CONGRATULATIONS Skipton Primary School Skipton Primary School Girls Girls Team Cricketers Win State Finals Report from Mr Tromp Winners of 2018 T20 Blast. You may recall that last year both teams made the state finals in the T20 Blast cricket, and the girls went on to become State Champions. This year the girls team also made the State Final, the boys missing out by one match. The girls had to win three games to make the final, which they did. Last Friday, the girls played Waverley Christian Girls again in the final, the same team who made the 2017 final. It was an excellent match of skills which the girls won 228 to 124, making it the second year that they have become Victorian State Champions. The day was well-attended by many other students, teachers and parents, and we had a great day. Congratulations girls, and their coaches; Miss Pollock and Mr Baker.
REMEMBERING OUR FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS 20 YEARS ON This Sunday (2 December) marks the 20-year anniversary of the Linton bushfire which claimed the lives of five CFA firefighters. CFA is honouring and remembering the loss of Matthew Armstrong, Jason Thomas, Chris Evans, Stuart Davidson and Garry Vredeveldt from Geelong West Fire Brigade. CFA Acting Chief Officer Stephanie Rotarangi said CFA will never forget the sacrifice those firefighters made while protecting the community. “CFA has come a long way since the Linton fire – our safety procedures, communication, training and equipment changed as a result of this fire. The legacy of this event continues to drive our pre-season and ongoing training,” Acting Chief Officer Rotarangi said. “If there’s one way we can honour those brave men, it’s to ensure we continue to improve the way we train our firefighters to avoid this happening again.” CFA has been running a ‘Linton staff ride’ for around five “CFA has looked after us so well since day one, throughout years, allowing its members to walk in the shoes of the the inquiry and even to this day,” Mr Thomas said. “My son firefighters that day.
