Bushfire! The extreme fire conditions in NSW and Queensland this year is truly worrying. This is especially true for people in towns like Cann River. I don’t need to tell you we live with forest in all directions and it is possible these roads can become unpassable. We all need to plan ahead in regard this: it is essential that every family / individual has a fire plan. What will you do if you have to leave? What do you take? Where can you go? How do you keep in contact with what is going on throughout summer? How will you know to leave or not? It is important you understand the Local Incident Management Plan. It is important to remind the school community that the school is closed on Code Red Days and on Extreme and Severe if there is a fire in a 50 kilometre radius. See the following page What’s Happening

VCE exams finish on Friday with great thanks to Judy Mckinnon who became our supervisor at last minute. We are very pleased with the way the students approached the exams. A special mention of our year twelves, Anna and Dechlan. These two wonderful young adults will be missed by the school and we with them the best future Pictured left—looking reflective at their VCE dinner New Building This week the first project meeting for the new building occurred. This outcome of the design looks as though it will be a wonderful building. Essentially it sits on exactly the same footprint of the current P-2 building though it will have a wide decking around three sides. The process of the building will involve some difficulties as that corner of the school will be out of use from week two term one into term two. We will relocate the P-2 class into the library during that time. School Procedures for the Bushfire Season

Once again we had an excellent day at the Pushcart Derby. We saw rain, hail and snow in our travels., and our Cann River 2 team won the team work prize. Friends were made, rac- es run, and Swifts Creek Primary Schools excellent play equipment was thoroughly tested by our stu- dents. We also had ice creams on the way home, which were enthusias- tically enjoyed. T R E E P L A N T I N G DAY Remembrance Day 2019

Rock Candy Experiment Observation: Our Rock Candy has had no growth for the last couple of days. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that it isn’t growing because of the tissue that is on top of the jar. I think the tissue is the problem because the tissue is keeping the air from flowing in and out. So the solution can’t evaporate. science By Nicole 14/11/19

Community members will have the opportunity to ask questions relating to vehicle and scooter safety and use. Thousands of scooters are currently in use in , and it is estimated that this figure will significantly increase as our population ages.”

There will also be a Q & A with police, how the VicRoads Medical Review process works, polypharmacy and an information session on transitioning from driver tonon-driver with the health services, displays and door prizes. Fire Preparedness Officer

The Cann River Emergency Preparedness Group is extremely pleased to announce that, as a result of tenacious lobbying and advocacy, and with the support of the Office Lisa Neville, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, we have succeeded in obtaining the services of a professional facilitator to help us work towards improving our community’s preparedness for bushfires and other emergencies. Gail Cumming, Community Based Bushfire Management Officer (Safer Together program – joint CFA/DELWP initiative), will be working with ourselves, CFA, DELWP, EGSC, and other agencies, to help us to address the concerns our community has raised, and to build a system of ongoing management that will improve our preparedness for years to come. Gail has ten years’ experience in emergency management, focussing on community preparedness and recovery. She will be based in Lakes Entrance/Bairnsdale, and will be working to support the communities of Moe South and Toongabbie as well as Cann River. She is expecting to work on Cann River issues about 2 days a week over the next year. Gail is committed to working with the Emergency Preparedness Group as a reference group, who can provide local knowledge and advice, and act as a crucial communication link with the broader community. The Emergency Preparedness Group is very pleased to have their concerns recognized by the state government, and to have such a personable and professional person on the job to help find the answers to those concerns. Any Cann Valley District community members who wishes to become involved with the Emergency Management group are welcome to get in touch through the Cann River Community Centre. Current group members include: Gus McKinnon, Andrew Filmer, Marg Stevens, Jennet Young, and Susie Bady, as well as Shane Turner and Blanche Evans from EGSC, James Pardew from DELWP, and Rose Young from Cann River CFA brigade. CFA CANN VALLEY

Cann Valley is surrounded by forest so it is your best interest to:

PREPARE YOUR EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

Should a fire event occur in this area: 1: What will you do if a fire occurs, stay or leave early, what is your trigger to act? 2: Discuss your plan with family, friends & neighbours. Not everyone thinks clearly in an emergency, a written well-practised plan will help you remember what needs to be done during a crisis, and don’t forget to include your pets in your plan. 3: Have your emergency kit ready 4. Download the Vic Emergency App to stay informed or tune into the ABC local radio

Cann River’s “local incident management plan”, in the case of a major fire event is for the Cann Valley tanker and firefighters with one DELWP (forest fire management) tanker and firefighters are to protect the Cann River P-12 College. Cann Valley Fire Brigade has one tanker. Do not expect they will come to protect your house if a major fire occurs in this area. Help from other fire stations is at least 40 minutes away. While we work closely with DELWP, and Forest Fire Management, Cann River, they may help where they can.

If you need advice or support to plan and prepare for this fire season please talk to a local Brigade member or contact District 11 CFA HQ on 5153 7400, refer to the CFA website www.cfa.vic.gov.au
