The Furphy Literary Award
The Furphy Literary Award was established in 1992 to promote and extend the tradition of storytelling, both factual and fictional, that is so much part of Australian life.
In 2024 the literary awards will include an open short story award, youth short story award, junior short story award, youth poetry award and junior poetry award.
The Furphy Literary Award includes award winning judges, generous prizes and most importantly the platform and opportunity for all writers to use their talents to compete at the highest standard.
In 2024 the Furphy Foundation will continue to hold a junior and youth competition as part of the awards. The junior and youth competition will be split into four categories. Please read the attached document for more information.
One of our previous students (Riley Okley) is part of the Transit Dance group who are performing a show in Mooroopna in April. If you would like to go and see Riley perform - the dance company puts on great professional shows, book here!

Junior Sports Clinics:
Coming up this April school holidays the Resilience in Recovery program is partnering with local sporting coaches to bring together a series of free Junior Sports Clinics! Young people will rotate through Football, Netball, Tennis and Cricket, having a taste of each sport for 30-minutes, with a morning tea break in the middle. We’ll provide sandwiches, fruit, and a free coffee van for the parents, you just bring along a drink bottle, and a hat if you can.
These clinics are being held in Undera, Murchison, Kialla and Mooroopna from 9:00am – 12:00pm from Monday 8 April through to Thursday 11th April. Spaces are limited, so we do need you to register if you’re coming along. Please keep in mind that this is for ages 5 to 15 years, and open to all skill levels to take part.

How about a tub of local, delicious honey?
Hi there. Some of you may have tasted my bees' honey and I'd like to say thank you for your support. I've been thinking about ways to market my honey and I've decided maybe an Easter push. So if you'd like to give a tub or a squeezy bottle of honey for Easter please fill in the order form here and I will deliver it next week.
Thanks, Logan.
My name is Logan Kempinski. I am a Year 11 student here at St Anne's. I currently have about 100 beehives housing about 60,000 bees in each hive, so that's 6,000,000 bees! located across 5 local properties around Murchison.
The bees are collecting pollen and nectar from Australian native Greybox trees. I currently have about 1200 kg of honey which I packaged into 500gm and 1kg tubs, I also have 500gm Squeezy bottles. Mum's not that thrilled with it all taking up space in her kitchen, but, oh well!
My main focus at the moment is using the bees to pollinate orchards. Orchardists need pollination to help develop the flowers which in turn produces the fruit on the trees. Obviously Spring is the busy time for this. This also creates a revenue as the Orchardists pay a rent for my hives to be on the orchards.I also breed my own Queen bees for when my hives need a new lady, but I’ll save those details for another time.
