Attention Photographers and Artists
AN INVITATION All the community is invited to be part of recording our beautiful landscape between Beaufort and Skipton and down to Lismore
WHY Our LANDSCAPE is about to experience a major change with so many Monstrous Turbines (taller than Sydney Harbour Bridge and a blade sweep that would fill the MCG) to be built in our area by Goldwind
There will be also powerlines of considerable size to criss cross the landscape too
Our landscape will never be the same again (this is also happening to the majority of the western district)
You are invited to photograph draw paint write poems stories anything that records our beautiful landscape for historical record
I encourage all ages to participate
The first turbines are reputed to be built by August 2018 so we do not have long to get out there and do
In 2019 I plan to organise an exhibition or possibly two in Skipton and in Beaufort
I have spent many days travelling our area photographing our beautiful landscape
I plan to collate the photos in several books so the historical society has a copy and artists may use a book to work on their paintings (two people are already keen to get
started)
SO --DONT PUT IT OFF ---- grab your camera paint brush pencil or and get started Be part of recording history and the treasure of our landscape
Eugene Von Gherard recorded our landscape in the 1800s ( the exhibition is at the Ballarat Art Gallery if you are interested)

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

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

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

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

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

and if yoursquore able to help out with events during the day it
would be greatly appreciated ndash please let us know if you

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

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

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
heads back to Mount Pleasant Primary School next week
Best wishes to you and your mum Sharalyn

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our Senior Footballers have had a very ldquolow monthrdquo They
had a very competitive match against Glen Dunkeld level
at threequarter time but lost by several points The next 2
matches were disasters at Derrinallum and Lake Bolac This
week we have our neighbors Tatyoon and hope all the
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

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

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

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
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

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
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

would really appreciate it being done prior to assembly

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

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

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

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

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

had a very competitive match against Glen Dunkeld level

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

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
