Last term, has in many ways, been fast and furious. Students

have settled in well and we are seeing our student leaders

emerging with great respect and responsibility. Our student

leaders provide the “Student Voice for our students”. The Junior

School Council along with the House Leaders, feedback ideas

to the staff, which create harmony and connection. They plan

to take responsibility for the wellbeing of the students and are

always looking to create opportunities for fun.

Commencing in Term 2 is the BAN on all portable mobile

devices. The message was strong from families, and of one

voice! No phones/ ipods or gaming consoles are permitted to be

used at school.

In addition, this term we will see the launch of the Haddon

Website. All newsletters, excursion and enrolment forms will be

available. As well, we will have photos and updates on things

happening around the school. We will advertise when we go

live and once in place. This will be a far more efficient and

environmentally friendly alternative. The website will also host a

comprehensive calendar for families. A long time coming but not

far off now! Paper newsletter will be available to families who do

not have email or internet capabilities.

The walkathon provided an extracurricular connection

for students as they walk for fitness. The School can’t

underestimate the enjoyment that our students have when

engaged in these activities.

The ELC Staff are seeking unwanted goods for their

“Investigation” areas: X-rays (animal, dental, people), small

mirrors, buttons & magnets. A box for unwanted bits and pieces

will be located on ELC Bench, or pass onto junior unit staff.

The Haddon School’s plant drive has commenced last term and

if you could spare a plant or seeds, potting mix or a tree please

donate to the O’Conner Magic Garden then this will assist

one of our families to help rebuild after the fire devastated their

garden, shed, and play area.

There will be a Careers and Jobs expo for grade 5 and 6

students. This involves interactive workshops, guest speakers,

take home info and hands on activities. It will be held at

Smythesdale Recreation Reserve on the 8th of May between

9:30am and 2pm.

DEREEL BUSH FIRE – ITEMS NEEDED


April / May 2013

The Dereel Fires affected 124 properties and destroyed 17 homes. A quote from a staff member at

the community centre:

The following is a list of items urgently required for the

Dereel Bushfire Victims. Please take a moment to read

the list and see if there is anything you are

able to donate.

If you are able to donate something, please email

[email protected] first, and

please wait for a response before bringing it in.

If the item is still required, please deliver it to the Shared

Services Office (under Ray’s) by Friday morning at

10.00 am. This is rather short notice, however these

items are required urgently so anything you might

be able to come up with by tomorrow morning would

be much appreciated. Please also have a look at the

Dereel Bushfire Facebook page:

THESE ARE PRIORITY- LUCERNE CHAFF AND OATEN CHAFF- OLD STRAW OR HAY: - lots of spoiled hay or straw to place in drainage lines into stock dams to try and prevent ash and debris flowing in during the next rains. Potash contamination in water can make stock really sick.- TOOLS, SHOVELS, RAKES, HAMMERS, SAWS, DRILLS, NAILS, HANDLES (some of the tools that were burnt had wooden ends, rakes, shovels etc so handles are needed so those tools can be used)- BLOCK SPLITTER HANDLES- MEN’S OVERALLS AND WORK BOOTS IN ALL SIZES are needed ASAP please- MEN’S XXL AND XXXL CLOTHING

ITEMS NOT REQUIRED AT THIS STAGE- LINEN- FURNITURE (At this stage if you have any furniture you wish to donate could you please hang on to it and once we have a better idea of what families need we can then organise collection or drop offs. If you need the donated furniture removed we may be able to store some at the old Dereel shop but we would need to organise drop off times so someone is there)- CLOTHES (At this stage the relief centre has been inundated with clothes especially womens and childrens which theyare still sorting through. On Tuesday they should have a better idea of clothes that may be needed for affected families. So if you don’t mind holding onto any of those items until then it would be great. Clothes we are still after are MENS XXL and XXXL)

**OPEN HOURS: for the Dereel Community Hall 8am-4pm.**CASH DONATIONS: A trust has been set up for anyone wanting to make a donationAT ANY BENDIGO BANK: Deposits can be made to: Dereel Bush Fire AppealOR you can log onto:ht tp : / /www.bendigobank .com.au / foundat ion /dereelbushfireappealAny donations will receive a receipt.

*In the “Files” section of the facebook page there is a file for people who can offer free services, paddocks etc so please comment on to what you can offer, as these will be noted down.

NOT A HIGH PRIORITY AT THE MOMENT (but still needed)- FOOD nonperishable items also margarine or butter, baby food- CLEANING UTENSILS AND PRODUCTS (even things like glen 20 etc)- FOOD FOR PETS (cats, dogs, birds etc) Kitty Litter etc- If we can source some ROUND BALES FOR STOCK it would be great. They may not get picked up in the next few days but if you have any to spare it will come in handy to give some of the people with large stock in need of feed.

(Can you please direct all stock feeds such as hay, grains etc to Kym Stanley-Eyles as she is co-ordinating all stock feed (please access facebook page and tag Kym in your comment or message her directly)

Surely there are good people who can assist.

Lest we forget; memorial day parallels.

These lines are part of the famous poem ‘For the Fallen’ by English poet Laurence Binyon as a tribute to all casualties of war. At the end of the poem the words ‘lest we forget’ is usually added. Lest we forget is a strong theme for both Anzac Day and Rememberence Day, as we are reminded not to forget all those killed and injured in war. Both Anzac Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies share a number of parallels, having similar customs and traditions. The Shrine of Remberence, Victoria’s largest war memorial was built to honour and pay tribute to those who sacrificed themselves in the first world war and other wars since. Both on Anzac Day and Remberence Day there is a service at The Shrine to remember those who served. Flowers feature on both days. Flowers are laid on graves and memorials and red poppies, a tradtional symbol of Rememberence day and worn by people on their lapels has also become associated with Anzac Day. During the first world war red poppies sprung up in in great numbers in the battlefields of France and Belgium. The vivid red of the poppy fields symbolise the blood shed by the soldiers that soaked the ground. Rosemary too is associated with these two days. Rosemary is a herb that aids memory and has become a symbol of fidelity and remembrance in literature, which is why a sprig of rosemary is worn on the slouch hat. At the commemorative services it is customary to sound the bugle with military calls and lean on rifles held upside down as a sign of respect and mourning, in a tradition know as ‘reversing the arms’. Like the one minute silence that is generally well known on Rememberance Day at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, Anzac Day has two minutes of silence for respect and reflection. Flags are lowered at half mast to remember those lost at war and is a symbol of respect, mourning and distress. 12-year-old Blake Morgan wrote a poem to commemorate Anzac Day and honour his Digger ancestors. Although written for Anzac Day, it could just as easily relate to Remeberance Day (and any other war for that matter).

Lest we forget? Lest we forget what?The beach, the bush and the freedom Ive got!

Its always been here, since I was a boy.My clothes, my friends, my family, my toys!

I live by the beach, enjoy the sand and the sea.There could be no better place to live for me.

The restrictions I have, in a life full of fun,Are only restricted by my dad and mum!

The things they have seen, the lessons they have learned!They will instill them in me, and their trust I will earn!

For they know the past, and the stories of old.Stories that must forever be told!

Stories of courage, of strength and determination.Stories that have moulded and shaped this great nation!

Stories about heroes, about good men and women.Stories that give me the great life that I am living!But sadly, I know, these heroes I will never meet!

Still I will march in their memory, on their day,Down George Street!

I will march for the heroes that didn’t come homeAnd I know I’ll be marching for the ones left alone!My great grandads were there, left behind the ones

that they loved!So I could live in this great land and live the life that I love!

One grandpa came home and one grandpa laid to rest.So proudly I wear both their medals on my chest!

I thank you my heroes, from the bottom of my heart.The young men the donkey, with his master and cart!

Be proud of yourselves and hold your heads high.Enjoy what you have saved from your perch in the sky!

Anzacs they call you and Anzacs you areGod please love the Anzacs because two are my pas.

We will remember them.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning

International Women’s Day

Our theme this year is

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of

women past, present and future.

This year’s International Women’s Day was celebrated with guest speakers Helen Burzacott, Robyn Suttie,

Robyn Janczewski and artist Anne Langdon.

Anne Langdon spoke of how she found her surroundings have stimulated and enhanced her whimsical figurative style and this was shown through her amazing artworks. Helen Burzacott, President of Dragons Abreast, spoke on the Dragons Abreast national organisation which is comprised of breast cancer survivors (and very special supports) of various ages from a great variety of backgrounds, athletic abilities and interests. Robyn Suttie spoke of her experiences to Uganda with some positive women’s stories coming out of Uganda and the Watoto Children’s Choir. Robyn Janczewski teaches Salsa dancing and concluded the night with a Salsa dancing demonstration and workshop. Robyn and Oskar Janczewski from Prickleberry Sourdough Bakery supplied the evening with some of their amazing food

and famous sourdough bread.

First Friday Papercrafts

Shopping Trip

It’s been a busy April (and it’s supposed to be our quiet time!) Since the 1st of April, we have attended to 92 animals and 46 of these have been kangaroos or wallabies! The devastating Dereel bush fire has had a huge impact on the wildlife in the area and so we have been out to Dereel on many occasions. As always, there is never a dull moment!One of our recent rescues was called in by a Scarsdale man who had been walking his dog through the bush. The dog raced away from the man and started barking at something. When the man caught up with the dog, he realised the dog was barking at an old gold mine shaft. When he had a closer look, he realised there was an adult wallaby at the bottom of it! The mine shaft was quite narrow and we were lucky that our ladder was narrow enough to go down it! I scaled down the ladder, wrapped the by-now-angry wallaby up in a blanket and put it in our roo bag and then hauled his heavy, approximately 45kg weight back up the ladder. Once up the top, the wallaby wasted no time wiggling out of the bag and taking off into the bush! Phew!!As always we have been busy. My emotions and resilience have been tested over the past two weeks with the recent Dereel fires. I visit Dereel regularly most weeks to pick up orphaned or injured animals, so I knew this fire was going to be quite devastating-not only to the residents of Dereel and what they have been through but also the animals that would be affected. Since the fires we have attended to a lot of animals. Some have been euthanised due to the severity of their injuries but we have a couple of luckier ones at home in intensive care. Our emergency room smells like a bushfire at the moment!One of our patients is Graham, a brushtail possum who was found under a log laying on the ground, in an area that was completely burnt out. He has burns to all four limbs, his tail and his face and all the fur on his body is singed. He was suffering from smoke inhalation, dehydration and his eyes are very swollen. But after all that, he is allowing me to change his bandages every day, put cream in his eyes and give him daily pain medication. Today he is sitting up and has started drinking by himself.We are hoping he continues to improve each day.

Our fundraising events are vital for us because we are completely voluntary and we get no financial assistance. Costs like veterinary bills, medication and specialised foods are what we can purchase after these events. At high need times like what we are experiencing now with the Dereel fires, we need all the help we can get!!

School Holiday Activities

Special of the day...People buy more flowers on Mother’s Day than almost any other day of the year, with the exception perhaps being Valentine’s Day. This surely could be taken as a sign that many people love and appreciate their mums. And rightly so, mothers are very special people, definitely among the most amazing people in the world. Without our mothers where would we be? Regardless of the state of one’s relationship with their mother, be it good, bad or indifferent, the bond we have with our mother is unparalleled by that of anyone else in our lives. The mother-child bond is inescapable, for mothers give birth to us after having carried us in their own bodies for nine months, and that really is something unique to mothers that can not be found in any other person, not even our fathers. True, fathers play an essential role in our creation, and similarly we would not come into existence without their input, but they do not have the capability to internally carry us for some months until we are ready to come into the world. So deservingly there be a day dedicated to mothers where the world celebrates, recognises and honours the greatness of mums. Happy Mother’s Day! Eventhough Mother’s Day is recognised universally, it actually originated in America and has religious affiliations with the Roman Catholic Church in so far as revering Mother Mary. The moment a baby is born, so too is the the mother. So what are some of the qualities that embody motherhood? That is a bit of a subjective question which does not have one definitive answer but rather would vary from one person to the next. What makes a good mum?

Is it kindness? Is it the way she cleans your knee when you graze it riding down the slide too quickly? Is it the special way she comforts you and lets you know that you’re ok? Yes it is all of these things and a whole lot more. It means different things to different people. Just as the answer to this question varies widely, so too can the demarcation of motherhood. Indeed as seen in our mainstream society, mothers are the women who birth us and raise us. But there are other variations upon this theme, which include adopted, step and selected mothers. But thinking outside the square, being a mother is not just reserved for these varieties. Anyone that has ever cared for animals or plants could be considered mothers. The sick and invalid who rely on the care and duty of nurses in a hospital could symbolically be the recipients of a motherly role. Building a successful business from scratch is a type of mother diligently tending to her baby. Although as mentioned, the answer to what makes a good mother is subjective and varied, it would be commonly agreed that among other things a good mother is one who cares for and nurtures those who depend on them. The family dog or cat would not be able to survive without being fed, plants would wilt without being watered and the sick would not get well without care. A common trait among many mothers is that they do indeed care. So to all those women out there who care for and nurture someone or something beside themselves Happy Mother’s Day.

Indeed mothers are special!

1. Know your soil type Get to know your soil type. When you know this, you will know how to manage it and get the best out of it. There are three basic types - sand, silt and clay - and if you are not sure about what you have, ask your neighbours if there isn’t a nursery or garden centre nearby.

Learn to identify pests and diseases so that appropriate action can be taken, ensuring that you use the “softest’’ option available. Spraying with chemicals may be necessary as a last resort.

Use plenty of organic matter, regardless of the soil type. Organic fertilisers, compost and mulching materials enhance the nutrient level and encourage life-giving soil microbes and worms. The more you can use, the better.

Prune shrubs early rather than leaving them until they get too large to trim back. Australian native species, in particular, should be pruned back by about one-third from their first year in your garden.

Fertilisers should always be used in accordance with manufacturers’ directions.

Remove spent flowers from flowering plants every few days as this will prolong the flowering season. This is especially important in the case of flowering annuals but it also applies to many flowering shrubs.directions.

Keep the soil well-mulched all year. Mulching helps to minimise weed growth and this is important because weeds compete with plants for moisture and nutrients. Mulching also modifies soil temperature - in warm weather it helps to keep it cool and in cold weather it keeps the soil warm. A thick layer will also reduce moisture loss through evaporation. It doesn’t really matter what type of mulch is used - it comes down to personal choice. I prefer sugarcane mulch, but others opt for lucerne mulch, straw, tea-tree or bark mulch

For plants that require a regular supply of water, water deeply every few days rather than a shallow watering every day. A long, deep watering will encourage the plant roots to go deeper in response to the deeper moisture level.

Plant appropriate species together, such as those that require the same soil, light and nutrients.

Make your own compost. Every day there are kitchen scraps, so instead of throwing them away in the garbage bin, start a compost heap. The same applies to prunings - cut these into small pieces and place in the compost heap or bin.

70th Wedding Anniversary of Joyce & John Daniel

From left to right: Jessie Harris (nee Danieh), John Daniel (Jack), Joyce Daniel (nee Walker), Roy Danish (Dec)

Joyce and John Daniel married at Wesley Methodist church, Lydiard Street Ballarat on 17th of April 1943. They lived in the district all their lives, both attending Scarsdale Primary School at different times. John left school at the young age of 11 because he had to help work on his family dairy farm. Joyce attended Ballarat High School. They have five children, 16 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. They were childhood sweethearts, 15 and 19 when they met, being together for five years and then married during the war. Joyce was the daughter of the local blacksmith, Samuel Walker at Newtown. The blacksmith building still survives however, not in original form. John was the son from three generations of farmers. He went into partnership with his father to work on the farm after the war and five generations lived under that roof. They only had one night to spend together due to John having to return to his duties in the army. The pair now resides next door to their daughter, both still living at home. John built their house; they moved in just after the war and have lived there since 1951. In the photo below, the bridesmaid is John’s sister and Joyce’s best friend – Jessie Harris. Jessie now lives in Haddon with her daughter. John’s brother Roy, now deceased is also pictured in the below photograph.
