Already a busy year, our Prep children are settling into their new school patterns. They are all so cute and gorgeous and we look forward to sharing their journey. After school sports programmes, (which are great fun ) run on Tuesday and Thursday, and permission forms are available from the office. Congratulations to Jay, Lain, Emerald, Bonnie and Codie who were excellent school ambassadors representing the school in the Cathedral Cluster Swimming. Our SRC has started the year with the Great Valentines Day Biscuit Decoration fundraiser. The SRC works to raise money for school activities & equipment, and for different charitable purposes. Our Grade 6 class is working weekly at Wallaby Creek completing a clean-up, planting and creating mosaics on rocks to beautify the area for all to enjoy.

Paul Daley, remarkably, has produced a book designed to the highest publishing values, where approximately 100,000 centuries are listed. But its not only a book of statistics. Over 125 pages of high-class cricketing action shots and premiership photographs help to round out this fascinating tome. Tons of Runs, a high quality 780-page cricket publication, is available for $80 plus postage from www.tonsofruns.com The author is pleased to sign, date and personalise copies on request. For further information contact Paul Daley at: pd@tonsofruns.com.au

trauma that the devastation caused. The reserve became a temporary village for those who lost their homes more than 300 in the town - and the clubs courts became a place where people could come and enjoy some healthy stress-relieving exercise with their family and friends in the community. The clubs membership skyrocketed from the low 30s to more than 70 in less than a year and it became clear very quickly that more courts were needed. Many hours of hard work, planning, negotiating and lobbying went into new courts and finally in 2011, four new synthetic grass courts were officially opened in a community event which attracted about 200 people including many of the clubs friends and supporters from Essendon and other parts of Melbourne as well as representatives of friends in New South Wales The club now has 108 members - from across the district including Strath Creek, Glenburn, Yea, Kinglake, Whittlesea and Kilmore - who can use the courts free at any time when there are no club-arranged activities. About 28 children from four local primary schools enjoy the Hot Shots program on Mondays after school. The program is delivered by Coach Colin
keys2drive
Keys2drive offers free driving lessons to learner drivers and their supervisors, with accredited local driving instructors. The Federal Government has funded 50,000 driving lessons through the program, which has been developed by the Australian
Flowerdale Flyer
Medi a
Relea s
Automobile Association (AAA), with support from the driver training industry. Many driving instructor schools in the area are involved in this free lesson program which provides support for both L-Platers and their driving supervisors, who are usually their parents or older siblings, to best prepare them for solo driving. Rob Mitchell, Federal Member for McEwen, said,
Unfortunately young drivers are more likely to be involved in a car crash. This is because they are not yet experienced driving solo. This is particularly true for drivers in the first six months of their provisional license. As a former tow truck driver and emergency service volunteer, I have witnessed first-hand the terrible results that occur due to car. The Keys2driving program
assists both learner drivers and their supervisors with the skills and information to make supervised driving practice more effective. It provides on-road technical skills and off-road learning with an interactive website, videos and educational games. For further information or to book your free keys2drive lesson visit www.keys2drive.com.au.
