In Agriculture, Year 8 students have been conducting fertilizer experiments on 2 different types<br />
of plants, Petunias and Marigolds. The aim is to see the how different plants, react to different<br />
fertilizers. The students have used cow, sheep and chook manure as well as Dynamic Lifter.<br />
Emily is pictured with the experimental plants.
What a magnificent evening on Friday with a very successful Debutante Ball.<br />
Congratulations to all of our debutantes who have quite clearly put in some practice over the<br />
past couple of months. Credit must go to Nikiesha for her excellent organisation of the<br />
evening. To have organised everything from the decorations to the attendance of Hugh and<br />
Judy Delahunty is a mighty effort.<br />
Our Chaplaincy programme each year likes to receive any feedback about Brian’s<br />
support at the school and we would encourage any parents to return the slip below to the<br />
school if they have any comment regarding Brian’s input at the school. Brian currently works<br />
in a number of classes as a support for students and teachers, accompanies teachers and<br />
students on camps, as well as assist with the Health programme at year 7. Response forms can<br />
be left at the front office and we would appreciate any feedback before next Friday<br />
We have finally worked out costings for the school bus travelling to school from<br />
Horsham each day.<br />
Students catching the bus from Horsham will be charged $<strong>12</strong> per week<br />
Students travelling from Quantong will be $10 per week<br />
Students travelling from Natimuk will be $8 per week.<br />
This will provide guaranteed seats for those students. Students who would like to casually use<br />
the bus to get to Horsham or Natimuk after school, the cost will be $2 to Horsham and $1 to<br />
Natimuk but will only occur when seats are available. Letters will be going home to bus<br />
students to alert them of the charges. Families can pay on a daily, weekly or term basis<br />
directly to Coralie, the bus driver. When Coralie is absent, the bus will be driven by Erich Vix,<br />
our technology support worker.<br />
The 24 seater bus to the Advance graduation this year is now full. We are also going to<br />
use our new minibus to transport parents and we have just about filled it as well. Costs will be<br />
approximately $20 per person.<br />

I would like to make the following comments about the Chaplain’s work at<br />

Everyone Welcome
Last week, the Year 9 SOSE students visited the Minimay Block to<br />
continue their environmental observations. They have been completing<br />
a rapid assessment of rabbit abundance and impacts on vegetation,<br />
photo-point monitoring and a rapid vegetation quality assessment.<br />
The students have been completing these observations under the<br />
expert guidance of Rachel Farren (and baby Nema), Bindi Lees and Ellie<br />
from Trust for Nature.<br />

On Tuesday 16th <strong>October</strong>, Anthony from Horsham Motorcycle Club came to visit<br />
the Primary students.<br />
He came to our school to talk to about motorbike safety, where the best places<br />
are for riding motorbikes and the importance of being supervised.<br />
Every student who brought a note to school, was able to get a free mini licence to<br />
take to the Horsham Motorbike Club, which entitles them to ride their own<br />
motorbike on the club’s dirt track.<br />
I think the best part was seeing Millicent put the motorbike clothes on.<br />
