WOODANILLING PRIMARY SCHOOL BANNERS IN THE
TERRACE COMPETITION
Lindy D’Mellow and the Woodanilling Primary schools students have
created an outstanding banner to be hung in Perth as part of the Banners
in the Terrace competition. This competition is held annually and is keenly
contested by many regional towns, there is a waiting list each year to
enter a banner and Woodanilling was lucky enough to secure a spot this
year.
The banners are exhibited along St Georges and Adelaide Terraces in Perth
and this competition allows communities and regions throughout Western
Australia to represent themselves to thousands of people travelling along
these routes each day.
It is a much anticipated part of the annual WA Local Government
Convention and Trade Exhibition with this year’s theme being LOCAL
IMPACT.
The display will be exhibited from Sunday 24th July through to Saturday 6th
August.
When asked what inspired the banner design Lindy said “To be honest I did the design at the last minute,
being a new Principal at the school, I was pretty busy. I didn’t therefore have time to get the community
involved in the design, which I certainly would next time. When the Shire me and told me that the design
was needed, I thought what represents Woodanilling. Firstly I included the school’s logo at the bottom of
the banner. I then googled Woodanilling and what appeared first were beautiful pictures of patchwork
farms and considering the majority of our students come from farms I knew that this was a good
representation of our community. When I first drove into Woody, I was taken by the ‘Men’s Shed’,
thinking at first it was a charming old-fashioned shop. When I discovered the story of the refurbishing of
the shed and how it had become a meeting place for men in the community to work on community
projects”.
“I included this in the design as it was my first memory of seeing Woody and it also represented the
community spirit that is present. The tree is the beautiful Salmon Gum that sits in amongst the new units
in town, which can be seen clearly from the school. It was painted orange as it’s a complimentary colour
to the blue sky, but it stands tall above Woody and I wanted it to stand out. The rest of the banner, the
canola, wheat and sheep represent the primary produce of the area. The banner design is based on
things I first took in when I came to the community”.
The following students painted the banner: Mereki Hannan, William Mader, John Murray, Hugh Murray,
Anne Patrick, Charlotte Patrick, Joseph Shackley, Serenity Shackley, Jakob Shackley, Harry Wilcox and
Faith Miles-Linley. Well done to all of these students for the great efforts they put into getting the
banner finished.

Students in Wagin electorate get tech-savvy
Primary students at 29 public schools around the Wagin electorate are set to benefit from new
tablets, laptops, desktop computers and accessories, thanks to the State Government’s
$20 million Primary Device Program.
Local MP Terry Waldron said the local schools were among hundreds across Western Australia
receiving funding to purchase new hardware and software.
“Access to technology like this is incredibly important in developing students’ digital literacy,” Mr
Waldron said.
Along with the new devices, which include iPads and desktop computers, funding has allowed for
the purchase of accessories such as charging stations, trolleys, power boards and monitors.
Nationals WA Candidate for Roe Peter Rundle said school funds were matched dollar for dollar
by the State Government up to a total of $20 million.
Mr Rundle said the technology would be integrated carefully into learning programs.
“IT devices are powerful tools for helping students improve their literacy and numeracy skills,
when combined with a balanced education program,” he said.
The local schools to receive the equipment are –
Borden Primary School
Darkan Primary School
East Narrogin Primary School
Gairdner Primary School
Jerramungup DHS
Kendenup Primary School
Kulin DHS
Lake King Primary School
Narrogin Primary School
Nyabing Primary School

Woody Men’s Shed
At the Richardson – Men’s Shed, Store on the corner
of Robinson Road and Burt Road Woodanilling.
JULY 2016
After a couple of busy months, June brought the cold and wet weather and
everything slowed down. We did manage to get three coats of paint onto
the new wood storage shed.
We didn’t like the first colour we put on – a bit too bright.
So Glen sprayed another 2 coats of a much softer colour on.
All we need now is some dry weather so we can fill it up.
Shane and Glen have started work on making some
Planter box’s. These can be made to order for you.
What we need to know from you is:
How big (long – wide & high) ?
Do you want it made from salvaged material or from new steel?
Do you want it painted or left natural? (you can paint it)
All of these things will depend on the price they will need to charge you.
As mentioned last month we have collected about 30kg of screws bolts & nuts etc from items
that have been dismantled, and they need to be sorted into they group types and sizes. This is a
great job that can be done on a cold winters day sitting around a table with the fire burning in
the back ground to keep us warm. Please let us know if you are available to help out.
The Woody Men’s Shed is now open
every TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY from 9am to about midday
New members are welcome to come and join us having fun.
Membership is only $40.00 per year to cover our public liability insurance.
Membership is from March to February each year.
If you have a project, you would like us to have a go at, (nothing urgent, please)

WOODANILLING CWA
Woodanilling CWA are pleased to announce that we will subsidise to the full amount of $180.00
to any young person who would like to attend this Weekend. Please contact Marj Winstanley on
0428 844 586 for the application form.
We would like to thank the Woodanilling Shire for the gravel and spreading of it in front of the
cottage for the car park, it is much appreciated.
Our next meeting is the 18th of July.
To all our friends and acquaintances…
We take this opportunity to thank you for your help, financially and physically, offers of help,
general enquiry of our wellbeing and being available whenever we had the need to tell somebody some things.
Although we never doubted it, the judge viewed our case favourably. The ink is almost dry and
although an appeal was lodged it has recently been dropped.
Meanwhile we have relocated us and some of the toys to Wagin. This property is commonly
known as “Blakey’s”. It was set up by Ian Blake in 1982 and of course suits us adequately.
Leaving the farm was a pre court agreement, not made lightly but time to move on. As soon as
we get our sh_t together and the unpacking is complete, we plan to have an open house gathering for all those who wish to attend. For all those who would like to come and see where and
how we live we look forward to spending some time with as many people as possible. We will
use the Wongi, word of mouth and of course the telephone to let people know when we have
got this organised.
But of course, if anyone would like to take the chance on catching us at home, please feel encouraged to do so any time.
Our new address is 97 Khedive Street Wagin 6315 Our new landline number is 98 611 691 and
our mobiles are unchanged Pete’s 0429611241 and Erika 0427231505

something to offer to nominate for this position.
NEWS
PIRATE DAY
There was piracy at Woody Primary on Wednesday 15th June, as the school was over-run with pirates.
The primary aim of Pirate Day is to increase awareness of and to raise funds for research into finding
a cure for Childhood Brain Cancer. Thanks to everyone for the effort they put into their costumes
and raising a small amount to go towards childhood cancer research.
WOODY PLAYGROUP
Woody school has been working with Playgroup WA and a playgroup is starting at the school in week 2
of next term, Tuesday 26th July from 9.30-11.30. The Education Department endorses links between
schools and playgroups and benefits young children in preparing them for school. The playgroup allows
pre school children to familiarise themselves with the school environment, socialise and engage in fun
play activities that are pre-literacy and numeracy based; socialise; participate in art and craft, story
time, songs and rhymes. Woody is the first playgroup at a school in the great southern and we are
very excited to welcome parents and their children into our school for what is first and foremost in a
playgroup, play!.
If you have any questions regarding Woody Playgroup, please contact the school on 9823 1528.
DINOSAUR BONES FOUND AT SCHOOL
The Year 1 to 3 students went on an archaeological dig at school and uncovered dinosaur bones as part
of their Science program. The dig was cordoned off by tape and the students went in searching for
bones. Carefully brushing away sand, like archaeologists do, to reveal bones which are yet to carbon
dated. You never know, a new Jurassic discovery could be on the way!!
BANNERS IN THE TERRACE
The school is busy painting this years entry into the 2016 Banners in the Terrace. We are aiming to
finish the banner by the end of week 9, 24th June. Before we send the banner to the Shire to send
to the city for display in St Georges and Adelaide Terraces we are hoping to hang the banner for a
day in the undercover area of the school to enable the school population and community to come and
have a look. More information, closer to the date will be released through the school. The children
are doing a great job of the painting and thanks to the Shire for supporting the school in this project.
TREES AT FRONT OF SCHOOL
Unfortunately the two trees at the front of the school are being removed. After the last storm,
where a large branch fell onto the driveway, the Department has deemed the trees unsafe due to earlier pruning that has weakened the branches and made them likely to fall. The close proximity to the
buildings has meant they need to be removed. We are sad to see the beautiful trees go and have been
advised to replace them with bushes or shrubs.

COMMENTS IN PASSING
One of our local farmers out west discovered the hazards of losing the air in his truck. His trailer was tipped up to the maximum, lost the air, he went back to close the tailgate, air came
back up, truck started rolling. It was a very exhilarating 40 metre dash to the cab to jam on the
brakes.
___________________________________________________________
During seeding one of our local farmers had worked hard all day and halfway into the night, he
knocked off and went home. One of his sons got a phone call from his aunt just before midnight because she had become concerned when she realised that the tractor she could hear
had actually been stationary for a number of hours and she went up to the paddock to check,
only to find no one around. Nephew had to walk her through how to turn off the tractor!
___________________________________________________________
One of our local farmers (and it might be one of the ones in the previous story) went off
spreading his fertilizer only to discover, when stopped by a neighbour, that he had fertilised a
few kilometres of roadway.
___________________________________________________________
It has come to the attention of a few locals that we may have a hypnotist in our midst. A statement was made in the tavern a couple of weeks ago that a certain gentleman had the ability.
So now we are looking for a couple of volunteers and we could have an entertaining evening
ahead of us.
THANK YOU
“Thanks to all the people who have helped me during my illness. I cannot name them all but you
know who you are. I am very grateful for all you have done”.
