Message from the Principal

Hi Everyone, I would like to introduce Mrs Anna Baumgarth who is joining the Montrose Primary School community in the role of chaplain. Anna comes to us with a broad range of experience in pastoral care ranging from providing support for babies and toddlers, working with school aged children as well as adults who have found themselves in times of immense need. Anna comes to Montrose after the school was successful in applying to increase our chaplaincy funding to two days.

Anna will be at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She will be moving around the classes during the next week to introduce herself to the children and staff. If your child has a need to see the chaplain please call the school office or Kylie Fisher to arrange an introduction.

Neil Pollard

Value of the Week:Value of the Week:Value of the Week:Value of the Week: ForgivenessForgivenessForgivenessForgiveness

Forgiveness means that if someone hurts you, you are prepared to give the person another chance. Everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes we do things that we wish we had not done; that is when we need to learn to forgive ourselves. We need to know that we can change our behaviour if that situation occurs again.

Residents of Yarra Ranges

Fire Danger Restrictions Now in Force The Fire Danger Period is now in force across the Yarra Ranges Municipality. The introduction of these fire restrictions means that residents can no longer burn off without a permit. The fire restrictions will remain in force until 1 May unless revoked earlier. Further details can be found in CFA’s Can I or Can’t I brochure available at www.cfa.vic.gov.au or by phoning the Victorian Bushfire Information Line (VBIL) on 1800 240 667.

Fire Restrictions: the details

• During the fire danger period, a permit is required to burn-off grass, undergrowth or weeds. This permit is issued by the Yarra Ranges Council Municipal Fire Prevention Officer.

o Yarra Ranges Council is unlikely to issue a permit during the Fire Danger Period and

will request that all other means of fuel reduction or fire management controls are

explored.

• Barbeques and fires for cooking, do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces, within limits of wind speed and clearance perimeter and are to supervised at all times.

• All burn-offs should be registered with the Vic-Fire Burn-off Notification Line on 1800 668 511.

• Lighting a fire in the open without a permit is an offence and can bring a penalty of up to $5,500 or 12 months imprisonment

• The Can I or Can’t I? brochure, also available from the CFA website, details the fire restrictions regime, including the differences between fire restrictions and Total Fire Ban days.

• CFA’s On the Land: Agricultural Fire Management Guidelines provides practical fire management advice for people living and working on rural properties and is useful to those new to farming. To view and/or download the guidelines, go the www.cfa.vic.gov.au

• For additional information on council restrictions during the Fire Danger period, go to the Yarra Ranges Council website at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au
