Students handed keys to the van KIDS at Nepean School want to give thanks to a group of unknown young people who created and donated a cubby house to them. The cubby house, styled like a van, was created by unemployed youth as part of the Envision Work for the Dole scheme. The team got to work on the
project after Envision was approached by Nepean School’s maintenance manager earlier this year. The house was installed at the Seaford school this month, much to the delight of the children. Nepean School is a school for kids with disabilities. The cubby house has been fitted out
with wheelchair wide doors so that all kids can enjoy playing in it.

Sunny days a welcome return to jumpers at The Pillars AT the first sign of last week’s hot weather daredevil cliff jumpers were back at The Pillars. The fence erected by Mornington Peninsula Shire last year to stop public access to Mt Martha’s famous natural attraction was dismantled months ago, but cold water and cloudy skies provided their own disincentive. But now, even with tougher parking regulations and the ongoing alcohol ban, The Pillars is
back in vogue. On Wednesday night there were seven jet skis parked near the base of the cliff and plenty of jumpers scrambling in and out of the clear waters. On Thursday, even as shire workers installed treated pine barriers and new signs, groups of youngsters were making their way along the Esplanade to The Pillars. Keith Platt
