HADDON COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTRE SCHOOL HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES We had a great turnout to the special free arts day at the centre provided with funds from the Golden Plains Shire. In the morning sessions the children designed and made bowls and 3D figures. The bowls were stamped and aren’t they just fantastic! In the afternoon the session consisted of designing and drawing with waxed crayons that were then ironed on to pillowcases. All in all a great day of fun and inspiration!

The Ballarat Environment Network is holding a planting activity at the Haddon Racecourse Reserve, Racecourse Road, Haddon, on Sunday 27 th July 2014 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. as part of National Tree Day activities. Everyone is welcome to come along. The Network is particularly keen to have Haddon residents involved with the care of the reserve, especially now that there is something worth looking after. Over the past 10 years, the Network and supporters have been transforming the reserve from a gorse-infested nightmare into a really pleasant place to visit. Planting indigenous plants has been a key part of the work. Last year more than 200 trees were planted along the western boundary and despite the horrendously dry and hot summer conditions, close to 80% have survived and are growing very well (supplementary watering got them through the summer). Species such as the silver banksia that were removed during the goldrush provide excellent habitat for important species such as the striated field wren. Waterbirds are always plentiful on the old goldmining dam and the plains brolga is often seen in the reserve at this time of year - a pair was resident in the reserve for some months during late 2013 and early 2014. All plants and equipment will be supplied. Come warmly and ruggedly attired for the outdoors, with rainproof clothing handy. Solid and waterproof footware is essential and good, solid, hardwearing gloves too, although we will have a supply available. Bring water; again, we will have a supply but it’s always good to have your own. The reserve is little more than a kilometre from the Haddon roundabout and is located on the northern side of Racecourse Road. The small car park accommodates 4 cars; if we need more room (we hope so!), cars should be able to park inside the reserve. If anyone is interested in being involved with the care and management of the Haddon Racecourse Reserve, and particularly if you are interested attending the planting activity, please contact Network Executive Officer, Hedley Thomson, on 0428 027 895 or by email: hedleythomson@gmail.com. You are also welcome to just turn up on the day.

HADDON PRIMARY NEWS Congratulations to all grade 5/6 students who represented Haddon Primary School in the ‘Football Lightning Premiership.’ The day was a big success for both the boys and girls teams. The boy’s team won 2 out of their 3 matches, unfortunately just missing out on making it through to the semi-finals in a very competitive division. And the girls’ team completed a very impressive and successful day, also winning 2 out of their 3 matches and qualifying for the semi-finals. In convincing fashion the girl’s team won their semi-final and went on to play in the grand final against ‘Ballarat Grammar.” Scores were level up to half time, but in a very close finish the girls’ lost by 7 points to finish runner up in their division. Well done to all the students who showed tremendous leadership on and off field on the day.
CLASSROOM LIBRARIES DONATIONS OF BOOKS Haddon Primary is seeking donations of books for their classroom libraries. They would like parents to search their bookshelves at home for good quality books that their children have moved on from, but are too good to throw away. Picture story books, paper back, fiction, non fiction suitable for students in years Prep -6. Older siblings in the family may longer be reading the books they once loved and these can now be enjoyed by the next generation of book lovers. All donations can be left in the box in the ELC or on the table outside Ms Carrigan’s office.

Are You A Descendant of a WWI Veteran? Between 2014 and 2018 Australia will commemorate the Anzac Centenary, marking 100 years since our nation’s involvement in the First World War. The Anzac Centenary is a milestone of special significance to all Australians. The First World War helped define us as a people and as a nation. During the Anzac Centenary we will remember not only the original Anzacs who served at Gallipoli and the Western Front, but commemorate more than a century of service by Australian servicemen and women. The Anzac Centenary Program encompasses all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations in which Australians have been involved. The Program aims to give all Australians the opportunity to honour the service and sacrifice of all those who have worn our nation’s uniform, including the more than 102,000 who have made the supreme sacrifice. It also aims to encourage all Australians to reflect upon and learn more about Australia’s military history, its costs and its impacts on our nation. Excerpt from the website: http://www.anzaccentenary.gov.au/ This year the turnout for the 100th anniversary of the beginning of WW1 of the local people at the Memorial Park at Haddon showed that the people of the area appreciate the sacrifice of the men and women of the armed forces who gave their lives for us so that we may live in a free Australia. The organisers of the 2015 Anzac Service at Haddon anticipate a greater turn out for that service. In preparation for this very special commemoration local Haddon identity Chris Rigg has asked us to relay a message to any of our readers to submit any details of any relatives that they may have of servicemen, or women in the area to please conta ct him so that they can be included in the Haddon service next year. Chris wants to apologise for having too much on his mind at the ANZAC Day service to remember the names of those who came up to talk to him about their proposed involvement in the service next year, and to please phone him on 5342-4800 or 0427-742-177 so as he can record the names and details. If he misses your call please leave a message with your contact number so as he can phone you back. Also the names of the known local fallen in the conflicts that Australia has been involved in are as follows: 1914-18 ~ W.T. Beaton, Leslie Thomas Carland, W.M. Dunston, John Herbert Leopold Gilbert, James Leslie Greenbank, W. Hogan, A.P. Martin, George Victor Osborne, R. Sayers. 1939-45 ~ J. Nunn Vietnam ~ A. Flynn If you are a relative, close or distant, of any of the above fallen, a request is made to you to contact Chris RIGG on 5342 4800 so that you may be involved in the remembrance ceremony April 2015. Chris and the Haddon Community Learning Centre are also seeking anyone who may have memorabilia from WW1 and who can supply anything to display on the day of the service at the Haddon Community Learning Centre, Haddon. It would be nice to have the centre have some displays for this special event for those who attend the service to view after the usual brunch.
HADDON PRIMARY 25TH ANNIVERSARY In 2015, Haddon Primary School will celebrate its 25th anniversary in the new school building. Planning is in the very early stages and we would love to hear from anyone who might be willing to help in the preparations for the 25 year celebration. All members of our community, past and present, are invited to form an events group which will focus on collecting, collating and displaying memorabilia from both the ‘old school’, as well as the current Haddon Primary School 25 year history. The group in consultation with the staff and school council will also decide on the date for the back to Haddon Primary School 25 year celebration and the format of the festivities. We would also like to track down memorabilia from school life over the years – old photos, books, uniforms, sports trophies etc – to be used in a ‘ 25 years in the new building display’ at the school. If you have any items that might be of interest, photos of the ‘walk down to the new school’, photos of the old school please let us know. We are happy to scan photos while you wait so they can be returned directly to you. A meeting will be held on August 27 at 2pm in the Carpet area of the Haddon Recreation to start the initial planning of the event. Please contact Gaye Carrigan at Haddon PS 03 53424487 or email the school haddon.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au if you are interested in attending.
