HOLBROOK HAPPENINGS
Issue 369 28 August 2019
‘DON’T DROP THE BALL ON HEALTH’ COMMUNITY GET-TOGETHER SUNDAY 18 TH AUGUST On Sunday 18 th August at exactly 2pm, a crazy idea conceived over several cups of coffee came to frui on. 600 tennis balls were tossed from a helicopter onto a football field, a community was brought together to raise awareness of not dropping the ball on health and in the process, over $60,000 was raised for charity. In excess of 500 people a ended the community get- together held at The Holbrook Spor ng Complex. There were delicious roast rolls from locally grown and butchered lamb and beef, fairy floss, giant games, lolly jar guessing, netball shoo ng and football kicking compe ons.
The Fight MND Holbrook Big Freeze was certainly a spectacle, with liquid nitrogen adding to the theatrics of those heading down the slide into 1°C water, containing 400kgs of ice. Then the much an cipated helicopter came in from the South West, did a couple of donuts around the oval and dropped every last ball before doing another lap or two and heading off into the distance, leaving the judges to discover the winners. A er which the auc on kicked off and it did not disappoint, with so many generously donated quality auc on items and keen bidders in the spirit of benefi ng a worthy cause (or four). The organising commi ee have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support received by the Holbrook and District Community and by the amount of money raised for their chosen chari es Research4Riney, Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund, Bowel Cancer Australia and FightMND. There are so many people that made this day amazing and it would be impossible to name them all without missing someone. The Holbrook and District community should be extremely proud and give themselves a pat on the back for making this day such a success! From those who donated goods and services, to those who purchased balls and those bidding on auc on items, to those who just turned up on the day and were a part of this stunning community get-together. Ball Drop Prize Winners: First Prize, closest to the pin went to Kate Heijse, 2 nd to Ma Ralph and 3 rd to James Capell. Consola on prizes going to Tom Davies, Simone Russell, Cathy Jones, Charlie Papworth, Joanne Siedle, Cath Mann, Richard Locke, Richard Jenkyn, Antonia Grunow & Joan Parker.

Children’s Book Week As all parents sigh with relief ll next year’s scramble for Book Week costumes, Library staff are reflec ng on a happily busy week. We had a school visit or story me every day last week and we hope that all the children who came to visit enjoyed their experience. Not one of the book week tles, but one of the favourites this week, was The Koala Who Could! This is a story about a li le koala who was too scared to come down out of his tree but when forced to the ground is met with such love that he is no longer scared. The children learnt some new facts about koalas’ secret powers and made a very cute koala hand puppet. The library was also buzzing on Thursday morning with 44 parents, carers and children for a special Book Week story me. Dom read The Sloth Who Came to Stay and showed children the special bird with secret powers and a big shell where children could hear the sound of the sea. The children made a secret power mask.

BILLABONG HIGH SCHOOL Free entry to Field Days!! Billabong P&C will once again be manning the Eastern Gate at the HMFD from 17 th - 19 th September. This is a major fund-raiser for the P&C and all of the money raised goes back to suppor ng our kids. If you can help us out for a couple of hours this year please contact the school ASAP, you will receive free entry to the field days on the day you help out. We have just approved the purchase of 75 lockers to be installed for student use. The school is considering whether we may acquire a locker for each student (400) in the near future. This would be in support of two other ini a ves that we are currently considering. Ms Bowen is leading a small team to look at the increasing evidence that mobile phone use in schools is damaging for students, and whether we look at banning them from the classroom. If this is the case, lockers may enable students to lock their phones away during the day. A team at the school is exploring the idea of a restructure to the Billabong High School day, crea ng me every a ernoon for students to par cipate in team, extra-curricular, spor ng and interest group ac vi es in a bid to strengthen physical and mental wellbeing for students. Under choice of a range of ac vi es they could genuinely engage with each day, from school sports, to choir, yoga, dance, art, agriculture or robo cs – just to name a few.
