$6.9M GOTAFE funding to provide jobs boost SHEPPARTON locals will have access to more opportunities to get the skills they need to get a job thanks to $6.9M in funding provided to GOTAFE from the Andrews Labor Government. Minister for Training and Skills, Gayle Tierney visited the Shepparton campus last week to announce the funding from the ‘Stronger TAFE’ fund, part of Skills First, which will allow TAFEs to focus on training students. The funding will make sure GOTAFE has the resources needed to address industry skill gaps, deliver new innovative training and will help grow enrolments at the institute.

The $6.9M will also help GOTAFE’s campuses in Wangaratta, Benalla and Seymour. Shadow Minister for Training, Skills and Apprenticeships, Steph Ryan said, “This is no more than a cosmetic fix to paper over Daniel Andrew’s failure to fix TAFE. “Student numbers have declined more than 45 percent since Labor came to government. “This is nothing more than a cash grant to boost the short term liquidity of GOTAFE so they look like they are not in the red when the Auditor General assesses their finances.”

On Tuesday, February 21 Shepparton BMW went up against 15 other rural dealerships across the country and was presented with the award thanks to excelling in all areas of the business, from sales to customer satisfaction. On Friday, February 24 Shepparton Renault was named number one dealership across all of country Australia and was awarded based on overall dealer performance from new car sales and light commercial dealer sales, right through to customer satisfaction.

Dealer principal, Aaron Brain said, “It is great to have received back-to-back wins in 2015 and 2016 for our BMW dealership. To go back-to-back is just an outstanding effort by the entire team who work hard to grow our brand and strength in the region. “The Renault win is a huge thing for us for the fact we won the managing director’s award in our first year of operation and now this award is a huge testament to the team and to our clients. “For me personally to be able to say we have been awarded these awards is beyond expectations. “I’d like to give special thanks to all of our loyal customers and supporters and everyone who has been part of Shepparton BMW and Shepparton Renault.” Drop into Sheppa r ton BM W and Shepparton Renault at 8002 Melbourne Road, Shepparton or phone 5823 2940.

Aquaholics take on meander for last hoorah By David Lee AFTER hitting the water to take on the Murray River for the past six years, the local Aquaholics team have just completed their final ever leg of the Murray Charity Meander. This year, Andrew and Linda Prentice, Tom Garrett, Tom Brain, Mike Osmond and first timer, Tony Walshe entered the water in Mildura on Saturday, February 25 and took on the 11 locks alongside 18 other boats to enjoy the fun, and often hysteria, created by participants, supporters and onlookers during the meander, with the team adding an extra $30,000 to their total tally of more than $140,000 for the OTIS Foundation during the six years. Aquaholics team member, Linda Prentice said, “This year we had lots of fundraising along the way. One team ran a fishing competition, one ran a standup paddle board competition and of course there were sales of raffle tickets along the river. Our team painted aqua and hot pink nail polish and

Page 4 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1344 Wednesday, March 8, 2017

charged $1 a nail, or $10 not to have them painted! We also had a challenge where we had people put money up to see if we can paint someone’s nails who didn’t want them done! We made $800 last year from painting nails alone. “On Wednesday last week, we ran a pirate day where we dressed up and scared a few souls along the river. We sold a few raffle tickets under threat of walking the plank. “Our fundraising efforts this year came from a mighty team effort and we’d like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to the Shepparton businesses and community who supported us. “For the final leg we aimed to cross Lake Alexandrina on Saturday morning to the mouth near Goolwa. Three years ago it was too rough for us to cross the lake itself. “Our final dinner was on Saturday night in Victor Harbour where we had our final farewell as a team. “I’m in the Horizon Committee so will continue next year by land.”

THERE will be an all new Tatura Cup in 2017, with the event seeing a new date and a new major sponsor announced. The cup will become part of the world-famous Spring Racing Carnival, set to be run on Saturday, September 23, and will have the backing of Ladbrokes, one of the world’s leading betting companies. The Tatura & Shepparton Racing Club has worked with Racing Victoria to shift the cup from its current date in March. Tatura & Shepparton Racing Club chairman, Mick Toll said the new date would be a big positive for the club and its cup day. “We at the club are very excited by this date shift and believe it places the club in a position to attract bigger crowds in the coming years. “It also marries in with a better racing schedule for next season.” Racing Victoria has not yet finalised race dates for the 2017/2018 season, but in the first round of the draft dates Tatura has secured Saturday, September 23 as the Ladbrokes Tatura Cup, Monday, October 16 as the Monday Race Day and Sunday, December 10 as the Italian Plate Day. The club will no longer run its cup meeting on Sunday, March 19, with the Ladbrokes Race Day to take its place. Tatura & Shepparton Racing Club manager, Jon Dight said they wanted to focus their efforts on building towards a successful spring meeting. “Rather than having two cups in the same calendar year, we thought it would be prudent to concentrate all our efforts on the new date,” he said. The club is still taking bookings for Sunday, March 19, including the Maloney Room lunch function. Cost for the lunch function is at $145 per person and includes admission to the course, reserved seating in the air conditioned Maloney Room, gourmet three course luncheon, Punters Club and host. Bookings can be made at https://country.racing.com/taturashepparton or by phoning 1300 139 402.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE SPORT… Nitro Circus’ freestyle star, Blake ‘Bilko’ Williams wows crowds all over the world with his death defying stunts. Photo: Supplied.

Nitro Circus is revving into Shepparton By Nicholise Garner I GOT the opportunity to have a chat to one of Nitro Circus’ Freestyle stars Blake ‘Bilko’ Williams who has been a part of the Nitro Circus team for more than 10 years now. This Australian born performer comes across as a big kid with a very comfortable and natural approach. He has travelled around the world on the back of his sheer talent and no doubt his cheeky personality has helped. The mother in me can’t help but wonder how these guys stay safe, considering their hectic schedules and the death defying tricks they perform on a daily basis, I wondered how they manage to stay alert. Just 32 years old, Bilko refers to himself as one of the ‘old guys’ on the team and says he leaves learning the new tricks up to the young ones. Bilko said, “The fear is always there and as I’m getting older I let the younger, newer guys path the way with the new tricks. I stick to what I know, once you start second guessing yourself, you have to say, that trick’s not for me. The most dangerous time really is when we’re jet lagged but otherwise, we take care to get a good nights rest.” Bilko said, “I’ve been riding and travelling together with my friends now for

Page 18 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1344 Wednesday, March 8, 2017

more than 10 years and I love it. For me I like to be at every show and I want to be on two wheels for as long as possible.” Bilko told me that he used to race here at the Shepparton Motocross for the Victorian titles and we spoke about how there are quite a few Australians in the Nitro Circus. Bilko said, “It’s fair to say that Aussies are the best Motocross riders in the world. Nine of twelve medals at the Texas X Games were won by Australians. We got a clean sweep (gold, silver and bronze) in Freestyle for best trick and silver and bronze in quarter pipe, and Shepparton grown Jarrod ‘McFlurry’ McNeil is the defending X Games gold medalist for Whip.” Bilko said, “Whether you’re an action sports fanatic or just like riding your BMX, you’ll love the show. We start off the show with the smaller stuff, teaching and showing the audience along the way with replays and commentary and the show builds and builds until the audience is on the edge of their seat.” Nitro Circus is coming to Shepparton M a rch 19.

Airport relocation report to be released LAST week, representatives from the Committee for Greater Shepparton, council’s economic development department and the Shepparton Aerodrome Committee visited Toowoomba’s Wellcamp Airport to look at its current operations and how those may be transferred over to what could be done with the Shepparton Airport. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem said, “A regional airport with international capacity is a natural move here in Shepparton. “We have a strong manufacturing sector in the Greater Shepparton region and it would be of huge benefit “Council has identified possible locations for the airport’s relocation and conversations have started surrounding the acquisition of land in order to move forward with this project.” Committee for Greater Shepparton CEO, Sam Birrell said, “We went to Toowoomba for the Freight Logistics Symposium, which highlighted some different projects that are of interest to us. “One was the Second Range Crossing which is the Toowoomba Bypass. This is similar to the GV Bypass project. It has been started and is at a stage where we’d like to see the GV Bypass at. “We were also interested in the Inland Freight Rail. We were strongly in support of National Trunk Rail because they are in support of including Shepparton in the southern part of the

Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail project. “Joining myself was had the C4GS chair, Rob Priestly, Geraldine Christoe from council’s economic development department and Shepparton Airport Committee chair, Ken Muston. It was a great opportunity for us all to view the options available for the Shepparton Airport. “I do think we need regular passenger flights coming in and out of Shepparton. “The Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba is an amazing facility with direct passenger flights to major cities and cargo flights to Hong Kong. “The economic benefits of having air freight and passenger flights in Shepparton would be huge. Businesses could have corporate leaders get to Shepparton easily and it would boost tourism. There are also political benefits as politicians could visit Shepparton directly. “Air freight could be beneficial in Shepparton, but there does need to be more research done on the viability of that.” Do you have a story you would like to share with us or want to pass along a tip-off on something happening around the Goulburn and Murray Valleys?

The Climate Adaptation Plan will support council adapt to climate risks in relation to council infrastructure, service delivery, population and agriculture and industry in our region. The development of a Climate Adaptation Plan was a key action in council’s

Environmental Sustainability Strategy and Energy Reduction Plan which aims to reduce council’s greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2020, to reduce council’s climate impact. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem said climate change posed a real and significant risk to council’s services, infrastructure and the community. “We have seen in recent times a number of extreme weather events which are already

impacting council and the community. We saw extreme rainfall throughout Winter and Spring, which resulted in temporary road closures and significant repair costs. “This plan means that council will be better equipped to manage these significant events which are likely to become more frequent over time,” Cr Adem said. The plan is available on council’s website www.greatershepparton.com.au

Wilmot Road Primary School celebrates

CELEBRATING FIVE DECADES… Wilmot Road Primary School is celebrating 50 years of providing high quality education to the local community. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

Educating a community IT WAS in 1967 that the doors first opened to what has become one of the many primary schools that have engrained themselves as such an important part of the Greater Shepparton region, and in just a couple of weeks, Wilmot Road Primary School will be celebrating its 50 year anniversary. Wilmot Road Primary School started with 300 students and while over time those numbers have fluctuated from around 708 to the current enrolment of 295 students, each student has left after having been provided with the highest quality learning, support and instilled with skills to meet their future goals.

During the past 50 years many staff have passed through the school’s doors, each bringing their own talents to instil a love of learning in students. Wilmot Road Primary School’s successive school councils, parents’ clubs and volunteers have guided and defined policy, actively raised funds and sourcing grants to expand the buildings and structures including a community hall, playground equipment and shade structures, state-of-the-art technology, new art room, maintained buildings and provided educational learning resources.

Principal, Jenny Manuel said, “The 50 year celebration is exciting as it means nostalgic memories to us all. “Wilmot Road Primary School has always been a proud partner with its community and parents providing great learning experiences and opportunities. “Together we have assisted students to learn and grow into responsible citizens. “We do not know what the future 50 plus years will bring but we do know that our school will be at the forefront of education and learning, positively and creatively servicing our community as it always has done.”

A school’s greatest asset ONE OF a school’s greatest assets is its teachers. The dedication and care they put into a child’s education can be priceless. At Wilmot Road Primary School, there have been many fantastic teachers come and go, each of who have had a great impact on the students they taught. Then there are some who are still there after many years. Cathrine Armstrong and Carol Davidson are two such staff members. children getting along together and playing CATHRINE ARMSTRONG Having been a part of the Wilmot Road happily. “The best thing about the school would Primary School family for 39 years, Cathrine commenced as a parent of students at the have to be our wonderful staff that make school and has, over the years, been involved many sacrifices to help our students’ learning in the Parents’ Club (secretary), School and experiences pleasurable.

interest in this area. “Over the years class sizes have decreased considerably and technology has enhanced children’s learning significantly. “I love seeing the growth of students’ development, particularly in the arts as they progress through the years.”

Get to know what we have to offer THE REGULAR CURRICULUM Wilmot Road Primary School follows the Victorian Curriculum, and like all state schools includes as standard teachings in English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Physical Education, the Arts, Languages (Italian), Technology (with a huge emphasis on coding) and building student capacity in leadership, intercultural learning, civics and citizenship. TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM Grade 5/6 students are working on digital technologies. They have their own netbook computers that they use daily in their classrooms and are also involved in coding and computational thinking classes. At present they are learning how to add scripts within a program called Scratch and will be showcasing their finished work later in the term. Children will then be able to further their interests by joining a global group called Code Club, which will be initiated at the school from term 2. Junior grades are taught how to program simple robots and experiment with different coding language. They all have their own touch screen tablet/netbook device called an XO that they use in their classrooms every day as well as a weekly specialist technology session. A big feature of the technology program

is an e-safety program, which involves all students learning about online and offline safety. Cyberbullying and internet safety are taught as well as the importance of the digital footprint. Children also learn about social media and the impact that over sharing can have. The school also extends its safety unit to incorporate the Daniel Morcombe curriculum of child safety.

MULTICULTURAL INCLUSION Shepparton has always been multicultural and Wilmot Road Primary School opens its doors to each family regardless of culture including Greeks, Turkish, Italians, Arabic, Afghan, Samoan and African. The school acknowledges every cultural group and holds celebrations across each culture such as Christmas, Easter, Eid and Ramadan to name a few.

PARENTS, SCHOLARSHIPS, PLAYGROUPS AND HOMEWORK Parent courses including learning English are run in partnership with ACE. The school offers a unique scholarship and junior ambassadorship program with 11 partners from the community, including businesses and education partners. There is strong teaching and learning in literacy, numeracy and science with additional support programs for students requiring help and to extend gifted learners. There are also three playgroups conducted, which are coordinated by a kinder teacher each week to assist families with the early learning skills of their 0-5 year olds. This program is also a social activity for mums. Two weekly after school homework clubs are also run to assist students in completing learning and reading with adults trained to help.

Grunt, power and motor vehicle greats on show MOTOR SHOW SUCCESS… The Shepparton Motor Museum and Collectibles fifth birthday celebration and fourth annual Motor Show was a huge success, with approximately 2,000 people in attendance. Photos: Geoff Adams.

WITH grunt, power and a showcase of some of the greatest cars spanning decades, the recent Shepparton Motor Museum and Collectibles fifth birthday celebrations and fourth annual Motor Show were a huge success. More than 400 car exhibitors, 80 to 100 motorbike exhibitors and approximately 2,000 people attended the motor show, which offered plenty to do including market stands, the purchase of merchandise, a barbeque, jumping castle for children, and a presentation done by Shannon Super Rig, who awarded 10 trophies to exhibitors. Sheppa r ton Motor Mu seu m a nd Collectibles museum curator, Graeme Balfour

said, “This year was an improvement on last year and numbers were up. “We had people from Thagoona, Gippsland, Melbourne, Bendigo and Finley as well as locals. “Many who attended stayed for the whole show, which was pleasing to see. “There was a mixture of all vehicles, from veteran and vintage cars, a few old trucks and muscle cars right through to late model vehicles. “From the feedback we have received we have a few things in place to make improvements on next year’s event. We are looking forward to next year’s event and have already had quite a lot of interest from clubs.” The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1344 Wednesday, March 8, 2017 – Page 25

The Northern Lights 1

1. HO HO HO… This is Santa’s house where you can meet Santa and send a post card back home. 2. A PRIVALIDGED EXPERIENCE… The spectacle of the Northern Lights is just amazing. Emma and Leonie felt privileged to experience the phenomenon. Photo taken by guide, Matias Penttinen. 3. TAKE A RIDE… The reindeer were really friendly. Just hitch up a sled and off you go. 4. A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE… Snow sledding with a Husky is great fun and a special experience. 4

FOR Emma Hofmeyer and Leonie Harris of Shepparton it was on their bucket list to visit Finland and see the Northern Lights. Leonie had been fascinated by the lights for many years and finally convinced Emma to make the trip to see them. Flying via Singapore, they landed in Helsinki before travelling onto Ivalo then Kakslauttenen resort where they had a glass igloo. You could see through the roof and it was a great way to view the night sky and the Northern Lights. They were there for three nights but each night it was overcast, so no lights in the sky. The resor t had lots to do with its wooden Finnish saunas, snow sledding with Huskies, riding snowmobiles and the opportunity to sample some great food. Emma said the salmon was so fresh it was wonderful, and you could wash it down with hot blueberry juice and dark rye bread. Their next stop was Inari in Finnish Lapland, where they visited a Sami Village and met with the local indigenous people. Their accommodation was in an old school house on the edge of a frozen lake. The school building had been converted into a lodge. That night they headed out onto the frozen lake in snowmobiles and as they travelled across the lake there they were, the Northern Lights up above. Emma and Leonie could not believe their eyes. The whole night sky was covered with the greenish glow. There was a special feel to the experience. In Finnish mythology it’s said the lights are caused by an arctic fox swishing its tail across the night sky. Sometimes the light may only appear for a few minutes but that night it was out to play and danced across the sky for three hours. Emma said it was just incredible. The actual cause of the lights is not known but it’s thought it is caused by the solar winds interacting with the Earth’s atmosphere. It was cold out on the frozen lake, but their guide Matias assured them that this was in Finnish terms a heat wave…it was Page 26 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1344 Wednesday, March 8, 2017

only minus 13. The week before it had been minus 29. They stayed for three nights and the Northern Lights appeared on two of the three. It was just wonderful. During the day they went exploring in the forest and found the rare wild grouse reindeer and fitted with snow shoes they went walking through the snow, which can be hard work. Leaving the lodge, they took a bus South to Rovaniemi to visit Santa’s home. Rovaniemi was raised to the ground during WW11 but it was slowly rebuilt and became Santa’s home. Emma and Leonie met Santa and had a photo taken with him. Emma was quick to point out that she had been very good and so had her nephews so they might get something nice next Christmas. You can also send postcards from Santa’s home to anywhere in the world and people come from all over the world to do just that. They then took a ride on a snowmobile along a frozen river and visited a reindeer farm. It’s a great tourist attraction where you can get your reindeer drivers licence. The licence is valid for five years and you can hitch up a sled to a reindeer and drive away. Emma and Leonie said it was a lot of fun. They made their way back to Helsinki where they spent a few days exploring the city’s attractions. It’s easy to get around on the trams just like Melbourne. It was a wonderful holiday. The air is pristine and the Finnish people are so free. It’s definitely not a ‘nanny state.’ The ‘Fins’ will explain how it works and then it is up to you. They say things like that’s a sled, there are the huskies to pull the sled and then it’s all up to you. Now that the Northern Lights are off the bucket list, what’s next? Well Emma always wanted to visit Easter Island and those giant statues. It looks like that’s on the list for next year. Emma and Leonie would like to thank Lauren from Lyn McNaught Travel in

Mooroopna for doing such a fantastic job in arranging everything. Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance

T HE Redbull Neymar Jr’s Five Side comp e t it ion w i l l b e cha rg i ng i nto Sheppa r ton on M ay 21, when t he exciting qualifier kicks off at the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct’s new soccer fields. Off the back of last year‘s successful event series in Australia, Neymar Jr’s Five qualifier events will be exploding across seven states and territories starting April 1, with 38 events planned and more than 3,500 participants expected, and the Shepparton event running from 2pm to 5pm on May 21. The event will culminate with the national finals in Melbourne on June 10, to decide the Australian national champions who will join 53 countries competing for the global title in Brazil. Greater Sheppar ton Cit y Cou ncil Mayor, Cr Dinny Adem said that the Red Bull Neymar Jr’s Five Side competition will be a great opportunity to profile our region’s outstanding new soccer facilities and for our local clubs and community groups to get involved, raise funds and

build their capacity to host major events. “Red Bull Neymar Jr’s Five Side competition also helps build on other new major events confirmed to be held in Greater Shepparton during 2017 and 2018, including this weekend’s round of the World Tour Beach Volleyball Series which will see the world’s best volleyball players converge on Victoria Park Lake, MotorX Nationals in July, Shepparton Squash I nternational in August, Challenge Sheppar ton in November and the Swimming Victoria Country Championships next January. “Securing this event has been a result of a concerted effort by council and work carried out by the economic development department. “Holding events such as this further enhances Greater Shepparton’s reputation as regional Australia’s sporting events destination,” Mayor Adem said.

RALLYING AROUND LOCAL FUN RUN… From left, St Joseph’s Primary School principal, Paul Arnel, KidzFix Rally founder, Fizz Mayberry and Numurkah Fun Run committee member, George Lester. Photo: Julie Moore.

EACH year in March the community gets together and ‘hits the ground running’ raising money for a worthwhile cause during the Numurkah Fun Run proudly hosted by St Joseph’s Primary School. This year’s Numurkah Fun Run event to be held on Sunday, March 19 will be no different, with organisers announcing support for locally founded KidzFix Rally. KidzFix Rally was founded by a local group of families with the initial idea coming from local men Stephen Clark and Fizz Mayberry, since then the event has grown year on year raising money to improve the lives of sick and disadvantaged children both locally and across Australia. Fizz said, “This year will be 20 years of doing bashes for us, and over that time we’ve raised in the vicinity of $600,000, just our little team. “It was all Clarky’s idea 20 year’s ago. We had young families, we were self employed… next thing we’ve brought a car, put a team together and that was it. That’s what started it all.

“We’re very lucky with the support we’ve received f rom sponsors over the years and we’re cer tainly ver y appreciative.” Numurkah Fun Run committee member, George Lester said, “We chose KidzFix as our local charity this year because they are local and they do a wonderful job raising money for kids in need. Each year we try and choose a different local charity to support, in year’s past we’ve supp or t e d ou r emer genc y s er v ic e s especially preceding major flood and fire events which have impacted the town as well as the Numurkah Hospital rebuild. Supporting our local community is what we’re all about.” You can learn more about KidzFix and follow their progress at www.kidzfix.com. au or to be a part of this year’s Numurkah Fun Run you can register at w w w. sjnumurkah.catholic.edu.au or phone 5862 1804. Pre-registration is required by Friday, March 16.
