Sport update
CHS Open Boys Volleyball
The Open Boys Volleyball team recently competed in the CHS Volleyball Competition at Murwillumbah. The Boys sacrificed many lunchtimes to train and were well prepared for the knock out competition. Unfortunately for the boys we came up against the finalist, Wollumbin in the first round. We really pushed Wollumbin in the opening set, only losing 21-19 but they showed their class and we ended up losing in straight sets. This however has ignited a fire in the boys who are all extremely keen to continue training and build on their skills in preparation for next years competition. Watch this space!
Congratulations to Touma Cameron who had a fantastic game and trial match. Touma has been selected to compete at Regionals which will take place next year in Ballina.
Mr Joshua Boon - PDHPE Teacher
CHS Girls Volleyball – dig, set, spike … high five!!!
The Open Girls Volleyball team recently competed in the CHS Volleyball Competition at Wollumbin. The girls had prepared well for this tournament and ended up making the semi-finals on the day. Ella Taylor and Pan Sarakham were selected to compete at regionals.

3 freezer hacks for the holiday season
Sign up to the FREE Food Smart program and win!
Did you know that about $10 billion worth of good food is thrown away every year by NSW households? That’s an average of $3,800 a year per household! With the festive season fast approaching, it’s a good time to think about how to store your food right to avoid wasting food.
Here are 3 freezer hacks to help your food last longer this summer:
- If you have leftover BBQ’s or roasts, freeze them to use for a meal another time. Just defrost in the fridge for 1-2 days before you want to use it.
- Chop up leftover herbs and put them in ice cube trays topped up with water. You can add herb ice cubes to meals while cooking for a hit of flavour, or pop them in a refreshing summer drink!
- Store bread in the freezer. Sure, we all know this one, but remembering to do it is another thing! In this hot and humid weather, bread doesn’t last long, so get it in the freezer before you forget.
And if you do have any food waste or scraps that can’t be eaten, remember to put it in the food and organics bin (that’s the one with the green lid). It will be turned into compost to help our local farmers supply food for our region.
For more ideas on how to save money and avoid food waste, sign up to the FREE Food Smart program. For 2 weeks, you’ll get handy emails with food storage tips, recipes, hints, meal plan ideas and smart shopping solutions. If you sign up and finish the program by 31 January, you’ll also go in the draw to win a freezer worth around $750!
Sign up online to the FREE Food Smart Program at http://www.newaste.org.au/foodsmart/
The FREE Food Smart Program is open to households in the Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Tweed local government areas.
Food Smart is a Love Food Hate Waste Program coordinated by North East Waste on behalf of its member north coast Councils and the NSW Waste Less Recycle More initiative funded by the waste levy.
