St Patrick's Primary School, Tongala Phone: (03) 5859 0371 Fax: (03) 5859 0631 Email: [email protected] Strength & Kindliness St. Patrick’s will provide a child safe environment where all children have the right to be treated with respect and will be protected from harm. Principal’s Message And so we draw to the close of another term…This is the last newsletter for Term 3, 2019. I hope that these school holidays allow you an opportunity to spend time with your children and hopefully enjoy some improved weather. Thank you to all families for their support and contributions to our community over this last term. th We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 7 October for the first day of Term 4. Have a great break. Str ength & Kindliness Start searching for your Hats! A reminder to parents and students. Hats must be worn during outdoor play. This starts the first day back in Term 4. No hat, no play! Here are some tips for all of us in preparation for the warmer weather. 1. Slip on sun protective clothing 2. 2. Slop on SPF 30 or higher sunscreen 3. 3. Slap on a wide brimmed hat 4. 4. Seek shade 5. 5. Slide on some wrap-around sunglasses Swimming Program Swimming at the Shepparton Pool is always a fabulous way to finish off a busy term. The students all seem excited about the change in routine for our final week of term. Most are looking forward to their lessons, some are definitely worried about being challenged and out of their comfort zone, but we know from experience that all return back to school each day happy and exhausted. A reminder that our bus leaves at 8.50am each morning. Students need to come with their bathers under their school uniforms, ready to go in the morning and we will get changed at the pool before returning to school by 12.30pm. A big thanks to Tom Pyke and Kieran Brennan for being the male supervisors during this week. Friday Feeds will swap to Thursday Tucker Time next week as our final school day on Friday finishes up with students dismissed at 1.30pm. Important School Procedures for absences and late comers… Thank you and well done to our parents and care givers for making a big effort to contact the school if your child is absent. There has been a big improvement in this communication between home and school . W e know that the students are keen to be at school 100% of the time, or to let us know why they are away via a note, phone call, email, text or Facebook message. Their motivation is possibly because they have been learning about the connection between strong attendance and achievement and may also be fuelled by the desire to be the first class to get to the target of 100% , allowing them to be the first to enjoy the reward of hot chips with the class. Str ength & Kindliness Another important procedure is one that rests solely with the parents and caregivers. If your child is late to school, an adult is required to come to the front office and sign the student in. Students are not permitted to just come to school late on their own. They must be signed in by an adult. We thank you for your co-operation with this. It is an important way that we can keep the children safe and know where everyone is at all times. Str ength & Kindliness Thank You We are the grateful recipients of $500 sponsorship from the Moama RSL Club. We have purchased some new equipment to make Paddy’s Playgroup even better! (If that is possible?) Next term Emma will be introducing the children to activities designed to develop the motor skills of these little people. Our program will include activities that are from the Perceptual Motor Program (PMP). This is a movement-based program which helps younger students improve their eye/hand and eye/foot coordination, fitness, balance, locomotion and eye-tracking skills. Emma will be needing parents to help her with these activities! Thank You to all families for your support of the coin line fundraiser to support our local Lions Club to raise funds for Childhood Cancer. We made a coin line that totalled $257 and was in the shape of the gold ribbon that is the international awareness symbol for Childhood Cancer . Well done everyone. It is the support for little things like this that make our school so great. Str ength & Kindliness Thank you so much…. We welcomed Jenny from the Tongala and District Bendigo Bank to our assembly on Monday. Jenny presented our school with a big cheque, valued to $5000. We are using this money to add basketball rings to each end of our newly resurfaced court. We are hopeful that these basketball rings will be installed in the holidays which will make it very exciting for the students to come back to school in Term 4. We are extremely grateful to the Tongala and District Bendigo Community Bank Branch for their support. Small gathering on Friday afternoon… Is anyone coming along without their children to our catch-up in the Cill Dara at 5.30pm? FUN RUN – 0CTOBER 10 TH AT 10:00AM Thank you Shannon Ryan for organising this fundraiser for St Patrick’s. Forms will go home next week.

Four of the grade 6 girls have been picking out a poem to recite at the Kyabram Fauna Park Bush Poetry competition. Maths We are working our way through our Fast 50s to improve our times tables.

We use this money to learn about banking. Inquiry We are learning about the Amazon rainforest. We have learnt about the animals of the rainforest and the impact that deforestation is having on them. We are also researching the massive fires that are currently burning in the rainforest. Religion We just finished our unit on the Circle of Life. We made memory boxes about a special person or thing that is no longer in our life. We also wrote poems based on Ecclesiastes about a time in our life that we experienced sadness. Sport We are learning Frisbee footy. We have new Frisbees to use which is cool. It’s a team game where you need to use strategies and work as a team. We are also learning about Euro Ball which is similar to Frisbee Footy but we use a low inflation ball. PADDY’S PLAYGROUP This week we had our last Paddy's Playgroup session for term 3. As our story for the last few weeks has been the Gingerbread Man, we decorated some very yummy gingerbread people which were quickly gobbled up after a quick group photo. Thank you to all of the families who have filled our Wednesday mornings with fun and laughter. We look forward to kicking off playgroup for term 4 on Wednesday 9th October. Str ength & Kindliness F/1 Class The junior class had a great time exploring the buildings in our town for our geography unit. Tongala Street Art welcomed us and helped us learn about our town through murals and stories. Following this we used our ozobots to take a trip around our town, using coding to stop at different shops and places. Next week we are going to work on building the shops in our town using crafts.

    The District Encompasses Central Victoria and the Lower Part of Central New South Wales

    The District encompasses central Victoria and the lower part of central New South Wales. It extends north to Deniliquin, across to Holbrook, Corryong and south to Melbourne's northern suburbs from Heidelberg to Eltham in the east and Sunbury in the west. Rotary District 9790, Australia consists of 61 Clubs and approximately 1800 members. The Rotary Club of Albury is the oldest in the District, being admitted to Rotary International on 2nd November, 1927. In 1927 the District system was first introduced and Albury was in District 65, the territory being the whole of Australia. Other Clubs of our present District followed; Corowa (July) 1939 and Benalla (November) 1939, Wangaratta 1940, Euroa and Yarrawonga-Mulwala 1946, and Shepparton 1948. In 1949 District 65 became District 28, being Tasmania, part of Victoria east of longitude 144 Degrees and part of New South Wales. Deniliquin came in 1950, Wodonga 1953, Myrtleford, Cobram and Seymour 1954 and Heidelberg and Coburg 1956. In 1957 Districts were renumbered and District 28 became District 280, then came Numurkah 1957, Bright and Finley 1959, Kyabram and Preston 1960, Tatura and Broadmeadows 1962, Albury North and Nathalia 1963, Tallangatta and Mooroopna 1964, followed by Alexandra and Thomastown in 1966, Mansfield and Corryong 1967, Greenborough 1968, Reservoir 1969, Albury West 1970 and Appin Park 1972 (now Appin Park Wangaratta). On July 1, 1972 District 280 was divided into two, and the above Clubs became the new District 279. Since then the following Clubs have been admitted to Rotary International: Kilmore/Broadford (1972) (now Southern Mitchell); Sunbury, Eltham, Beechworth and Heidelberg North (1973) (now Rosanna); Shepparton South and Belvoir-Wodonga (1974); Fawkner (1975); Pascoe Vale (1976); Strathmore-Gladstone Park (1977) (now Strathmore), Albury Hume and Healesville (1977); Shepparton Central (1983); Wodonga West (1984); Tocumwal, Lavington, Craigieburn, Holbrook and Mount Beauty (1985); Jerilderie, Yea and Bellbridge Lake Hume (1986); Rutherglen, Bundoora and Nagambie (1987).

The authors, years ago, saw the importance of preserving documents and records, which would give authentic data concerning the early times of this Church. In the year 1881, the Victoria and Tasmania Conference directed them to collect such materials, and this request was repeated by the General Conference of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church. That trust has been considered a positive and sacred duty by them, and they have fulfilled it with some success, having been largely aided by numerous friends and Circuit authorities, who possessed such records. They sought also to obtain oi'al or written statements from such of the early pioneers who survive to the present time, and they are greatly indebted for such information kindly given by the Revs. W.

  • Edward M. Curr and the Tide of History

    Edward M. Curr and the Tide of History

    5. Decline and Fall In Recollections of Squatting in Victoria Edward M. Curr gives only a vague explanation for his leaving Victoria in February 1851, noting that he was ‘desirous of a change’ and wanted to travel through some of the countries ‘about which I had interested myself from boyhood’.1 There seems little doubt, however, that his father’s death three months earlier was a major catalyst in his decision; for a decade he had worked at the behest of his overbearing father, but was now free to pursue his own interests. Before he departed, arrangements were made regarding the runs he and his brothers had inherited. Richard Curr leased the southern squatting runs from his brothers and based himself at the Colbinabbin station. The northern runs (including Tongala) were let to a Mr Hodgson, although it appears that one or more of the younger Curr brothers might have assisted him with station management.2 Meanwhile, Edward, Charles and Walter departed the colony only a few months before the discovery of gold threw the pastoral industry into turmoil. Curr’s younger sister Florence recorded in a memoir that Richard established a home for his mother and younger siblings at Colbinabbin. As the closest station to Melbourne, Colbinabbin had occasionally been a winter residence for the wider Curr family. Richard’s principal challenge was maintaining his labour force, as the station was only 40 miles from the Bendigo goldfields. Eleven-year-old Florence later recalled that she had a marvellous time at Colbinabbin, blissfully unaffected by ‘the troubles of Richard in finding and still more in keeping shepherds’.3 The labour shortage is the principal reason why Richard, in consultation with his mother, decided to sell the squatting runs in 1852.

Closer to home there have been further challenges with local industries facing another prolonged dry spell. Furthermore, prior to Christmas last December an attempt was made to liberate the Bank’s ATM. While this was unsuccessful, some $45,000 damage was done to the building. Due to several delays the repairs and upgrades of the bank weren’t completed until March although they have included an automatic sliding door and a new and improved veranda. Added to this ordeal was the fact that the rear of the building needed underpinning costing around $20,000. Despite these drawbacks the bank has been able to maintain a strong position with footings of $65 million to June 30th, 2019. The Board also has $79,000 in the Community Enterprise Foundation. At this point I take my hat off to our staff who worked through these tumultuous times to continue serving our valuable customers maintaining our ongoing rapport with the community.

The work of caring for our serving and ex-serving mates continues to be relevant and needed. I am consistently impressed by the dedication and achievements of our Sub-Branches with the level of support provided to their local communities, and am proud to be associated with an organisation whose main goal and day to day objective is about helping those in need. Sub-Branches often go about this work in a quiet fashion, so we thought it important to share with Victorians how much goes on behind the scenes and the amount of resources, financial and physical, donated to the ex-serving and wider community. The following pages give you an insight into a number of the programs, donations and volunteer hours that were contributed in 2008-2009 and will demonstrate the strength of the RSL commitment to the Victorian community now, and in the future.
