AND AWAY WE GO: Tim Brimelow of Warracknabeal, flanked by his son George and wife Teresa, will jet off to Disneyland in America after winning ACE Radio Horsham’s The Wish List competition. Mr Brimelow was one of 30 finalists in the competition, which encouraged people to shop locally and keep their trade in the region. He entered the competition by shopping for a new air-conditioner at Warrack Refrigeration and Air Conditioning at Warracknabeal. The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM had been promoting the competition, which offered 30 prizes ranging from overseas holidays and experiences to cars, since October. Weekly finalists nominated their preferred prizes, which were then drawn by a process of elimination in Harvey Norman Horsham car park on Saturday. The last prize drawn and winner was Mr Brimelow’s Disneyland adventure. Finalists were from across the Wimmera, including Horsham, Ararat, Murtoa and Donald. The Brimelows had recently returned from a trip to Disneyland and had been so impressed they nominated a follow-up visit with their finalist qualification. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER
Money for college O
BY DEAN LAWSON
ngoing development of Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College into a burgeoning P-12 school has gained momentum with a $2.2-million State Government funding injection.
The Trinity Drive college, undergoing major transformation at Sunnyside in Horsham East, will use the money as part of a $3.3-million stage-two development of its senior campus.
The college is among independent schools across Victoria to share in more than $70-million in State Government fuding through the first round of a $402-million four-year Non-Government Schools Capital Fund. Holy Trinity college principal Daniel Weller said news about the funding yesterday had generated considerable excitement. “We’re very excited. Since 2012 our school has been growing and building
from junior school to middle school to senior school. To get this added boost from the government is a great gift and continues to support what we want to do as a P-12 college for Horsham and the wider region,” he said. “This commitment will help us complete plans for our senior school and main reception area. It will mean we have additional classrooms, science labs, a sport-science area and new senior-site gymnasium.”
Mr Weller said the school had been delaying the next stage of infrastructure development while it assessed finances, but would now push strongly ahead with plans. “We will be putting the project to tender as soon as possible with plans for building to start in February,” he said. “We will also look to have the work completed by the end of the year and have classes timetabled for the
site for 2021.” The school opened its new state-of-the-art senior campus this year, which included general learning areas, tutorial rooms and an agora, and welcomed its first year-12 students. The State Government announced recipients of the funding round as Premier Daniel Andrews and Education minister James Merlino visited a school in Melbourne. Continued page 3
