Skipton, Vic, 3361

This Week’s Sponsor Colin & Joy Martin Thank you very much .

Learn to get your funding

applications right ARE you passionate about a project

but need funding to get it up and

running?

Corangamite Shire Council’s grant

application writing workshop is

designed to help you write better

funding applications.

Corangamite Shire Mayor Jo Beard invited individuals

and members of community organisations or not-for-profit

groups to come along and learn what makes a good

application.

“This is an opportunity to hear directly from the funding

decision makers about what they look for when deciding

who gets financial assistance, and who doesn’t,” Cr Beard

said.

“Presenters from Council, the South West Community

Foundation, Regional Development Victoria, Regional

Arts Victoria, and philanthropic funds will share tips on

how to approach funders, and the importance of building

partnership and networks.

“They will also explain the nuts and bolts of preparing

budgets and timelines that they consider when deciding

whether supporting a particular applicant is a good

investment,” Cr Beard said.

“If you’re seeking funding, you can’t afford to miss out on

this workshop because getting your application right can

make all the difference when it comes to getting funding

to turn your plans into reality.”

Participants will also be provided with lists of grants

available that might be appropriate for their particular

project.

The workshop will be at the Killara Centre, 210 Manifold

Street, on Monday 19 March, from 7 pm—9 pm.

Another will be held at the Moyne Shire Council

Community Services Centre, 16 Atkinson Street, Port

Fairy, on Sunday 25 March, from 1.30pm – 3.30pm.

To register, contact Regional Arts Victoria’s Creative Arts

Facilitator, Great South Coast, Jo Grant at

[email protected] or on 5568 0560 and specify which

location you’re registering for.

Light refreshments will be provided so please advise of

any dietary requirements.

Over the next two years, the farmlands between Beaufort and Skipton will be a busy work site as we construct the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm.

The construction of this significant project involves many people in designing, building and commissioning of Australia’s largest wind farm.

Soon, residents in the area will see increased activity on local roads and on and around the project area.

The construction of the wind farm is yet to commence.

However preliminary work, including surveying and geotechnical works have commenced and will continue for the coming weeks.

Works to commence shortly include:

Clearing of land for the main construction compound on Stockyard Hill Road.

Preliminary works on the dedicated wind farm quarry (located on Stockyard Hill-Wangatta Road)

Widening and upgrading several intersections in and around the Wind Farm area to allow for over-dimensional vehicle movements.

The works outlined above will result in an increase in traffic flow mainly along Beaufort-Skipton Road and Stockyard Hill Road.

To find out more information about the project head to www.stockyardhillwindfarm.com.au

Skipton Progress Association Inc. So is it autumn or is it still summer? - a very hot evening on

8th March for our Annual General Meeting and the

subsequent General Meeting for March.

The change of meeting date accommodated people important

to us, and we have decided to trial moving to the second

Thursday of each month, the next, April, meeting will

therefore be on Thursday 12th April, at 7.30 p.m. in the

Supper Room of the Mechanics Hall, we hope it will suit

interested residents, we certainly need a few more people at

our meetings.

Those at the Annual General Meeting elected the following

Committee…

President: Lilla Orton

Vice President : John Kavanagh

2nd Vice President :Donald Marani-Binks

Treasurer: Michael Sproules

Secretary: Sharon Andrewartha

Committee Members Val Day, Victoria Lovejoy

and Jan Murphy.

The Treasurer’s Report for 2018 showed a very healthy state

of affairs, especially, the continuing financial contribution of

the Skipton Community Newsletter.

We do see the Newsletter as a way of keeping Skipton in

touch with each other, with news of coming events and

reports of activities; feedback is very welcome, what would

you like to see in the Newsletter?

Things we would like to focus on for the coming year are

putting on another Craft Day in winter; planning landscaping

and tree planting for this winter; and getting something done

about the state of Montgomery Street, from the Beaufort

Road intersection, down the hill with the obscured railings

and the unofficial truck park that just gets bigger and bigger,

but is so essential to the drivers; across the bridge and past

the shopping centre, which has waves on the surface like the

sea and is an increasing danger to pedestrians and vehicles;

line marking is becoming more and more obscure and

confusing.

Council have filled their responsibilities with marking the

parking bays, the rest is up to VicRoads .

With the School holidays and Easter almost upon us, an

opportunity to say enjoy the break, and please take care on

the roads.

If your group has plans for April

dates, remember the Skipton

Newsletter does not come out in the

School holidays, so get your entry in

now as a reminder for the coming

weeks.

Where the gargoyles

are kangaroos…. It’s almost sad that the grand old building that is St.

Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, is primarily known now

for it’s iconic gargoyles – kangaroo heads that direct rain

from the roof.

Skipton’s original Presbyterian Church was a little brick

church built in 1857 to the North East of the Cemetery

(which explains why the original grand home still known

as the Manse on West Boundary Road is so far away from

today’s Church).

St Andrew’s was built in 1871 “to the glory of God” by a

strong congregation and with huge support from Francis

Ormond of Borriyalloak who contributed one fifth of the

whole cost.

Skipton owes a huge debt to Francis Ormond who was

passionate about education especially, and in his later life

was a benefactor of Ormond College in Melbourne and

Working Men’s Colleges in the City.

If you are interested in our Presbyterian and Scottish

history, a recently donated book will intrigue you, a

history by the man who was a minister at St Andrew’s

for many years and in 1891 dated his forword, The

Manse, Skipton. (from “Skipton Sketchbook” available from the Museum and the Post Office and the Op Shop in Skipton)

Everyone is welcome to come to the now regular Open

Days at the Skipton Court House Museum on the third

Sunday of each month.

The Court House Museum is Open

on Sunday 18th March

Visitors will be welcome from 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.

Skipton Historical Society members will be there to

answer your questions.

Entry is by donation and

there will be a “cuppa” in the Old Police House.

Please contact President Bob on 0 414 766 979 or VP Lilla on 5340 2043 if you have any specific queries,

or please, just come along to visit.

Principal’s Message

The swimming program has been completed. Thank you to

everyone for your assistance in delivering such terrific

instruction to our kids – it is great to use our local facility

and use local expertise. Thanks to those parents who were

able to devote a large amount of time to the program, and to

the teachers who are willing to get wet. Thanks to Di and

Amelia for coordinating the program.

Last Friday we had many students swim at the Eureka meet.

The teachers reported how well-behaved our children were,

despite it being a long day, requiring patience.

Congratulations to everyone who participated, and a special

mention to the 11 year girls and Cate Connell who qualified

through to the next round.

This morning we had Parents Club. The PC do such a great

job in the school with catering as well as fund-raising for

projects. Projects from last year included lots of new books,

office equipment, and equipment for the creative play. This

year they are also looking to contribute to upgrading the

facilities and purchasing equipment for your child. Please

consider joining as they are always welcoming of people to

help (the more, the merrier). PC is another way to meet and

build your networks.

I am very pleased to announce that, after a selection process

and interviews, a panel has appointed Natalie Clark as our

new Business Manager. Nat has already filled in for Karen

Bradshaw and has undergone many hours of training. She

has lots of experience in the service industry and we are

very pleased to have her as part of the team. A reminder that

we are having a farewell for Karen at the last assembly for

this term.

Finally, after working in the education for 19 years, I have

accrued some Long Service Leave. Sue and I are taking

next term off to tour the USA. We plan to spend time on the

west coast, visit the canyons and then go to the east to visit

my sister in North Carolina. We will have enough time to

head south, visit Graceland, NY and drop in on ‘Uncle

Donald’ in DC. Cate Elshaug will be Acting Principal for

the term. Cate has had many years’ experience as an

Assistant Principal, which also includes stints as Acting

Principal, so the school will be in good hands. A note has

gone home to Prep/1 parents about arrangements for the

grade.

Calvin Tromp, Principal

Sovereign and Eureka Division Swimming Sports.

Last Friday, 18 Skipton students travelled into Ballarat to

compete in the Sovereign and Eureka Division Swimming

Sports. We arrived and put our things in the limited seating

that had been assigned to us for the day. We put our Skipton

Primary School swimming caps on and did some warm up

laps. We had a practise off the blocks to make sure we

weren’t going to dive too deep.

Our first swimmers were Holly, Lauren and Emma in the

50m Freestyle. Emma and Lauren finished 19th and 20th

overall, in a time of 42.12 and 42.23 respectively. Holly

wasn’t far behind, finishing 22nd overall in a time of 42.89.

Our next swimmer was Andy, in the 12/13 year old

freestyle. He was convinced that this wasn’t his best event

but still swam well, reaching a new PB.

The next group of swimmers were the 11 year old girls.

Within our school, this is a competitive age group with our

trials being close for a spot in the freestyle. Within the

region it is also very competitive with some excellent

swimmers. Our girls swam beautifully. Cate Connell

finished 5th overall, with a time of 40.67. Hannah was close

behind on 7th, swimming 41.89. Sara finished 15th with a

time of 43.78 and Sophie finishing in a time of 48.38.

James and Hamish swam in the 11 year old boys’ freestyle,

both swimming good times.

The youngest competitors of the day were Ruby and

Patrick, swimming in the 9/10 year old age group. Ruby

swam an impressive time of 46.67, finishing 10th overall

and Patrick swimming his race in 57.22.

The next lot of swimmers swam some fantastic breaststroke.

Maddy and Alice swum in their first events for the day and

did a great job. Andy finished 9th, in his best event for the

day. Hannah (the super breaststroker) swam a 54.03 to

finish 5th overall. Lillian Barr also finished 9th and won her

heat. Hamish finished 12th in a fabulous swim.
