The Uniting Church Choir was photographed while attending the induction of Rev Youn Sang Kim in Swan Hill last
week. Choir members above are:
Back row: Julie Ramsay, Jan Watts, Jean Richardson, Elsie Mortlock, Ron Grimmet, Rhonda Heather
Front row: Jean Anderson, Carol Dodson, Margaret Price, Marg Davies, Joy Turner, Ivan Shrubsole.
As reported in last week’s paper Marie Lovel and Peter
Daly were jointly recognised for their long-standing
commitment to the community.
When Marie completed her nursing training, she had
the highest marks in the state, a real academic. Marie
then worked at Dunolly Hospital until her retirement.
Marie also assisted her husband, Lin, in the running of
Dunolly Funerals; they were a great team and still are.
Marie has served as secretary to the Dunolly Cemetery
Committee for 30 years and helped with memberships
and entertainment at the Dunolly Senior Citizens Club
where she is an enthusiastic player of indoor bowls.
Marie has also been a keen supporter of Dunolly’s
service clubs, sporting and academic, and has been a
great asset to Dunolly.
Marie said that winning the award was a shock as she
had no idea that she had been nominated, however,
Lin and the family knew that she would receive the
award and made doubly sure that she was present to
receive it.
Peter is known as Dunolly’s ‘go to man’ and he has
supported every local club and activity. He has been a
member of numerous committees including Deledio
Reserve, the Dunolly pool, Laanecoorie Dunolly
Cricket Club, as well as stepping in to help out at the
local RSL.
Peter has played the trumpet for many years at RSL
events while also running his family’s business since
his father retired.
‘It is a bit of a shock but I’m very happy to receive this
award,’ Peter said following the service.
Marie and Peter are great supporters of The Welcome
Record through advertising and donations and we
congratulate them both on receiving this recognition
of their unflagging work in the community.

ROSIE’S RAMBLE
GOOD ON ROSIE BATTY!
Going a bit architectural this week. Doesn’t the post
and rail fence around the Police Stables look great?
Congratulations to everyone involved in the work
there.
When I was in Maryborough the other day having the
car serviced, I had a whole morning to meander around
and just look at things. Wandered into Quincy Jac - a
gift shop next to the Bull and Mouth - it may have been
part of the hotel at one time.
There are heaps of lovely things in there, but the most
interesting thing about it is the actual space it
occupies. The ceiling is very high and is built like
parquetry - similar to the ceiling in St Mary’s. It is
highly varnished and looks magnificent. The beams,
which are also a long way up, are huge carved panels.
They are hard to describe - you will have to go and see
them for yourself.
Heard about a self-steering robotic tractor operating in
Japan. Some of the benefits are that it stays within the
boundaries of the property and turns at the end of the
paddock. Thank goodness for that - one would think
that these would be fairly necessary things for a tractor
to do. Beware the runaway robot tractor!
Some boat owners have a sense of humour when they
name their vessels. I saw ‘Cirrhosis of the River’ go
through Dunolly the other day.
Gadget of the Week This was in one of those booklets that come in the mail
full of very strange and marvellous things you didn’t
know you needed. These caught my eye - Mop
Slippers!
They look like those spider dusters, but you wear them
on your feet and they ‘grab onto the dirt, dust and
grime, leaving your floors sparkling’. You can forget
mops and water too - can you imagine fluffing around
in wet slippers washing the floor?
Another labour saving device next week.

THE WELCOME RECORD
NOTES FROM
OUR
COUNCILLOR
During the week, Dunolly received a brand new
community bus, it is a beauty. There are a number of
people I have to thank for their assistance: Fiona
Lindsay and the RTC committee; Steve Streeter from
the Maldon and District Community Bank; and Wayne
Belcher from Central Goldfields Shire. It was a great
result.
The first meeting regarding the footpaths and the
associated work that goes with the street development
in Broadway will be occurring very shortly. We would
like to see it all completed before winter, here's
hoping.

NEW REPORT ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN
AUSTRALIA
For those like me who are specifically interested in the
impacts of global warming on Australia, the CSIRO and
The Bureau of Meteorology have just released a welldocumented report on Australia’s climate. You can
find it at http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-theclimate/.
The report is useful because it shows how our local
flood and fire experiences fit within the big picture of
national climate change. For instance, the report
makes it clear that here in South-east Australia we
have had more extreme fire weather since the 1970’s
and that our rainfall has decreased with more of it
coming in heavy falls.
Looking to the future, the report says that Australia's
average temperatures have already warmed 0.9
degrees since 1910 and are likely to increase to 5.1
degrees by 2090 if no action is taken to reduce carbon
emissions. In that case, Mildura’s climate would be
more like Broken Hill or Port Augusta, while
Melbourne’s climate would be more like Wangaratta
or Dubbo, with days over 35 degrees increasing from
11 to over 24.
If this all seems highly unlikely, consider the sobering
fact that we have now had three years in this decade,
2005, 2010 and 2014, when we have broken the
record for global average temperatures with 2014
being the hottest year globally since weather recording
began.
Volume 30 Issue 3 Page 3
While the situation is serious, there are many positive
things that can be done by nations, states and
individuals. If your land-care group, service club, U3A
or community organisation would like a free
presentation on climate change that is positive, up to
date and tailored to your member’s interests and time
constraints just let me know.

SHOWER HEAD
Cynthia Lindsay asked about the Shower Head on the
side of the road at Simson (WR 21/01/15).
Occupational Health and Safety rules require that
where an employee may come in contact with a
dangerous substance, the employer must provide a
suitable washing station so that anyone coming in
contact with the substance can quickly wash it off.
There is a series of pipes and valves adjacent to the
shower head, so it would appear that this site is some
sort of inspection point that requires regular
maintenance.
Alan Larpent
SHOWER HEAD (TWO)
In answer to Cynthia Lindsay’s request for information
in the Welcome Record on 21 January, regarding the
roadside shower head. These are decontamination
showers for people working on the gas main or any
toxic site.
I hope this answers the boys’ curiosity.
Neville Roberts
TIMOR OR TY MAWH
When I arrived in the district three years ago, I was
intrigued as to the pronunciation of the name of the
goldfields town Timor. Being from Melbourne, I
mispronounced it as Tee-more, but was told by locals
pronounce it Tie-more. In North Wales there is a wellknown 16th century historic house called Ty Mawh.
The Welsh translation of Ty Mawh means big house,
and is used for many large old houses in Wales. Could
it be that our local Timor was a verbal naming by a
Welsh miner? When it was eventually written down, it
was spelt phonetically as Timor instead of Ty Mawh.
Purely a hypothesis of course, but I think it is quite
plausible. Our own town Dunolly was named after the
Scottish Dunollie Castle, and the spelling was also
different. I’d love to hear any other theories as mine is
purely conjecture. I’m sure our wonderful historical
society will have some answers. I do love a good
mystery!

GOLDFIELDS TRANSPORT
Goldfields Transport is run by Central Goldfields Shire
and provides a door to door community bus service for
residents of Dunolly and Bealiba who wish to go to
Maryborough for shopping, appointments or to meet
friends. The bus operates on Friday each week. If you
wish to use the bus you need to ring the Shire (5461
0610) and make a booking. It’s a great service for those
who have no transport or have difficulty driving. I used
this service to do my shopping when I had shingles and
was unable to drive. A great service and I met new
friends on the bus. This service is separate to the one
run by the RTC.

INTERSECTION UPGRADE
A notorious intersection where a Maryborough woman
died last month is earmarked for a $3 million safety
upgrade. The Lockwood crossing is set for an upgrade
to improve road safety and to install a roundabout.
VicRoads plans to begin building the new roundabout
later this year. The Lockwood crossing is situated
where the Maryborough-Bendigo Road meets the
Calder Alternative Highway.
The new large diameter roundabout would cater for
long trucks that frequently use the highway. The
upgrade would also include the installation of new
street lighting to improve visibility at the crossing
where a 58-year-old Maryborough woman was killed,
and another seriously injured, on 20 January.
Viroads regional director Mal Kersting said VicRoads
had recently started work on preliminary designs for
the construction of the new roundabout.
“The roundabout, to be built within the existing road
reserve, will involve changing the geometry of the
intersection to ensure it will be noticeable to motorists
from all approaches,” Mr Kersting said
“It will be designed so that motorists are encouraged
to slow down as they approach the intersection and
will include prominent signage.”
Vicroads told The Advertiser that during the five year
period ending January 2015 there were nine casualty
crashes, including the recent tragic fatality, in the
vicinity of this intersection.
VicRoads has recently met with some nearby residents,
including the Lockwood Community Forum, to discuss
the Calder Alternative Highway and the intersection.
“Some of the feedback is being considered in the
design,” Mr Kersting said.
“Once our designs are near completion, we will make
arrangements to meet with landholders that live in
close proximity to the intersection to share our work
and gain some local input into how the design will
operate in the local environment.”

DEEP CREEK
DUNOLLY SOCIAL CYCLISTS
Standing by the waterside of Deep (Tullaroop) Creek at
Carisbrook it is impossible to imagine this gentle
meandering stream turning into the raging torrent
which flooded the whole town a few years ago. Yet it
did, creating a nightmare for all Carisbrook residents.
Last Sunday minnows could be seen darting among the
reeds in the clear shallow water. Further downstream
saplings with golden tips blended beautifully with the
diverse greens of the many reed beds and other water
plants. It was really lovely. This natural habitat is home
to many creatures including banjo frogs, small water
birds and a variety of insects. Water rats and platypus
also live amongst the reed beds. Many years ago
Marion went with the Field Naturalist Club one night on
a trip to see platypus burrows along this creek. They
were rewarded for their efforts that night by seeing a
platypus. Walking tracks follow both sides of the creek
and make for easy walking. Old ropes were tied to solid
tree branches in several places and an old tyre perched
proudly on another branch. The lucky residents with
houses backing onto the creek must have some of the
best views in the Central Goldfields Shire.
According to the interpretative signage Bucknall
Reserve is named after a prominent Carisbrook resident
of the past, Les Bucknall. He was a descendant of an
early pioneering family. Along with wife Dorothy, Les
planted out many of the introduced trees in the
reserve. The walking trail was built by Ian and Julie
Carstairs of Carisbrook and Haj Mooney. It was
upgraded in 1998/9 and goes for six hundred and sixty
metres. The sign says it is wheelchair friendly. Across
the bridge is the children's playground and a picnic area
which was in use as we passed.
Further along the creek is the old log gaol. The sign says
it was probably built in 1851 and is the oldest remaining
log gaol in Victoria. One log has been signed by an 1860
inmate. Near it is a much more recent signature from
2014 which completely lacked the charm of the earlier
one. The gaol did house some notorious criminals in its
early days, including a police murderer. It was used by
low key offenders up until 1900. The gaol has been
relocated twice since it was built and has been used as
a horse sluice among other things during its long life.
We had expected to be about an hour walking around
Carisbrook. It was well over two hours before we left
and all we had seen was the creek and the gaol.
Carisbrook has more to offer visitors than we had
thought. The many historic buildings will have to wait
for another day.

Sunday 1 February saw our fist ride for 2015 take
place, which was a most enjoyable ride on mostly
unsealed, quiet roads with one section through the
Bealiba range state forest.
Our members were down as three families were away,
however, we were joined by Trish and Veronica for
the first time, both on new bikes. We enjoyed their
company very much and look forward to their
continuing presence with the group. An official
apology is due to Murray Hall who, because of a mix
up on our part about the start time, arrived too late to
take part, sorry Murray.
The next event on 15 February will be the first one
away from Dunolly; the McIntyre members are
organising a ride in this area in the morning, followed
by a barbecue lunch at Glynis and Brian Cain’s home,
bring your own meat. Time and details in next

THE WELCOME RECORD
BEYOND THE GARDEN PATH…….WITH MAZ
Today I’d like to take you on a walk up another garden
path. This one I walked many many times about 60 odd
years ago. It was a wonderful, magical place for a child,
a sort of ‘’lose yourself from the rest of the world”
place. It was the gardens on the corner of Thompson St.
and Maude St. here in Dunolly, where the Caravan Park
is now situated. It was known as the Soldiers Memorial
Gardens, but after talking to an old friend, who used to
go canoodling in there with his now wife of many years,
we both thought it was originally a Botanic Garden. It
fronted Thompson St. where there was a row of old
Cypress pines just inside a wooden picket fence, which
had in the early 50s seen better days. There were a
couple of wooden bench seats on the footpath side of
the fence, probably for resting during a walk to or from
the railway station. Quite a few seats were also in the
garden. The sides and back fence were of rabbit proof
wire netting, with several rows of barbed wire on top.
Inside the fence all the way around was a tract of land
about 4 or 5 metres wide which was overgrown with
large trees, shrubs, creeper and all sorts of growth, as
well as a small rotunda on the northern side, which
was covered with various types of greenery. There was
also a stand of silver poplars whose suckers’
predecessors are still on the same site today and
several clumps of bamboo. Inside this tract of garden, a
footpath ran all the way around, with other paths
leading from it to the centre of the garden, where
stood a granite memorial marker for the soldiers of the
first and second world wars. I have been told it is the
memorial which now stands by the Dunolly museum.
There seems to be little or no information on these
gardens. Do you have any? It would have to have been
planted in the late 1800s or for World War One
commemoration, as the trees were large and old in the
50s, the second world war having been over only half a
dozen years. The RSL used to march down Broadway
and Thompson Street on Anzac Day with the band
playing to hold a service at the centre of the garden.
There was a deep old broken concrete open gutter,
which ran down Thompson Street into an inflow on the
railway side of the garden and into the lake, or station
dam as we used to call it. I remember the large monkey
puzzle three on this side of the garden as well, because
I recollect getting the prickly leaves in bare feet and
probably more than once. The garden was well tended
and looked after by old Mr Angus, who used to take his
horse and cart down almost every day, loaded up with
shovels, rakes and so on. I hope there were others
beside me who appreciated all the back-breaking hours
he spent working there. And it would have been all for
4 February 2015
the love of it. No pay attached. Mr. Angus’s wife ran
the ice cream and lolly shop on the corner of
Broadway, next to the museum. They lived in the side
residence which also had a nice garden. Does anyone
remember where he kept his horse? I have talked to
several people who remember the gardens, but not
much more than me. Are there any old records of
them and does anyone have photos? It would be nice
to hear from anyone out there who has any
information and/or photos, as there must be people
who remember more than I do.
See ya!
P.S. Another memory I’d forgotten to mention, was all
of the flowering bulbs that appeared out of nowhere
in autumn and spring. I seriously think this place was a

WELLNESS CENTRE PROGRESSING WELL
The new Wellness and Support Centre at
Maryborough District Health Service is steadily
progressing.
MDHS CEO Terry Welch recently gave his hearty
‘stamp of approval’ to the plans for the new
Wellness and Support Centre for Cancer and
Chronic Illness.
“This project has been developed by a committed
and dedicated team at MDHS, for and with the
community” he said. “It is pleasing to see what
has been achieved and completed thus far”.
Mr Welch is keen for the centre to be an
environment that is welcoming for community
members. “There is still some work to be done
before the centre opens” Mr Welch said.
“We want to ensure the Wellness Centre is a safe,
welcoming environment that can be accessed by
community members of all abilities”.
The first stage of the new centre is nearing
completion. Next steps include the construction of
a ramp to facilitate easier access for people with a
disability, and a disabled toilet is to be installed.
The ramp will be constructed in front of the
centre.
Internally, the initial renovations of the first stage
have been completed. Most of the furnishings of
the new Wellness and Support Centre have been
chosen and delivered, with a few aesthetic items
still to be added. The final touches will evolve
from community input. The plan is for the centre
Volume 30 Issue 3 Page 7
to continue to develop and evolve in response to
the needs of the community.
Mr Welch sees the centre as an opportunity for a
different way of doing business.
“Our aim is to make the centre a less clinical
environment. We anticipate it will be a friendly,
comfortable place that welcomes community
members to call in when it is convenient.” Mr
Welch said.
“It should be viewed as a source of reputable
health information, a centre for health related
groups as well as providing some services by
appointment. The focus will be on assisting
community members with chronic illness to better
manage their health and wellbeing, and providing
support to their family and friends.”
The overwhelming response to the renovations
has been positive. Those who remember the
building as being the location of the former
Medical Practice, have commented on the
transformation.
Whilst there is still more work to be done, both
internally and externally, once work is complete
the community will be invited to help celebrate
the opening of the first stage and public access to
activities and service delivery from the centre will
commence.

Council ends roadside firewood collection
Roadside firewood collection permits will no longer be
issued by Council, after a report was presented to
Councillors at the January Ordinary meeting.
In mid-2011 Council commenced the issuing of permits
for collection of firewood from local roads following a
decision by the Department of Sustainability and
Environment to cease the practice of providing approval
to residents.
In direct response, Council developed a permit process
to facilitate the continued access for residents to collect
firewood from roadsides, with the established Works in
Road Reserve Permit.
Permits have been issued for a 12 month period and do
not include a limit on the volume of firewood that can
be collected.
However, during the past four years, the collection of
firewood along roadsides has been identified as an
activity that carries a degree of inherent risk and cost to
Loddon Shire Council. This, combined with the relatively
low number of permits issued over the last four years,
has led Council to withdraw all future approval for this
activity along our local road network.
Council did not come to this decision lightly. It did
consider the benefits afforded to local residents being
able to source limited quantities of firewood from
roadsides, in contrast to the legislative and operational
risks associated with the activity.
In making this decision to suspend the issuing of
permits, Council has brought Loddon Shire in line with
many of its neighbouring councils and the majority of
municipalities across the state.
Volume 30 Issue 3 Page 13
Council will honour all current permits, but will not
renew them as they expire. All residents should be
aware that conducting unauthorised works within
Council’s road reserves can attract penalties of up to
$1500.
In substitution of the former permit process from
Crown land collection, the Department of
Environment, Land, Water and Planning operates an
annual program, providing various locations of Crown
land reserves as community firewood coups. For more
information about the coups, visit the DEPI website:
www.depi.vic.gov.au/forestry-and-land-use/forestmanagement/firewood
Loddon assesses its performance
Loddon Shire Council is participating in an independent
market research survey for three weeks in February.
Residents may receive a household call from market
research company, National Field Services.
The company has been commissioned to conduct a
community satisfaction survey on behalf of Loddon
Shire.
Similar surveys will be undertaken across a number of
Victorian councils in the coming months.
The survey has been designed to assess the
performance of Loddon Shire Council across a range of
measures to identify ways to provide improvement or
more effective service delivery to residents.
National Field Services will keep all details and
individual responses confidential. Only the overall
results will be shared with Loddon Shire Council.
For more information, please call Loddon Shire
Council’s customer service centre on 5494 1200.

GIANT PINE SCALE – GARDENERS BEWARE
Gardeners can help protect Australia’s $1 billion
softwood plantation industry from a new insect pest
called giant pine scale.
Giant pine scale is a sap-feeding insect which can attack
pine, fir and spruce trees. Over 500 infested trees have
been detected so far in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Gardeners across Victoria are being asked to help get
rid of this pest by reporting any white, cotton-like waxy
secretions on their pine, fir and spruce trees.
Over the next few months, staff from the Department
of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and
Resources will be on the hunt for giant pine scale to
assess the spread of this pest – and the community can
help this work by looking in their gardens.
Gardeners can report any white, waxy secretions they
see on their pine, fir and spruce trees via the toll-free
Exotic Plant Pest Hotline 1800 084 881. More
information about giant pine scale is available at
www.vic.gov.au/giantpinescale.
Residents can also email photos of the suspected pest,
together with a contact phone number and the
location, to [email protected]
Victoria’s Chief Plant Health Officer Gabrielle VivianSmith said community support and assistance was
integral to the success of the eradication program.
“An urgent program is underway to help protect
Australia’s more than $1 billion softwood plantation
industry, and to help maintain the health and safety of
host trees,” Dr Vivian-Smith said.
“To minimise further spread, we’re asking people not
to touch, move or collect suspected samples or parts of
infected trees.”
“We are working closely with local councils, the nursery
and garden industry, arborists and related businesses
as part of the program to ensure all avenues of
identification and transfer of this pest are managed
closely.”
Trees impacted by giant pine scale suffer severe
dehydration and branch dieback and can eventually
die.
Most infested trees can be safely treated with a
chemical injection but in some circumstances may need
to be removed.

BETTER ACCESS TO
HEALTHCARE FOR WANNON’S VETERANS
Veterans living in Wannon will have faster and more
effective access to treatment for a range of disorders
following the Abbott Government’s expansion of nonliability health care arrangements, Member for
Wannon, Dan Tehan said today.
Mr Tehan said that under the new arrangements,
veterans who are diagnosed by a general practitioner
or psychologist with conditions such as PTSD,
depression and anxiety will be able to access free
treatment programs without needing to prove a link
between their service and their condition. Up until
now, access to non-liability health care was limited to
veterans who had a condition diagnosed by a
psychiatrist.
‘This is great news for local veterans living in Wannon
where it is much quicker and easier to obtain a
diagnosis from a GP,’ Mr Tehan said.
‘In our community, many people have strong and long
-standing relationships with their local GPs so this
initiative will make a real difference in ensuring that
our veterans can access these services quickly and
locally rather than needing to first obtain a referral to
a psychiatrist.
‘The initiative also recognises that early diagnosis and
treatment of these conditions greatly improves
outcomes for those who are affected,’ Mr Tehan said.
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs the Hon Senator Michael
Ronaldson said expanding access to non-liability
health care built on the Abbott Government’s strong
record of improving services for Australia’s veterans.
‘The Government previously expanded these services
to include treatment for alcohol use disorder and
substance use disorder and made changes to allow a
greater number of people with peacetime service to
be eligible for these treatments,’ Senator Ronaldson
said.
‘The key to good mental health is to take action early
and I encourage all veterans and veterans’
representatives to familiarise themselves with the
new arrangements and to seek help that is available.’
For any further information on mental health support
for veterans and their families, contact DVA or visit

As the Dunolly Primary School 2014 school year drew
closer to the end, our Grade 6 students had the
opportunity to celebrate their graduation from
Primary to Secondary school with a fun, family
orientated evening of Barefoot bowls at the Dunolly
Bowling Club. Although a rogue trampoline threatened
to bring the evening to a halt (by taking out the power
until after 7:00pm), we decided that the show must go
on and didn't let a little power outage stop the fun!
After a demonstration from some of the local bowling
club members, students and parents tried out their
bowling skills on the greens. Students took on their
teachers and parents, taking great pleasure in showing
them up on the green!
This was followed by a delicious spread of food
provided by the Golden Grain Cafe (who still managed
to bring the food on time despite an afternoon of no
power... amazing!). Thankfully, the power came back
on just in time for the formal part of the evening.
Grade 6 students had spent many hours leading up to
the day writing and rehearsing their graduation
speeches and all had the opportunity to present them
on the night. All students did a fantastic job; speaking
with confidence as they reflected upon their time in
primary school. There were many proud tears from
parents and teachers. Our graduating Class of 2014
were; Nick Attard, Emma Campbell, Jessica
Chamberlin, Jack Guelen, Thomas Jago, Tommy Lord,
Corrie O'Keeffe, Caitlyn Ray, Trisha Schnoor, Ethan
Spink, Ellen Stratford and Ashley Wright.
On the night, students were also recognised for their
4 February 2015
outstanding achievement across the curriculum, with
the following awards being presented:
- MEC Scholarship: Caitlyn Ray
- Highview Scholarship: Ellen Stratford
- Academic Award (Literacy): Jessica Chamberlin
- Academic Award (Mathematics): Ellen Stratford
- Academic Award (Overall): Caitlyn Ray
- Citizenship Award: Jack Guelen
- Auslan Award: Jessica Chamberlin
- Dunolly Hospital Auxillary Encouragement Award:
Thomas Jago
- Principal's Award: Emma Campbell
We would like to thank the Dunolly Bowling club for
allowing us the use of their equipment/facilities and
for their assistance in demonstrating and running of
the barefoot bowling on the night. The venue was
perfect and Terry Long and his team ensured that
everything was running smoothly. A big thankyou must
also go the Golden Grain for catering for the evening
and somehow managing to work through the power
outage to still get our food to us on time. By all
reports, both students and their families thoroughly
enjoyed the evening. Having a special night for the just
Grade 6 students, allowed our school to truly focus on
and celebrate the unique qualities and skills that each
and every graduating student brought to our school.
The staff at Dunolly Primary School would like to wish
our graduating Class of 2014 all the best as they move
into the next stage of their schooling. Goodbye and
good luck!

CODE RED DAYS
As you would be aware, a category called “Code Red”
is now part of Victoria’s bushfire warning system. This
decision was made following the tragic bushfires that
devastated Victoria on Black Saturday in February
2009. All schools, kindergartens and childcare centres
in high bushfire risk areas will be closed on days
categorised as “Code Red”, including our school.
Our school will not be open on “Code Red” days. The
school will be notified by 12.00pm the day before if a
‘Code Red” day is declared. A letter will be sent home
with your child informing you of any closures on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays. If a
“Code Red” day is declared for a Monday, parents will
be notified via a phone call on the Sunday afternoon.
We will also post this information on our new tiqbiz
