaningful Community Code of Conduct, which establishes the standards of behaviour expected from all members of our school community, Cooloola Christian College. Central to this code is the recognition of our staff as dedicated, qualified professionals.

We ask that every parent, carer, and community member engage in communication that is both respectful and constructive - whether in person, on the phone, in emails, or through our digital platforms. By approaching interactions with kindness, clarity, and professionalism, we honour the integrity of our staff and nurture the spirit of partnership that defines our community.

Winter is a common time for colds, flu, and other infectious illnesses to spread.

Find a handy poster below outlining the required and recommended exclusion periods for common illnesses and infectious conditions below.

We kindly ask that CCC families not park in the designated ELC carparks during the afternoon pick-up time. The current use of these areas by CCC families is causing a need for ELC families to park further away, making it difficult to safely collect their children.

Thank you

A reminder to families to please ensure that your child comes to school with their own hat. While we understand that occasionally hats may be forgotten, borrowing hats should be considered a last resort.

Thank you.
