The elections for School Captains and SRC representatives were held this week. Our two school captains for 2007 are Emma Higgs and Matthew Wiltshire. Congratulations to these two successful candidates. We wish them all the best for their last year at Heritage College.

In addition to the School Captains, the SRC representatives were elected. They are: Eliza Davis, David Lynch, Jessica Ginn, Adam Wiltshire, Jordan Ryan, Jesse Carroll and Joshua Dangerfield. Congratulations to all these students.

There will be an assembly held next Wednesday at 10:30 am to induct our new School Captains and SRC representatives.

Next Wednesday the elections for School Captain and the Student Representative Council will be held. Nominations have been received for all office bearers and all positions will be decided by the end of next week. The positions will provide opportunities for leadership and service.

Please note that because of a clash of dates, Heritage College 10th Anniversary evening is to be held on May 12, not in March.

Today all parents are invited to attend Parent Information Sessions relevant to the year level of their child. The infants class session commences at 2:00pm, the Primary session commences at 3:15pm and the High School Session commences at 4:00pm. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Today was the first day back at school for 2007 for all students at Heritage College Cooranbong. It was great to see everyone smiling and enthusiastic in returning to school. It seems everyone had a refreshing holiday and are now ready a raring to go in the new school year.

We welcomed 9 new students today. Six new kindies and three other students in various other year levels. Our numbers are now 86 day students - the most ever! It is great to see that the school continues to grow.

Distance Education for students in year K-6 continues under the direction of Aunty Ingrid Ryan. We now have over 20 DE students from around NSW. It's great to have so many families participating from a variety of locations.

May God bless our efforts at Heritage College throughout 2007.

Heritage College now has a new upgraded website. This will enable us to make the website more useful in the daily operation of the school. The calendar will be automatically updated on a daily basis. The students will also be able to publish work on the website in 2007.

We appreciate the help of Jared Wiltshire who has invested a great deal of time and effort into this project.

We have a throughly revamped website! You might not notice much of a difference but it has improved dramatically under the hood.

Our address has also changed to http://cooranbong.heritage.edu.au/. Our old address http://www.heritage.edu.au/ will become a portal to all the Heritage College websites in Australia.

All the missing content will be re-added tomorrow.

The Annual Fair was held on September 9 and it was a huge success. Despite the rain many supporters of the school attended and it was a lot of fun. The children had a great time on the rides and the adults enjoyed the stalls and the company. Thanks everyone for your support. We couldn't do it without you.
