I’ve been invited to many events around Coolum this past month – it’s been such a pleasure to spend time with the clubs and people who make this special area such a great place to live.
Thanks to Coolum Beach Breakers AFL Football Club for inviting me to watch them train and present jerseys to the girls’ team. This is a great club, with a fantastic family-friendly culture of fun and respect, and a wonderful support network of coaches, administrators and parents. The athletes trained with determination, and I wish the Breakers great success through the season.
Thank you also to the Coolum State High School for inviting me to be part of their ANZAC day commemorations. Hearing students reflect on what the day means to them is always heart-warming.
On Sunday, May 6, I’ll be attending the Sunshine Coast Malayalee Association Easter Celebration at the Coolum Civic Centre. There will be activities for kids and opportunities to learn about the Malayalee culture with music, dancing and delicious food.
New irrigation for Coolum centre
There is now irrigation to the centre median through the Coolum central business area. A drop system has been installed as a safe way to water the medium strip and give life to sustain a vibrant garden during the dry hot summer months.
Jack Morgan Park
A number of large sandstone blocks have been placed under the stand of trees near the childcare centre in response to a request from a Tai Chi group wanting to a place to put their bags. These blocks will serve as seating and no doubt be fun for the kids to climb on.
