**TEATOWELS - sales of these were included in the cake stall income. There are plenty left so we will still recoup some costs from this one - they are just gorgeous!** ART SHOW - this was an expense that we committed to independent of the Centennial as a an arts program to be funded by the p&c. i have included here as the income/expenditure has a direct relationship to the Centennial. think about 50% were purchased on the day so we should see some more $$ **HAY BALES - i think this has all been onsold but not paid for. needs to be arranged with the interested parties - Farm School?? Sandra??Anyonelse??**

**GREAT DAY!**

**Late breaking news.... Candle Making is out and Interactive Crafts are in!!!** I just got a call from the good folks at Wax Magic who report the clutch on their truck has just given out, and it's a custom rig to power their custom candle-making trailer, etc...... Long story short (yes, I suggested lots of alternatives...), they won't be able to make the Centenerary. Big bummer! In despair, I called around all the other mobile candle-making operators in the coast/tweed area (all 3 of them...) and they are all booked out for other school fetes, some even boasting waiting lists..... And yes, I tried begging, bribing and breaking down..... Another big bummer! Finally, I started thinking laterally and hit all the craft shops in the area on a fishing trip and Voila! We have the lovely Rosa from **Crakalakin** (formerly Crafty World until Rosa's daughter saw //Madagascar//...) who will come on Saturday and set up a stall for the kids to make/paint/decorate lots of things like frames, door knockers, drums, shakers, etc. Basically, it will be an assortment of craft activities from which the kids can choose. Like the candle-making, she will set up and sell activities for different prices, passing 20% back to the school at the end of the day. Rosa is an artist and is also very interested in talking about holiday and after-school programs involving the kids in arts and crafts (like we've discussed in meetings previously...), so this could be the start of a beautiful thing :) And still pretty "old-timey" too.... Trey

== First Centenary Celebrations for Currumbin Valley State School **1908 - 2008** = General Ideas and Questions = = = · Is it a good idea to have a focus, such as a main event? I think this should be the opening of the time capsule.

· What about an “Olden Days” theme? Accepted. Perhaps we could offer a contest for best costume? I doubt everyone will want to dress up and that may give those who do some fun. I think that's a great idea. **We can have a costume parade, followed by a judging process. I'm happy to judge. //Anyone else???//** I am in.

· To request that a whole school unit of “Olden Days” be arranged to create a sense of understanding of life at the turn of the century. Carina: A whole school unit is being planned and the note should go out this week explaining all. //**Trey: What student work will we get to display? Is it all sorted in the "art exhibition" or do we need to arrange another space and mounting?**//

**__Date settled for Sat. 6 September __ 10am-4pm **
==**10:00-16:00. Dinner afterwards at 6:00 (Lee) Dinner has been booked at the Rocks on Saturday 6th September from 6:00pm. Tickets are on sale from the office at $55.00 per head. There is a limit of 100 guest. Many tickets have been pre booked.** ==

== · Is it a good idea to include some fundraising activities? stalls and perhaps a raffle can bring in money? The flags we have sold have raised $1100+ ==

== · Do we advertise to let the past students know about the event? Carina: some people have contacted the office and I have put their names on a list on the office computer. · Can the school send out invitations to the past and present students? == == //Are you handling this Kylie and/or Kerry?**__Kerry: Didn't know about it - I have only a few names on file (via little emails that people have sent me) that I handed on to Lee at some stage. I could try and find them but it's only a short list.__**// == == Kylie here, wondering about the list of invitees, has any one collabarated? Fiona and Deb Dennis have a good idea of past families and valley residents. I will ask Kerry to help devise the invitation, when all activites are confirmed, this needs to happen asap ==

I will do a media release after Thursday meeting with all confirmed details
== Kirstin Truman's name was mentioned as a help in this way - but I don't know her so could anyone else liase with her? ==

= = = = = Possible Zones = = = · A __large__ marquee with stage to house possible bush band/music, display photos and old treasures, afternoon tea, presentations and CVSScentenary items of interest Do we want to set something up or just use existing cover? I suggest the latter. Alan Mourad has a big cover we can borrow, but it takes some setting up and breaking down - a job for 4 + people the days before and after the festival **I'm happy to help (Trey)! //Are you OK with loaning it, Alan? Does anyone else have a big cover to go with Alan's?//** If the weather is fine the day before and the forecast good, we can leave Alan's big one aside and use the easier school's shade.**__Kerry: The Ecovillage has a blue square one we could borrow__** Apparently Currumbin State School has 4 very easy marquees big enough for 200 kids, Call Ken Lydiard

· Bales of hay set up as seating throughout the oval Accepted - and **//were the bales coming from the farm school?//** No - I have asked Rob Tyrell if he can bring some. If they are not returned, the farm school will buy any spare. they cost $12 each and the farm school can use any type of bale. Bales of hay are available from Kleinschmidts at Jacobs Well for $3.50 delivered, sell extras at gate. Sandra Watkins, (who suggested this) said she would buy 30 of them, Phone 55 462 164 / 0417764952 The school vegies garden could do with some bales around the perimeter too. · Stall area Michelle is mapping this out and organising the stalls.

· Activity area ** Kids' activities like tug-o'-war, sack races, etc. can be on the oval if it's available (I do them - sorted). //But I could use some volunteers on the day!//!... ** can we marshall a team of, say, 5 parents to be games organisers with Trey in charge? MARK is on board

How about a set-up session at 3pm on the day before, Friday 5th, when many parents are there to help? Designing and ordering plaques to sell. Candle-making stall ü **Done.

Already committed to:

Co-ordinate others, with Andrew. Prepare to open and replace TIME CAPSULE, with Trey. in discussion.... And we are making a plaque, with Kerry's help. Order flags- this is done - and fly flags - when they are delivered. Mugs, pencils etc. proof too expensive and so we are not bothering with them. Invite Green exhibitors. Gecko House is bringing a stall and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is bringing a snake, a small crocodile and perhaps a lizard, from 10.30-1.30: they need 3 chairs and a table.
 * __ Andy Kidd __**

Prepare to open and replace TIME CAPSULE. With Andy. We are looking for a capsule to put it all in....
 * __ Trey __**

=
__I now have a package from the Koala Foundation so we can use one or two of their photos__. We need suggestions for what to place in the next time capsule. Kerry: always good to have a couple of things that are a bit controversial right now. We would, for sure have a photo of a koala (recent press says there may be no more in Queensland after 2028), some local seeds of an endemic plant, the press clipping about the centennial, a photo of the school as it is now, a Popper tetra pack (empty) - just a few suggestions/span ====== **__Lee asked me to organise my daughter Melissa and Susie Winckle to open the time capsule, they were the kids that originally placed it in the rockwork. They are able to attend on the day.__**

I would add to t he time capsule perhaps a 2008 school photo, .... I have spoken to year 6/7 and they have some ideas for this. (LEE) Also I think it would be good and have organized Jan, Liz and one of the students who put the time capsule in to open it on the day. (LEE) Students in 1998 also added to the time capsule. Each class can contribute to the time capsule will talk to the teachers about this. Could the teachers ask kids to write about life at school in 2008 for the capsule?

Games. Let's get a core team of 5 helpers for this. Mark has volunteered.

Pottery? I don't do this myself, but I'll try to get the guy who did Golf Day last year. There is clay at school, and it is a somple affair to let anyone have a lump to sculpt something with for a gold coin - it just needs a volunteer to hold the stall. Kylie here have spoken with Ron the sculptor and he is happy to do a clay workshop for 2 hours, school needs to provide clay, tables, etc. please confrim details asap.

Co-ordinate others, with Andy. Invite past teachers, students, dignitaries, and prepare official bit of the day.

Hi Team (This is Andrew finally) //The information above looks fntastic and definately makes feel a little more at ease about the celebration. I organised for Liz to spend last Monday putting a list of previous staff and Principals together for me and I will be faxing that list to head office on Thursday. They will contact the people on the list if they are still EQ employees and ask them to get in contact with CVSS. We will then get their address details and send out invitations. This seems like alot of double handling but due to privacy issues, we must go down this path. Any other ideas are welcome! I will also contact PBC High, Elanora High, St Andrews (Any Others??) to place an advert in their next newsletter. We may catch a few ex-students that way. Any other suggestions for ex - students????// //We will also contact the NEW mail man for the Valley and organise a flyer drop off.//

Sandra Watkins, an ex principal has made some suggestions and also supplied some information to me. * Staff, kids and families to dress up: ideas in classroom beforehand so it makes it easier. GCCC had a Historical Fair at Robina, perhaps some of them may be interested in attending. Had a good photographic display too. *If you need any artwork done for glasses, pens, etc Matt can do the work. Advertise in Ed VIews, Bullletin, GC SUn. Daily News, radio and TV. Media to attend on the day. Kids to prepare short play on interesting incident in the past. Slideshow of past photos Pullenvale SS and Griffith Uni (Nathan) have old wares available. So does the Queensland Museum. Project Club display and sales table. Handwriting Comp, Celebrating Currumbin Valley Centenary, done in ink with nibs. prizes, judging etc. Invite local members of COuncil and Parliament. Local groups to do historical displays, fire brigade, church, Red Cross (Vola Bass) Treasure Hunt with gold carboard 100 cut into 1,0,0 kids that find a set win a prize. Apparently we have a bush poet that lives on Tomewin Road.... name to come.

Hi All, not sure if I am doing this correctly, for my wiki debut, but just wanted to say I was planning on editing the previous 80 year history down to a much smaller version, probably like a point form time line, to make it easier for people to digest and thought maybe just a simple three page brochure might be a nice format to have on the day for a small gold coin donation? I am happy to do this editing, but we'd need someone to lay it out ready for printing if we decide this is what we want to do. Can someone confirm if this is the way to go, and if we have a graphic designer and a printer who can produce such a brochure for us in time. I could have the edit done by the end of the week if necessary, ' cheers, tim baker. Hi Tim, I may have a contact who could do the artwork, but would need in the next four days or so. Liz at CVSS Hi Kerstein Trueman here, past parent. The centenary celebrations sound fantastic, well done to all. I currently reside in the area close to RSL and am happy to a letter box drop if you need it for this area. (Good for excercise!) Also happy to do baking for cake stall and more than happy to volunteer the whole day, preferably in the canteen but otherwise wherever I'm needed. Also may be able to get my son, (past student Nick, 14) and others from his year to volunteer on a stall if there is one suitable and needing help. Looking forward, Kerstein 0402 304 770. PS. Has anyone thought about putting something in the local highschools' newsletters? Could maybe attract participants and/or volunteers.

= Golf Day 2008 = As he has now done for seven years, Glenn Ford (3D) was most generous in his support of the Classic. We all enjoy a great day but we should remember the Classic is what it is because of Glenn’s support and we should be supporting him when we need any paint or painting material.. The very dry winter, although causing the Valley cattle owners some concern, meant the grass on the Classic course was mostly short and provided for some low scoring. As usual the many new players were really impressed by the spectacular beauty of the Currumbin Valley. But down to the real business; The weather was clear and sunny however a steady breeze made for a chilly start After a hot breakfast from our kitchen crew Jeff Allen & Tim Asser (cooks) and assistants Vola Bass & Kerry Shepherd, the players all kitted up were off to their respective starting holes for a 9.00am Shot-gun Start. Player registration had gone without a hitch with great help from Allan Bass, Narelle & Ellie Hall despite some unfortunate cancellations and about ten players arriving unannounced.. About half a dozen players failed to complete the course but 74 battled through to the finish with some quality scores. 2008 saw another first for the Classic with a family blitz by the Crouchs from Tallebudgera. Warren took off the 2008 Champion’s title with a fine one over par 38 narrowly defeating Rob Cinelli on 39. Shirley Crouch took out the Ladies title for the fourth consecutive year matching last years score of 50. The Classic has a tradition of the previous years winner crowning the new champ with the Championship Cap, however last years winner was overseas so Warren’s “capping” was appropriately done by wife Shirley. Shirley was closely followed by a newcomer Briony Petch who scored a fine 51. The 2008 Handicap winner was a regular player Greg Smith with a Nett 36. NTP prizes on all the twelve holes were won by excellent shots but none were closer than Luke Power who holed out in one on the very popular but challenging 9th hole Peak to Peak On the financial side the players can be very pleased with themselves for contributing around $2500 to the School’s benefit. The Classic was again very generously supported by local business with a number of potential new sponsors among the new players. Lets hope we are all around the make the 2009 Classic the best ever. Lastly, many thanks to the P&C Committee for their continuing support of the Classic and for their helpers on the day.

This means I am unable to play in the golf day like planned. The good news is that I will now be able to help out in the morning. However I will need to head off around 10.30am and will need someone to alarm the school at the end of the day. Looks like this will be a great day for the community. Keep up the great work team.
 * __ 3D TWEED PAINT & COLOUR – CURRUMBIN VALLEY __** **__ OPEN GOLF CLASSIC – 2008 REPORT __**

**__ P&C MEETING 24.07.08 __** Great to see the P&C meeting well supported and with a few new faces. Just to ensure we’re all on the same wavelength, I thought I would summarise my impression of the Golf Day discussions. Firstly the Golf Day will be completely independent from the Centennial Celebrations. The BBQ will be located adjacent to the Tuckshop and for the players’ breakfast will equipped and staffed by the sponsors (Howard & Lisa Battye). Jeff Allen will also be working. The Tuckshop will be open and manned by P&C workers serving free tea/coffee to the players. **__Kerry happy to do tea / coffee as last year__**. Don't forget to check Sam's notes at the bottom of this page! I (Trey) can arrive at around 7am to open the school and get stuff ready for the BBQ, but will need to head out again at around 8:15 at the latest. Who can I leave in charge until I return around 1pm? Players arrive at the school for breakfast at 8am and depart for golfing at what time? Is there an agreed schedule for the day? Following departure of the players there will be little activity at the Tuckshop other than preparing for Bar service and for players lunch. The BBQ will be stocked and operated from around 12noon by the P&C. I will liase with Kerry Shepherd regarding use of liquor in stock and will arrange for pickup and delivery of any extra stock from BWS at Currumbin Fair.I will need a cheque at pickup time and will contact Treasurer Sam for same. The liquor will be delivered to the Tuckshop on afternoon of Sat. 23rd. I will advise Michelle on a time at a later date. Lisa Battye may also want to deliver breakfast food to Tuckshop on Sat. Sorted - see Sam's note below... I will be running the refreshment truck during the golf **__(John, do you need assistance with this - it's a big job? I'm sure we could get some assistance - KERRY)__** and will be calling at the Tuckshop during the morning to replenish supplies. The P&C will make application to Licencing Court for the day with operating time of 11.00am to 4.00pm. Approved, but I haven't received it yet... Michelle will provide me with access to a storeroom on the Sat for storing the golf trophies and prizes. PA system with background music and a microphone for presentation will be available. I (Trey) will set this up on the day. I will be providing some goods for a raffle to which the P&C may wish to contribute. Are we raffling __anything__? Any problems, give me a call on 5533 0444 or 0431 208 320. John Harris **__Kerry is available for the day - can assist with breakfast (tea and coffee like last year) and / or set up / lunch. Please instruct__** Is this still the case, Kerry? If so, it makes things a lot easier! __ ALCOHOL & SOFT DRINKS PICKED UP FROM KERRY SHEPHERD 29.7.08 __ The following were picked up from Kerry Shepherd for use on the Golf Day. 42 cans Carlton Mid-Strength 26 cans 4XXXX Gold 5 stubbies Hahn Light 4 bottles Yellowtail Bubbles 2 bottles McPhersons Verdehlo 1 bottle Yellow champagne 11 bottles Spring water 44 cans std Coke 30 cans Diet Coke 22 cans Sprite lemonade 21 cans Solo John Harris We have put in liquor application and I was wondering if you would like me to do aquick flyer for this weeks newsletter -Jo __18th August__ have spoken with John Harris & the following has been confirmed: numbers are now about 90people & he is expecting some late entrants this week - so lets say 100 breakfast BBQ now to be run & sponsored by new volunteers - we are required for coffee/tea/juice etc. Kerry & I will be there for this john to meet Michelle & I Sat 23rd at the tuckshop (from 11:000am - 1:00pm) to deliver alcohol/ice/food for breakfast sam & michelle will purchase all food required for lunch. have spoken to the butcher at currumbin he is great, also have a meeting with owner of foodworx tugun tomorrow (tues 19th) & am very confident of supply of cheese plates at heavily discounted price suggested menu: burgers with coleslaw (vege option - i will talk to denise about her famous vege pattie recipe) bbq chicken wings cheese plate **please let me know if you have any suggestions to the above - will be finalising wed** Sounds great.
