  • Seaspeak GLAMORGAN SPRING BAY COUNCIL NEWS
    SeaSpeak GLAMORGAN SPRING BAY COUNCIL NEWS A WORD FROM THE MAYOR ear Reader, DCouncil welcomes Keith Pyke as your elected representative, after a ballot-paper countback, following the sad passing of Councillor Michael Kent in December. Council welcomes Daniel Smee as the Acting General Manager whilst General Manager David Metcalf is on leave. The Glamorgan Spring Bay Citizen Award recipients this year were Gavan Barber and David Kirk. The Triabunna Community Hall was filled to capacity to celebrate and thank Gavan and David for their contribution to the community. In March I had the privilege of conducting a Citizenship Ceremony. Congratulations to our new Australian Citizens, Anne Held and Ryan Hodson. Your Council has been busy over the past few months as we, your elected members, work collaboratively on a number of local issues and opportunities. Paddy’s Paddock In January I was taken on a tour of the Spring Bay Mill site and nearby Paddy’s Paddock by Graeme Wood, Anna Cerneaz and Marcus Ragus. There is a great deal of work that has been completed on site with innovative, fun and exciting plans being put in to action. I was so impressed by Paddy’s Paddock that I asked Graeme to share the story of the garden with SeaSpeak readers. The article “All things good and delicious” is included in this edition! Council will continue to bring you articles showcasing local businesses working with community in positive and inspiring ways. Cranbrook In February Council held a Community Connect Session at the Cranbrook Hall which was followed by a workshop delivered by DPIPWE Water Management regarding the Swan River.

  • Parent Handbook 2019
    TRIABUNNA DISTRICT SCHOOL PARENT HANDBOOK 2020 WELCOME On behalf of our staff, students and wider school community I extend our warmest welcome. Triabunna District School is situated in spacious grounds at the gateway to the township of Triabunna. The school has a combination of modern and historic buildings overlooking beautiful Spring Bay and majestic Maria Island in the distance. Our school has a long history; the Triabunna State School being continuously open since 1863. With many modifications over the years, the school now provides a co-educational facility for K- 6 students and a Birth to 4 program for children from our township and for 7-12 students from across our Municipality including Swansea, Little Swanport, Triabunna, Orford and Buckland. There are approximately 155 students in the school, equally divided across the Primary and Secondary sections. Our K–12 facility provides a unique context where whole school approaches have been adopted to ensure the best learning opportunities to meet the educational needs of all students. Our vision is underpinned by the Department Of Education values of Aspiration, Growth, Resilience and Courage as well as our school values of Respect, Resilience and Growth. We encourage creative thinking and work to develop problem solving skills. We strive to develop preparedness for life-long learning that fosters a positive attitude by valuing and celebrating achievement in its many forms. These aims and objectives can only be achieved by establishing close, three-way partnerships between parents, staff and students. As such, we welcome our new students and their whole family to our school community and look forward to our ongoing collaborative work that ensures that learners are first – connected and inspired.

  • A Compilation of Place Names and Their Histories in Tasmania
    LA TROBE: Renamed Latrobe. LACHLAN: A small farming district 6 Km. south of New Norfolk. It is on the Lachlan Road, which runs beside a river of the same name. Sir John Franklin, in 1837, founded the settlement, and used the christian name of Governor Macquarie for the township. LACKRANA: A small rural settlement on Flinders Island. It is 10 Km. due east of Whitemark, over the Darling Range. A district noted for its dairy produce, it is also the centre of the Lackrana Wildlife Sanctuary. LADY BARRON: The main southern town on Flinders Island, 24 Km. south ofWhitemark. Situated in Adelaide Bay, it was named in honour of the wife of a Governor of Tasmania Sir Harry Barron. Places with names, which are very similar often, created confusion. LADY BAY: A small bay on the southern end of DEntrecasteaux Channel, 6 Km. east of Southport. It is almost deserted now except for a few holiday shacks. It was once an important port for the timber industry but there is very little of the wharf today. It has also been known as Lady's Bay. LADY NELSON CREEK: A small creek on the southern side of Dilston, it joins with Coldwater Creek and becomes a tributary of the Tamar River. The creek rises inland, near Underwood, and flows through some good farming country. It was an important freshwater supply in the early days of the colony. LAGOONS: An alternative name for Chain of Lagoons. It is 17 Km. south ofSt.Marys on the Tasman Highway. A geographical description of the inlet, which is named Saltwater Inlet, when the tide goes out it, leaves a "chain of lagoons".
