OCTOBER 22nd
COUNTRY FAIR AUCTION OF A ‘BLACKBURN’ TRAILOR
We are all looking forward to our Country Fair this Saturday and the
weather prediction is very good. I would like to make special mention of
an incredible donation from one of our families – the MacGregor’s, who
own Blackburn Trailers. This family has generously donated a brand new
6x4 Heavy Duty single axle trailer with 12” sides, front and rear tail-
gate, 6” jockey wheel, 12 months warranty and made using 100% Aus-
tralian materials. A blurb from their website -
‘Blackburn Trailers started out in Blackburn on the corner of Pope St.
and Maroondah Highway back in 1956 in the early 90s it was taken over
by Mike Corbett who started ‘Austrailers’ A division of Blackburn Trail-
ers with the growing success of the company over the past 20 years it is
now one of the best trailer manufacturers in Victoria. Well known for its
quality work. In 2015 Corey MacGregor took over the company and since
then they are now recognised as the only trailer manufacturer certified
to use the Australian made logo due to the quality of materials. With
unparalleled service and workmanship Blackburn Trailers will be around
for many years to come.’
The trailer will be auctioned at 2:00pm on Saturday. My carpenter son
has informed me they are the best trailers. On behalf of the school
community we sincerely thank the MacGregor family for this amazing gift
that will help us to achieve a healthy profit.

PRINCIPAL’S NEWS
MESSAGE FROM THE COUNTRY FAIR ORGANISERS
We are still short of helpers on the food and all school stalls so we need parents to put up their
hands and help out even if it’s for just an hour! We also need helpers at both ends of the day in
setting and packing up as well as parking officials.. Please contact the office and leave your details.
COUNRTY FAIR PARKING
We are expecting many visitors to our school on Saturday so parking will be a problem. The Salvation
Army folk across the road have been amazing in giving us permission to use their car parking space
on the west side of Liverpool Road. An electronic messaging board will be placed on Liverpool Road,
north of the school warning oncoming traffic there is an event ahead, to slow down and keep an eye
out for pedestrians crossing the road. We sincerely thank the Dobson family who have allowed us to
place this message board on the inside of their property!
STUDENT PLACEMENT REQUESTS
If you have any information based upon education grounds that should be considered in relation to
the placement of your child it need to be sent to me in writing by FRIDAY 30TH OCTOBER.As situ-
ations change, previous requests should be resubmitted if the reason still exists.After this date, new
information may not be considered. Parents will be notified of placements in Student Reports when
they are sent home in the last week of term.
2016 YEAR 7TRANSITION PLACEMENTS
At different times during the year I’m asked what schools our grade 6 students will be attending in
Year 7. Below is a table showing where our Grade 6 cohort is going next year.
I would take this opportunity to urge parents of Grade 5 students to start looking at secondary op-
tions now as Grade 6 students are required to nominate their preferred secondary school by May of
each year.
OSH CLUB REPORT
I recently met with the OSHCLUB area manager who presented and discussed the term 3 report.
You may be interested to know that the average weekly attendance in term 3 was 22 children in the
before school program and 33 in the after school program. The term 2 holiday program averaged 35
children and the term 3 average was 31. Needless to say that OSHCLUB are very happy with these
figures.
