School holidays

Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (13:06): I wish all our principals, teachers, support staff and students a great last week of term and an enjoyable Easter holiday. Term 1 is such a busy start to the school year, with new students commencing, school camps and excursions, NAPLAN, swimming and athletics sports days, performing arts rehearsals and plenty of out-of-school sport, including rowing, cricket and basketball. I want to thank everyone in our schools who has worked so hard across the term to make it a positive and constructive term, and I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break.

Talking of school holidays, Ballarat is a great place to come and visit for a day trip or a mini break. Come and enjoy our gold rush heritage, streetscapes, botanic gardens, diverse cafe and dining options, distilleries and bars, farmers markets and galleries. A trip to Ballarat is an outstanding way to spend the Easter period, and with our fair regional V/Line fares, the most you will pay is $11 full fare and $5.50 concession.
