to help community members connect with the digital world. The Digital Tech Expo was a fabulous way to bring community members and digital tech mentors together to provide the opportunity for improving digital literacy.

Community members are thrilled with the initiative and have found the sessions very helpful. Members have said they ‘learnt

more about driving our phones, computers and iPads also syncing our phones to our laptops when it is needed’ at the session. Other comments have included learning how to “back up my photos to my laptop so I don’t lose anything”, learning “how to un-sync our phones from each other as we always receive the exact message from the same person. Also how to delete

a message you don’t want without losing every other message”. All members went out with a smile on their face as they had all learnt something new.

It was also a great opportunity for people to sign up to the Be Connected Digital Workshops that are delivered at the Tallangatta Neighbourhood House. If people are interested in learning more about their smartphone or tablet they may wish to join the program in September.Be Connected Digital WorkshopsWhen: Wednesday 4 and 11 September Time: 10.00am – 11.00am Cost: Free

Digital technology is not the easiest to get your head around but on Thursday

the 29th of August Tallangatta Library and Community centre offered the opportunity to come and learn something new about digital technology or get help with it.

It was a chance for community members to get some assistance with things like apps and websites that they can use on their phones, computers and any other technical device. This information could help them connect digitally with family and friends online, access entertain or get help with any app that people may have been stuck with using. It was a fantastic turn out with over 60 community members attending within the two hours.

This event was due to a Community Engagement Grant that the Tallangatta Neighbourhood House applied for through the Good Things Foundation. Their aim is

Our Seniors continue to have their activities and now the weather has

improved we should hopefully have more seniors come along to our club.

We were to have a music afternoon on Friday the 27th September with a singalong and listen to some wonderful music but it has fallen on a Public Holiday for the AFL in Victoria so it is not suitable for that day. Hopefully we can arrange to have it one day in October. Possibly if we have enough interested we could have a Bingo afternoon on Friday the 13th as the numbers for music on that day were not enough for the entertainers to come along. We have our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday the 1st of October at 1-45pm and we would like to see more members come along as we cannot organise activities unless we get some input as to what you would like the club to arrange for the year ahead. We would like to see some new committee members but that does not mean you have to stay away from the meeting we would just like to see the interest shown to keep the club, somewhere you can enjoy the company

of others and also bring new ideas to the committee.

More little notes of interest from the1970 era.

The seniors club purchased a set of carpet bowls which they played in the Memorial Hall. Also a fund making item was the sale of rags which Mrs Ellis gave the club a cheque for $14.99 .

The bus outings were funded from the clubs trading activities. A special afternoon tea was held to celebrate the Golden Wedding anniversary of Mr & Mrs Marshall in 1970. Mr Supple moved that a letter be written to the Hall Committee regarding the block of land adjoining the Hall be used for a seniors club rooms. Mrs Goodwin suggested a change from cards to some other form of entertainment. The annual subscriptions in 1972 for members was 50 cents.

Some of these activities are still going today and it would be good to keep the club as active as we can to help it remain somewhere we can enjoy the company of other seniors so please try to come along and encourage others to join our club.

Herald Members:Getting to know who makes

the paper

Nikita

As most readers would know, the Herald is Tallangatta’s fortnightly

newspaper created through a partnership between Tallangatta Secondary College and the Tallangatta community.

The paper creates an authentic learning experience for students at the college and

teaches them real-world skills that they can use if they decide to pursue further work in design or marketing. It is also a way that allows students to give back and be part of their community.

Over the next few weeks we invite you to meet some of the Herald members.

How long have you been on the Herald team?

I’ve been on the Herald team for around a year and a half.

Favourite subject? My favourite subject is Literature - I mean

Herald.Favourite job in Herald?

Making the Kiewa River Gazette.Why did you choose Herald as subject? I needed to move out of another class and Herald was open, then after repeated nagging from my Mum I decided to give it

a shot and I don’t regret it.What do you find hard about doing the

Herald? Fitting things onto a page and struggling.

Is there anything you want to learn or develop in the Herald?

My ability to use Adobe programs like InDesign and Photoshop.

Nikita Cassidy is in year 10 and came to be part of the Herald team

last year. We sat down with Nikita to get to know here better:

What are your greatest strengths? I think my greatest strengths are creative writing and being able to remember faces

and names.Would you rather go 30 days without your phone or your entire life without

dessert?I would rather go my entire life without dessert because dessert isn’t something I personally need or have in my current life but my phone keeps me connected to my family and friends who live far away and I

don’t get to see often.

The Horticultural Society will recommence meetings on

Thursday, September 12th at 7.30 pm in the Seniors’ Community rooms. We hope that all members will attend as we have an interesting evening planned. Karen Bell will give a talk and demonstration entitled “Reuse, Recycle and Repurpose”. We hope that the ideas that she gives us may lead on to our display at the Show next year. All members of the public are very welcome to attend this meeting.

During September the Prettiest Front Garden competition will be judged. Hopefully the gardens will be looking resplendent with spring flowers and shrubs.

By now your roses will be putting out new shoots and the aphids will soon arrive and settle on the new growth. There are two schools of thought regarding treating aphids. Some professional rose growers advocate leaving the aphids alone as in two or three weeks after they appear their arch enemies, in the form of other bugs and birds, will come and eat them. However if you wish to spray them here is a remedy courtesy of Milton “Gumboots” Kimball. Add 2 cups of vegetable oil and 1 cup of dishwashing liquid to 1 litre of water. Mix 1 tablespoon of this mixture into 1 litre of water and spray the aphids. It is best to do this in the evening when the “good” bugs have gone to bed.

Those of you who have fruit trees or

are planning on growing tomatoes will need to be organising your fruit fly traps. Here are a couple of recipes if you plan to make your own traps: 2 litres of water,½ cup of sugar,1 teaspoon imitation vanilla, 2 tablespoons cloudy ammonia, 2 litre plastic bottles. Mix thoroughly. Pour 2 cups of mixture into a 2 litre plastic bottle. Cut 2 holes, about size of 5 cent piece, on opposite sides of the bottle halfway between the mixture and the lid. (Do this before putting mixture in.) Screw lid on bottle to trap ammonia fumes. As soon as trees are in bloom hang 2 bottles in each tree or among tomato vines. Replace mixture every 2 weeks or when it becomes black with flies. This mixture also catches mosquitoes, blowflies, cockroaches, house flies and coddling moth. The other method is to use the small PET bottles. Cut the hole half way up the bottle. Make a solution of one heaped teaspoon of vegemite dissolved in 500mls of warm water. Add some washing up liquid and pour into bottle. Hang in tree and replace the mixture weekly. There are also commercial baits available at Bunnings.

Round 2, the semi-final, is now on the calendar and will be a contest between our TSC team and a team from Euroa Secondary College. It will take place on Monday, October 21, as part of the program at the Rotary Club of Wangaratta’s normal weekly meeting, This ‘’middle ground’’ venue was chosen so that the “visitors” – Euroa TSC - are not faced with a two hour plus travel factor. The winner of this contest will go through to the final at District 9790’s conference in March next year.

The official list of Anglicans in the Parish has not been reviewed for a number of years and a review process is currently under way. If you are new to the area in the last five years or so and you identify as an Anglican please contact Churchwarden Graeme Aldrich on 6071 2544 to be added to the list.

Thirteen giggling girls, a birthday cake,

some sunflowers and several toasted marshmallows – those are the key ingredients of a successful sleepover.

Saturday August 24th saw the Starlight Girl Guides (the 6-8 year old Tallangatta Guides) participate in the state-wide Sunflower Sleepover. Guide Units all over Victoria simultaneously held sleepovers in their own halls, Skyping with each other as well as the State Team (State Leaders of Guides Victoria). In all, there were 648 Guides, 159 volunteers and 82 Units across Victoria, all snoozing the night away in their different corners of the state.

Sunflower SleepoverOur Starlight Guides searched the

showgrounds to collect sunflowers, which once collected, spelt out the words of the Guide Promise, before making themselves a beautiful Promise Sunflower to take home.

There is nothing better than the glow of a campfire, or the fun and frivolity of some traditional Guide campfire songs. Alice the Camel, Three Charcoal Buzzards and even My Highland Goat just never get old. Follow the songs up with some yummy toasted marshmallows, and you’ve got a perfect campfire.

Time to be tucked up nice and cosy in bed – as Leaders we even managed to get not a bad night’s sleep. Thank you to the girls for being so good and for making our sleepover so much fun.

SCHOOLS

Tallangatta Secondary College year 9 and 10 students visited three

local farms to look at Workplace Health and Safety as a part of the new Agriculture and Rural studies program. They are studying a Certificate II in Agriculture, with Wodonga TAFE visiting the school to deliver training. The students are visiting farms and other agricultural workplaces looking at what farming is really like – and possibly as a future career.

Greg Lenehan from Ernbank showed the students some of the risks in a dairy, and then the things they do to make the workplace safer. Matt Beazley at Gundowring showed the students how he has redesigned his yards to make them

safer and more efficient. At Crossthwaite’s property they looked

at more farm safety issues, and Stuart talked about the various Flight Zones (personal space) of animals as a safety issue. Understanding a cow’s flight zone will reduce stress on the animal and reduce the likelihood of injuries to the farmer and the animal. He also discussed how having quiet animals has many other benefits too.

Visiting real farms and doing farming activities is a vital part of this project and the help of local farmers is very much appreciated. The students come with their teacher Sharon Allsop and the farmer either shows them aspects of their farm, or has farming activities for the students.

Any farmers who would like to be

involved in inspiring and building the future workforce, by having a class at their property should contact Sharon Allsop at Tallangatta Secondary College on (02) 6071 5000

“What’s it REALLY like” Project

Tallangatta Secondary College

Book week has been no secret this year,

with staff and students banding together to celebrate book week. We

kicked off the week with our secret author orienteering course. We had over half the

Reading Is My Secret Power At Tallangatta Primary

school join in and have a go. Students had to track down picture book covers hidden around the school and use the first letter of the book to spell the name of our secret author. Paul Jennings would be proud!

On Tuesday we celebrated some more with our picnic with books. The teachers and support staff read their favourite

picture book with great expression and gusto to different groups. The cool conditions did not delay the munching of the fruit or the laughter and enjoyment of the many books being read.

On Wednesday the crayons might have tried to quit in the costume parade (oh, wait – that was the teachers outfits!) but the students impressed with their amazing costumes and spirited attitude. It was fun to see so many different characters from a huge array of books on display. Thank

you to the Tallangatta Library for your support of our parade, to Mrs Smith for your coordination and to all the parents who pitched in with the costumes.

We also announced the winners of our colouring competition – these will be on display at the Tallangatta Library. Staff and students visited the Tallangatta Library throughout the day when the weather was kind to us all! Jo shared some on the amazing picture books and novels that have been published this year and created artwork that celebrated the theme ‘reading is my secret power’.

And on Thursday, the SRC created superhero bookmarks with any interested students. Thank you to the SRC for your organisation and work – I hope you created a couple of extras for your families (and maybe one or two for me!).

It’s been another epic Book Week this year. Congratulations to all our students, staff and families for getting in on the fun!

SCHOOLS

At St. Michael’s, we teach with heart. Our identity statement speaks to this

beautifully, inspiring us all to greatness. The St. Michael’s Catholic Primary

School Community follows the Josephite tradition of being a learning and

supportive environment that challenges the landscapes of our hearts and minds.As a small school community, the staff at

St. Michael’s strongly believes in working together. Our communication skills mean that we are all working towards the best for the kids. With the average class ratio of 10 students to 1 teacher, our students receive support where they need it. Teaching at the point of need is incredibly important to us as educators. We are well supported as teaching staff also, receiving cutting edge professional development from the Sandhurst Catholic Education Office.

Given our small school community, our kids are also skilled communicators and with our guidance, have learnt to identify when someone within our community needs extra assistance. With a strong culture of treating others how they wish to be treated, our students are nurturing and caring. With an emphasis on teaching expected behaviours, our kids know what to expect from us each day, giving them confidence to shine.

We educate our kids to understand that everyone is an individual and as such, has different needs within the educational environment. Children are able to identify within themselves what helps them to learn and be successful.

As a Principal in a Catholic school, I often come across some misconceptions about what we do and who we are. Here are some common questions asked.

The Heart of the MatterSt. Michael's Primary School

We accept enrolments from everyone. There is no requirement

to be Catholic to attend our school. We do ask that families support the ethos of our school and respect the foundations which we are built. We take pride at St. Michael’s in educating the whole child and our Catholic ethos supports children to be wonderful human beings in this world with well rounded thoughts and the ability to help others. We are also actively Catholic, which means we follow the path of God and do not judge. We accept people for who they are and offer support and guidance where needed.

St. Michael’s is a Catholic school with our own traditions and history.

We ask our parents to support the ethos we create at our school. Our school was founded by the Josephite Sisters and we respect and honour our past. Religion has changed significantly from the past and

As a school, we do have fees. However we have a number of

ways to support families with this. We strongly believe that fees should not

The way we see it, we offer a much more personalised approach to both

learning and extra curricular programs. We have a strong working relationship with Tallangatta Primary School, so each term we access amazing shows for our students to attend. By combining our numbers for these activities, this becomes more cost effective for us. These costs are included in school fees so nothing extra is paid by parents.

We are also fortunate enough to work with the North East Small Schools Association for sporting events. By teaming together, our children attend Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming carnivals that normally we couldn’t facilitate independently.

As far as specialist programs go, our children participate in French, Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden and The Art.

Parent Feedback

Our parent community is incredibly supportive of what we do and why

they chose St. Michael’s as the educational institute for their child or children. Here are some of their responses;

“Leigh & I send our children to St. Michael’s for several reasons. Firstly, we feel part of the school family & we believe that you all care about our kids academic, social & emotional wellbeing as much as we do.

St. Michael’s is a small school – will my child have friends?

Some people view a small school in a negative way. We are in fact a big

family. We understand and respect each other. We know each other and we support each other’s strengths and weaknesses. With the number of students in our school and the way our students know each other, there is a different level of acceptance. We actively encourage our kids to embrace each other’s differences and educate the kids to understand how other children think and feel.

We also have outstanding ratios so our children get what they need educationally. With smaller class sizes, there is more 1-1 learning time and we cater for individual needs. Our teachers understand curriculum and differentiate for all students.I am not religious and I am

worried about this. What is expected from me as a parent?

Will my child miss out on opportunities because it is a

small school?

Do I have to pay fees?

Do my children have to be Catholic to attend St. Michael’s?

Secondly, I know they are safe at St. Michael’s. Any mention of bullying, swearing or undesirable behaviour is dealt with swiftly and respectfully.

Thirdly, the student teacher ratio provides ample 1-1 learning opportunities for our girls which could not be achieved in a bigger school.

Lastly, we believe that the staff at St. Michael’s hold the same values & morals as we do as a family, so it is reassuring to know that what we do & say at home is reaffirmed at school.” Fran

St. Michael's Primary School is a real gem here in Tallangatta. As you walk through the doors you can feel the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Children are nurtured, and creativity and individuality is celebrated. What I love about our school and what I feel is so special about it is that we have a place where children can thrive in a peaceful, safe and supportive environment, where teachers go above and beyond to ensure all students needs are met, without bias or judgement, and when any issues may arise they are dealt with straight away in a very caring and professional way. Our school prides itself on leading by example, and teaching values such as respect, compassion and resilience, values that I feel are of paramount importance in our world today. We have a team of enthusiastic young staff who are experienced, dedicated and professional, with up to date knowledge and fresh ideas to help lead the way into the future. St. Michael's Primary is truly a small school with a big heart.

JenniAt the end of the day, every family

chooses a school for a different reason. Some children need a particular environment to thrive. What works for one child at one school, may not work for another child, even within a family. We have students travelling from Wodonga to attend our school because of the environment we offer and the way those students feel within our community.

If you would like to find out more about what we offer, please give us a call on (02) 6071 2386. We would love to show you our welcoming and vibrant educational environment and discuss what we can offer.

at St. Michael’s we like to encourage all within our community to be the best person they can be, living their life like Jesus.

Sometimes parents are worried they will say the wrong thing or come along to Mass and do the wrong thing, but this is something we are keen to assure, doesn’t happen. Being a Catholic school for us means we accept everyone and are never judgemental. The essence of our religion is all about being people that are accepting of others, demonstrating care for everyone and caring for our world. We also understand the fact that not all people believe what we believe in, so we make sure we respect everyone in our community.

We teach religion on a daily basis, respecting that not all children believe what we believe. Individual thoughts are respected, we just ask that all families respect and support the ethos of our school.

be a barrier to attending our school. We also provide a range of ways to pay fees, including breaking the cost up to fortnightly, achievable payments. At St. Michael’s, we also have fee assistance for families who are unable to meet the full fee requirements.

Our fees include everything your child will need for the entire year – there are no hidden surprises. The only thing not included in fees is our fundraising activities including Project Compassion, the Day for Daniel Fun Run or the St. Vincent’s Winter Appeal. In those situations, we only ask

families to contribute what they can. There is no expectation to donate.

Our fees are distributed at the beginning of the year and include stationary and all excursions, swimming and camps. For families that need to budget, this makes their life so much easier as fees can be broken down for the year and paid as you go.

It was a slow start on another cold morning. The girls stayed in contention in the second and third quarters with some good passages of play. Some simple mistakes in the last and Chiltern were too strong. Congratulations to Gemma McCarty on shooting over 300 goals for the season. Solid plays by Kelsey and Celina Star. Thanks Beth for your quiet calm leadership.Awards: - Charlotte Mitchell and Gemma McCarty

An easy game saw us come away with a big win, moving us into 4th position at the end of the home and away rounds. We now focus our attention to finals and to make amends for the last time we met Mitta. Elkie Turner was a standout, Molly McCarty had a big game in goals and Anna Avery showed why she is part of the Team of the Year.Awards: - Elkie Turner, Molly McCarty and Anna Avery

After being the dominant side all game, it was great to see the girls

settle and regain composure when pressed in the last quarter and come away with a win. Anna Avery was outstanding, Elkie Turner was a calming influence around the goal circle, and Kath Fryer made plenty of crucial intercepts in defence. We now turn our attention to Kiewa, which is always a close and physical contest.

FOOTBALL

With the end of the home and away season the TFNC would like to

thank all volunteers who have contributed in some way to making each week flow as smoothly as it does. Jobs like these don’t

just magically happen, Team managers, timekeepers, goalkeepers, gate workers, canteen and BBQ workers, bar workers, coffee trolley workers, people who put bins around, hose/sweep out the often messy change rooms, umpires, boundary umpires, water boys, and electronic scoreboard operators sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone.

The club would like to thank all the club sponsors as well as the award sponsors for each of the 4 grades, players look forward to their awards and the club could not operate without good club sponsorship.

Thanks again.

Seniors: The day started badly with 2 injuries in

the first quarter. The boys rallied and led at ½ time and ¾ time, but inaccurate kicking and Chiltern’s persistence led to a loss, but a very commendable and hard fought out game by the boys. Mitch Seaton did a great job on the league leading goal kicker and the young brigade again really played well. Scott was great in the ruck again, Tyson Smith led by example, Joel O’Connell was again reliable as was Andrew Wood. Finals are next and we will give it all we have.

Best: Scott Spencer, Paddy O’Brien, Hamish O’Brien, Jake Maddock, Joel O’Connell, Tyson Smith.

Goals: Hamish O’Brien 2, 1 each to, Bailey McKimmie, Scott Spencer, Joe Ciccone, Luke Fraser, Sam Cannon, Tyson Smith, Joel O’Connell.
