Developments at HazelwoodHealth Centre

Step Forward for Walker ParadePlan Our Park Action

Committee's (P.O.P.A.C.) requestfor the Latrobe City Council toacquire land belonging to theDepartment of Human Services sothat it can be developed as a com-munity park was put to the Council'smeeting on August 2. The land hasremained undeveloped for 40 andhas long been considered a park bythe community.

The proposal, however, wasfound to be 'inconsistent withCouncil's adopted Public OpenSpace Strategy and Playground

Strategy' and it was decided thatCouncil would not acquire the land.

An alternative motion that: Council write to the relevant

State Government Minister seekingprotection of the parcel of land inWalker Parade Churchill, for thepurpose of continuing use as a parkinto the future was put forward andcarried unanimously.

This move was seen as very pos-itive by members of P.O.P.A.C.,who will continue to work towardsthe development of the land as apark.

"While I understand that nothing

is guaranteed, I feel that we havemade a great step forward," saidP.O.P.A.C. representative, RonBunn.

“It may take a while but it willhappen. Our voices have beenheard and we feel we have the sup-port in the Council,” Mr Bunn con-cluded

Mr Bunn acknowledged theefforts of the Churchill Councillors,the Churchill & District CommunityAssociation (CDCA) and the strongsupport of Churchill residents.

Walker Parade area that P.O.P.A.C. are looking to develop as a park

Latrobe City Council has accepteda tender for reconstruction of PhilipParade, and it is anticipated that recon-struction works will commence inlate-August or early-September.

The works include:*Reconstruction of the failed road

pavement, kerb and channel and foot-paths in Philip Parade betweenBalfour Place and McDonald Way.The layout and levels of the road have

been altered to provide asafer parking precinct.

*Narrowing of the roadpavement in front of theChurchill and DistrictCommunity Hub to providesafe access for pedestrians.

*The realignment ofGeorgina Place from PhilipParade to Marina Drive toprovide a safer link betweenMonash Way and PhilipParade. A temporary link willbe provided to the currentalignment of Georgina Placeto the west of Marina Driveuntil the car park between the

shopping centres has been rearranged.*Construction of a new car park

between the Churchill and DistrictCommunity Hub and the skate park toprovide a car park and drop off areafor the Hub.

*Significant improvements tostreet lighting, landscaping, drainageand line marking.

*A separate tender will be adver-tised for the construction of the new

plaza near the town hall.The pavement at Philip Parade is in

poor condition, and the reconstructionhas been planned for some time. Thedevelopment of the Churchill TownCentre Plan and the opening of theChurchill and District CommunityHub have presented an opportunity toundertake works to improve pedestri-an safety and amenity. The works willalso improve the landscaping and pro-vide opportunities for an increase incar parking availability.

The narrowing of Philip Paradenear the Churchill and DistrictCommunity Hub will improve pedes-trian access and reduce traffic speeds,and facilitate the construction of the"town hall plaza" to the east and northof the town hall. The construction of anew drop-off and parking area near theskate park will provide a safe place forparents to drop off children at the hub.

The re-alignment of GeorginaPlace will require the removal of twoeucalypt trees to the north of the TownHall. The consultants explored a num-ber of options to try to retain the trees,

but were not able to find a solution thatmet all requirements. The trees will bereplaced with numerous street treesaround the Churchill town centre,which will improve the landscape andprovide shade.

The Philip Parade reconstructionworks will require the temporary re-routing of the bus service that current-ly stops at Marina Drive. While worksare in progress, the bus will travel viaBalfour Place to the re-aligned WestPlace near the Woolworths supermar-ket, stopping near the former nurserysite.

Walker Parade Park FutureThe Walker Parade "Plan Our Park

Action Committee" has requested thatLatrobe City Council acquire the prop-erty from the Department of HumanServices and develop the land as apublic community amenity openspace.

This matter was initially consid-ered by Council at its 2nd November2009 Ordinary Meeting held on 2November 2009 and resolved as fol-lows:

"That Council formally seek theviews of the Churchill and DistrictCommunity Association in respect ofthis proposal."

Following on from this resolution,the Churchill & District CommunityAssociation were asked to provideinput regarding the proposal. TheCDCA responded as follows:

"That Latrobe City be informedthat the Churchill and DistrictCommunity Association sees greatmerit in the proposal to establish apark and gardens on the WalkerParade site and asks Council to inves-tigate way of obtaining the land inquestion, so that it can be rezonedaccordingly".

Council resolved at its OrdinaryMeeting on 2nd August last "thatCouncil write to the relevant StateGovernment Minister seeking protec-tion of the parcel of land in WalkerParade Churchill, for the purpose ofcontinuing use as a Park into thefuture".

Northe’s NatterJuly has certainly been a busy

month, with new ideas, projects and ini-tiatives beginning and continuing with-in Churchill and District.

I had the pleasure of attending theGaskin Park Redevelopment publicmeeting where there was a great deal ofdiscussion on how the area will beenhanced, with input received fromlocal sporting and community groups.I’m certain that once the ball startsrolling, Gaskin Park will certainlybecome the destination of choice for not

only locals but visitors from outside theregion.

I also had the opportunity to visitLumen Christi this month to congratu-late the latest School Captains and ViceCaptains on their recent leadership sta-tus, I wish them the best of luck for therest of the year, and I’m sure they willrepresent Lumen Christi fantasticallywell. It’s also pleasing to see theupgrade of many schools taking placewithin Churchill. It’s important that ourstudents and teachers have adequate

facilities to learn and teach so theseupgrades are most welcome.

I’d like to take this opportunity tothank the Yinnar and DistrictCommunity Association for their gener-ous hospitality at their recent AGM.This was a great opportunity for me togain an insight into the happenings ofthe YDCA throughout the past year,note their achievements and possiblenew initiatives.

One event this month which I unfor-tunately had to miss due to Parliament

duties was the Churchill and DistrictNews Photographic CompetitionPresentation Night. I pass on my con-gratulations to all award winners, andcommend the community for theirenthusiastic involvement.

Once again a very productive monthin Churchill, it certainly is fantastic tosee so much energy and enthusiasmfrom community members, and I haveno doubt that this will continue well intothe future.

Cancer Council Victoria is urg-ing people in and around Churchillto take to the track on Saturday 13November and join what localorganisers hope will be the biggestfundraising event the town has everseen – the Cancer Council Victoria’sLatrobe Valley Relay For Life.

“Latrobe Valley Relay For Life isan overnight event where teams often or more take turns to keep abaton moving around the GaskinPark track for the duration of theevent,” said Latrobe Valley RelayFor Life Committee Member LeoBillington.

“Latrobe Valley Relay For Life isa unique opportunity to bring thecommunity together to celebratecancer survivors, remember lovedones lost and fight back against can-cer. With 349 locals being diagnosedwith cancer in Latrobe City eachyear, it’s an important event to getbehind,” Mr Billington said.

Funds raised at Relay For Lifehelp the Cancer Council provide

support services and resources forlocal cancer patients and their fami-lies. Funds also support critical can-cer research and community educa-tion programs designed to teachpeople how to reduce their risk ofdeveloping cancer.

“This is the third time theLatrobe Valley Relay For Life hasbeen held here in Churchill. The2009 event didn’t go ahead becauseof the bushfires. But in 2008, 347people walking in 18 teams raisedmore than $40,000 for cancerresearch, education and support pro-grams, which the community shouldfeel really proud of,” Mr Billingtonsaid.

“This year will see 42 Relay ForLife Events held around Victoria.Over $3.2 million will subsequentlybe distributed by the Cancer Councilof Victoria for research. Currently,there are significant research proj-ects seeking treatments for leadingcancers such as prostrate, bowel andbreast as well as the less common

cancers such as pancreas, kidney,brain and liver.

“Monash University GippslandCampus is also playing a major rolewith Sports Promotion and EventManagement Degree students help-ing to manage the 24 hour event.The students will be co-ordinatingspecialist tasks including corporatesponsorship, opening and closingceremonies, entertainment and on-site security.

“At Relay For Life, people bringtheir tents and camp overnight as acommunity. There will be free enter-tainment, games the kids can playand even spot prizes,” Mr Billingtonsaid.

Ceremonies will also be heldthroughout the event to honourlocals who have been touched bycancer.

A Christian Understanding of HealingRev Dr. Bob Brown conducted a healing service in

our parish. During the service he delivered this reflec-tion.

1. The ministry of healing was part of Jesus’ ministryin and around Galilee and other towns closer toJerusalem. The New Testament gives an account of over20 acts of healing performed by Jesus. It was also part ofthe commission Jesus gave to his twelve disciples whenhe sent them out on their first mission to villages inGalilee. When Jesus had called the twelve together, hegave them power and authority to drive out all demonsand to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach thekingdom of God and to heal the sick (Luke 9:1-2).Preaching and healing went hand in hand in the disci-ples’ ministry. And that tradition continued after Jesusdeath and resurrection in the ministry of the emergingChristian church. There are over 12 occasions of heal-ings associated with preaching mentioned in the book ofActs.

2. Apart from Mark’s account of the sending of the 12disciples on their first mission where the anointing of oilis mentioned in association with acts of healing (Mark 6:12), it’s not clear to me that the anointing with oil wasassociated with other accounts of healings in the NewTestament. Nor was the laying on of hands (or touchingan ill person or helping them to stand up) always associ-ated with acts of healing.

3. Nevertheless, in the letter of James which scholarssay was most probably written for struggling Christiancommunities outside of Palestine in the 80’s or 90’s CE,we have the most detailed account of the practice of theministry of healing in the early church (James 5:13-16).Many services of healing used by main-stream churchestoday have drawn upon this passage as a kind of man-date for services of healing with the laying of hands andanointing with blessed oil.

4. Although the way in which the ministry of healingwas practised in New Testament times is not very clear,the New Testament does provide clear guidelines for aChristian understanding of healing.

All people need healing:The Christian understanding of human beings is that

their relationship with God has been fractured and bro-ken by sin and disobedience and this relationship needsto be restored. All people need restoration to well-being,in body, mind, and spirit because all have sinned andturned away from God (Romans 3:23).

All healing is from God.We are not able to heal ourselves, and healing occurs

because of the activity of God in his creation and in ourlives and situations. The insights and skills of medicinemake use of what God has provided in his creation andin his providential care. The church gives thanks to Godfor this provision and seeks to work with the medicalprofession in using the good gifts which God has given;

but the church also believes that God has provided spe-cial resources in his act of salvation through JesusChrist, and these resources are essential for a true under-standing of the healing which God offers

Healing is God’s purpose for all people, so that theymay experience fellowship with Him, in which all bro-kenness and alienation is overcome.

Healing relates to the whole person. Sickness or ill health may be physical, mental, emo-

tional, social and spiritual, and all of these may needhealing. One aspect may be predominant in some situ-ations for example, physical sickness, social conflict,spiritual maladjustment — but healing refers to the well-being of the whole person; so a healing ministry shouldaddress matters, which cause

dis-ease in all areas of life. Disease literally means‘not at ease’. Disease is disharmony, disturbances, dys-function, derangement, or disunity of the parts of thewhole. This may include such issues as poverty, injusticeand war; the experience of drought, floods and bushfiresas these are some of the basic causes for physical, emo-tional and spiritual sickness.

Healing is more than physical cure.Often the words healing and cure appear to have the

same meaning; however a distinction can and should bemade between them. Cure refers to the removal of somedisease, or the restoring of something lacking in thebody; whereas healing has a much wider meaning, refer-ring to the wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Healingmeans the restoration of the unity of the body, mind andspirit. It is possible for people to be cured without beingtruly healed and also to be substantially healed withoutnecessarily being cured.

In The New Testament the story of the ten lepersillustrates the difference between cure and healing (Luke17:11-19). All ten were cured of their leprosy, but onlyone of them returned to give thanks. The failure of ninelepers to return to give thanks indicated to Jesus a lackwhich called into question the quality and extent of theirhealing.

In the same way, it is possible for a person to receivesurgery and excellent medical care and to be cured froma physical problem, but not to have grown in any otherway in his or her life. The person cured of a physical ill-ness may not experience healing in their deeper relation-ships with other people or with God. In the NewTestament, many instances of healing refer to the cure orhealing of a person’s physical ailment, and so physicalhealing is an essential part of the total ministry given byJesus to the church; but physical healing is only one partof the wholeness which is God’s purpose for us.

Healing is not complete in this life. We remain part of a creation marked by decay and

frustration, and our minds and bodies are witness to thisfact (Romans 8:18-25). Our bodies, minds, and spiritsneed constant nutrition, rest, and renewal to rebuild andto prevent decay. We are all subject to disability anddeath, and complete healing and health is not possible inthis mortal life. We may be able to experience “substan-tial healing” in this life, but only in the future life will wefind complete well-being of body, mind and spirit.

Healing is the concern of the church.If health and healing are God’s purpose for men and

women, then it is the task of the church to be involved inhelping to achieve this purpose. The message of thegospel is that salvation, which means both deliveranceand healing, are available in Jesus Christ, and the churchis commissioned to share this Good News.

One Woman's Work

Around 418 Latrobe residents willbe told they have cancer this year.Cancer Council Victoria is urging localsto support those affected this DaffodilDay, Friday 27 August.

Cancer Council Victoria spokesper-son Deb Stringer said cancer incidencefigures remain a concern but survivalrates continue to improve with advancesin treatment and earlier detection.

“Research has significantly con-tributed to the declining incidence ofsome cancers and the overall increase incancer survival in Victoria from 48% in1990 to over 60% at present,” MsStringer said.

“Research is essential if we are toincrease our knowledge of cancer - whyit occurs and what can be done to stopit.”

Cancer Council Victoria is the

largest, independent, non-profit providerof cancer research funds in Victoria andinvested $22.4 million in research lastyear alone.

Ms Stringer said a vital part of theresearch process includes clinical trialswith Cancer Council Victoria supporting354 cancer trials across regional andmetropolitan Victoria in 2009.

This year Daffodil Day will celebrateits 17th anniversary and Cancer CouncilVictoria hopes to raise $2 million for thefight against cancer.

All funds raised through DaffodilDay support cancer research, preventionprograms and support services for can-cer patients and their families.

A Double Challenge to Lead to GreaterEmployment Opportunities

The Bachelor of Nursing Practice andBachelor of Midwifery is a double degree thatwill attract those applicants particularly, but notnecessarily, wanting to practice in regional andrural settings. The double degree will equip grad-uates with skills and knowledge to be efficient intheir positions in rural communities, serving insmall rural hospitals like Orbost or Foster, andlarger regional and rural hospitals such wasLatrobe Regional, Sale, Bairnsdale, Warraguland Leongatha.

Why a Double Degree?Regional, rural and remote hospitals require

nursing staff that have skills to care for all typesof patients. The degree has been established inresponse to the demands of the Gippsland healthservices which said there was a need for multi-skilled nurses and midwives to meet the gap inthe workforce.

This degree will deliver those skills, turningout a graduate who is qualified as a nurse and amidwife who will work in Gippsland.

Due to the aging population, this is anemployment opportunity not to be missed, asvacancies will be numerous in coming years.

What Are The Aims Of The Course?The aims of the course are to produce a nurse

and a midwife who is a highly capable individ-

ual, able to work in both settings, in part-nership with their patients and within theinterdisciplinary team.

It is also an opportunity to experienceand value our broad and culturally diversepopulation, which includes the growingSudanese and Nigerian communities.

Entry QualificationsEntry qualifications are the same as for

other nursing courses.Commitment RequiredThis course is for committed appli-

cants. It is a full time course, whichdemands attendance and dedication overfour years in order to complete both

degrees. The double degree

requires the student to attendnot only university for theoryand simulated practice butalso over 800 clinical hoursfor the Nursing degree andover 900 hours for theBachelor of Midwifery. Onclinical placement, the stu-dent will gain the requiredclinical skills for practice aswell as participating in 40 births.

The double degree is unique anddesigned to meet the needs ofGippsland health services work-force demands and as such has only30 places.

The School of Nursing andMidwifery hopes for a diversity ofexperiences, age, and background inapplicants, and encourages bothgenders to apply.

First Indigenous AustralianThis year the double degree saw

the first Indigenous Australian student com-mence. She brings with her just like her col-leagues in the course, a wealth of life experiencesand abilities. .

Mathison Park, Churchill (Part 2)By Ken HarrisThis year there has been much more water and

I have not seen any of the crakes and rails.

Latham’s Snipe is often flushed from around the

lake, but has only appeared once this year.

The Common Bronzewing is common in the

park, especially when the Black Wattles are shed-

ding seed. The Black Wattle seed also attracts the

Gang-gang Cockatoos, often accompanied by

Galahs and Little Corellas. Five Cockatoo species

frequent the park.

The Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos are often

seen flying over, but Sulphur-crested Cockatoos

have become quite uncommon since the Corellas

arrived in the district. Four other parrots are regu-

larly seen. Eastern Rosellas are common, while

Crimson Rosellas are less so and appear only in the

re-vegetated areas.

Musk Lorikeets and Rainbow Lorikeets often

fly squealing across the sky and stay to feed when

Eucalyptus trees are in flower.

Horsefield’s Bronze-cuckoos and Pallid

Cuckoos are regular each spring, with Shining

Bronze and Fan-tailed Cuckoos making occasional

visits. Ten species of honeyeaters are found, with

the White-plumed Honeyeater being special,

because they are uncommon in the Latrobe Valley.

They seem to favour the edges of the creek and

dams.

The Olive-backed Oriole nested at least twice,

the first time in a low branch above a track. Sadly

this one failed as too many people pulled the

branch down to have a look and loosened the nest.

Reed Warblers appear each summer, but

whether they breed or not is unknown. There are no

Reeds, but they do frequent the Cumbungi.

The Golden-headed Cisticola seems to be pres-

ent in the park all the year round. Another tiny bird

that is not often seen is fairly common in the park.

The Yellow Thornbill also seems to frequent the

wet areas.

Raptors are mostly short-term visitors, but nine

different raptors have been seen in the park. It is

always special to see a Wedge-tailed Eagle gliding

overhead, but the commonest raptor in the park is

the Black-shouldered Kite and I suspect they may

even have bred in the park this year.

I rarely walk through the park without seeing at

least 20 different species. More serious birding vis-

its will usually find up to 40 or more.

Mathison Park is proving a great little spot for

bird-watching.

Hello Gardening FolksAll of our pruning should be

done by now, including roses andfruit trees. You will note that theflowering and therefore fruitingbuds are already beginning to swellon some trees, particularly apricots.

A few more weeks, and then wewill notice a marked change in theweather pattern. We will still havethe very crisp mornings, but dayswill be beautiful days with warmingup ‘growing weather’.

Also, any bare-rooted stone fruitand roses should have been plantedby now. But don’t fret if you are run-ning a little late with the bare-rootedstock, as you can plant out pottedtrees and roses at any time, providedyou take a little care with them.

The veggie garden is beginningto produce. At the weekend we har-

vested our first broccoli for the sea-son and it was delicious. My celeri-ac was coming along just lovelywhen yesterday my pet chicken“Petal”, by name, managed to findher way into the garden and prompt-ly scarified almost all of the celeriac.So a little more fencing is the ‘todayjob’!

A friend of mine has built a “TajMahal” of all woodsheds for him-self, so making his old watertankshed obsolete. With some expertisefrom him, he has turned it into themost beautiful raised garden bed forme. My new garden measures 8 ft x6 ft by just over 2ft high. It took a lotof filling.

First, we lined it with black plas-tic of a heavy gauge. Then with lay-ers of garden soil, straw with chick-en manure from the “Girls Shed”,horse manure (stable), newspaper,compost, sheep manure, we filledthe space, repeating the layers. Atthe top, we used better quality soil,and more sheep manure. We dug itover well and planted into it myfirst crop of leeks.

Rainbow beetroot and springonions have already been planted.

Thank you to my friend for amost beautiful garden.

The flower garden is a bit dull atthe moment. Spots of colour hereand there, but definitely “no riot ofcolour”. However, I can see plentyof signs of new growth.

The perennial phlox have allnew shoots and the bearded iris andaquilegia have all new leaves at

their centres. (I take the old leaveaway). I have also planted coreopsisand foxgloves, larkspur, borage (forbees) and dwarf sweet peas andRussel lupins.

Of course the camellias stillflowering are lovely and at my placenone better that ‘Wurlinga Bride’which is just covered in small whiteflowers the size of a fifty cent piece-many, many hundreds of them, andthe foliage has a very shiny surface,so much so that when not flowering

the very dark green leaves are likemirrors.

Vegies to plant are asparaguscrowns, cabbage, herbs, horseradish,onions, parsnips, peas, radish, beet-root, broccoli, brussels sprouts, car-rots, kohl rabi, lettuce, potatoes, sil-ver beet, spinach, turnips andswedes.

Flowers to plant now are lark-spur, foxgloves, pansies, and Violas,Russell Lupins, coreopsis, andstocks.

Until next monthHappy and Healthy Gardening

Churchill & District CommunityBank® Steering Committee now hastheir own website - www.churchill-communitybank.org.au

“I hope lots of people will checkout our Community Bank® cam-paigns website for detailed informa-tion then fill in a an online pledge ordownload one direct from the web-site and return it soon to RitchiesIGA , The Hub or Monash Unionshop,” explained Churchill &District Community Bank®Steering Committee ChairmanWayne Casey.

An indicative pledge is an indi-cation of the level of support youwould be prepared to give toCommunity Bank® branch when itcomes to raising share capital toform a local Company who wouldrun the local branch. The pledgeform will also ask for an indicationof whether you would be prepared tobank with your local CommunityBank® branch. Pledges of support

are not binding.The aim of this process is to

determine the level of communitybuy-in. It is ideal to have as manypeople as possible from your com-pany to indicate not only an interestin becoming a shareholder, but alsoin banking with a CommunityBank® branch.

“Over $260,000 has beenpledged so we are nearing thehalfway mark” said Mr Casey.

“With the ability to access infor-mation and pledge forms from theweb, we expect lots more pledges toquickly roll in

“Let’s keep the momentum andquickly wrap up this stage of theproject.”

Once the local committee hasdetermined strong community inter-est and buy-in, the local committeewill appoint an independent consult-ant to undertake a feasibility study.Individuals, traders and businesspeople will be asked to complete a

confidential survey form, askingwhat level of banking business theywould be prepared to bring across toa Churchill & District CommunityBank® Branch.

This survey is strictly confiden-tial to the consultants.

“In the meantime you can dosomething concrete for your com-munity,” Mr Casey said.

“Yes, your current banking canbenefit the whole community.

“Moving your banking toBendigo Bank to support theChurchill & District campaign iseasy. You just need to visit yourlocal Bendigo Bank branch andquote reference number 72084 toensure you will help make theChurchill & District CommunityBank® Branch a reality.”

“I would like Churchill to catchup with Drouin which has the samepopulation, a big nearby town whohas contributed over $496,000 sincethey opened their doors.”

“These include medication, oldor damaged heating andcooking appliances, livingalone, together with frailtyand balance problems.”

Steve also said that isvital for older Victorians towork together with carers,relatives,

neighbours and friendsto minimise the risk of firein the home.

The CFA, MFB andESV recommend the fol-lowing checklist for olderVictorians to avoid a housefire this winter:

never leave cookingunattended

Gambler’s Help Gippsland isconcerned that recent power billsmay prompt people to gamble ratherthan seek other means to payaccounts.

Many Gippsland residents willnow be receiving their mid-winterpower bills and may be taken abackby increased totals.

“Some people may not have bud-geted for such an increase and maythink a big win will solve their prob-lems,” said Gambler’s HelpGippsland spokesperson Anne-Maree Kaser, Executive DirectorCommunity Support with LatrobeCommunity Health Service.

“Many gamblers falsely believethat to win at gambling is only amatter of time.

“They gamble with the thoughtof winning to cover their bills.Unfortunately, they just get furtherin to debt,” said Ms Kaser.

“It is best to seek help from theutility company itself if you arestruggling to pay bills. Consumerscan also go to their local financialcounselling agency, which is a freeservice.”

Gambler’s Help Gippslandwould like the public to realise thatwinning at gambling is pure chance- whatever the form of gambling -

and the odds of winning are so highthat people mostly pay more forgambling than is received.

” That is why Gambler’s Helphas problem gambling financialcounsellors as well as counsellors tosee clients.

“Our strong message to the com-munity is that gambling is only forentertainment – not gain,” said MsKaser.

Gambler’s Help is a free confi-dential non-judgmental service thatcan be accessed throughout thewhole of Gippsland by contactingLatrobe Community Health Service,telephone 1800 242 696.

...through the eyes of local residents

Yinnar Country Women’s Association (CWA)The BeginningThe Yinnar CWA group was formed in

September 1939 and celebrated their 70thAnniversary in 2009. This is the last in aseries that we began last year about their his-tory written by Ruth Place.

Iris Farley (Continued from July 2010 edition)CWA is the only organization in which Iris

has membership. She felt she should do somecommunity work and CWA fulfilled that aim forher. CWA raises lots of money for other commu-nity organisations and so Iris is doing her bit tohelp the local area.

She believes that CWA does not promoteitself enough. People think CWA members docraft and cooking and do not know about the restof their activities, and how supportive they are ofthe community. The only publicity she knowsabout is when State Conference is on and thatgets a little share of the news. Some reports fromthe conference are reported in the Weekly Times,which is traditionally a farmer's newspaper.

Iris firmly believes that CWA could do moreto promote itself in a respectful way.

Lansell Road property in Toorak is the CWAaccommodation place for CWA members visitingMelbourne. Iris believes that branches shouldcontinue their support of the facility as an impor-tant asset of CWA.

For Iris, CWA has been a chance to make lotsof new friends. She lived in Yinnar in heryounger days and near Churchill for many moreyears. She and her family have been farming peo-ple all their lives.

Iris is the Market Stall Co-Ordinator. HerMother had the role for years, and when she diedIris automatically took over until the next AGM,when she was officially elected to the position.The market stall goods are made up of craftwork,provisions, cooking and produce from gardens.Members take something for the market stall and

the money taken should be able to pay the annu-al membership subscriptions. This howeverincludes the subscription for the magazine.

The monthly magazine, Country Woman, hasmany interesting articles about what is happeningat headquarters events, other branch's activitieslike birthday celebrations and functions etc.International Day is the culmination of the studyof a particular smaller member country ofACWW (Associated Country Women of theWorld). In 2008 they studied Samoa. They learntabout the food, cooking styles, customs, dress,government etc. This helps the ladies to under-stand how other women of the world live.

Iris says they still send sewing aids and dressmaking material to PNG, and other island coun-tries. Since the Chernobyl disaster, the ladieshave been annually sending parcels of hand-knit-ted goods, and clothing to the people there.

Sometimes Catholic Nuns will write to theCWA explaining their needs and CWA brancheswill get together to contribute to supply thegoods.

Beryl SoutarBeryl's association with CWA goes back to

her school days. She attended Mirboo East StateSchool, which was held in the Super or AntiRoom of the Mirboo East Hall.

Her mother was a member of the CWA there,and their meetings were held in the hall.

The CWA invited the children and teachers infor afternoon tea, and to hear any relevant speak-ers. If there was a big day such as a Song inCostume or Conference, the children would notbe allowed in. The CWA ladies were all mothersof the children at the school so it was a very cosyfamily type association.

After her Mother died, Beryl went toMelbourne for extra schooling then came back tothe farm. At age twelve, in 1946, Beryl joinedCWA there. She explained that it was the only

social activity in the district at that stage. Shestayed a member until 1952 when she left thefarm and went back to Melbourne.

Returning to this district in 1975, she rejoinedCWA at Yinnar. Beryl has been recognized forher many years of service. The certificate shereceived in 1999 was for 27 years, which nowamounts to 37 years. She was Secretary for 9years, and Group President for 1999 -2000. Berylhas held all offices at one stage or another. In thattime she was Group President and was the insti-gator of the formation of the Latrobe CentralGippsland Group. There were fewer members inYinnar branch, and the other Group's presidenthad resigned with no replacement forthcoming.Algamation was a way to continue. In those twoyears, Beryl says that her involvement was a bigeye-opener as she got to know those in the high-er executive positions of CWA.

Beryl has found that CWA for her has been asource of companionship. Many friendships havebeen made all over Victoria, with those higher upin the organization as well as with ordinary mem-bers through State Conferences.

The Song in Costume Festival entries, locallyin the Branch, Group and State levels were allenjoyed. Beryl says she had lots of fun travelingaround doing the items at the various venues

Instead of Song in Costume, the ladies nowhave a Fun Day with items at the Group level.These are still much enjoyed and are anticipatedeagerly.

Items at Annual Meetings are no longer partof the program.

Beryl says she has had lots of fun being inCWA. She loves the craft especially knitting,sewing and her favourite - fancy work.Unfortunately, her hands are not as good as theywere, and she finds it hard to do. Previouslythough, she had won several prizes for herefforts. Preserves and jams are still made.

Yinnar CWA has always been there to con-tribute to things happening in the district. Theyhave catered for cattle sales, and still cater forweddings. They have always supported manygroups in the past and still support the Red Cross,Helimed, Hazelwood House, Centenary Houseand the Gippsland Cancer Care Centre. They didhelp with Meals on Wheels.

Beryl says a lot of people, especially theyoung ones, think that CWA is just tea andscones. CWA has lots of components includingscholarships, public speaking, debating and thelearning of many skills.

CWA is governed by many protocols includ-ing taking of minutes, acting on correspondence,having a treasurer's report and ensuring confer-ence delegates give a thorough report of theirattendance at conferences.

Beryl describes Yinnar CWA ladies as a goodmixture of happy people joining together inevents for the benefit of themselves and others.

Beryl is most appreciative of the fact that herhusband was/is always supportive of her involve-ment with CWA. For women it is a chance to getout of the house; a break from the four walls.

Beryl has received much from being in CWA,and cannot speak highly enough of it.

Win MorrisonWin joined CWA in 1984. Win's daughter did

ballet and Win made the costumes for the BalletSchool for fifteen and a half years. She said shewould not join CWA until she was forty, butwhen ballet finished she was thirty-five. Her hus-band joined bowls and suggested she join too.Bowls was not for Win, so she finally joinedCWA.

She says Yinnar CWA is made up of a lovely

group of friendly ladies.Win has enjoyed participating in H. & H. I.

events, catering for Group Conferences, andSong in Costume at other branches on Sundays.It is lots of fun, she enthuses.

Win says that many of the older membershave moved away to hostels etc or have died, andyounger people are not coming into CWA.

In the early days of Yinnar, there was nothingelse for ladies, except church and dances. CWAwas the ladies' own thing. Nowadays, there are somany things for people in which to be involvedsuch as computers, bowls, croquet etc. it is not sopopular.

In some ways, speaking personally, Winthinks CWA may have run its course. She feelsthat they are operating to keep Melbourne, espe-cially Lansell Road accommodation, afloat. Winwould rather be working for another local chari-ty with money raised going locally. At presentWin is hanging in there with a nice group ofladies. However, she can see that twenty yearswill see its demise as age catches up.

Win sums up by saying that CWA is not whatit used to be and is not needed as it was before.In some ways, it would be better to disband andjoin a group of choice. Also many people want tojoin a group but don't want to do anything for thegroup.

Despite these reservations and forecasts, Winhas enjoyed her involvement, having lots of funand laughter.

Annie PerryAnnie joined CWA twenty years ago. She was

on a farm and wanted something to do and thecompany of other ladies. Just hanging aroundwas not her idea of life.

Annie has done lots with her CWA friendsincluding catering for lunches at clearing sales,wakes following funerals, raising money forCentenary House, Latrobe Regional HospitalCancer Ward and Red Cross.

Each month at the meeting they all contributea $1 coin. This is added up and a donation givento the Salvos at the end of the year.

Participating in lots of different items with 1-2 or 4-5 people has been a great source of enjoy-ment. Being with her CWA friends is also a high-light. They meet about 11am each meeting dayand do craft, needlework, make scrapbooks forthe nursing homes from old calendars and cards,and flowers.

Recently they attended Christmas in July cel-ebration with the CWA at Traralgon South. Therewere 150 people there. Callignee CWA ladiescatered for the occasion.

Annie says she 'had a ball' just sitting aroundtalking, doing quizzes and other activities. Eachperson received a ticket for the door prize. It wasbeautiful quilt.

Annie says the Yinnar CWA ladies all get onwell together. They bring things to the marketstall to sell to each other. They still use a pointssystem. The winner gets a pot plant in a decorat-ed pot.

Annie has not had the experience of going toa conference, but says the delegates always givea thorough report on return.

Annie enjoys the magazine. In fact, she is theMagazine Secretary, responsible for ensuring allthe members receive their monthly copy.

For birthdays the ladies give a birthday cardand a hanky, instead of the previous floral sprays.

Annie thinks the future of CWA lies withMelbourne where younger people are beingattracted to the organisation. This what Yinnarneeds also - some younger people to help keep itgoing. CWA Member Iris Farley


LookingBack...A C h u r c h i l l & D i s t r i c t N e w s H i s t o r y S e r i e s

...through the eyes of local residents

CWA has provided companionship andfriendship.Yinnar has 13-14 members, with threenew ones joining in 2008. Annie says if theycannot come to the meeting, they donate some-thing like some cooking. Annie is glad shejoined.

Sue BrounsSue has been a member for many years,

excluding the time she worked in the milk barwith her husband. When her husband died in2000, she returned to the CWA. She finds that itprovides good company, and a day out for a goodget-together. She enjoys the meetings and thefriendship. Sadly, she expresses the concern thatmembership is dwindling and the younger gener-ation are not interested, nor have the time. Shefeels it may not be long before the branch closes.Sue is a keen gardener and has done craft work inthe past.

Cheryl OsborneCheryl has been a member, off and on, for

about 10 years, having started her membership inToongabbie. Cheryl commented on the changesthat have taken place in CWA over the years, par-ticularly with regard to monies having to go toMelbourne. The branch used to have more say inhow the money raised was distributed. This is adisappointment to Cheryl as she says this turnspeople off from joining. Members, she feelswould like to have the opportunity to supportlocal groups- elderly, youth etc.

Yinnar is a little branch and Cheryl hopes itcan keep going. We need more members andthose willing to take office, she says. Someyounger people with new ideas would be goodtoo.

For Cheryl the friendship is something sheloves. But participating in the drama action isalso enjoyable.Cheryl is Points Secretary, whichmeans keeping track of attendance, competitionwinners etc.

Needlework, crochet and knitting are allloved, especially when at Toongabbie where shewas very active. She was recognized at grouplevel for her entries.

At Yinnar the ladies show what they havedone but running classes for others to have a godoesn't happen as much. Cooking is not a greatinterest for Cheryl, but she does like to try otherpeople's recipes, especially the old ones.

Cheryl lives on a deer farm and lost $70,000worth of fencing and three deer in the JanuaryBushfires. It was an horrific time she says, butthankfully their house was saved.

Cheryl is very grateful to the Yinnar CWAbranch for a donation of money, which helpedwith the restoration of the boundary fences.

fast and becoming too busy and noisy for her.Having always loved Gippsland with its greenhills and trees, and because she has a daughterliving near Yinnar, Joan chose to come and livein Yinnar three and a half years ago. Being a cityperson, but also knowing that CWA was alwaysknown as a good organisation, Joan joinedYinnar branch to meet people and make newfriends. This has happened and Joan feels happybeing a member.

She has been involved with some cateringevents like the Bike Ride and a Clearance Sale.She has also attended some of the fund-raisingefforts.

Joan loves cooking, doing all her own cook-ing. If pressed she will admit that her pumpkinscones are special. She has decided to try some ofthe old recipes and spends time racking herbrains for them.

Her children all loved her cooking she con-fesses and even when they left home she was

sure they knew when she had baked as theywould invariably turn up just in time to demolishthe goodies. Thus there never any left to enterinto competitions.

As her eyesight is not as good as it used to be,a lot of craft work is now not done.

Joan says Yinnar CWA has been good for herand she hopes that although the members areaging and the group is small, it will continue.

Michele CarpenterMichele was in CWA for a couple of years in

recent times and then dropped out. However, shehas since rejoined Yinnar CWA.

Michele says the socialization is pleasant andthe CWA is a way to develop awareness of other'sability, and to extend your own ideas. It is like afamily sharing ideas on craft.

This year Michele attended State Conferencein Shepparton and found it very enlightening,with a full on program. To get there they went ona bus trip with a convener calling at severalplaces to pick up other CWA members. Along theway, they stopped and within minutes the urnwas on for a cuppa with slices and date loaf tonibble.

One of the highlights of State Conference wasthe ecumenical service where the plates werepassed around the 1,000 people and a total of$2,500 was raised for a chaplain at a localCatholic school.

For Michele, she sees CWA as a way todevelop self-confidence and self-expression. It isan opportunity to get out and make new friends."The educational discussions on each month'sagenda are stimulating," comments Michele. Sheenjoys preparing for the monthly meeting themeby finding items at home to supplement thewhole effect, for example people dressing up forthe theme, which adds colour and interest. "Themore you put in the more you get out of it," sheadds.

Michele believes that CWA needs to modern-ize to attract today's generation, by for exampledownloading materials from the internet. She isappreciative of, and acknowledges the traditionsof CWA, but feels they need a marriage of the oldand new to survive, to make it more appealing toyounger people and for 21st century living.

However, Michele says she has met somevery good folks and has made friends. She looksforward to the meetings and likes to think abouthow she will prepare herself. She also enjoys par-ticipation in the two competitions held eachmeeting, one of which is the continuing bestbloom in the garden. This competition oftenstimulates conversations about plants and nature.

Part of the traditions which remain are thedisplay and saying of the Collect, and the pres-ence of a photo of the Queen. The Motto is stillsaid at the end.

Evelyn LittlejohnEvelyn is the newest member of Yinnar CWA,

but not new to CWA, having been a member atMirboo and Nathalia - a total of 39 years. Evelynreturned to this area two years ago. She loves tobe a 'hands on' worker, and spent many weeksworking with the Salvos at the Cross's Roadcomplex after the bushfires. She says it was priv-ilege, and very rewarding work.

Evelyn has taken on the task ofCommunication Liaison Officer for the branchwith their sister branch at Tooboorac in theWestern District. This entails writing a quarterlynewsletter. Other sister branches are able to catchup for social occasions, but because of the dis-tance apart, members of Yinnar and Toobooracusually only catch up at State Conferences.

Evelyn started helping with catering at theMelbourne Show last year, and plans to give sev-eral days voluntary work this coming September.She is enthusiastic in her praise for the small pla-

toon of women who work like clockwork in thesmall compact kitchen. Catering starts after a4:30am rise, with breakfast served from 7am forthe folks from the cattle and other animal pavil-ions. Then the day crews arrive and work hard,many soldiering on, not wishing to desert theirpost, even though their average age is between60-80 years. They are on their feet all day.Evelyn encourages show visitors to drop in for

some

famous CWA fruit cake and ask to see the kitchenand what goes on. Over the years Evelyn hascontributed to H.& H. I. exhibitions.

At present she is involved as a volunteer anda participant in the production of a quilt withideas contributed by those affected in the bush-fires in the Delburn Complex Fires. She says it isa wonderful experience.

C & D Celebrity ChefHere are two quick and easy Chinese recipes to cook at home. They come from ‘Cooking the Chinese Way’, a

much used book that I bought in London in 1962. The author and celebrity chef is Nina Froud who spent much timein China. Her recipes all come from authentic sources and all are suitable to cook in a Western kitchen.

With the start of a new financial year,Berry Street and ANZ are encouragingLatrobe Valley residents to spring cleantheir finances and boost their savings

“The new financial year is a perfecttime to get your finances in order. Thiscould involve organising your tax return,setting financial goals or working outhow to save on electricity and utilitiesbills”, said Rick Pemberton, local SaverPlus worker from Berry Street.

One way local residents can learnabout their finances and boost their sav-ings is to join the Saver Plus program,delivered by Berry Street and ANZ in theLatrobe Valley

Saver Plus is a financial education andmatched savings program, assisting peo-ple to save for their own or their chil-dren’s education. The program encour-ages participants to save small amountsof money throughout the year using sim-ple budgeting and planning techniques.ANZ rewards participants’ efforts bymatching every dollar they save withanother dollar, up to $500.

“Saver Plus assists people to strength-en their financial skills and build a sav-ings habit for the future. Often it is smallchanges, such as setting a weekly budgetor looking for spending leaks, that canmake a big difference over time” saidHelen Holt, ANZ Morwell BranchManager.

Saver Plus has been running inGippsland since 2007 and is now offering

assistance to an additional 120 locals tosave for their own or their children’s edu-cation. Saver Plus is open to people whohave education related costs, have ahealth care or pensioner concession card,and some regular income from employ-ment. Places are still available to localresidents to build a positive savings habitfor the future.

Leanne recently began Saver Plus andsaid that the tips she has picked up havebeen invaluable.

“I thought I was fairly financiallysavvy, but now after attending the moneyminded sessions, I have become aware ofthe little areas that are overlooked, andthe way I am spending my money is notthe best way, as there are a few leaks. Ihave now gained a better picture of myfinancial budget.” she said.

Saver Plus was developed byBrotherhood of St Laurence and ANZand is delivered in partnership withBerry Street, The Smith Family, TheBenevolent Society, and other local com-munity agencies. The program is fundedby ANZ and the Australian GovernmentDepartment of Families, Housing,Community Services and IndigenousAffairs, with ANZ providing matchedsavings for participants.

Kurnai COllege Churchill Campus

Nicole Pryor and Josh Garth attendedthe iEARN Conference in Barrie Canadaover the holiday period. The theme was"Catch the Dream". It was attended byover 400 people- students and staff- from40 different countries.

During the very full program, Nicoleand Josh attended workshops and plena-ry sessions about global projects runningaround the world.

iEARN uses Forums, WIKI, Skypeand on-line conferences to allow stu-dents to communicate with each otherregarding their projects, and to shareinformation gained through theirresearch, and studies.

Nicole and Josh enthusiasticallyreported that the conference was "invig-orating and an amazing opportunity tomeet so many people passionate aboutstudent education."

"We had an overwhelming responseto our presentation," added Nicole. "Wewere told that our school was an inspira-tion. So many people now work withKurnai using the practices established,and to use the assessment practices andoverall Year 7 program organization."

Part of the special program was to lis-ten to and question great educators likeStephen Heppell of the UK, who hashelped countries set up whole educationsystems, including brand new schools,for 21st century learning.

iEARN is not structured to a yearlevel, but to individual learning develop-ment and needs. Kids can learn morenow with access to greater resources,systems and technology, and being giventhe opportunity to succeed by being chal-

lenged.The Year 7s will now be involved in

three more projects.1. Early people symbols- a study

of indigenous culture. This informationwill be shared with students who will inturn share knowledge on theCanadian/American tribes. This informa-tion will be shared through on-lineforums.

2. The solar cooker project willcontinue but with a new group of stu-dents, implementing improved modifica-tions, following assessment and evalua-tion.

3. Inventors without borders.Looking at a creativity project withthem. In semester 1 2011 the Year 7s willhave the opportunity to do a 'My Hero"project.

While they were in Canada they did a40 minute Skype video conference withthe Year 7s back here at Kurnai, tellingthem what was happening, and allowingthe students to ask questions about theculture and the people they had met.

Nicole says the students asked her toput on a Canadian accent. In 2011, theconference will be in Taiwan and theyhope to take five students to the confer-ence with them, to be involved and expe-rience the different cultures around andto share their projects with other atten-dees. There will be a Youth Summitwhich will allow students to talk on aglobal scale about issues and which willempower them to act now in their com-munities.

Sponsors are being sought. If you canhelp please see Nicole of Josh.

Eleven students and three teachersfrom Xian Hi Tech International Schoolarrived in Australia on Thursday 29 July,and came to Kurnai. They returned toChina on Sunday 8 August.

The reason they came is so that theycan have experience of the Australianway of life and culture. The visit willstrengthen the ties between with Chinesecontact schools, encouraging Chinesestudents to come to Kurnai College.

During their visit, they were billetedwith home stay families who are mostly

the families of the Kurnai students goingto China later this year.

Theses Kurnai students played anactive role in making the Chinese stu-dents feel at home, welcome and com-fortable. They also accompanied them onlots of their daily program activitiesdesigned for their stay.

Every afternoon they went out of acultural experience including a visit toTarra-Bulga Park, Morwell NationalPark, Phillip Island, and footy at theMCG.

Crystal grew up in Morwell and was educated atCrinigan Road Primary School, then Kurani College.

Crystal has been appointed as a Trainee KooriEducator for four days a week at Morwell Campus andone day a week at Churchill. Her task is to sit in class-rooms with Koori students and encourage them to dotheir best, persevere to complete their education andensure more they are trained for the workforce, skillingthem up so they can successfully compete for the jobs.

Crystal has also become involved with the DedleeKultja Dancing group. This is run by Uncle WayneThorpe and is attended by 27 Indigenous students overthe Kurnai, TAFE and Koori Pathways campuses.

The aim of the dancing group is to learn leadershipskills, traditional Aboriginal dances about theDreamtime stories, and the more about Aboriginal cul-ture.

Crystal says that working with the Koori studentshas been challenging but very rewarding, particularlyfor Crystal who has eagerly sought to establish relation-

ships with the Koori community through home visits,and learn more about her community. She says theKoori community has been very supportive and eager tohave their children go to school and succeed.

Kurnai welcomes Crystal as another important partof their policy to make the school more Koori friendly.

Emma Sears is the new school nurse. She was bornin the Stratford area, growing up on a sheep farm. Sheattended Stratford Primary School then MaffraSecondary College.

After finishing her schooling, Emma worked in thegap year for Gippsland Grammar School doing outdooreducation. She was involved in running school campsfor Years 7-9 students with activities including hiking,rafting, rock climbing, caving and surfing.Enthusiastically she declares that she loved that year, somuch so that she decided to be a teacher. She began hercourse at Monash then swapped to Nursing.

Since finishing her training, Emma has worked atLatrobe Regional Hospital, Sale Central GippslandHealth Services, also participating in CommunityNursing and Undergraduate teaching at Sale on campus.

Emma sees her position at Kurnai as a combinationof education and health aspects for the development ofyoung people. This she says will be a challenging expe-rience, but with lots of rewards teaching all students thatthere are healthier options by which to live their lives;there are supports if they need them; that they are notalone in community.

An adventurous group of students ranging from Year9-11 from all three campuses of Kurnai College, partic-ipated in a week long Ski Camp at Mt. Hotham from 19-23 July.

Amazingly bright blue skies, lots of snow, excellentfood and lodgings, and of course snowboarding and ski-ing, were enjoyed by all the enthusiastic students.

All students undertook group lessons with instruc-tors throughout the morning and by the week's end, all

could boast completed runs, looking very polished andprofessional.

A welcome spa and sauna at the end of each dayhelped to soothe and ease the sore bottoms and legs.

Many thanks go to the Candy Bennett and the staffwho organized the camp and joined in and helpedthroughout the week.

Ski Camp

An elective class of Year 9s hasdesigned five sets of seats andtables combinations, which havebeen strategically placed around theschool yard to encourage communi-ty gathering.

The students researched thestyles and types of timber, which

would be most suitable and chosecypress for its hardwearing, durablequalities.

Teacher Ben Swift purchasedthe required timber and supervisedgroups of 3-5 students who madethe table sets.

This project saved the school

many dollars and provided the stu-dents with valuable learning oppor-tunities of life skills. The projecthas sparked an interest in some ofthe students who wish to continuewith an advanced woodwork class.

So get out your art folder and enjoy the fantasticworld of creativity.

Churchill North Primary ICT Games BY Cameron F Grade 3Mr Thomas is the teacher of I.C.T at C.N.P.S, he is

a great teacher. I.C.T goes for an hour. All the classes have I.C.T once a week. I.C.T is

awesome because of all the fun games. As the gradesget higher the games get harder (e.g. grade prep plays

learning in toyland and grade five six play Carmen SanDiego). The learning depends on the game (e.g. thegame '2 create A Story' teaches students to type).

By Emily L Grade 4On Thursday 24 June, Churchill North Primary

School students competed in the Yinnar and Districtschool soccer which was held in Traralgon.

Before we left school we put on our soccer tops,shorts, shin pads and boots. We had a boys and a girl'steam with many players that had never played beforebut willing to "Have a Go".

On the bus and here we go…..When we arrived wefound a place to put our bags. All teams were calledtogether and explained how the day was going to run.With plenty of excitement in the air we were ready forour first game.

The boys were lucky to have 14 players, whereas thegirls only had 11. For those who don't know, you have11 players while playing. So the girls only got to restwhen their team wasn't playing.

The girls won 3 games and lost 1 when they playedLumen Christi. They beat us 1-0, which was a disap-pointment. Overall the boys came fourth out of sixteams and the girls came second out of five teams.

Thank you to our coaches on the day MaryanneLugton and Adrain Huizer. It does not matter whetheryou win or lose on the day as long as we tried our bestand had fun. That's all you can do.

Rhianne and Bridie respondedto the scenario - You think one ofyour classmates doesn't like you.They provided the following helpfulthinking tips: Go up to them and talkto find out what they really thinkand if what they say is mean, thenthink that they are not nice peopleand that you could have betterfriends than them.

Short-listed Books:The students are currently

exploring the books shortlisted inthis year's book of the year competi-

tion. Lydia Reiske of grade 3/4 pro-vided this review: Title- The Plop;Author- Ursula Dubosarsky,Illustrator - Andrew Joyner. Plot: Allthe animals are scared of the Plopand the bear is too. I liked every-thing about this book and rate it 9out of 10. Samuel Birkbeckreviewed the same book and found itfunny because the Bear was toughand then turned weak.

He liked how all the animals ranwith the rabbits and rated it 8 out of10. Ella O'Kane reviewed "TheWrong Book" written and illustratedby Nick Bland. She says it is abouta little boy who tries to tell us whatthe book is about but all differentcharacters interrupt him while he isspeaking. Ella found it funny theway the fictional characters wouldmess up what he was doing but it didget a bit boring when he kept on say-ing the same thing over and overagain. Ella gave it 8 out of 10.

Leah Barnett reviewed the samebook and liked the way every timethe boy tried to tell what the bookwas about it wasn't right. Leahthought it was funny how he gotsquashed by "The End" and ratedthe book 9 out of 10. It's definitelygoing to be very hard to choose our

favourite book in this competition!Congratulations Kayla!

We were all thrilled when Ms Larradspent a day with us recently. Despitebeing on Family Leave Ms Larrad has

A Special Visitor

Our senior students travelled toMelbourne by train with Thorpdaleand Narracan Primary School grade5/6s to undertake an action packed3-day exploration. Amongst otherthings, they got to visit theMelbourne Aquatic Centre, theShrine, Parliament House, theImmigration Museum, the MCG,Scienceworks and took a cruise onthe Yarra. No wonder they returnedtotally exhausted.

We were delighted that our stu-dents excellent behaviour was com-mended by many during this ven-ture. We are very grateful to 5/6teacher Ms Liz Tingay and parentsCol Brick and Kate Reiske for

accompanying them!

Report:Parent Col Brick provided the

following message:- Firstly, I thinkthe school, and the parents, shouldbe very proud of the behaviour ofthe kids. They were extremely wellbehaved. (Noisy but good). That isnot just my observation; I also hadquite a bit of positive feedback frompeople working in the places we vis-ited, and even on the trams andtrains. We tend to take the goodbehaviour of our kids for granted abit but we should ensure we doappreciate it.

Liz and the other teachers did agreat job organising things. I tried to

do my bit, but it seemed pretty mea-gre compared to their efforts. Welldone, and thank you to them all. Itwas an excellent program, perhapsover-packed. It would have takensome of the pressure off if there hadbeen one less thing some days, andsome of the items could have beenfor a longer period. But I certainlysaw things I hadn't seen before, andthoroughly enjoyed myself, and thekids seemed to really enjoy thewhole thing.

Finally, thanks to the school forgiving me the opportunity to go andto Liz for the lovely cake, and the 5-6 grade for the lovely card and com-ments.

Grade 5/6 Urban Camp and Report

We will enter a team of four students in a Scrabble tourna-ment in Trafalgar, set for early August.

Boolarra Red-light RideWe are very grateful to the organizers, the Boolarra CFA

and all the volunteers who worked to make the Red-lightmotorbike ride recently staged in Boolarra such a success.

The school received a mimeoboard (portable interactivewhiteboard) purchased with some of the funds raised on thisday.

Scrabble Tournament and Boolarra Red-light Ride

Boolarra Open GardensOne of our parents, Michelle

Hassett, has kindly offered to againcoordinate our participation in this eventin November. Michelle would appreci-ate it if folk could donate potted plants,seedlings and cuttings for us to sell at theschool on the day. For more informa-tion, contact Michelle on 51696512.

Bike Ed ProgramOur intensive Bicycle Education &

Road Safety program commences inAugust. We undertake this instead of aswimming program as we feel theBoolarra roads pose a more significantrisk to our students. Our efforts in thisregard have been recognised with ourschool repeatedly winning the LatrobeValley Bike Ed Challenge.

Students from Yinnar South Primaryschool have been counting down our 100days of school.

We started preparing for the day bymaking glasses in the shape of 100.

They were covered in feathers,sparkles and bibs and bobs (Dame Ednawould be very jealous).

Then we made crowns again, deco-rated with feathers and sparkles andsums to equal 100. On Thursday we icedbiscuits and covered them with 100's and1000's as well as fairy bread. We alsowatched 101 Dalmatians.

What a day : We are now lookingforward to our next 100 days of school!
