The Pink Paper

Term 4 Week 7 - Phone: 6683-2073 Fax: 6683-2636 Email: coraki-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au Wed. 22nd Nov. 2017.

Me and my family decided to move to Coraki. We mainly chose it because of its environment,

shops and other services are near, so we thought it was terrific. Me and my little sister

made friends the first day we were here because of Coraki’s friendly environment.

We love the nice quiet in Coraki. Angela Parry.

Coraki is a good place. People look after their gardens and animals. Coraki has a good school.

Our gorgeous kids ….

Flashback – cute snippets copied straight from the ‘Kids Page’ of the Pink Paper - issued 2003!

Coraki’s a wonderful place. It’s full of wonderful people and wonderful surroundings. Coraki was built next to the Wilson and Richmond Rivers. We have a population of 1300 people. That’s not bad for a small

town. We have lots of history in Coraki. We also have a lovely riverbank. Roseanna Ronan.

* My Mum’s name is Susan. She likes to read. Anna Jo.

* My Mum’s name is Janey and she likes watching the Bulldogs football team on T.V. Liam.

My town Coraki is the best. Come on over, put it to the test. The shops are tops, the schools are great. The healing stones help us relate. The hospital helps

support your health; three churches take your choices. The rivers meet near the baby beach,

everything within your reach. But the best of all the people in it who care and help with the citizen spirit.

* I like Aunty Claire telling stories about the Bible. I like her beautiful pictures she gets me to colour

in. Liam.
