Vol 31 - No. 5 email: [email protected] Circulation: 1600 SHOW PLANS TO BOOST LOCAL BUSINESSES
The Show committee understand the importance of continuing to run a local show in our region especially coming off the back of a drought and hardship caused by COVID-19 restrictions. Chairperson Matt Scharkie, Vice Chairperson James Moore and the show sponsorship team are looking forward to visiting local businesses soon to offer sponsorship and business advertising opportunities for this year’s show. The plan is to promote local businesses creating facebook video promotions, prior to the show, then electronically displayed during the show weekend. Last year’s facebook promotions were an outstanding success with a major increase in traffic to the Jamestown Show facebook page. The committee hopes this will boost our town’s appeal and business takings in the lead up the show and beyond.
Businesses will also be encouraged to come on board to hold a Chairperson Matt Scharkie and Vice Chairperson James Moore trade site at this year’s show for self promotion, with discounts being looking forward to October long weekend. discussed. As an add on to the already fantastic Sheep and Wool events, the committee are working towards a NORTHERN AG SPECIAL SELECTION RAM SALE. This event will continue to happen even if the show can not. It will give our local studs a great opportunity (in light of other cancelled opportunities) to promote and sell their Rams. There is already a fair amount of interest from local stud operators to participate and the show committee are excited that show goers will be able to partake in another great country experience. The very first AWI Shearing School took place this Monday 1st June at the Heineger Shearer Training Centre, built as part of the Jamestown Show committee’s 2019 Show year commitment. It is a great to see the versatile facility being used for training purposes. The Sheep and Wool Committee members tidied up the facilities, prior to the event, and installed hand washing facilities to keep safety in mind. Precautions were put in place to ensure everything was in line with COVID-19 regulations. Well done to all! AWI Shearing School participants and teachers ready to start a weeks training.

NORTHERN HIGHLANDS SOROPTIMISTS NEWS The eflection Corner and the Infant Cemetery at the cemetery are regularly maintained by our members. Have you ever wondered how these areas came into being? The members felt there was a need for a pleasant shaded place to sit and reflect when visiting the cemetery. A shady tree and a hedge of laurustinus were planted to shelter a comfortable seat. A slate path leads to the seat from a surrounding fragrant border of rosemary and lavender bushes. It is a secluded nook further enhanced by roses. Another seat was later added on the northern side.

June 2020 - Page 13 The Student Leaders, and Aimee Goode who has been supporting JAMESTOWN their work, are to be commended on the work they have done so far. We look forward to seeing how they can further contribute to school COMMUNITY SCHOOL improvement throughout the rest of 2020. STUDENT VOICE Michael Gaunt Student Voice plays an important role in the school by providing a forum Principal for students’ needs and ideas to be heard. Increasing opportunities for our students to do this has been a focus this year, and so far I could not be more impressed in the manner in which our 2020 School Captains and Vice-Captains have engaged with their peers, staff and Governing Council on a range of student voice initiatives. Our 2020 Student Leaders started their planning during an overnight camp in Wallaroo at the end of last year. At this camp they started to clarify their focus areas for this year, and discussed how they would listen to the issues of the students they represent and advocate on their behalf. The Student Leaders, made up of representatives from the Primary, Middle and Senior years, meet fortnightly to discuss ideas and plan actions. They also run 2 meetings with each class per term, which have been successful in allowing Leaders to share information with their peers, as well as providing a forum for students to share their ideas for school improvement with the Leaders. While we are only midway through Term 2, and despite the challenging School Captains are as follows …….. times we have been faced with, our student leaders have already Back Row L-R: Troy Ritchie (Senior School V/Captain), much to show for their efforts.

The early rains this year are a promising start to the 2020 season. This is a refreshing change after the several years of drought. Despite the good start here in Jamestown and surrounds, many of our northern and eastern neighbours are still doing it tough. There is no doubt that the COVID-19 JAMESTOWN Ph: 8664 1907 pandemic has compounded the stress that farming and pastoral communities have faced.
