  • “Light out of Darkness” from the PRINCIPAL
    Cnr Edinburgh & Nile Streets, Coffs Harbour, NSW, 2450 Telephone: 02 6652 3466 Fax: 02 6651 4004 “Light out of Darkness” QUALITY EDUCATION SINCE 1938 th Term 1 — 2016/02 5 April 2016 FROM THE PRINCIPAL On behalf of our staff and students I would like to express our sympathy for the family of Tracy Skinner, one of our canteen assistants, who passed away over Easter. Tracy had a long history with our school, working loyally alongside retired manager Gail Swan and current manager Michelle Waugh for over 10 years. Tracy‘s children Brooke and Lucas completed their schooling at Coffs High, and their former teachers in particular would like them to know that we are thinking of them. My apologies to P&C members for the late but unavoidable cancellation of the AGM and March meeting. The electricity blackout in the whole Jetty area made the venue for our meeting unsafe. Our April meeting and postponed AGM were well attended and I thank the 2015 office bearers for their splendid work, and also the 2016 team taking on these important tasks:- President: Paul Covington Vice Presidents: Deanne Parker Sally Bryant Secretary: Rebecca Hulbert Treasurer: Karen Bryant Publicity Officer: Sally Bryant I would like to seize this opportunity to urge our new families to consider joining P&C. In our school this is an immensely active, efficient and generous organisation which over the years has given the school huge benefits, both financial and moral. Our best chance of seeing this dynamic asset continue to flourish is the pleasure of welcoming new people there with each new student intake.
