Teachers are currently preparing reports which will go out on the last day of term, so now is a great time for parents to have conversations about what work needs to be completed prior to the end of term. Students can then use Friday to catch up or stay on top of their work. A reminder, that the deadline for students to achieve an “S” for their unit 1 or unit 3 VCE study is this Friday at 4.00pm.

It has been another successful year. I would like to thank the Directors and Council Staff for their enthusiasm and co-operation. Thanks also to Karen and Donna for their work ethic, their enthusiasm and their productivity. The strong working relationship between Councils and the Group has continued as we strive to meet our regional targets of reducing waste, increased recycling and best practice waste management. I was personally pleased with Cohuna/Leitchville attaining two years plastic shopping bag free status and we had a terrific day handing out certificates with Kaye Darveniza, MP officiating the ceremony and we received lots of positive feedback from the traders as we met with each of them during the day. Across the region the continued rolling out of the plastic bag free program has been a success with 33 towns now ‘Plastic Bag Free’. Mention should also be made of the Loddon Shire and CMRWMG who received a Keep Australia Beautiful State Award for the Shire being Plastic Shopping Bag Free.
