Main Roads to improve Exit 54

the Coomera Interchange. The Coomera precinct is rapidly
developing and as a result the road network in the area is facing
increasing demands.

Uniform Expectations for 2009
Next year will be the first time that both “sports” and “dress” uniform are in full use from Day 1. This year we have had excellent cooperation from families supporting our school community student uniform expectations. We anticipate the same level of support in 2009.
