Education Week 2019

12417875-RC22-19

This week marks the 75th year of Education Week, with the theme Celebrating Careers.

The week-long celebration is all about highlighting careers and pathways that will make students’ dream jobs come true. Among those celebrating Education Week will be the staff and students at Haileybury College.

This special 12 page wrap showcases some of the exciting things happening in the area’s most innovative schools, early learning centres and tertiary institutions.

Water skills Australia is surrounded by open water, and being in and out of the water is a significant part of our lives.

It's therefore important for both adults and children to learn skills to help them swim safer.

Paul Sadler Swimland offers classes from 4 months old all the way through to adults.

By 4 months of age, babies are able to regulate their body temperature for the duration of a 30-minute class.

It's a great time to start water familiarisation and a great opportunity for parents and carers to connect with their babies.

The long-term benefits to children who start swimming lessons young are huge.

A study conducted in 2012 by Griffith University - which surveyed almost 7000 parents with children under five - examined whether participation in early swimming lessons impacted subsequent milestones in child development.

The results showed a clear connection between children who participated in early swimming lessons with developing a range of physical skills and meeting a number of developmental milestones earlier than their peers.

Paul Sadler Swimland offers free swimming classes for four and five month old babies, so there's never been a better time to start lessons.

When to stop lessons can be a confusing question for many parents and instructors often hear parents say 'I'll stop lessons when my child can swim'.

This, however, is quite an ambiguous statement, which means different things for different people. Studies show many parents overestimate their children's swimming abilities and therefore exit lessons too soon. These parents find by the time their children finish primary

school, their swimming skills have declined.

Paul Sadler Swimland Swordy 1km swims are not only a great achievement, but also a great indicator that children are proficient swimmers. It's a great goal to aim for before exiting lessons.

Don't underestimate the risk or overestimate swimming abilities - make 1km you and your children's goal to help them be safer swimmers.

Girls and boys thrive together at Haileybury thanks to the school’s unique Parallel Education Model.

Both learn and play together from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) Program until Year 4.

From Years 5 to 12 they attend mostly singlesex classes.

However, girls and boys attend the same campus, take some elective classes together, share school grounds and socialise together.

This unique method of teaching and learning recognises the diverse educational needs of all students and the importance of boys and girls spending time together.

Under parallel education, learning and activities reflect the students’ age, gender and the nature of activities. ELC and Junior School (Prep to Year 4) classes are co-instructional.

Middle School (Years 5 to 8) classes are separate, with interaction for co-curricular and social programs such as musicals and produc-

tions, chess, robotics, sporting activities, assemblies and social and community activities.

Senior School (Years 9 to 12) classes are single-sex except where co-educational learning is advantageous. Each gender has separate study and recreation areas but can share a range of community areas.

Haileybury CEO and Principal Mr Derek Scott said exceptional learning outcomes are derived by having single-sex classes in the important middle years and, where needed, in the senior years.

“While boys and girls benefit from learning together in their early years, better educational outcomes are derived through single-sex classes in the important middle years,” he said.

“In the senior years, it is important to have a structure that supports the nature of the learning. This works best as single-gender in most classes, but combined classes are implemented when better learning outcomes will be achieved in that environment.”

On a voyage of discovery Developing internationally minded students is a vital element of the role of all staff members at Berwick Primary School. The values and attributes that are required to be a productive, responsible and caring member of world society are reinforced in staff members' work and behavioural activities. Students are empowered to develop a learner profile that cultivates the skills and attitudes that will meet their future needs.

Since 2013, Berwick Primary School has been an authorised school in the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years Programme (PYP). Its 'voyage of discovery' has been exciting as the school continues to see the impact of this global education program on student learning.

The PYP is an international, transdisciplinary program designed to foster the development of the whole child, not just in the

classroom but also through other means of learning. The PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs, in addition to academic welfare. The development of an inquiry-based approach to learning encourages students to take control and explore concepts and knowledge that relates to the central idea of each unit of inquiry.

Students are encouraged to balance the quest for excellence in their academic lives with a pursuit of individual interests and passions.

Berwick Primary School hopes that students who move on from the school are global citizens who take responsibility for ensuring a better world.

The college also believes that values and character are just as important as strong academic results to a student’s success in the future.

“Our bright, safe and friendly Early Learning Centre gives children the best start to their lifelong journey of learning. We run an Education Victoria accredited Kindergarten Program in a peaceful learning environment, along with long day care and out of hours care,” Principal Aiono said.

“Prep to Year 6 students are offered a wide range of subjects which enable them to explore their individual creative passions. Our comprehensive and stimulating program is based on the Australian Curriculum in conjunction with Victorian educational standards, delivered in a supportive and caring environment by engaging teachers.”

FOCUS ON … EDUCATION WEEK

Listen to the Spirit This year’s theme for Catholic Education Week (24-31 May), ’Listen to what the Spirit is saying…’, is taken from the Book of Revelation.

As our lives seem to become ever busier and noisier, Catholic Education Week is an opportunity to consider how we are being called to ’Listen to what the Spirit is saying’. This expression is not about superficial listening but, rather, deep listening which invites the opportunity for something special to emerge in our minds and hearts. We are invited to look to Jesus, look to the Gospel and trust in the Spirit as we imagine, reflect….. and listen.

Director of Catholic Education, Maria Kirkwood, encourages everyone involved in Catholic education to follow the example of Jesus by listening to the Holy Spirit in the everyday moments of our lives.

“During Catholic Education Week we are all invited to listen with open and humble hearts.

It’s through listening, to our own thoughts and to the wisdom of others, that we may hear the Spirit’s message and be uplifted and renewed by it. May we respond to this invitation with our hearts afire, and be examples of love and peace to others,“ Ms Kirkwood said.

“I hope that families, parishes and schools embrace this special time. I pray that schools across the Diocese continue to be harmonious places of guidance and accompaniment where people can listen to the Spirit in their daily lives and be supported to bring to fruition the opportunities this presents, so that we can make present the Kingdom of God here and now,” she said.

Ms Kirkwood said ’Listen to what the Spirit is saying…’ is a theme that will be familiar to many Catholics as it’s also the theme for the current Plenary Council, a formal gathering of all Catholic churches in Australia.

“The Plenary Council will be a defining mo-

All Catholic parishes and school communities, including students, families and staff have been invited to participate in the Plenary.

Celebrating Catholic Education

“Catholic Education Week offers all 44 schools in the Diocese of Sale the opportunity to celebrate their Catholic identity and unique mission. It’s a highlight of the year, and we invite everyone to rejoice with us,” Ms Kirkwood concluded.

Put feet first Children across Australia put their feet first, and journeyed towards a healthier future by participating in the 20th anniversary of National Walk Safely to School Day on Friday17 May. The annual event raises awareness of the health, road safety, transport and environmental benefits that regular walking (especially to and from school) can provide for the long-term well-being of children. Apart from the physical benefits, regular walking also has a favourable impact on their cognitive and academic performance.

The day also encourages primary school aged children to build walking into their daily routine, by walking to and from school, not just tomorrow, but every day.

Harold Scruby, Chairman and CEO of the Pedestrian Council of Australia, said that physical inactivity was a major risk factor for so many chronic diseases that can affect our kids at different stages of their life, including mental illness, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

“Primary school aged children across Australia – it’s time to get walking! One in 4 children in Australia is overweight or obese, and it is expected that numbers will reach 1 in 3 by next year,” he said.

“We really need teachers, parents, carers and the community at large to get behind this event and its objectives, the best exercise for all of us is regular walking. Children require at least 60 minutes huff and puff physical activity every day. We should encourage them to include walking at the beginning, during and end of each day – if you can’t walk all the way, use public transport and get off the bus, train, tram or ferry a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way to school.”

National Walk Safely to School Day also encourages parents and carers to walk more, reducing dangerous traffic congestion around schools.

Faith-illed environments, outstanding pastoral care and personalised learning comes hand-in-hand with a Catholic Education in the Diocese of Sale.

21st Century teaching

More and more families are choosing independent schools.

Helped with school fees An increasing number of families in Victoria are choosing to send their kids to private schools with enrolments at independent schools rising over the past five years.

The latest research from education payment provider Edstart found that independent school enrolments have grown year-on-year and outpaced other school sectors. The fiveyear change in real enrolment at independent schools, which factors in the impact of population growth, was 3.6 per cent. Victorian public school enrolments rose 1.6per cent over the same period.

With the cost of private schools continuing to rise in recent years, Edstart CEO Jack Stevens said higher fees are not deterring parents from choosing an independent school.

“Families generally look at a range of fac-

tors when deciding where to send their kids.

If people think they have the capacity to pay something for education, they will make that choice,” Mr Stevens said.

He highlighted that the independent school sector was a broad category with schools that cater to different family budgets.

“They range from schools with fees over $40,000 per year to schools that charge only a few thousand. Parents are able to make a choice on what is affordable for them.

“Regardless of the amount, the important thing is to make sure education is a manageable expense.

“The way we’ve been able to help is by enabling families to spread large upfront fees into smaller payments, which makes a huge difference to their cash flow.”

Hampton Park Secondary College delivers 21st Century teaching and learning within a dynamic, diverse and multicultural community.

Principal Wayne Haworth said the school integrates future-focussed skills into the curricular and co-curricular program including critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, problem solving and digital technologies to prepare our students for their own futures and as future leaders.

“We encourage positive learning behaviours, using Growth Mindset, which ensures student success and growth in their learning.“ Mr Haworth said Hampton Park Secondary College provided a safe, secure, friendly and stimulating school environment.

“Our school and learning environment centres around the college values of Respect, Learning and Working Together. We are committed to supporting all students.

“Through an integrated well-being approach which includes Student Learning Leaders, student counsellors, teacher aides, multicultural education aides, small EAL (English as an Additional Language) classes and

teaching teams, we are able to provide additional help to students with specific literacy and numeracy needs.

“Our staff and programs (Students Access Monash; RMIT, Federation University) also provide extension activities to enhance the learning experiences for all students.

“We empower students through Student Voice to have a direct influence on their learning and environment. Additional opportunities for personal and learning growth are offered to students across all year levels including a variety of leadership positions and involvement in programs and partnerships with community agencies such as Burrong-AIMES, SEAAC-Refugee backgrounds, Foundation House, YouthWorks, Centre for Multicultural Youth, TriTactics, and our local Primary School Network.

Ready for the future

By Annette Rome, Principal St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School There are many people that attempt to frame what it is that students in this century and beyond need to be able to think, say and do to function effectively and compassionately in a global world. All educators aim to prepare students (and adults) for a world where the only constant is change.

Many observers will claim that little has changed regarding formal education methodologies for over 200 years. We know this not to be the case. School structures and classrooms, curriculum, pedagogies and assessments have all changed considerably. So much so that I often hear parents comment “I wish I could have learned like that”.

One aspect that is unrecognisable to older generations is that of careers education. Young people today are encouraged to explore their passions, explore the world of work and seek mentoring and other opportunities that permit the selection of a pathway after schooling that is likely to be satisfying and rewarding.

Their classroom is now the world.

Such an approach at St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School that complements the focus on STEM, entrepreneurship and innovation are the recent opportunities offered to the students to obtain a drone licence or a recreational pilot’s licence. Drones are used in a broad range of occupations including surveying, engineering, photography, film making and science research. Australia and globally

A Kool Kidz way to learn

Pilot training is on offer at St Margaret's and Berwick Grammar. we are facing shortages in pilots.

A partnership with Casey Technical School also facilitates access to state-of-the-art technology.

We believe these initiatives will assist the young people to know themselves better, know what they stand for, as well as giving them the transferable skills to embark on newly developed career opportunities.

Kool Kidz Narre Warren offers a curriculum which aims to support and enhance children’s learning as well as their transition to school.

The long day care centre opened in February, the fruition of a long held dream of mother and daughter operators Janette Karavatis and Maria Dimoulas.

Kool Kidz offers a comprehensive Early Learning Program.

Janette said educators support and guide children’s learning in a loving, friendly and fun environment.

“Children are treated with respect, given plenty of space to develop and grow and are presented with new challenges,“ Janette said.

“We supply a wide range of both man-made and natural equipment for children to build and construct with. We encourage them to use their imaginations to develop their learning.“ The Kool Beginnings Curriculum covers a range of developmental areas including num-

bers, letters and words, rhythm and melodies, the world and the environment, the five senses and art expression.

Kool Kidz occupies the former day hospital on Narre Warren Cranbourne Road.

The centre has been extensively refurbished and now includes seven class rooms - two baby rooms, three toddler rooms and two kinder rooms. All the rooms have access to spacious outdoor areas and there are dedicated sleep areas and a separate kitchen. A feature of the centre is the earth room where children have lunch along with incursions and special learning experiences.

“Maria and I have strong family values and we hope to carry that through to our children placed in our care,“ said Janette.

Hillcrest gets all arty-fied

Fountain Gate Secondary College principal Pete Hanratty with senior students.

Strong bond with schools Fountain Gate Secondary College has a strong relationship with its feeder primary schools with ongoing projects dedicated to introducing students into the strong academic culture at the college including discovery days and STEM workshops.

This is partnered with a vast extra-curricular program that aims to immerse students in a variety of learning approaches throughout all years.

Academic and extra-curricular support is maintained throughout all years and then carried through the FGSC’s Alumni program which consistently supports and celebrates past students.

The college’s new Endeavour Centre offers 11 flexible learning spaces, fully furnished and fitted out with new equipment including 12 3D

printers, robotics kits, laser cutters and CNC routers.

At every year level, students can select elective subjects from all eight key learning areas which includes classes in Robotics, Media, Arts, Health & PE, Dance, Drama, Fabric and Fashion Design, Film Studies, Forensic Science, International Cuisine, Multimedia, Music Performance, Outdoor Education, Rugby Academy and Photography.

The college’s new project based learning STEM program was launched this year and has been highly successful.

Fountain Gate Secondary College is committed to fostering the personal, moral and academic growth of students, through the core school values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Endeavour.

'Arty Week' has seen an explosion of creativity and artistic expression at Hillcrest Christian College. The Clyde North school dedicated lunch and recess times during the second week of May, to celebrate all things art.

The Visual Arts faculty had been planning and preparing for Arty Week for some weeks and one of the preparations involved creating bunting. The bunting was specially crafted during Art clubs across primary and secondary groups. Students helped by tie-dyeing the fabric, cutting and sewing. The colourful triangular flags were placed in trees, along buildings and on fences and added a particular festive charm in the courtyards, where the art activities were held.

The week's activities included pom pom making (with the creations then placed on a particular tree), and chalk drawing, where students created public masterpieces on the courtyard footpaths, street art style.

There was also a sticky note competition, where students submitted a sticky note artwork to be eligible to win some exciting prizes.

There were over 250 submissions across primary and secondary school. All sticky notes were displayed as a pop up exhibition across

class windows and the art gallery.

Further art making activities included God's eye, mindful colouring, resin art, banner painting and painted branches. There was also a staff exhibition, where Hillcrest staff were invited to display their creations in the Visual Arts Centre foyer. Staff presented a variety of artworks such as photography, pottery, drawing, textiles and many more.

"The week was a celebration of talent and inspiration for the whole community," Ysabelle Ruddle, Head of Visual Arts, commented.

A morning tea was held in the gallery space to celebrate artistic practice and students can continue to visit the gallery, where they are able to learn something new about staff members and be inspired by the display. The Art Week concluded with a brilliant Friday lunchtime concert by the VET music students.

"In the near future, we look forward to an outdoor mural to be painted by a commissioned artist to celebrate the themes of young people, art, design and Christian faith," Mrs Ruddle added.

"Overall, Arty Week was a success and the perfect way to celebrate the creative arts at Hillcrest Christian College."

Hillcrest Christian College students spent the second week of May exploring all things arty.

STEP IN TO PREP Monday 3rd of June

By Henry Grossek, Principal Of Berwick Lodge Primary School British physicist Stephen Hawking inspired my title for this editorial with his immensely popular book, A Brief History of Time: From Big Bang to Black Holes for several reasons.

Firstly, his language skills in condensing such a voluminous amount of information into a single book that is relatively accessible to all readers and is of manageable length.

Secondly, science is of profound importance of to us all. Thirdly, creativity is a core ingredient fundamental to human growth and Hawking’s title inspired my creativity in writing this piece, given that 2019 marks our school’s 30th year of existence and my 30th year as the founding principal.

Berwick Lodge Primary School commenced with just 200 students and 18 staff members in February 1990, occupying spare classrooms and a gymnasium at the former site of Berwick Primary School, plus an old guide hall across the road from the school.

The reason for this was that completion of building our school was delayed due to the fact that a massive storm had blown the roof off at the time. How far we have come since then!

Today, Berwick Lodge is a school of 620 students, effectively capped at an enrolment of no more than 630 students, a very manageable size.

We are not an open plan school, though we do have the flexibility to bring large numbers of students together for group activities and we have an incredibly broad range of specialist

It is now easier for parents to find out what school zone they live in with the launch of a new interactive website.

The state government has created a simple and clear website so, for the first time, Victorian parents will be able to enter their home address online and see their local school zone.

A number of anomalies in school zoning have also been addressed.

Previously, some homes were excluded from a school zone, and in some cases, school boundaries overlapped.

The Find My School website also includes

zones for the new schools opening in 2020.

The website allows parents to search for their closest school as well as find other nearby government schools.

Schools can be found by typing in a residential address or suburb or searching by school name or categories such as primary, secondary, or specialist school.

The new website will provide parents with clarity and consistency on what their government school options are.

Extensive study options At Hallam Senior College staff aim to provide all students with the maximum opportunity for personal and academic growth in a supportive environment, one specially designed for students in their later years of secondary education.

Hallam Senior College offers an extensive range of study options in Year 10, VCE, VET and VCAL that enable teachers to personalise a student’s timetable through a focused program approach.

"Students are at the centre of our thinking, planning and actions. We aim to ensure that we provide positive learning experiences for every student in a young adult environment," said college principal David Caughey.

Mr Caughey said with highly experienced staff ensuring quality of delivery across all sub-

jects, students are treated as young adults with staff-student relationships based on mutual respect, cooperation and a focus on the common goal - learning. In a young adult learning environment students are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their learning.

"The relationships we forge with students and their families are critical elements of a student’s success at this important stage of their learning.

"Hallam Senior College values relationships built on respect and responsibility where the relationships between people, learning and the environment frame our actions."

Pathway to her success Hannah Wicke’s story is one of pathways: study pathways, career pathways, and life pathways.

The winner of Chisholm’s 2018 Higher Education Student of the Year and featuring in the institute’s Chase Your Calling campaign, Hannah is a senior accountant and half way to becoming a chartered accountant. But not so long ago, her life was completely different.

“I was working as a scanning chick and a receptionist!” Hannah said.

Hannah graduated from university with an Arts/Law degree, only to discover it wasn’t her calling. She then undertook a Certificate III in Business Administration with Chisholm.

This led to a job as a receptionist with a major accounting firm, where her work ethic and positivity made such an impression that they decided to sponsor her education.

Hannah chose a Chisholm pathway with La Trobe university, where she segued from Certificate IV in Accounting all the way to her bachelor’s degree.

Hannah’s journey is a great example of what a pathway can do - and that it can begin with one of the courses on the Victorian government’s free TAFE list. A pathway is a staged learning process that allows students to obtain related qualifications - from certificate, to diploma, to degree - one at a time. This means students don’t have to wait years before being able to work in their field of study. Pathways are also flexible and designed to fit around a student’s other commitments.

Hannah studied part-time while working.

Chisholm’s 2018 Higher Education Student of the Year Hannah Wicke.

Before too long she was able to buy a 20-acre property in Rochester, complete with heritage home and horses. She lives there with her fiancé on the weekends, while working in Melbourne during the week.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” she said.

It’s been a challenging few years, but Hannah has taken great care to avoid burnout. She loves her career and loves where she’s headed.

Reflecting on her journey, her advice is typical of the attitude that got her to where she is today: “Take every opportunity, no matter what.

Just say yes - you never know where it might take you.”

Call to ban phones in class Nearly 80 per cent of Australian adults in a new survey support the idea of banning mobile phones in classrooms.

A national survey out of Monash University found while most Australians believe that technology has a place in the classroom, there are still a number of concerns.

The survey showed 79 per cent surveyed supported the idea of classroom bans on phones, and just under one-third support a total schoolwide ban.

Professor Neil Selwyn from Monash University’s Faculty of Education conducted the national survey of 2052 Australian adults to gauge public opinions on digital technology use in schools.

Of those surveyed, 86 per cent believed schools play a key role in teaching kids information technology skills.

Key findings of the survey include: - 66% of adults agree that digital technologies make a positive contribution to Australian schools - 37% of adults believe ‘Big Tech’ companies cannot be trusted to play a role in school technology - 44% of adults are happy to see online exams; 34% want blended learning opportunities - 46% of adults would like facial recognition technology (computerised video tracking in schools to monitor attendance and ensure safety) incorporated into classrooms over the next 10 years - Just 21% of adults believe that parents should pay for their child’s ‘BYOD’ laptop or digital tablet if schools do not give them a choice of device Professor Selwyn said he was surprised to find a high level of support for classroom phone bans from adults who otherwise endorsed the need for increased use of digital

technology in schools.

“But despite the strong sentiment for a classroom phone ban, a large majority of adults in the survey (68 per cent) said it was OK for students to bring a mobile phone to school - mainly for safety and security purposes,” he said.

FOCUS ON … EDUCATION WEEK

Blogging challenge is on to develop important digital citizenship skills in an authentic way. Rather than learning about the theory of digital citizenship or publishing on a closed platform, our students get real world practise. With the support of teachers and commenters, students learn about publishing online and interacting with others safely and positively.”

Kathleen and the Student Blogging Challenge team work to recruit volunteer commenters who are allocated student blogs each week to ensure students are interacting with a safe and trustworthy audience.

“These commenters are screened to ensure they are involved in education. Some of our commenters are teachers, retired teachers, pre-service teachers, librarians, school administrators, students who have taken part in the challenge in the past, and others who work in education.”

As the Student Blogging Challenge moves into the next decade of our ever changing digital landscape, what will the future hold for Kathleen and the future of the Student Blogging Challenge?

“In order to thrive in our rapidly changing world, global competency is a must for all students. So, I hope to keep spreading the word about the challenge to encourage participants from a diverse range of countries and communities. The challenge will always be about publishing online safely and positively while learning about the world and forming global connections. As our digital world continues to evolve, so will the challenge. It’s exciting to see where the challenge will go in the years to come!”

Have you heard of the Student Blogging Challenge?

The program is about children embracing all of the benefits of blogging - from learning digital writing skills, and digital citizenship, to developing an authentic audience and connecting with others around the globe.

Since 2008, the Student Blogging Challenge has run twice yearly, beginning each March and October. It’s a great way for children to safely develop their voice and agency to communicate their ideas, beliefs and learning experiences to the world.

Kathleen Morris, an Australian primary school teacher and edublogger, is one of the leading forces behind the challenge.

“The Student Blogging Challenge founder Sue Wyatt ran the challenge for 10 years before deciding to step back in 2018. I was a big fan of using blogging and global collaboration in the classroom and I’ve always enjoyed supporting students and teachers with blogging and connecting. I felt like leading the Student Blogging Challenge was a natural extension of this so I happily put my hand up,“ Kathleen explained.

Some of the topics that the challenge focuses on include; digital literacy skills, copyright, global collaboration, problem solving and agency.

Kathleen also acknowledges that “some topics simply focus on fun and creativity too,

like emojis and music. Digital citizenship is interwoven into all of the topics; students develop their understanding of how to be a safe and responsible member of an online community throughout the challenge“.

As the Student Blogging Challenge is a global experience, one question that it raises is how safe it is for children to participate in.

“One of the fantastic things about the Student Blogging Challenge is it allows students

A 14-year-old boy was allegedly threatened by thugs he would be “stabbed and bashed“ while in the food court on Thursday 11 April.

The centre has made headlines in recent weeks with police stepping up patrols following a string of robberies, assaults and thefts.

Fadi, manager of Metioric Cafe at the centre, said violence had escalated, leaving customers and staff scared.

Police have arrested four teenagers after two young women were hospitalised with stab wounds when a brawl erupted near Fountain Gate shopping centre on Tuesday 14 May. Police say the fight between two parties mostly between girls of African appearance in their mid- to-late-teens was pre-arranged at Max Pawsey Reserve reserve in Narre Warren about 9.30pm.

It comes as Gembrook Coalition MP Brad Battin called for the need to set up a permanent police shopfront at Fountain Gate to address the recent crime wave.

Following the brawl, a 17-year-old girl was treated by paramedics at the scene for non-life threatening injuries and taken to hospital, and a 16-year-old girl was treated for stab wounds to her back and arm and was subsequently taken to a children’s hospital for further treatment.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives executed four search warrants on Thursday morning, 16 March including Coolibah Street, Keysborough; Sidney Nolan Place, Pakenham; Salvia Avenue, Pakenham; and Esther Court, Boronia.

An 18-year-old Boronia girl was charged with affray and bailed to Dandenong Magistrates Court on 13 August.

Two 16-year-old Pakenham girls were charged with affray and remanded in custody.

They are expected to appear in a Children’s court later today.

A further 16-year-old girl from Doveton was released pending enquiries in relation to affray.

Mr Battin said at last November’s state election, the Coalition committed to a shopfront for Victoria Police at shopping centres including one at Fountain Gate.

“Due to the increase in violent crime and Fountain Gate becoming a hot spot, the Andrews Labor Government need to seriously review and consider this policy,” he said.

IN BRIEF

Left with nothing

By Brendan Rees A South East tradie has no way of knowing how he will put food on the table after his home was cleaned out by heartless thieves.

Trent Cole of Clyde North was devastated when he found his Ford Ranger ute and trailer, containing an entire collection of tools allegedly stolen from his home on Monday 13 May. The intruders also took a "one-of-a-kind" engagement ring worth $8,000, and electronic equipment including a Plasma TV, Google Home hub, a Wifi router, and speaker.

The 30-year-old, who runs a fencing company, says the incident has "put me in such a hard spot."

"I don't care about the items and the tools and that ... it's just the car situation.

"I'm having to walk two-and-half hours to get food," he said, including having to walk to pick up his son from kinder.

"On top of that I spent my last cent on food and hopefully that can get me enough till I don't know ... whenever.

"It's just really tough going at the moment.

I feel non-existent and really alone," he said.

Mr Cole had left his Precinct Walk home for a short time when the intruders struck sometime between 2pm and 5.30pm.

"My friend took me out for a bit then I got home and thought 'where's my car gone?'"

He said the spare key was also hidden in a small tin box "which was hidden inside two other boxes."

"They've been able to unclip my garage from the inside internally, roll the door up and away they went."

St Francis Xavier College in Beaconsfield was locked down Wednesday afternoon, 22 May, after a 15-year-old boy brought a toy gun onto the school grounds.

Police arrived to the grounds and arrested the boy for possession of an imitation firearm and is currently assisting police with their inquiries.

Police said the school activated its emergency management plan, and there was no threat to the school community.

Students were being briefed in an assembly.

The investigation is ongoing.

Boys in blue save purple baby

Trent Cole says his livelihood has been taken away after intruders raided his home. 193796 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS The hardest part, he said, was walking into his son's room which had been ransacked: "That brought me to my knees."

Mr Cole was in the process of moving out of his home on Friday 17 May but was now "forced to squat".

"I got know where to go because I can't afford a place."

According to Mr Cole, there was no sign of forced entry. But he said CCTV from his neigh-

bour had captured his ute and trailer leaving his home.

He was given details of a person's address in Beaconsfield which he passed onto police after appealing for information on Facebook's Casey Crime Page.

No labels: Power of words impacting lives

By Brendan Rees

Eric Agyeman delivers his anti-bullying workshop to Year 7 students at Narre Warren South P-12 College. ing to cry because of what they has to endure at school," he said.

"Words are so powerful. In fact words kill more people than bullets do.

"Words kill people's self-esteem; they kill people's sense of confidence; they kill people's sense of creativity; in the classroom they kill people's ability to raise their hand to answer a question," he said.

Eric, who is the author of three best-selling books and the winner of the 2016 African Australian Community leader of the year award, went through difficult experiences growing

up as a migrant, feeling isolated and suffering bouts of depression.

"What I have realised in life - it's not what people call you that matters but it's what you answer to," he said.

"In life you don't control another person's mouth, you don't control what comes out of another person but what you can control is how you can respond to that."

He also spoke about failure being "an event and never a person."

"There are so many things that you will go through in life - job interviews, relationships, tests, examinations and not all of them you will pass with flying colours.

"In those moments don't label yourself by the results of what you're going through."

He added: "Let's be a year level that allows failure to refine us - not define us."

Year 7 team leader Luke Wilson said Eric's speech sent a powerful message to students."We know this is great school but we think we can make it even better by students identifying that the way they speak to each other can make this place a better environment," he said.

For more information about Eric's workshops visit: www.ericagyeman.com.

A choking baby was saved by the boys in blue this week, in a case of right place, right time for everyone.

First Constable Luke Bull, an officer in the Dandenong Frontline Tactical Unit, said he and his partner First Constable Callum Nathan were flagged down on Plunkett Road on the afternoon of Wednesday 15 May by a distressed mother who was holding her baby.

“The baby was visibly purple in the face and struggling to breathe,” Mr Bull said.

He and his partner leaped into action, with Mr Nathan performing back taps on the child and Mr Bull calling an ambulance.

It was a whirlwind 90 seconds, and fortunately the baby spat out a mouthful of cucumber and began to breathe normally again.

“It went quickly but it’s lucky we were there,” Mr Bull said.

“It’s good to go home knowing you’ve helped a young mum and her baby.”

New phone stolen Police are looking for a man that allegedly stole a mobile phone from a kiosk store at Cranbourne Shopping Centre.

He is alleged to have grabbed a brand new Samsung S7 phone while a staff member was helping a customer at a Telstra shop about 12.45pm on Saturday 20 April.

The man is described as about 183cm tall, Caucasian, with a chubby build.

Police have released a still images of a man they believe might be able to assist their inquiries.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au and quote the incident number 190142675.

Wig-wearing bandit steals fuel Police are hunting a man who appeared to be wearing a wig during an alleged theft of petrol at a Lydhurst service station on Monday 27 April.

Police say the man "pretended to try and pay" for $80 worth of petrol at the Shell service station on Dandenong-Hastings Road about 4pm. It's alleged the man told the customer assistant he would be back before driving away in a white Mazda.

The owner of the vehicle is believed to be a suspended driver and wanted for various thefts, police say. Police have released a still images of a man they believe might be able to assist their inquiries.

African-born Eric Agyeman spent years "finding a place where I know who I am" after being tormented by bullies at school.

It didn't come easy. At the age of 10, while attending a South East school, the inspirational speaker recalled hearing remarks that "because of the colour of your skin will never be able to achieve anything in life."

Despite the student being expelled Eric says for the next three years of his life - "his words were still present in my mind."

"It had my own voice to it because I had believed what he had told me," he said.

Today Eric is the founder of School Revival, a movement in high schools building resilience in young people through transformational workshops.

He was a guest speaker to 330 Year 7 students at Narre Warren South P-12 College on Friday 17 May where he delivered an anti-bullying and resilience workshop.

Growing up, Eric told the students he would hate being in groups "because I would fear what someone else would say to me."

Sext teacher avoids jail

By Mitchell Clarke A former Director of Music at Nossal High School has been placed on the sex offender registry after sending sexually inappropriate messages to a 16-year-old student.

James Mustafa, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of ‘Encourage a child under 16/17 years of age under the care, supervision or authority

of a person aged 18 years or above, to engage in sexual activity’ at the Ringwood Magistrates Court on Wednesday 15 May. The award winning jazz musician sent 150 messages to the music student in the one day on 30 May 2018.

Pakenham Gazette contacted Nossal High School for comment but was referred to the

Department of Education and Training.

“The Department is aware of the decision of the Magistrates’ Court involving a former education support employee,” a spokesperson said.

“The health and safety of our students is our number one priority.”

The Government has introduced signifi-

cant reforms as a result of the Betrayal of Trust report including new child safety standards requiring all schools to implement policies and procedures to ensure children are safe at school.

The magistrate recorded a conviction and Mr Mustafa was sentenced to a two year Community Corrections Order and was placed on the sex offender registry.

Gone in minutes

By Brendan Rees CCTV footage has captured the moment a $38,000 excavator was allegedly stolen from a Clyde North home.

Vinodh Mahagedara said a man and woman could be seen on camera approaching his Bellhaven Circuit home about 2.30pm on Monday 13 May. They pulled up in what appeared to be a Ford Falcon sedan before peering in the letterbox, Mr Mahagedara said.

"First they come to my driveway and take the letters and then other side of the house they hook up the excavator," he said.

He said without his excavator, a Kubota

u17-3, he would be out of work for two weeks.

Mr Mahagedara said the thieves broke a lock to the excavator which was parked on the road before hooking it up and driving off within 10 minutes.

He described the woman aged between 20 and 30, and the man about 40 years old.

Narre Warren police are investigating.

Mr Mahagedara has appealed on the Casey Facebook Crime Page in the hope to identify the culprits.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

A man and woman checked the letterbox.

To my local polling booth for not providing the highlight of every election day and allowing the voting public to enjoy the sweet taste of free choice and the delicacy of a democracy sausage! I left disheartened at this un-Australian decision and with an empty stomach. Big thumbs down for this voting fella!

Thumbs Down!

To all politicians for their continued harassment right up to Saturday morning. Our budget would be so much better off if they didn't waste money on unsolicited mail, text and phone calls at all hours of the day. Not to mention the outdated practice of handing out paper flyers and how to vote forms in the age of the information superhighway.

Thumbs Down!

Denis Green and his two sons have moved beyond exchanging birthday presents these days.

But this year will be an exception.

Denis has just gone through a battle with prostate cancer and, as a gift for his 70th birthday, he has asked the two boys to provide copies of their PSA tests.

They, like many middle aged men, have been reluctant to be tested for the disease, which strikes 18,000 men in Australia each year and kills 3500 of them.

Denis, convenor of the Dandenong-based South Eastern Prostate Cancer Support Group, was diagnosed at 68 and his younger brother received the same bad news when only 56.

It should not have come as a great surprise, given their father had prostate cancer and their mother breast cancer.

“Family history is very important when it comes to prostate cancer,” Denis explained.

“The experts say that you should be checked from 50, or from 40 if you have a family history of the disease.”

Hence the birthday request from his sons.

“There’s still a reluctance in men to ad-

dress and talk about their health,” Denis said.

“There’s a tendency to put it off, like my boys have, and dismiss it as an older man’s disease.”

Denis joined a prostate cancer support group around Ringwood when he was disagnosed and attended the local chapter when moving to Narre Warren last year.

He now heads it up as convenor and wants to get the word out to prostate cancer sufferers, their loved ones and anyone who may have a question or two about the disease that help is at hand.

The group meets on the third Wednesday of the month (February to November) from 7pm to 8.30pm at the Dandenong RSL in Clow Street “It’s about sharing experiences and supporting each other,” Denis said. “We try to inform people who want to know about it and help and support those who have it.”

Three out of the monthly meetings have a guest speaker and the other is used as a group discussion.

Anyone wanting information about the group can contact Denis on 0459 609 619 or email southeasternpcsg@gmail.com

Shock at felling of trees

By Brendan Rees A Berwick woman has spoken of her shock after gum trees in her street were cut down without warning.

Teisha Cohen, 25, was furious when she discovered workers felling the trees outside her Howitt Court home on Friday 17 May. "We moved here because we loved the fact there were native trees," she said.

"They're big strong trees that have been there for a really long time. It's very sad."

Casey manager of city presentation David Richardson said as part of council's ongoing management of trees in the Timbarra Estate, the trees which were mostly Wallangarra white gum, had been identified for removal due to their declining health and poor condition following extended dry periods and multiple insect infestations.

"Residents will be involved in selecting replacement tree species that are complementary to the character of the estate and which meet safety and sustainability criteria," he said.

Ms Cohen said she had no idea the trees were going to be removed; adding council "didn't even give us a chance to prepare."

"I've just been woken up and said we need to move our cars because they're cutting down the trees.

"They told me that the tree has rot and I said 'Where? I don't see any rot.'

"What we've got in front of our house right now is like sections of the tree and a large portion of the stump. That's all around our neighbourhood now," she said.

"They're beautiful. We have birds that live in them.

According to Ms Cohen, her neighbour also said he "really doesn't understand it."

Another Howitt Court resident, Cassie Adams, said the trees appeared to be healthy but

It was the pawfect day out

By Brendan Rees

Moses Porero, 17, has competed for a spot in the national team.

Trying hard

By Brendan Rees A rising rugby star at Fountain Gate Secondary College has trained with some of the best young talent in the country to represent Australia.

Moses Porero, a 17-year-old Year 12 student was selected by Rugby Australia to take part in a training session on 23 to 24 April in the Aussie 7s Youth National Camp in Sydney.

Moses was thrilled to be coached by Australian representatives and enjoyed his training with others from around Australia as they competed for a spot in the Australians 7's under-18 team which will be released later this month.

"I enjoyed learning about game, particularly from the Australian 7 coaches and men's players were there to run through skills and strategies for the games," Moses said.

"It was really great experience and I loved meeting other players from around Australia."

Playing since the age of five years, Moses developed a love of the sport alongside his brothers at multiple clubs.

He played for the Melbourne Rebels under-16 team which led to his selection for the Melbourne Rebels under-18 Junior Academy.

Since his enrolment in Year 11, Moses has also been representing Fountain Gate Secondary College in the academy program and hopes to represent Australia in Australian under-18's team in the coming years.

His coach and the school's director of rugby, Jimmy praised Moses's commitment to the sport.

"Moses holds the school academy records for a number of the fitness tests we have the students perform. It has been a privilege to coach him, his hard work and commitment to his craft is exceptional," Mr Orange said.

Fountain Gate Secondary College was proud of this outstanding accomplishment and wished Moses the "best in his endeavours."

The much-loved Casey Pet Expo had tongues wagging at Wilson Botanic Park with thousands pouring through the gates on Saturday 18 May. Under blue skies, the popular day out saw residents and their furry four-legged friend exploring the beautiful surrounds of the Berwick park, participating in workshops, watching live demonstrations and chatting with stallholders from the pet industry.

With over 37,000 dogs and cats registered, the City of Casey has one of the highest rates of pet registrations in Melbourne.

The expo also featured guest presenters, pet related stalls, novelties, a caricaturist, and market stalls.

Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said it was one the best event's council has held.

"It's just about getting all the dogs together and people meeting each other but also people who didn't have a dog stopping to pat the dogs and chat to people," she said.

"Most people dressed their dogs up ... it was fabulous."

After three premierships in four years, Berwick are enjoying their most successful era.

After three premierships in four years, Berwick are enjoying their most successful era.

185297 Picture: ROB CAREW

Berwick’s belter Berwick's intensity from the opening bounce until the final siren simply can't be matched.

Their premiership victory against Narre Warren on Saturday - giving the club back-toback flags for just the second time in club history - was intense, finals footy laced with the right amount of class.

After a third premiership in four years, the word 'dynasty' is deservingly being bandied around, and for good reason.

The club has a stranglehold over the southeast region - they're relentless, driven by success and are always chasing their next challenge. It's the cornerstone of all successful sporting clubs.

While the weather may have been arctic in their 51-point win over Narre Warren, the Wickers put in a magical performance befitting of a champion team in the midst of a golden era.

From the superstar Travis Tuck, who came to the club with a high expectation that has

now culminated with a best on ground medal in a grand final, to their champion skipper Madi Andrews, dynamic forward Harry Money, gun midfielder Bryce Rutherford and reliable defenders Jo West and Michael Riseley, the Wickers possess remarkable star power.

"We pride ourselves on our relentless approach," Berwick coach Stewart Kemperman said in the aftermath of another premiership win.

And as for Kemperman, he couldn't have a dreamt of a start to his senior coaching career

- two premierships in two years.

Not only is the former Noble Park champion blessed with an incredible squad, but he's a forward thinker, a modern day coach with an incredible tactical nous.

The foundations are set, and as the club embarks on a new era in AFL Outer East, it seems the Wickers show no signs of slowing down.

Turn to sport for more about a golden day for the Wickers in the final ever grand final of the South East Football Netball League.

Good for all

By Danielle Kutchel A grateful community came together over lunch and cake to celebrate the tenth birthday of Transit Soup Kitchen and Food Support last week.

Transit is run by Narre Warren Christian Church and provides groceries and meals for those in the community who are doing it tough.

"We felt as Christians that we wanted to feed people, we wanted to help people, clothe people, provide baby bundles to new mothers, provide support to refugees, whoever comes our way. We don't discriminate against anyone, anyone is welcome to come, anyone is welcome to volunteer," Pastor Keith Vethaak says.

Transit sees a variety of people come through its doors, from pensioners to the homeless to overrun young families, all of

them struggling to make ends meet.

Volunteers keep the place going, cooking food and helping with the grocery distribution, when the small building is transformed into a miniature supermarket complete with a dairy section and a swag of fresh fruit and vegetables.

There are around 110 volunteers, many of them previously clients of Transit.

Sue Hall is one of those who has come full circle with Transit. She volunteers now to give back to the community that has given her so much.

"It's full of the most caring, loving people that can't do enough for you. There's no judging, you're not judged at all by anybody.

It doesn't matter where you're from or your background, they accept everybody for who you are."

Transit is at Factory 4, 5/3 Webb Street, Narre Warren.

Nossal take home award

By Jessica Anstice Berwick's Nossal High School was recognised for their environmental efforts in the largest sustainability awards for Victorian schools.

Sustainability Victoria annually presents the ResourceSmart Schools Awards.

This year, Nossal High School was nominated as a finalist in the category 'Student Action Team of the Year (Secondary)'.

NEST (Nossal Environmental Sustainability Team) is one of the largest clubs on campus.

With numbers that fluctuate up to nearly 100 students (of nearly 800), the students are clearly passionate about the environment.

After attending a student leadership confer-

ence at the start of last year, the Year 12 student leaders returned with the idea of altering their meetings away from one large group to smaller action groups.

"As a school that promotes an adult learning environment and student agency I very keen to support students taking a more active role in running this club," Nossal High School sustainability coordinator Lisa Mandeltort said.

The student leadership group decided on four action groups including Public Relations, Green Team, ResourceSmart Schools and Summit Planning.

"These action groups have achieved a lot," Ms Mandeltort said.

"Personally I am very proud to see the hard work and leadership skill development of these amazing NEST members and student leaders being recognised."

With little teacher oversight, the team of students run publicity campaigns across the school and to the wider community, plant trees and participate in gardening, work towards the water module of the ResourceSmart School program, as well as plan and facilitate a summit attended by over 100 students and teachers from local schools.

Mr Maas said: "I am always happy to welcome the Premier to our Narre Warren South and show him the super work of our local community centres."

"It is always fantastic to visit neighbourhood houses such as Brentwood Park and see first-hand how their tireless work supports the community," he said.

"Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House is a hive of activity."

Samar Mougharbel of Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House said it was an honour to meet with the Premier and show how they connect to the community.

"The community garden project is very important for Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House and for the other local community centres involved. We appreciate the Premier's support," she said.

The event was held at the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick and was attended by residents who represented a wide variety of community groups including schools, seniors groups, multicultural organisations, community houses, and sporting clubs.

Residents were enthusiastic about raising their thoughts on issues that affect our community such as jobs, health, education, policing, roads, and transport.

Their top priorities included social inclusion and support services for the disadvantaged members of our community, particularly the homeless. They also stressed the

importance of better using government infrastructure for public programs and community engagement.

Mr Maas thanked all of the participants of the Community Matters Forum and looks forward to the possibility of setting up a committee to realise our goals for Narre Warren South.

"It was fantastic to be part of a productive discussion with local residents that focused on their concerns and ideas for the future of Narre Warren South," he said.

"Forums like these help bring the community together and ensure residents can make their voices heard.

"The local feedback and desire to enhance our Narre Warren South was truly motivational."

School raises grand gift

By Brendan Rees Business students at Berwick College have put their profiting skills to the test by hosting a range of food stalls.

The VET students set up more than 30 stalls with the sale of hot chips, pizza, doughnuts and more at their annual market day on Tuesday 21 May. A total of $1,394 was raised and will be distributed to various charities including World Wildlife Fund, Australian Conservation Foundation, Prostate Cancer of Australia, Red Nose, Leukaemia Foundation, and Kids with Cancer Foundation.

VET small business teacher Chris Sacco said

while the market day was fun for all, the students learned a key lesson in how to financially sustain a business and manage their time.

"The student's organisational and communication skills were crucial in ensuring that they were adequately prepared for rush of customers on the day," he said.

"This is an extremely impressive total, a fantastic effort."

He said the college was impressed with the students' professionalism: "All students who participated should be very proud of their efforts on the day."

Mr Sacco thanked all students and staff involved in ensuring the day was a success.

Students organised more than 30 food stalls to raise money for various charities.

Business gets social

By Danielle Kutchel

An appreciative crowd is all ears. presentation, she said she has found that the number of businesses with a social media presence is growing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely businesses are coming on board with it but it is slow. The ones that are using it are seeing massive results.â&#x20AC;?

Sharing her top three tips for businesses diving into digital media, Ms May said businesses should remember not to view their marketing efforts in silos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use your social media and digital media as another marketing tool, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it as just Facebook. And keep it professional. All the content you put on ... needs to have your brand on it. My number two tip would be consistency - keep it going, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up. And three would be it might help to put some money behind it.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Stapledon welcomed the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s en-

thusiasm at the event and said the presentation by Ms May had some useful takeaways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was an example of the great business community weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got coming together, networking but also just hearing from experts which might give them tips on how to do things smarter. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about, supporting our businesses, giving them tools and advice that they might not know.â&#x20AC;?

Daryl Mitchell, Sales Director at LightFM which supported the breakfast, said he found the presentation useful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a really good representation of how you can get involved in social media, where you would use it, where you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it, and some of the costs. I think that was really helpful. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare to find somebody that will talk about all the available platforms in a format like that.â&#x20AC;?

Guest speaker Casey May of Redstep marketing agency, in Berwick, talks to guests about the importance of knowing their social media audiences.

12417415-CG20-19

The thriving Casey and Cardinia business communities came together on Wednesday to enjoy a morning of delicious food and handy insights at the May Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast.

A whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who from across the region packed the function centre at Cranbourne Turf Club, and there were smiles all round despite the early start.

City of Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon, Deputy Mayor Tim Jackson and councillor Rex Flannery, and Deputy Mayor of Cardinia Shire, Collin Ross, were also in attendance.

The morning kicked off with an unusual icebreaker to get the audience into the spirit of the morning: guests were asked to stand on either side of the room, depending on their age, before being asked a series of questions focusing on media consumption, in a physical demonstration of market research.

This led into the theme of the morning, with guest speaker Casey May delivering a presentation on integrated marketing and how to make this work for businesses of all sizes.

With 15 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in marketing, Ms May held the audience captive as she described how businesses could keep ahead of changing media consumption to reach and convert the right customers.

Likening the digital world to the physical world - for example, by describing Google search ads as the Yellow Pages - drew chuckles from the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do this yourselves - it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be hard!â&#x20AC;? she told her audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think about your business, your audience and what you need to target. Every part of your branding needs to be professional at a level that helps people understand what you stand for,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Controversial conclusion SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE The Southern Football League took on Riddell District Football League (RDFL) at Romsey on Saturday and in a controversial ending, went down by three points.

Leading by 19 points with a quarter to play, Southern looked in control, but to the RDFL's credit, they stormed home, kicking the final three goals of the game. When the final siren sounded, the scoreboard had Southern leading by one point.

But after the goal umpires conferred postgame, it was decided that the scoreboard was wrong and scores were in fact tied. This saw the game go to extra time - with teams playing five minutes each way.

Southern kicked the first major of extra time, but the RDFL booted two majors in the second five-minute period to claim a famous, controversial win, 12.12 (84) to 11.15 (81).

Jake Mullen (five goals) and Chris Carey were dominant for Southern.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN The Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL) has booked a ticket to the biggest stage in country football with a resounding 41-point victory over Ovens and Murray in the AFL Victoria Community Championships at Rosebud.

The Sharks were outplayed early, but settled in the second quarter, before producing a brilliant display after half time. They kicked 12 goals to three after the main break to rise to the number-two ranking in the state, 16.16 (112) to 10.11 (71).

The Sharks will now take on Northern, who defeated Geelong, for the number one ranking in community football next year.

Coach Chris Holcombe was delighted with the effort of his players, who looked stunned after the visitors' bright start.

"They (O&M) were fantastic early, but I thought we wrestled back control in the second quarter and then capitalised on that momentum by putting the score on the board after half-time," Holcombe said.

"Everything ended up okay, but the pressure is on early in games like this and not everything goes to plan. Once things settled, I berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

thought we showed the way we wanted to play and got things back on our terms. I couldn't have asked for any more from the players."

The Sharks had many fine contributors, but none better than Bonbeach superstar Shane McDonald who won the VCFL Medal for a mesmerising performance up forward. The Sharks needed a spark in the third quarter and the 33-year-old provided it - ending the day with a match-winning six-goal haul. Harry Prior was also instrumental in the ruck, using his bulk, size and mobility to be the best big man on the ground.

Holcombe was personally excited to take the MPNFL back to the brink of the numberranking in the state.

"I'm chuffed with the whole thing, very appreciative in the first place to coach this group but also proud that we've made it back to the number-one game next year," he said.

"But the players are the ones who commit, and put their bodies on the line, and I'm just along for the journey."

AFL Victoria Community Championships.

SEWF gained the early ascendency with the aid of a two-to-three-goal breeze in the first quarter at Moorabbin as Sarah McNamara, Vicki Sanford and Jess Johnstone got busy.

Chloe Hunt got scoring underway, with Olivia Aing and Jamie Head kicking SEWF out to a 21-point lead at quarter time. SEWF extended its lead out to 24 points at half time before a four-goal to zero third term put the game beyond doubt.

Tahlia Fellows and Cass Meads joined Hunt and Aing as third-quarter goal scorers, while Jess Baguley was running a tight ship in defence.

SNFL played the game out hard, reducing the margin slightly in the final term, but SEWF was a well-deserved winner, 11.12 (78) to 4.2 (26).

Eastern Devil Sarah McNamara was awarded best on ground honours, while Chloe Hunt, Jess Baguley and Olivia Aing impressed.

In the Under 18s, the Sharks went down by 23-points, 9.11 (65) to 6.6 (42).

There was some local footy played across the MPNFL on Saturday, with Brendon Goddard making a special appearance for Pearcedale in its Division 2 clash against Chelsea at home.

But not even the presence of the former AFL champ, who played 334 games in a glittering career with both St Kilda and Essendon, could prevent the Dales from going down by triplefigures, 25.14 (164) to 8.6 (54).

The home side was blown away after a nine-goal opening term from the visitors, and struggled for any fluency in their game.

Goddard slotted a goal in his cameo appearance, while Jahron Ostrom battled hard for the home side.

‘Batman’ returns for Cup

By Mick Floyd and Jason Adams Last year's Sandown Cup winner Tornado Tears showed why he is regarded as one of the most exciting stayers of his generation with a dazzling display in his heat on Thursday night .

Despite him spending four weeks away from the track recovering from an injured pad, punters sent Tornado Tears to the boxes, and the $1.04 favourite for the second time in his career and didn't disappoint those who took the short quote. He began cleanly from Box 5 and found his way to the rail despite being put under early pressure.

Improving to second place past the post the first time, 'Batman' set off in pursuit of leader It's A Frenzy entering the back straight and quickly assumed the lead before racing to a nine-length victory over Two Times Twice, clocking a slick 41.37 seconds.

While the crowd - and social media - was abuzz with the remarkable performance, trainer Robert Britton was more relieved his charge had progressed through to the final. "(It's a feeling of) Terrific relief really," Britton said.

"Even though the dog has healed he hasn't been able to put in the work that we really wanted to, so I was going in knowing we were a little underdone, but he got a great clear run in the race and that's exactly what we need at this time.

"He's blowing a lot more than he normally does, but as long as he has a nice easy week he should strip fitter next week."

The win improved his record over the Sandown Park 715-metre journey to seven wins from as many starts, and his winning margin was his third biggest behind his epic 18-length victory when breaking the Cannington track record in March and his staying debut in April 2018 in which he won by 11.14 lengths.

Britton was disappointed with the draw however he is confident that 'Batman' is in good order ahead of Friday night's final, which is the world's richest race for stayers.

"You take what you get, you can't change anything," said Britton.

"I was concerned he might have pulled up a bit flat, but I'm really happy with him."

He is attempting to become just the sixth greyhound to defend his Sandown Cup title after Paul's Thunder (1971 and 1972), Lizrene (1973 and 1974), Bold Trease (1986,1987 ,1988 and 1989), Imra Bale (2012 and 2013) and Sweet It Is (2014 and 2015) were successful in at least going back-to-back. After winning the Cup from Box 7 last year, Britton believes he's racing just as well this time around.

"At his best and with a clear run he can still run the same time as last year, (but) you've got the best greyhounds in Australia in the race - it doesn't matter who you are, you need that luck going into the first turn."

A brutal day at the QEO

By Nick Creely

Berwick youngster Will Arthurson was a bright spot in an otherwise tough day for the new competition.

I’d hate to see the efficiency by foot, because it would have been drastically bad,“ he said.

“Every time we got the ball we couldn’t chain possession, and we can’t take anything away from Bendigo’s pressure and set-up, but when you continue to give the ball back, and in a game that’s a one-off and a team gets a buffer, they can play with more freedom, so it’s very hard to stop.“ Bendigo’s ball movement, and their ability to use the width of the ground was a pivotal factor in the outcome of the match, according to Rutley, who said his side just couldn’t match their work rate to spread from the contest and run.

“I felt like when the play was moving we tended to ball watch, and meant our entire side was falling in on the contest, and all of a sudden, we win the footy and we have no options because we’re just so skinny in our setup,“ he said.

“They (Bendigo) back their numbers at the contest, and it makes them look like millionaires, but the reality is, it’s just smart, disciplined footy.“ Keen to continue on next year if given the chance, Rutley said it was important for him to learn exactly who will buy in to the interleague program going forward.

“I need to get that ball rolling early, and just get a gauge on who wants to go further with this, and who’s had their time, and there would be a few players in the side that have had their time,“ he said.

“The rest of us was just so young - there’s positives in everything, and a lot of our young players got exposed by some really good players, and some good footy, so that’s not a bad thing.

“They’ve been pushed to the edge of their ability - some of these guys have been on the good side of a few 100-point wins, and they would have got a good culture shock.“ In the Under 18s game prior to the senior clash, Bendigo also scored a victory against a

12418953-SN22-19

OUTER EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL COMPETITION REVIEW - AFL VICTORIA COMMUNITY CHAMPIONSHIPS They moved the ball with precision, ran them off their feet and never gave them an inch of space.

The Bendigo Football Netball League was merciless from start to finish, handing AFL Outer East a heavy defeat in the AFL Victoria Community Championships on Saturday, 18.17 (125) to 3.8 (26).

A strong crowd came in droves to QEO in Bendigo to see the home side and the inaugural interleague side of the Outer East do battle, and from the early stages, it was obvious that the slickness of the home team would provide plenty of headaches for coach Nick Rutley.

In the early stages, despite not perhaps putting the score on the board, Bendigo were cutting the Outer East up with their handballing game, moving their way around the ground with precision before getting the ball into dangerous spots in their attacking 50.

It was as if it was deja vu at times - intercept the ball, run and gun, and then eventually score.

The Outer East defence were working overtime, and after a goalless first term, were trailing by 25-points after a four-goal opening term to the home side. Had it not been for many desperate efforts from the defenders, it could have been a lot worse.

Outer East coach Nick Rutley was adamant in the huddle at quarter time that they just had to work harder and change the angles to utilise the unique dimensions of the ground, similar to the home team, which changed the angles at a rate that couldn’t be contained.

But, a blistering second-term completely flattened Outer East, with Bendigo slamming on six-goals to one, with co-captain Marcus Hottes the only to score a goal for the undersiege visitors that term after managing to dribble one through in traffic.

With the likes of skipper Jackson Geary, Pat McKenna, Nathan Horbury and eventual bestafield Jake Thurum cutting the game apart, it was a devastating quarter that saw the Outer East return to the sheds licking their wounds and wondering where to go next.

Despite the defence holding up well in the third term, largely through the efforts of Brandon Osborne and the impressive young Will Arthurson, they couldn’t put any pressure at all on the scoreboard, with just three behinds scored for the visitors to take them to a woeful 1.7 at three quarter time, trailing by a whopping 74-points with a quarter to play.

Within seconds of the final term, the home side piled on more pain, with an easy goal setting the tone for a potential three-figure loss, and after the visitors rallied late to add two more goals, Bendigo still ran out 99-point winners after slamming on an impressive six finalterm majors.

In a bitterly disappointing day for Outer East - who were missing plenty of stars through injury and unavailability - Osborne was outstanding in defence, Hottes was a bull in the middle, while youngsters Patrick Bruzzese and Will Arthurson stood tall all day in a terrific sign for the future of the competition.

Rutley lamented Outer East’s disposal - particularly by foot - and said that they just didn’t give themselves enough chances to score by turning the ball over whenever they moved the ball forward.

“We had patches of play that were quite good early, and we went inside 50 more than them in a period, but we couldn’t connect, we were dysfunctional centre of forward - the story of the day is that we just gave the ball back,

NEWS The Casey BMX Club has 10 members competing in the nationals this week.

Casey BMX Club is setting the pace

By Hayley Wildes Despite being founded just last year, the Casey BMX Club is already making waves, both locally and nationally.

With the BMX nationals taking place this week in Shepparton, the Casey BMX Club has 10 riders - young and old - competing, a true sign that the club is developing some of the best riders in the nation.

Casey BMX Club president Adrian Bognar spoke about the club's inception and the development of the riders.

"We started as a club when we had our first come and try day in February last year," he said.

"So, it's been over a year now and we offer coaching three night a week and a practice day, and then we race every second Saturday.

"Some of those kids that have been sticking with it are now going to the nationals, which

is exciting."

With some of the newest and best facilities in Australia, the Casey BMX Club - based at Casey Fields - has grown from a handful of foundation members to having over 100 registered members today.

"I think it's about a $3.3 million-dollar facility that the council built and it's one of the Australia's best tracks," he said. "[Having that facility] definitely helps develop the riders; if you can ride at our track, you can ride any track in Australia."

The nationals aren't for the faint-hearted, as foundation Casey BMX Club member and nationals competitor Matthew Phillips explained.

"It's just one of those things; you could be the fastest all day and then have one bad race and not make it through to the finals," he said.

Phillips is competing in the 40-44 men's

event. Bognar is competing in the 45-49 men's cruiser event, while his son Patrick is competing in the 16 boys and 15-16 boys cruiser events.

The father and son duo is what the Casey BMX Club is all about; a family-orientated club for all.

"It's definitely a family-driven sport," Bognar said.

"There's lots of young kids, boys and girls, who are really enthusiastic at the club and that's just really cool to see," Phillips added.

With competitors of all ages, from Paul Grace competing in the 50-plus class to Campbell Hoctor in 8 boys event, the Casey BMX Club proves that BMX racing really is for everyone.

For anyone looking to try BMX racing, please head to Casey BMX Club's website; caseybmxclub.com.au, for more information or to get in touch.

The Cavaliers continue to power along

By Hayley Wildes In a weekend that saw all four Casey Cavaliers Big V basketball teams suit-up on the road, three teams came away with key wins, while the Championship women dropped their game against Southern Peninsula.

The Championship men continued their impressive season, with a dominant win over Blackburn.

Sharpshooter Matt Donlan caught fire from deep, going 5/6 from downtown, to finish with a team-high 21 points. With Donlan ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking over, Brent Hobba (20 points and 8 rebounds) and Raheem Lemons (16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists) did work on both ends of the court to help Casey to a 98-71 win.

The Cavs improve to 10-2 on the season and sit second.

The Championship women got off to a strong start against Southern Peninsula - leading by two points at the main break - but a 17-7 run by the Sharks in the third quarter saw them take control of the game and they would go onto win 74-60.

Sarah Halejian played every second of the game for Casey and recorded 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in a stirring effort from the import guard.

After starting the season by winning four of its first five games, Casey has now lost four games in a row to fall to 4-5 and sit seventh on the ladder.

The Gators came home strongly, but the Cavs did enough to hold them off and claim an 84-78 win.

After bouncing back from a loss last weekend, the Cavs improve to 9-3 on the season to sit inside the top four.

The Youth League 1 women had a see-sawing battle in Craigieburn against the Eagles.

The Cavs led by 13 points at the first break,

before the Eagles fought back in the middle two quarters to take a two-point lead into the final break.

With Lauren Tuplin (21 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists) and Bec Peacock (15 points, 11 rebounds and 5 steals) involved in everything, the Cavs roared home in the fourth with a near-perfect 27-12 quarter to claim a 13-point win, 76-63.

The win, Casey's fifth on the trot, sees them improve to 8-2 on the season and further entrench themselves inside the top four.

Looking ahead, Round 10 kicks off with a Saturday triple-header at Casey Stadium from 4pm. The Youth League 1 men, followed by the Championship women and men take on Frankston, Werribee and Chelsea, respectively.

The Youth League 1 women take on Warrandyte on Saturday night on the road, before returning home on Sunday to face Camberwell from 1.30pm at Casey Stadium.

Dandy sneaks home in Tassie

By Hayley Wildes In a back and forth battle of NAB League football at Blundstone Arena in Hobart, the Dandenong Stingrays continued their unbeaten start to the season against the Tasmania Devils.

In an enthralling contest, the Rays skipped out to a quick start, kicking the first three goals.

A late goal to the Devils gave them some life and they hit the lead, 22-19, when they kicked the first two goals of the second term.

The Rays responded with two goals of their own courtesy of Darius Popa and Luca Goonan. After what was a great first half of football, Dandenong entered the main break with a two-point lead, 31-29.

The third quarter was an epic battle as both teams found it tough to get scores on the board, but that didn't take away from the intensity and quality of game.

The lone goal scored in the term came three minutes in when Jai Nanscawen kicked truly to give the Rays a 10-point lead. With a quarter to play, the Rays held an eight-point lead.

With the game in the balance, it was Dandenong's Clayton Gay who came to the fore in the opening stages of the fourth quarter. The classy forward booted two goals in two minutes to have the Rays boasting a 21-point lead after six minutes of play.

To Tasmania's credit, they didn't go away.

In possibly the most impressive five-minute patch of football in this young NAB League season, the Devils scored four goals in emphatic fashion to stunningly take a two-point lead with 10 minutes left on the clock.

The final 10 minutes were frantic, but it was Declan Gould who, after being awarded a questionable free kick, calmly stepped up and delivered a set shot goal with four minutes to play to give Dandenong a four-point lead.

That was the eventual game-winner as Dandenong claimed a hard-fought four-point win, 9.6 (60) to 8.8 (56).

Reece Orchard (24 disposals) found plenty of the football for Dandenong, while Mitch Riordan (23 disposals and one goal) was dynamic across the ground. The play of Bailey Schmidt, Nathan Heath and Clayton Gay (three goals) was vital as the Rays remained on top of the ladder with a 6-0-1 record.

The Rays have a bye in Round 9, before a league-wide week-off the following weekend.

They will return to action against the Northern Knights on 8 June at Shepley Oval from 10.30am. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au
