Our awesome Ag Day! T
he weather was perfect and the school looked magnificent for the annual Coatesville School Ag Day. Once again it proved to be an extremely well supported and successful event for the school and our wider community. We wanted to hold a memorable event and to raise some money in the process. Well, we were highly successful on both counts! A large number of people attended and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and a large amount of money was raised during the day (official figure still to be confirmed but we anticipate it was possibly a record figure or close to it). The silent auction was extremely well supported, as the bidding on an enormous number of

desirable goods and services was hotly contested. The stalls − food, produce, plant, book, clothing, lucky dip and many others − and all the activities also did a tremendous trade and satisfied many. Great work! Many, many thanks to the Ag Day committee who worked tirelessly in the lead-up to the event and on the day. We are very fortunate we have so many committed people willing to work so hard for our school and community. Many parents, family members and staff also provided essential support on the day to ensure all the systems, stalls and activities ran successfully. Many fantastic members of the wider Coatesville community also stepped up to help with planning

and preparations, coordination of judges, animal, plant and rural tradition project judging, running stalls/activities and providing valuable sponsorship in a number of ways for the event. We are so extremely grateful to these wonderful people who support us so generously. And finally, one of the pleasures of Ag Day for many is reconnecting with the many former students, staff and families. It is such a great place to catch up on the latest happenings with the school and with their lives. Long may it continue to be an event which brings Coatesville − both current and past − together to celebrate our special place in the world. We will see you all at the next event! Thank you for your support. Richard Johnson, Principal, Coatesville School
