Term Four Week 3 | Wednesday October 30, 2019

From Mr Sarkies and the SRC

Dear Parents & Guardians, 

This Friday, staff members and fathers at Coogee Prep will be commencing growing their moustaches to raise money and awareness for Men’s Health. 

As an incentive, the class with the highest percentage of fathers participate in growing a moustache, will receive class points at the end of the month. 

1st – 350 points 

2nd – 200 points 

3rd – 100 points  

There will be a link sent out during the course of the month, in which families can donate to this cause if they would like to support it.

We are all looking forward to seeing staff members and fathers  being involved in such an important cause and to the moustaches that will result!

Thank you for your support


Mr Matthew 'Moustachio'  Sarkies

Year 3 Teacher and Head of SRC

2020 Swimwear order

Dear Parents

We have changed suppliers (to Engine Swimwear   for our Coogee Prep branded swimwear to ensure a far better quality garment.As we are unsure as to the quantity we need, we are taking pre-orders for these now to ensure we meet demand.The cost is $62.50.If you already have CPS swimmers (blue or black) it is fine to keep wearing them. The smallest size in the new Jammers is a size 8 and the largest is 20. If you order a size that is too small we can exchange it for the bigger one but remember these are very close fitting and boys grow fast!  Think of the size they will be in February - not now.Click here to pre-order and pay.
