I HATE THOSE MICES TO PIECES What is worse than finding you have mice in the house Having to

clean up after the blighters

Well a way to stop them scampering about in places they

shouldnrsquot be is to do the following Get some peppermint oil from

the Supermarket and dab a few drops on balls of cotton

wool then put the balls in places where the mouse has

been leaving his calling card Apparently mice hate the

smell of the stuff and will seek alternative

accommodation The perfume of the peppermint is

also quite pleasant to have wafting around

GARDEN CLUB NEWS A very pleasant Autumn Day was enjoyed by FOURTEEN

people who travelled to Dunkeld to visit the Vegetable

Garden that supplies the veggies to the Royal Mail Hotel

and other cafeacutes

The gardener (only 1 to take care of the 2 hectares of

vegetables) The garden is in ldquoAutumn Timerdquo there were

many varieties of beets carrots cauliflowers cabbages

celery as well as fruit and nut trees most trees had been

harvested

There were four huge ldquoHot Housesrdquo for the bananas and to

get the summer fruits and vegetables started When we were

there a worker was thinning the Banana hot house The

pumpkins and tomatoes have been harvested and were in

the cool room

Every vegetable in the garden is used by the Chefs and

when there are a only stems left these are put into a compost

heap (4 heaps) a worker with a tractor ldquostirs uprdquo the heaps

twice a week

The garden does not use ANY SPRAYSOR POWDERS

for slugs snails and other pests Instead they keep ducks

chooks and continue to check the leaves for pests There

were also 2 worm-farms in the garden

We then walked to the Myers Homestead where there was a

feature lake with several gardens surrounding with roses

shrubs and seasonal flowers Another interesting feature in

the garden was a huge Tree Trunk of a Murray Red Gum

The history is that it was growing in the area before white

settlers came In the garden were two hot houses that had

seeds drying for the next planting season

The group then went into the town and enjoyed lunch at the

Bakery This building was the original Baker shop During

lunch members were reminded that our ldquoChristmas in Junerdquo

will be held at the Lake Bolac Hotel on Monday June 4th at

12 noon Numbers must be finalized by Thursday May 31st

Parents club kindly have recently donated some great new

toys for the Sandpit at the School

We are sure they will provide hours of fun thank you

Cooking and Electrical fires

still the largest

cause of preventable

house fires for CFA

Cooking and electrical fires still cause the most house fires

across Victoria the CFArsquos latest preventable fire statistics

show

In 2017 in CFA districts there were 1588 preventable

house fires causing more than $42 million in damage

Overall preventable residential fires were down 29 in

2017

The areas with the costliest damage were in Melbournersquos

peri-urban fringe including the districts covering the

suburbs Dandenong Caroline Springs and Narre Warren

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

teachers Lake Bolac Wickliffe Mininera

Tatyoon amp Woorndoo were all well attended The

country was doing well The many bachelors who

instead of farming football cricket races tennis shooting

etc Saturday night dances were very popular Prior to the

Weddings there were for the brides to berdquo Kitchen Teasrdquo

And a rdquo Bucks Night for the Grooms After the Wedding

and the Honeymoon ldquoTin Kettlingrdquo was another

celebration The neighbors came in the dark hoping to find

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

I HATE THOSE MICES TO PIECES What is worse than finding you have mice in the house Having to

clean up after the blighters

Well a way to stop them scampering about in places they

shouldnrsquot be is to do the following Get some peppermint oil from

the Supermarket and dab a few drops on balls of cotton

wool then put the balls in places where the mouse has

been leaving his calling card Apparently mice hate the

smell of the stuff and will seek alternative

accommodation The perfume of the peppermint is

also quite pleasant to have wafting around

GARDEN CLUB NEWS A very pleasant Autumn Day was enjoyed by FOURTEEN

people who travelled to Dunkeld to visit the Vegetable

Garden that supplies the veggies to the Royal Mail Hotel

and other cafeacutes

The gardener (only 1 to take care of the 2 hectares of

vegetables) The garden is in ldquoAutumn Timerdquo there were

many varieties of beets carrots cauliflowers cabbages

celery as well as fruit and nut trees most trees had been

harvested

There were four huge ldquoHot Housesrdquo for the bananas and to

get the summer fruits and vegetables started When we were

there a worker was thinning the Banana hot house The

pumpkins and tomatoes have been harvested and were in

the cool room

Every vegetable in the garden is used by the Chefs and

when there are a only stems left these are put into a compost

heap (4 heaps) a worker with a tractor ldquostirs uprdquo the heaps

twice a week

The garden does not use ANY SPRAYSOR POWDERS

for slugs snails and other pests Instead they keep ducks

chooks and continue to check the leaves for pests There

were also 2 worm-farms in the garden

We then walked to the Myers Homestead where there was a

feature lake with several gardens surrounding with roses

shrubs and seasonal flowers Another interesting feature in

the garden was a huge Tree Trunk of a Murray Red Gum

The history is that it was growing in the area before white

settlers came In the garden were two hot houses that had

seeds drying for the next planting season

The group then went into the town and enjoyed lunch at the

Bakery This building was the original Baker shop During

lunch members were reminded that our ldquoChristmas in Junerdquo

will be held at the Lake Bolac Hotel on Monday June 4th at

12 noon Numbers must be finalized by Thursday May 31st

Parents club kindly have recently donated some great new

toys for the Sandpit at the School

We are sure they will provide hours of fun thank you

Cooking and Electrical fires

still the largest

cause of preventable

house fires for CFA

Cooking and electrical fires still cause the most house fires

across Victoria the CFArsquos latest preventable fire statistics

show

In 2017 in CFA districts there were 1588 preventable

house fires causing more than $42 million in damage

Overall preventable residential fires were down 29 in

2017

The areas with the costliest damage were in Melbournersquos

peri-urban fringe including the districts covering the

suburbs Dandenong Caroline Springs and Narre Warren

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

GARDEN CLUB NEWS A very pleasant Autumn Day was enjoyed by FOURTEEN

people who travelled to Dunkeld to visit the Vegetable

Garden that supplies the veggies to the Royal Mail Hotel

and other cafeacutes

The gardener (only 1 to take care of the 2 hectares of

vegetables) The garden is in ldquoAutumn Timerdquo there were

many varieties of beets carrots cauliflowers cabbages

celery as well as fruit and nut trees most trees had been

harvested

There were four huge ldquoHot Housesrdquo for the bananas and to

get the summer fruits and vegetables started When we were

there a worker was thinning the Banana hot house The

pumpkins and tomatoes have been harvested and were in

the cool room

Every vegetable in the garden is used by the Chefs and

when there are a only stems left these are put into a compost

heap (4 heaps) a worker with a tractor ldquostirs uprdquo the heaps

twice a week

The garden does not use ANY SPRAYSOR POWDERS

for slugs snails and other pests Instead they keep ducks

chooks and continue to check the leaves for pests There

were also 2 worm-farms in the garden

We then walked to the Myers Homestead where there was a

feature lake with several gardens surrounding with roses

shrubs and seasonal flowers Another interesting feature in

the garden was a huge Tree Trunk of a Murray Red Gum

The history is that it was growing in the area before white

settlers came In the garden were two hot houses that had

seeds drying for the next planting season

The group then went into the town and enjoyed lunch at the

Bakery This building was the original Baker shop During

lunch members were reminded that our ldquoChristmas in Junerdquo

will be held at the Lake Bolac Hotel on Monday June 4th at

12 noon Numbers must be finalized by Thursday May 31st

Parents club kindly have recently donated some great new

toys for the Sandpit at the School

We are sure they will provide hours of fun thank you

Cooking and Electrical fires

still the largest

cause of preventable

house fires for CFA

Cooking and electrical fires still cause the most house fires

across Victoria the CFArsquos latest preventable fire statistics

show

In 2017 in CFA districts there were 1588 preventable

house fires causing more than $42 million in damage

Overall preventable residential fires were down 29 in

2017

The areas with the costliest damage were in Melbournersquos

peri-urban fringe including the districts covering the

suburbs Dandenong Caroline Springs and Narre Warren

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

GARDEN CLUB NEWS A very pleasant Autumn Day was enjoyed by FOURTEEN

people who travelled to Dunkeld to visit the Vegetable

Garden that supplies the veggies to the Royal Mail Hotel

and other cafeacutes

The gardener (only 1 to take care of the 2 hectares of

vegetables) The garden is in ldquoAutumn Timerdquo there were

many varieties of beets carrots cauliflowers cabbages

celery as well as fruit and nut trees most trees had been

harvested

There were four huge ldquoHot Housesrdquo for the bananas and to

get the summer fruits and vegetables started When we were

there a worker was thinning the Banana hot house The

pumpkins and tomatoes have been harvested and were in

the cool room

Every vegetable in the garden is used by the Chefs and

when there are a only stems left these are put into a compost

heap (4 heaps) a worker with a tractor ldquostirs uprdquo the heaps

twice a week

The garden does not use ANY SPRAYSOR POWDERS

for slugs snails and other pests Instead they keep ducks

chooks and continue to check the leaves for pests There

were also 2 worm-farms in the garden

We then walked to the Myers Homestead where there was a

feature lake with several gardens surrounding with roses

shrubs and seasonal flowers Another interesting feature in

the garden was a huge Tree Trunk of a Murray Red Gum

The history is that it was growing in the area before white

settlers came In the garden were two hot houses that had

seeds drying for the next planting season

The group then went into the town and enjoyed lunch at the

Bakery This building was the original Baker shop During

lunch members were reminded that our ldquoChristmas in Junerdquo

will be held at the Lake Bolac Hotel on Monday June 4th at

12 noon Numbers must be finalized by Thursday May 31st

Parents club kindly have recently donated some great new

toys for the Sandpit at the School

We are sure they will provide hours of fun thank you

Cooking and Electrical fires

still the largest

cause of preventable

house fires for CFA

Cooking and electrical fires still cause the most house fires

across Victoria the CFArsquos latest preventable fire statistics

show

In 2017 in CFA districts there were 1588 preventable

house fires causing more than $42 million in damage

Overall preventable residential fires were down 29 in

2017

The areas with the costliest damage were in Melbournersquos

peri-urban fringe including the districts covering the

suburbs Dandenong Caroline Springs and Narre Warren

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

GARDEN CLUB NEWS A very pleasant Autumn Day was enjoyed by FOURTEEN

people who travelled to Dunkeld to visit the Vegetable

Garden that supplies the veggies to the Royal Mail Hotel

and other cafeacutes

The gardener (only 1 to take care of the 2 hectares of

vegetables) The garden is in ldquoAutumn Timerdquo there were

many varieties of beets carrots cauliflowers cabbages

celery as well as fruit and nut trees most trees had been

harvested

There were four huge ldquoHot Housesrdquo for the bananas and to

get the summer fruits and vegetables started When we were

there a worker was thinning the Banana hot house The

pumpkins and tomatoes have been harvested and were in

the cool room

Every vegetable in the garden is used by the Chefs and

when there are a only stems left these are put into a compost

heap (4 heaps) a worker with a tractor ldquostirs uprdquo the heaps

twice a week

The garden does not use ANY SPRAYSOR POWDERS

for slugs snails and other pests Instead they keep ducks

chooks and continue to check the leaves for pests There

were also 2 worm-farms in the garden

We then walked to the Myers Homestead where there was a

feature lake with several gardens surrounding with roses

shrubs and seasonal flowers Another interesting feature in

the garden was a huge Tree Trunk of a Murray Red Gum

The history is that it was growing in the area before white

settlers came In the garden were two hot houses that had

seeds drying for the next planting season

The group then went into the town and enjoyed lunch at the

Bakery This building was the original Baker shop During

lunch members were reminded that our ldquoChristmas in Junerdquo

will be held at the Lake Bolac Hotel on Monday June 4th at

12 noon Numbers must be finalized by Thursday May 31st

Parents club kindly have recently donated some great new

toys for the Sandpit at the School

We are sure they will provide hours of fun thank you

Cooking and Electrical fires

still the largest

cause of preventable

house fires for CFA

Cooking and electrical fires still cause the most house fires

across Victoria the CFArsquos latest preventable fire statistics

show

In 2017 in CFA districts there were 1588 preventable

house fires causing more than $42 million in damage

Overall preventable residential fires were down 29 in

2017

The areas with the costliest damage were in Melbournersquos

peri-urban fringe including the districts covering the

suburbs Dandenong Caroline Springs and Narre Warren

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Cooking and Electrical fires

still the largest

cause of preventable

house fires for CFA

Cooking and electrical fires still cause the most house fires

across Victoria the CFArsquos latest preventable fire statistics

show

In 2017 in CFA districts there were 1588 preventable

house fires causing more than $42 million in damage

Overall preventable residential fires were down 29 in

2017

The areas with the costliest damage were in Melbournersquos

peri-urban fringe including the districts covering the

suburbs Dandenong Caroline Springs and Narre Warren

Most preventable fires start in the kitchen followed by

lounge rooms bedrooms chimneys and then garages

The 2017 Preventable Fire Statistics demonstrate that while CFA

community education efforts are having a profound effect

there is a long way to go in reducing the amount of

preventable fires in our community

The number of fires starting in the kitchen is down 8

from 2016 however they still make up more than a third

(37) of incidents Cooking related fires are down 12

Fires starting at stoves ovens and cook tops led to 274

incidents

Electrical fires are the largest cause of property loss

causing an estimated $98 million in damage

CFA Acting Chief Officer Garry Cook said that while the

drop in preventable fires was encouraging home fire safety

education and preparedness remained a top priority for the

CFA

ldquoWorking smoke alarms save lives This is clearly

demonstrated through the fact that while there were more

than 1500 preventable house fires across the state property

loss was far greater than the loss of liferdquo Acting Chief

Officer Cook said

ldquoOur message is clear Check your smoke alarmrsquos battery

and if your smoke alarm is aged 10 years or more the

whole unit should be changedrdquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said the figures also showed

how the services of CFA were changing

ldquoYes we fight bushfires but we do so much more We are

an urban fire fighting authority that operates throughout

Victoria including across 60 of metropolitan

Melbournersquo

ldquoA 29 drop in incidents in a calendar year is a solid

result given the population growth rate that has been

concentrated in CFArsquos service areardquo

Acting Chief Officer Cook said education was often an

overlooked but arguably the most important aspect of

what CFA does

ldquoThe best way to stop a fire is to teach a person how to be

safe in the home and stop a fire before it even begins

ldquoThis includes reaching out to our multi-cultural

communities making sure regardless of whether you speak

English or not you are safe around firesrdquo

ldquoWhether we are educating people about not drying clothes

too close to the heater never leaving cooking unattended

or keeping lighters away from children it is all part of our

ultimate goal of protecting life and propertyrdquo

had a very competitive match against Glen Dunkeld level

matches were disasters at Derrinallum and Lake Bolac This

injuries are healed and the team will play well

The Reserves are second on the ladder we hope that they

will not have many injuries and continue to stay up near the

top of the ladder

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES

Back in the lsquo60s the Soldier Settlers families were

settled with their families The small towns were

supported and the schools had more pupils This

required more workers teachers nurses etc

Schools in the area Carranballac (almost

100pupils) Streatham the same Westmere had 2

teachers Lake Bolac Wickliffe Mininera

Tatyoon amp Woorndoo were all well attended The

country was doing well The many bachelors who

were in the district had other things to think of

instead of farming football cricket races tennis shooting

etc Saturday night dances were very popular Prior to the

Weddings there were for the brides to berdquo Kitchen Teasrdquo

And a rdquo Bucks Night for the Grooms After the Wedding

and the Honeymoon ldquoTin Kettlingrdquo was another

celebration The neighbors came in the dark hoping to find

the newly-weds in bed A good party followed

There were approximately 20 weddings celebrated during

the sixties Twenty years on it was suggested that we should

have an Anniversary Celebration The first Dinner was at

the Ararat Country Kitchen there were over 30 people

there We again celebrated 25 yrs in Ararat Then we

moved to Ballarat for 30 40 45 50 We now meet yearly

the Sunday after Mothersrsquo Day

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

teachers Lake Bolac Wickliffe Mininera

Tatyoon amp Woorndoo were all well attended The

were in the district had other things to think of

instead of farming football cricket races tennis shooting

etc Saturday night dances were very popular Prior to the

Weddings there were for the brides to berdquo Kitchen Teasrdquo

And a rdquo Bucks Night for the Grooms After the Wedding

and the Honeymoon ldquoTin Kettlingrdquo was another

celebration The neighbors came in the dark hoping to find

the newly-weds in bed A good party followed

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES

Back in the lsquo60s the Soldier Settlers families were

settled with their families The small towns were

Schools in the area Carranballac (almost

100pupils) Streatham the same Westmere had 2

teachers Lake Bolac Wickliffe Mininera

Tatyoon amp Woorndoo were all well attended The

country was doing well The many bachelors who

were in the district had other things to think of

instead of farming football cricket races tennis shooting

etc Saturday night dances were very popular Prior to the

Weddings there were for the brides to berdquo Kitchen Teasrdquo

And a rdquo Bucks Night for the Grooms After the Wedding

and the Honeymoon ldquoTin Kettlingrdquo was another

celebration The neighbors came in the dark hoping to find

the newly-weds in bed A good party followed

There were approximately 20 weddings celebrated during

the sixties Twenty years on it was suggested that we should

have an Anniversary Celebration The first Dinner was at

the Ararat Country Kitchen there were over 30 people

there We again celebrated 25 yrs in Ararat Then we

moved to Ballarat for 30 40 45 50 We now meet yearly

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

had a very competitive match against Glen Dunkeld level

will not have many injuries and continue to stay up near the

top of the ladder

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Principalrsquos Message

On behalf of the school staff Irsquod like to thank the Parentsrsquo

Club and the Skipton Community Shop for funding our

new phone system It has made such a difference to our

ability to communicate within the school ndash wersquore becoming

very skilled in paging transferring checking voice

messages and placing people on hold and we can now hear

you when you call We appreciate and value your

contribution in bringing us into the 21st century

Another very big thank you to the Parents Club for

funding the new post pads for the playground ndash it is

now a lsquohead-injury freersquo zone

We have had a lot of enthusiastic offers to bring in lsquonatural

partsrsquo for our revitalised creative play space We think

given the response that we need to create a plan for the

development of the new space so that it comes together

coherently If you would like to join us in a planning group

please let us know so we can begin

Our first meeting will be held next Wednesday 30th May at

6pm for anyone interested Megan Read has sent us in some

more inspiring photos to get us thinkingndash thanks Megan

Interschool Sports Day Organisers have had some

difficulty finalising the Interschool Sports Day with the

weather causing issues Please note the Sports have been

moved from Derrinallum for Llanberris in Ballarat on

Tuesday 29th May Children will need to bring their own

lunch as there will be limited stock available in the canteen

Parents are required to get children to and from the venue

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it

would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

can help out

Assembly You may be aware that part of our assembly

routine includes children sharing their learning and

achievements with the whole school which is a lovely way

for us to find out what they are working on and what they

are enjoying learning about It does make it difficult though

when proceedings are interrupted by children being picked

up early

While we donrsquot mind children being picked up early we

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

starting at 245 or if you know youlsquoll be picking your

children up early please let us know so we can have them

ready to go in a convenient spot that wonrsquot interrupt

assembly proceedings Many thanks

We would also like to wish Lillian Coon all the best as she

heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week

Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of

the game we had our first win 21 to 10

The girls put on a superb performance and showed how

much they have improved over the past few weeks they

were organised disciplined and dominated play from the

get go with superb passing and movement The girls

should be extremely proud of the improvement they have

made as individuals as well as a team

In other games our under 13b girls had some bigger

stronger opposition but remain undefeated with a 10 goal

to 2 win Awards went to Ruby Gardiner and Cate

Connell

The 13a girls also had a great win getting up 16 to 11

Silver Victorsen and Tess Bingham received the awards

Unfortunately thatrsquos where the wins ended with the under

17s going down 19 to 28 Annie Elliott and Sophie

Daniela tried hard to take the awards

C grade were up against a consistent top 8 side and went

down 30 to 43 with Anna Walker Jess Whiteside and Bec

Walker taking the awards

B grade should have had the win and went from a 4 goal

lead to a disappointing 3 goal loss Awards to Amy

Dridan Georgie Fay and Natalie Clark

A grade were undermanned this week and the juniors that

stepped up Paige Follett and Pas Sheriff along with the

determined Laura Fay deserved the awards in the tough

10 to 60 goal loss

So hopefully we can get a few more wins on the board

next week when we meet Buninyong at Buninyong to give

us something to celebrate at the ball

Next week we travel to Buninyong then return to the

Skipton Hall for our Masquerade Ball This will be great

evening and I would like to extend an invitation to all in

the Skipton and district community to come and join in the

fun All we need to do is dress up and have a mask for a

fun night All welcome

Football

Skipton turned on the great weather again for our games

against Gordon on the weekend Plenty of local support in

evidence and the opposition were well supported

The Under 12rsquos played well under fill in coach Warwick

Read we wish James Draffin all the best with his back

ailment recovery but be aware Draff someone is eyeing

off your job Skipton 65-41 to Gordon 00-0 Pinkyrsquos

Pizza award went to Laine Scott Skipcoin to Tiger

Williams Well done boys

The Under 15rsquos came up against another undefeated side

in a test for their team play They hit the ground full of

enthusiasm looking to help Bailey Meek and Blake Scott

celebrate their 100th games After an evenly matched first

half Skipton were able to control a relatively low scoring

game winning 76-48 to 42-26 Awards went to Bailey

Meek for Pinkyrsquos pizza and Marty Boyer received the

Skipcoin

The Under 18 game was a familiar affair as I have said

before Skipton have a quality list but are 5 players short

on quantity Such is the nature of junior football your

fortunes change yearly in a cyclical nature as players

move in and out of age groups Despite this as in every

other game they play our team gives it their all and are

continuing to learn and improve under coach Chris Jones

Final score Skipton 35-24 defeated by Gordon 117-73

Pinkyrsquos went to Lachy Wills Skipcoin to Cree Stranks

Emu Creek Deli to Jake Crack

The Reserves continued their good form victorious again

racking up the wins A good team effort saw them get

away from Gordon in the later stages of the game winning

96-60 to 310-28 Lachlan Parker and Daniel Hopkinson

received the awards for their efforts

The Senior game at times looked promising for Skipton

after a good start by Gordon Skipton closed the gap and

seemed to have momentum at the end of the third term

Unfortunately that was where we finished with Gordon

piling on the goals in the last to run away with the game It

was a disappointing end to a game we looked to be

competitive in As our team grows in confidence and

experience these inconsistencies will become less

common and improvement will continue

We have to recognise that we come a long way in 12

months as a side and even with results like this there is

still plenty of upside in this list for Greg to work on Final

score Skipton 68-44 to 1712-113

Netball The sun was shining on our netballers as we took on

Gordon at home on Saturday with our under 15 girls

providing the success story of the day

A report from the coach Fiona Collins

It has been great to see the girlrsquos enthusiasm for netball

continue to grow they have been working hard at training

and are continuing to develop their game play The girls

started with determination and confidence with Paige K

and Kate focused on their defence and gaining possession

of the ball

It was fantastic to see that their footwork was outstanding

and that the girls in the centre court were able to apply

their tactical understanding to different situations within

the game working together to progress the ball up the

court using several different passes and being aware of

their space

Sophie Alex and Charlotte made some excellent moves in

the ring resulting in lots of great goals and at the end of
