School Crossing Supervisors Needed

The City of Greater Bendigo is currently in the process of recruiting for school crossing supervisors. For more information and to apply, please refer to the council website.

 

V/Line Service Changes

Due to West Gate Tunnel Project works, there will be service changes for parts of the journey between Southern Cross, Bendigo, Swan Hill and Echuca from Saturday 29 July until Sunday 13 August. This will affect any students who travel between Melbourne and Bendigo (Swan Hill Line), or Melbourne and Sunbury (Bendigo and Echuca lines). 

 

Students can plan their journey using the V/Line or PTV journey planner. There is also a PDF temporary timetable available to download from the V/Line website.

 

For more information, please refer to the online resources available for the Bendigo and Echuca lines and the Swan Hill line.

 

Supporting Intensive Care Auxiliary Bendigo Health

On the third Thursday of each month, a hardworking group of volunteers runs a stall at Bendigo Health selling many different things, but the most popular are the home-baked cakes and slices. Apparently, they are sold out in the first hour because they are so popular.  The volunteers raise funds to provide equipment not funded by the government for patient care, including items for patient comfort, and entertainment for residents in aged care homes. They also donate towards scholarships for Critical Care Nurses.

 

The members of this group donate not only their time but all of the ingredients and power to provide a variety of cooked items for the stall to sell. As the cost of ingredients and power increases, it is becoming more difficult for members to provide sufficient items for the stall to sell and they are losing out on the opportunity to raise as much money as possible for these worthwhile causes.

 

So this is where we can help. Each house has been allocated an item of food to donate so these wonderful volunteers can continue raising the much-needed funds. For the next two weeks, there will be a box outside each Head of House's office waiting to be filled with your donations.
