Pakenham heads to the polls
Storm safety the focus for our SES unit Pakenham SES hosted an open day on Saturday 19 November where attendees could see a road rescue demonstration and learn how to stay safe before, during and after storms. Attendees also had the opportunity to find out what it’s like to volunteer and were treated to a free sausage sizzle. Grey skies loomed for most of the day, however, the rain held off until close to the end of the event.

Canteen’s closed Police said investigators believe offenders broke into the premises and stole food and drinks before leaving the property. The investigation into the incident is ongoing. In the Facebook post, Ms Atkinson said the canteen staff had not been advised of the break-in until Monday morning when they arrived to work at 7.30am. “It has been very disappointing and frustrating the lack of security that all parties concerned have afforded us, especially when our
concerns have been raised repeatedly around such break-ins,” she said. “We can longer justify the cost to our business and the possible further costs that another break in may occur.” Ms Atkinson said it was disappointing to leave without having the chance to say goodbye to the school community. “We would like to take the opportunity to thank those students and staff that we have
had the pleasure of serving in the last 10+ years at Pakenham Secondary College,” she said. “It has been a pleasure and wish you all well in future endeavours.” A spokesperson for the Department of Education and Training said the school’s canteen services would continue and was currently in the tender process. “Expressions of interest close at the end of next week,” they said.
