I think it’s safe to say all teachers, par- ents and students learnt a lot about what it must have been like to live on the Goldfields of Ballarat during the Australian Gold Rush. Highlights of our two day trip included watching the ‘Blood on the Southern Cross’ show, witnessing gold get smelted and re-poured into gold bars, descending into the Red Hill Mine, dressing up in olden day clothes, panning for gold and witnessing children consume lol- lipops the size of their own heads! A big thanks must go to Mrs Walsh who organised the excursion and to all the parents who helped over the two days. I really appreciated all the support and sympa- thy I received from those parents and teachers who witnessed my efforts trying to fill up the school bus on Thursday night! We have a huge fortnight coming up here at Currawa PS. The Life Education Van date has been changed from this Friday to next Monday and we will attend Dookie PS for the full day. Buses will run as per normal. We have two Cluster Days next Tuesday and Thursday too. The first will be with the Shepparton Small Schools Cluster and we will watch a performance of Sleeping Beauty in the morning and compete in a range of Tabloid Sports in the afternoon. These performances have been a highlight of our Cluster Days in the past and we are all looking forward to joining our friends from Congupna, Tallygaroopna, Wunghnu, Zeerust, Dookie and Katandra West Primary Schools. The second of our Cluster Days next week will be held here at Currawa and will involve a cultural Opera Performance and sports activities with the Mokoan Cluster. We will be catering for this event and any help from parents would be much appreciated. We will have 125 students attending from the Australian Christian College, Thoona, Longwood, Broken Creek, Tungamah and Devenish Primary Schools. The week after will be a short week at school! We have a Public Holiday on June 10th and a Pupil-free Report Writing Day the next day on June 11th. Thank you to those that have completed our online Kids Matter Survey.

On the 23 of May 2013 Currawa P.S. went to Sovereign Hill. The first thing we did was find the rooms we were sleeping in. Then we went gold panning. I found one piece of gold it was 1cm long. Then we saw Blood on the Southern Cross. It was good. The next day we did the mine tour. I was I bit scared. I was in the first group. I wish I could go there again. Thanks Teachers. By Hannah Last Thursday Currawa went to Sovereign Hill. When we got there we went to the Hotel. In the room I was with Jessica, Becky, Cate, mum, Kat, Sophie and Lowanna. There were 9 beds. After that we went to the gold mine. After that we went to the lolly makers shop then we got to dress up in olden day clothes. When we finished I went to buy lollies then we went to the gold pour before going back to the Hotel and having dinner. We went to the place of the Southern Cross at night time. The next day we went out for breakfast and I went to the gold tour. Afterwards we went to the bus to go home. By Gabi Last Thursday I went to the hotel. After that I went to the candy shop. I went to the gold mine. I panned for gold. By Fletcher. Last Thursday I woke up. I got dressed had brekkie, brushed my teeth and went to school in Dad’s car. When we were at school I and the whole school went in the bus to Sovereign Hill. But some parents had to drive in their own car so it took 4 HOURS! When we were finally there we stayed in an amazing hotel then we went to a lolly shop and saw them making raspberry drops. Then we visited the education centre and got into lots of awesome cos- tumes. I was dressed up as a gentle man and we played games. When we got out in the sunshine we went to the hotel but Mr Cleary and Mrs Walsh had a problem opening the door so we went around the other way. When we got to the hotel we had an hour of play time. After that I went to blood on the southern cross and the next day we had brekkie and went back to school. My trip to sovereign hill was a REAL success. I hope I go to Sovereign hill again bye!!

  • Heritage Open Day SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER Visit Your Heritage Free Welcome to the Greater Shepparton Heritage Open Day
    Greater Shepparton’s Heritage Open Day SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER Visit your heritage free Welcome to the Greater Shepparton Heritage Open Day. This free day has been organised by the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee in conjunction with Council. It was inspired by ‘Open House Melbourne’ when hundreds of buildings (not only heritage places) are open. On the Greater Shepparton Heritage Open Day you can visit, FREE, over 40 places of heritage and historical significance in Greater Shepparton. Some have never been opened to the public before, and many are rarely on view. Other familiar places will come alive as you visit and hear their stories. Included are all the Museums and collections run by the historical societies: normally an entrance fee is charged. Greater Shepparton has an interesting history. Aboriginal peoples inhabited the area for thousands of generations. Europeans arrived in the mid nineteenth century, and developed a thriving agricultural economy, centred on the city of Shepparton, with many service towns. Subsequent settlement has gone on to welcome people from many corners of the world. This has resulted in a wealth of heritage places, a diverse and unique range of both buildings and sites. The Heritage Open Day will showcase many of these. There are three ways to visit our heritage place: • Many venues are opening their doors for visitors to attend independently • Bus tours • Walking tours Buses for the tours have been generously provided, free, by the Dyson Group. Printing of these booklets has been kindly donated by well-known local printers Prominent Group. The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District has provided a bus tour to the mosques and temple in our municipality.
