Coffs Creek Walk 19 October 2019
We gathered at the Olympic Pool at 10am and Ann led us along the Creek Path, past the cemetery and Botanic Gardens, crossing to the north side at Hogbin Drive and returning through the showground. An easy pace on a pleasant sunny day. Plenty of Nature to observe and places that many of us had never visited. Time for a chat and maybe coffee after. Photographer Geoff Maunder.

Girls Captain’s Message
It is with mixed feelings that I find my schooldays reaching their end. I am conscious of many things suddenly – first the many happy days I have spent with you all in work and in play, my fellow students and my teachers, and the unforgettable association I have formed and which I am sure will endure during all my life.
I am also conscious of the fact that our school years are our formative years, and much depends upon our attitude to parental supervision, teacher guidance and team spirit, also our respect and tolerance of our fellows.
Let me urge you to remember that “Lumen ex Tenebris” means not only the learning of material facts and figures, but also the acquisition of personal qualities of character enable you to take you place in the world as a civilised and enlightened being.
Respect your parents, you teachers and your fellow students, and endeavour at all times to a credit to the Coffs Harbour High School. -Ann Young
Boy Captain’s Message
Enjoy your school days while you have them for believe me, they go surprisingly quickly.
Do not consider your work at school a drudgery, but an improver of your mind; work hard at it, and the reward you receive is priceless – education itself.
Foster an ambition, aim high, for it is true that “since you know what you want and are willing to work hard at it for as long as it takes, there is nothing you cannot do.”
While you are at school, think more for your mates than for yourself. Be tolerant and try to see their points of view, even if they violently conflict with yours.
Defend your opinions, but always endeavour to keep you temper and as Ghandi says: “If you are in the right, you can afford to keep your temper; if you are in the wrong, you cannot afford to lose it”. This philosophy certainly merits serious consideration, and, if you abide by it, the respect that your schoolmates have for you will surely increase.
Finally, devote all your energy and skill to any project in hand, whether in school or on the sporting fields.
You will be amazed at your own powers! - Doug Turner
