St John’s celebrates 175 years
Grade 3/4 students perform for the special 175th assembly
On Wednesday the 27th of June St John’s Catholic School in Richmond celebrated their 175th Anniversary. The school was originally founded in 1843 by Father Butler, who engaged the services of Michael O’Keefe to establish and run the school. The school in 1843 started with 20 students and 1 teacher. Today the school has grown to 340 students and 50 staff. The school now has fourth and fifth generation students in attendance.
During the anniversary celebrations the whole school dressed in 1840’s attire for a school photo in front of neighbouring Richmond Bridge. They also had a special assembly where each class from Kindergarten to Grade 6 presented an item in front of parents, invited guests and past principals. Students took part in activities such as bonnet making, wood work, sewing, finger knitting and hopscotch and had a shared lunch with their visitors. A history display of items sourced from the Community and past and present students featured very old school study books from the 1840s, early uniforms, photographs, awards and lots of memories.
St John’s Catholic School welcomes students not just from the Richmond area, but from Campania, Oatlands, Bothwell, Seven Mile Beach and the Tasman Peninsula.
Photographs of the event are on the centre page of the newsletter.

My name is William Wurf and I am passionate about the health of people in Richmond and the Coal River Valley.Growing up in the area gave me a strong sense of just how wonderful living in Tasmania can be, and after studying Dentistry in Adelaide I couldn’t wait to return and start practicing in the place I love.Working centrally on the eastern shore has allowed me to meet and help so many new people from the valley, and I look forward to seeing even more of you.
I offer a down to earth, relaxed and non judgmental atmosphere for all my patients, whether their dental needs be simple or complex and I am always happy to take the time to talk about what aspect of your dental health is most important to you.I can be found at Bayfield Dental in Rosny with convenient appointment times available to suit you.Please call 03 6244 5993 for any enquiries or to make an appointment.I look forward to meeting you soon!
The Beacon Project
The Beacon Project will provide a unique tourism interpretive approach to sites and points of interest around Richmond. Locals and tourists will be able to access their local history at different sites around Richmond via a smart phone application.
This project takes interpretation to the next level and is on the cutting edge of technol-ogy use. The beacons contain the content/information and connect to visitors via the blue tooth system, using an specifically de-signed “app” that would be accessed on visi-tors’ mobile smart device.
The project uses augmented reality to im-merse the visitor in the experience using their smart devices as a window into the attraction or point of interest, bringing the experience to life as they come within the range of the beacons.
The Richmond component is part of a broader project that will see the technolo-gy implemented in the Brighton, Southern Midlands and Derwent Valley council areas.
The Project is jointly funded by the Clarence City Council (for the Richmond component) and the State Government and is expected to be completed by September this year.

Free Information session on Home Battery Storage for Solar and Wind Power
At 7 pm on Tuesday 14th August 2018Centacare Meeting Room
21 Torrens Street, Richmond
Organised by the Coal River Valley Sustainable Living Group.
Changes in solar power feed-in tariffs at the end of this year mean a drop from a payment of around 28 cents per kW to around 9 cents. This will have a big impact on power bills. Installing storage batteries may be an economical solution for you so that you can use all your own stored solar electricity rather than sending it to the grid. There is also a possibility that the scheme on trial on Bruny Island using linked home storage batteries to meet demand during peak usage periods may be extended in some form to the rest of Tasmania.Come and find out what is happening in battery storage and options for using rooftop solar power. It will help you to decide whether battery storage is a good choice for you.
