EXCITING NEWS

Maree Edwards - our local member for Bendigo West - called me on Monday with the very exciting news that Winters Flat would receive $2.9 million in this May state budget. This means we can continue to improve our buildings and facilities.

We are very grateful for the efforts of Maree, Katie Wilson and members of our school community past and present who lobbied so strongly for this funding. 

The nature of the project will be officially announced following discussions with the Department of Education and Training.

ELECTION DAY

The cake stall and barbecue was a great success and even though the number of voters was down we still made $977.00.

A very special thanks to parents, staff and members of school council who baked for the stall and helped with cooking and serving.

We would also like to acknowledge the generous donation of:
• Bacon and sausages from Don
• Eggs from Bruce Pauly from Bruce’s Kitchen as well as the Honest Egg Co, Daylesford
• Bread from Bakers Delight, Castlemaine

The money raised will go towards additional blinds in the new building.
