25.01.2022 Good morning everyone, here is a little something from all of us at Coburn to let you know we are thinking of you and miss you all! Remember, none of us planned for this but we can achieve great things when we work together.

25.01.2022 We are excited to share our Virtual Tour with you all! During all these COVID restrictions it has provided us the opportunity to learn new skills and find other ways of doing things. Normally at this time of year we are busy holding tours with our new Prep families. This virtual tour allows us to share our wonderful school with everyone while keeping everyone safe. Enjoy!

25.01.2022 Today is Education Support Staff day! Although not all of them were onsite today, we organised a special treat for them all. Our Education Support Staff are passionate and hardworking, always wanting the best for your children. 3 Coburn Claps for their dedication

25.01.2022 Today marked the end of our Principal Ms Mintons journey with Coburn Primary School. We would like to thank Ms Minton for everything she has done for our school and community over the last 6.5 years. We have seen her commitment and dedication to our school evident in the improvements and growth in our learning programs and environment. We sincerely thank Ms Minton and wish her all the best for her next journey.

24.01.2022 Just as we encourage our students to take time to look after their wellbeing, we also encourage our staff. Take a minute to watch the video we shared with our students today to give them an insight as to how our teachers are looking after themselves.

24.01.2022 Can you believe that tomorrow is Wellbeing Wednesday again already?? We sent out a quick survey a couple of weeks ago and are blown away at the positive feedback we received. We are so pleased that this addition to our Remote and Flexible learning has made things easier and given our community something to look forward to. What are your plans for tomorrow? We are looking forward to making pancakes! We also take this opportunity to thank our Leading Teachers who have done an amazing job of planning and preparing for each Wednesday, they have done an outstanding job!

23.01.2022 Week one of remote learning done and we all survived. It will get easier as we go, especially when we work together. We are part of history right now. How will your family remember it?

22.01.2022 Please read the attached document for return to onsite arrangements starting Monday 12th October

22.01.2022 Sorry Coburn Community, this one is late! Todays hunt is aimed at our younger students. Maybe it will keep them busy while you cook dinner. Stay warm and dry everyone, its a great night for a family movie night!

22.01.2022 OSH Club have released the next At Home flyer. It is full of activities that your child/ren can do at home. This is just a copy as the actual document is interactive. We have emailed this out to our families this afternoon. Hopefully everyone can find something they are interested in!

22.01.2022 Hi Coburn Community, Please check your emails or Flexibuzz for information on school operations on Wednesday 5th August.

21.01.2022 The vast majority of students in Victoria are learning from home because that is the advice from our health experts. If we did not follow this advice, more than... one million children, their parents and school staff congregating at our schools has the potential to spread Coronavirus in our community. Let me be very clear, particularly to the federal government who do not run any schools, we will only transition back to face-to-face teaching for all students when that is the advice of the Victorian Chief Health Officer. Not a moment before. What we are doing in combating this pandemic is working. But the situation is very fragile. A move back too early could see a spike in cases and a need to reimpose any restrictions we may have eased. I know this is hard - for parents and carers, students and educators - flexible and remote learning is challenging, no doubt. But I could not be prouder of our principals, teachers and support staff. Exceptional, dedicated and innovative. They are doing their very best. I am seeing this first-hand as a father of three school-aged children. And I could not be prouder of Victorian parents and carers. 97% of children are learning remotely. You have heard and understood the message. Thank you. And for students where learning from home is simply not possible, our schools are open for you. We are all in this together. And it is working because at all times we have followed the advice of our health experts in Victoria. We must, and we will, continue to do that.

20.01.2022 Hi everyone, please take 5 minutes to watch this with your children in preparation for our return of Prep, One and Two students tomorrow. Please take particular notice of the information on which gate your child/ren will be able to use to enter the school.

19.01.2022 Sneak peak alert! Our Art teacher, Ms Sommeling has been busy creating a Bitmoji Classroom for her students. This is an interactive space with lots of hidden ways for students to be engaged. Keep an eye out for its release! We are very proud of our staff for going above and beyond in this challenging time looking for ways to keep our students engaged.

19.01.2022 I know parents are apprehensive about Term 2 and how learning from home will work. Ill admit, as a father of three school aged kids, I am a little bit as well! This is a message to all the parents out there.

19.01.2022 Today is World Teachers Day. It is a day where we stop and honour our teachers and thank them for everything they do. All teachers have faced additional challenges this year and we could not be prouder of our staff. They work exceptionally hard every day to ensure our students have the best opportunities. A big thank you to all our teachers here at Coburn!

19.01.2022 If you havent already, check out ABC Education. Its a great safe site to have kids explore and learn about lots of different things. They even did a lesson on why onions make us cry! They are extending the educational programming on ABC ME to 10am to 3pm for Term 2. They plan on having Primary school content in the morning then move to Secondary content in the afternoons.

18.01.2022 That’s a wrap for a very strange and unique Term 3! Who would have thought that we would have an entire term as Remote and Flexible learning. A very big well done to our students and families for the resilience, flexibility and persistence that we saw during this challenging time. A very big thank you to all our staff for the determination, creative thinking and willingness to make this work. We know that Term 4 will be different and a challenge and we also know that with ...what we have seen from our students, families and staff we are well prepared for the next challenge. Have a safe and relaxing break, we look forward to seeing everyone physically or digitally next term!

18.01.2022 Anzac Day 2020 ~ Lest we forget * Each individual image below was created by a Coburn student at home during remote learning

18.01.2022 Last day of our Scavenger Hunts! Todays hunt will have our Coburn kids on an invention hunt. We hope that these scavenger hunts have helped with filling your days!

16.01.2022 Do your children still have questions about Covid 19 and everything that is going on in the world? Play School have an episode to support your family with this conversation.

14.01.2022 Do you have a child starting Prep in 2021? We are finalising our grades for 2021. If you haven't already enrolled your child please email us at [email protected] for an Enrolment Enquiry Form.

14.01.2022 Melton Taekwondo shared this idea for getting active! Try it out today, those of us with longer names might find it a little harder

14.01.2022 Now more than ever, our kids need us. Not to become their teachers but to be their parents and carers. To let them know that itll be ok, that we love them, a...nd that the world will keep turning even if they dont finish all their schoolwork today. They dont need us to become experts in maths, science or PE. Theyve got their teachers for that. And let me tell you their teachers are extremely good at it. No matter what happens in the coming weeks and months, theyll make sure our kids are still on track. But right now, our kids need us to take care of them. To watch out for changes in behaviour to sleeping patterns, mood, and appetite. To make sure theyre not being over-exposed to bad news and that they feel like they can ask questions. And to make sure that, if things start getting a bit overwhelming we reach out and seek help.

13.01.2022 R U Ok? This is something that we should be asking each other all the time. Now more than ever during this time of extra stress and pressure. Today is a day to remind us how easy it is to check in with a family member, friend, neighbour or colleague. Make sure you take a minute today to look after your own mental health.

13.01.2022 Have you seen the beautiful footpath art people have been doing? Wish you could do one but dont have chalk? Olivia and Makaylah want to share how to make chalk at home with you. Look at the photos below for the recipe and the girls creation. Thanks for sharing Olivia and Makaylah

13.01.2022 Term 4 begins tomorrow! Can you believe that we are up to Term 4 already! We hope everyone has had a restful break and is recharged ready for a productive Term 4. Our staff are excited to see everyone online tomorrow. We will be communicating with everyone about the return to onsite learning early next week.

13.01.2022 Day 1 of remote learning complete. Well done to all our Coburn students and their families. Just remember there will always be teething issues when things are new but we will work through this together. There will be more rigour added to this as it progresses. Parents do the best you can and communicate with us. Look at this picture of Chloe from prep to brighten your day. Look at how proud she is of her great work. 3 Coburn claps for Chloe

12.01.2022 Today is the day that Principals are acknowledged all over the world. It is timely that this year the day is right when we are in the middle of a global pandemic and remote learning. Principal class work hard in every school, every day but at the moment are working even harder in the best interest of students. I thank Ms Tina Agosta, Mrs Emma Hampton & Ms Samantha Lloyd for their hard work and dedication to Coburn staff, students and the community. Together we make a great team

12.01.2022 To all the Mums in our Coburn community, we hope you have a lovely day

12.01.2022 Hi Coburn Community, Please check your emails or Flexibuzz for information on school operations for Monday 24th August.

12.01.2022 Today marked 100 days of school for our Prep students. Not exactly how we imagined celebrating this achievement but we hope they all had a wonderful day!

12.01.2022 We would like to wish all the Dad’, Grandpa’s, Pa’s and special men in our Coburn Community and on Staff a very Happy Fathers Day. We hope you are all having a relaxing day with your families. Thank you for all that you do xx

11.01.2022 Good morning everyone! Please refer to attached video and document for our welcome message from our new Principal, Mrs Weston.

10.01.2022 The Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews has sent all school staff a letter, thanking them for all their hard work. What a lovely gesture to express appreciation for the work that staff in every school are doing for their students at this time.

09.01.2022 This was not our idea, we have borrowed it from another school but just couldnt resist sharing! These holidays we are sure that as parents/guardians you have had to say no to lots of things. The idea here, is that you say yes once a day to something your little people ask you. Write it on a sticky note or piece of paper and put it in a jar. When all this is over, it can be your families bucket list. You can work your way through the jar and be more grateful than ever for all the little and lovely things in our lives. Lets see how full we can get our jars!

09.01.2022 Have you stopped to admire our beautiful gardens, school grounds, buildings and facilities. Mick and Liz work hard to keep them looking the way they do. They do a great job!

09.01.2022 Day 4 of our Scavenger Hunt! Try to make time to get out in your backyard to complete this one before the rain comes back!

07.01.2022 We would like to wish all the Dad, Grandpas, Pas and special men in our Coburn Community and on Staff a very Happy Fathers Day. We hope you are all having a relaxing day with your families. Thank you for all that you do xx

07.01.2022 While we are home in isolation its great to spend time with our pets. I saw this idea on Facebook and challenged some of our staff to do this with their pets. The pictures will make you smile as will trying to do this with your own pet. We would love to see your pictures

07.01.2022 Are your children missing PE. Joe is doing daily PE classes for children (Monday to Friday) on his YouTube channel. Lets get active! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEWcBIvqjDk

05.01.2022 Good morning on this drizzly morning! Todays Scavenger Hunt is perfect for a wet day. Lets see how many of these you can find (and put away when your finished ).

04.01.2022 First week of Remote and Flexible Learning 2.0 complete! We are very proud of how well our Coburn kids have settled back into learning from home. We have had lots of positive feedback on our Wellbeing Wednesday and wanted to share some posts from our students.

03.01.2022 Here is some craft activities to keep the kids busy this Easter weekend. We found these ideas on other sites that we thought you would enjoy. These can be made with empty milk bottles and egg cartons.

02.01.2022 Day 2 of our Scavenger Hunts! Todays hunt is all about books! See how many points you can find. This one might be a bit messy so Coburn kids, make sure you put all the books away when your finished!

02.01.2022 I saw this on a Facebook group named the kindness pandemic. Are your children missing someone that they cant see at the moment? How nice is this to show that you are thinking and missing someone. Imagine how much a Grandparent would love to receive this

01.01.2022 We are so excited to welcome our students back onsite tomorrow! Our Principal class team will be ready to welcome everyone at the gates with a smile and sanatiser!
