ousands of western suburbs students are learning in a growing number of sub-standard portable classrooms, new gures have revealed.

In some schools, more than half the students will study this year in relocatable buildings.

An Education Department tender document has outlined that population growth, high-density suburban development and emerging regional growth corridors and constraints on capital investment have increased the demand for portables.

West goes goes goes economy economy economy classAustralian Education Union

Victorian branch president Meredith Peace blamed a lack of foresight for the unprecedented number of portables popping up at school grounds in the west. She said there needed to be more investment in, and planning for, the states growth corridors.

eres a desperate need for schools and those schools havent been built quickly enough, Ms Peace said.

I think were seeing a greater pressure on relocatables because the previous government

didnt act fast enough to ensure we had new schools.

A spokesman for the department said relocatables oered a exible and ecient solution to address various issues.

e relocatables provide state-of-the-art learning environments comparable to a schools permanent classrooms, the spokesman said.

Melbournes outer western suburbs are the fastest-growing area of Victoria. So schools in the area typically receive more of the relocatables.

e number of portable classroom

transfers across the state is expected to rise from about 160 in 2012-13 to 260 this nancial year. Meanwhile, 61 portable classrooms were transferred to schools in the western suburbs last nancial year, followed by 58 in the south, 53 in the north and 24 in the east.

e department is now seeking expressions of interest to transfer the buildings in a bid to cut the programs annual cost of $30-$40 million.

e Andrews government made an election pledge of $50 million to replace 250 portable classrooms and $510 million to rebuild schools across the state.

A Jurassic world has come to life at Woodgrove shopping centre as life-sized moving dinosaurs roar into town for the holidays. Youngsters can discover all manner of animatronic dinosaurs, including Triceratops, just as a paleontologist would. Eoin and Montanah (pictured) put on lab coats and eye shields before busily chipping away on their own take-home fossils. Daily guided dino tours are hosted by rangers at 11am, noon and 1pm, before a campre yarn and dinosaur story time, and there will be new activities each week until Friday, January 30.

Housing aordability and family breakdowns have forced many Melton people from their homes in the past year.

Melton councils housing services recorded about 1500 calls for help during 2014.

Melton councils acting family, youth and housing manager, Rohna Pedretti, says there is an ongoing demand for housing assistance in the city.

Many contributing factors are leading to people experiencing homelessness or being at risk of homelessness, Ms Pedretti said.

ese factors can include family or relationship breakdown; family or partner violence; abuse or neglect; drug, alcohol or gambling addictions; family homelessness; unemployment and poverty; and lack of aordable housing.

Data released by the Council to Homeless Persons indicates the number of homeless people in Melton climbed 30 per cent between the 2006 and 2011 censuses.

While homeless numbers at Moorabool are slightly lower, even one is a huge concern, mayor Paul Tatchell said.

is isnt a governments problem; this problem belongs to everybody, Cr Tatchell said.

Not everyone has the capacity to bail themselves out of the problem. is problem will grow until we, as people, start to take some role in being humans to other humans.

And Bacchus Marsh locals Peter Turner and Gavin Fenech have opted to play their part by raising money to help the citys most vulnerable residents.

I had a limited perspective of what it meant to be homeless and we just assume theres an issue with drugs, Mr Fenech said.

Humanity in demand

Peter Turner and Gavin Fenech are behind a music festival to help the homeless. (Kristian Scott)

Its hard to relate to [what makes people homelessness], but some people assume theres going to be a level of freedom aer all the abuse and feelings of insecurity they experience.

People are living in makeshi camps under bridges and down in the bushes.

e pair helped organise a music festival last weekend to raise money for a caravan park in Bacchus Marsh, similar to the one in Ballan, which has been very successful.

A special guest will visit Moorabool Shire on Australia Day.

Christine Durham, this years Australia Day ambassador, will join the shires celebrations on Monday, January 26.

Dr Durham, the 2014 Victorian senior Australian of the year, had her life changed aer sustaining a severe brain injury in a horric car accident.

She woke up in intensive care with multiple breaks to more than half her ribs, a brain injury resulting in diculty speaking, eating, thinking and walking; and a fractured orbit in her le eye and double vision.

But Dr Durham was determined to ght her way back. She used her experiences to inspire others and has since written books, conducted workshops and gained an international reputation as a professional learning presenter.

I do a lot of talking to people about having your life changed, being positive and nding ways to help yourself, Dr Durham said.

Triumph is made up of two words try and umph. Never give up, no matter what happens.

Dr Durham will share her story at the councils Australia Day ceremony.

I think its very important that people see that everything is possible, that pigs can y and amazing things can happen, she said.

Dr Durham will also present award recipients with a hope stone.

She said the stone represented something very hard, a reminder we can tackle the hard stu.

And on the stone is a star to remind recipients that by tackling the hard issues they can reach for the stars.

Brazen thieves have been robbing car washes in the western suburbs.

Sergeant Andrew Button, of the Melton crime investigation unit, warned locals to keep an eye out for thieves targeting car washes, mainly in Melton, Caroline Springs, Gisborne and Werribee.

Weve noticed a series of break-ins at car washes where people are trying to steal loose change from coin tins, Sergeant Button said. We think the break-ins are related.

Sergeant Button declined to comment on the nature of investigation but said police were pursuing a number of leads.

They believe the thieves are three men in their early 20s.

They try to gain access to the [coin machines], Sergeant Button said.

They cause a lot of damage to the machines and to the coin mechanisms in the process.

He said the spree started last month and the thieves had already broken into 10 car washes.

They had robbed some premises more than once.

Theyre mostly opportunistic crimes, happening at night or in the early hours of the morning, Sergeant Button said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Jet skiers and boaters now have more banking area at Pykes Creek Reservoir following zoning changes.

Southern Rural Water has developed zones at the creek to allow for one access area to cater for water skiing and a larger area for mooring vessels.

Water supply manager Edward Smith said the new zones would increase the safety for all those on the water over summer.

ese days, the number of jet skis at Pykes far outweighs the number of boats and other vessels put together, Mr Smith said.

at means there are a lot more vessels on the water to manage, and we need more bank areas where they can moor when theyre not being used.

Mr Smith said Southern Rural Water had also created a separate area for non-motorised craft, such as canoes.

is way, water skiers, jet skiers and canoeists can all use the reservoir more safely, he said.

For safety reasons, there is a cap of 80 vessels on the water at any one time.

e changes have been endorsed by the Pykes Creek community advisory committee to help plan for long-term management of the recreational facilities at the reservoir.

For more information about the zoning changes, call South Rural Water on 1300 139 510.

More space for watercraftBy Yasemin Talat

A gate separating properties on Lohs Lane in Myrniong is dividing residents, with one couple ghting for its removal.

Scott and Olivia Fisher applied unsuccessfully to the council last May for cancellation of an agricultural licence, which applies to 500 metres of the lane, and for the gate to go.

Under conditions of the agricultural licence, a gate is required. But Mr Fisher said the land was no longer used for agriculture and the gate blocked access to his property.

Four properties on Lohs Lane are outside the gate; three are behind it.

Mrs Fisher said her property was hard to reach.

Its our only access, she said. Everyone should have access to their property.

e Fishers will submit a new request at the February council meeting, asking that Lohs Lane no longer be classied an unused road.

Mrs Fisher said the familys main concern was that while it was deemed unused, that part of Lohs Lane would not be maintained.

Were hoping the council uses common sense and says, How can we have three houses and no road that leads there?, she said.

Ambulance Victoria, Bacchus Marsh police and Myrniong re brigade have all expressed their concerns over the road, and letters from each will be presented at the council meeting.

A petition signed by more than 50 road users, including delivery drivers, tradesmen and visitors, will also be submitted.

Neighbour Monica Bartels, who told the council in May the gate should be closed at all times to stop o-road bikes, said this week: I nd it strange the matter is again before council given the council gave it due and proper consideration in May.

Fenced in and shut out

Bathurst burr alertMoorabool residents are being warned to watch out for Bathurst burr, a very prickly thistle that pops up after summer rain. The weed has spikes that cause animals to go lame; it gets in their wool and injures shearers. It can also can cause nasty injuries to people and puncture bicycle tyres. The weed often grows beside roads and tracks, and in cropping paddocks, and the best way to deal with it is to hoe it out, bag it and burn it. Details http://www.depi.vic.gov.au

Jail after ice spreeOne of two men who went on a spree across western Victoria over 12 months, stealing goods valued at $250,000, was sentenced to 20 months jail last Thursday.

Hunter has a non-parole period of seven months.

Consumer Aairs Victoria has urged Wyndham residents to be wary of travelling conmen following reports of two men oering bitumen repairs in the Little River area.

In both cases, residents were approached by the men saying a job down the road had been cancelled and suggesting they could do work at a cheap price.

Aer becoming suspicious, residents refused to hand over money.

Wyndham police crime prevention ocer Craig McDonald encouraged people to be vigilant about common rip-os, such as cheap roof repair deals.

Leading Senior Constable McDonald said residents were typically approached by two men who claimed to have noticed damage to their roof while doing repairs on a neighbouring house.

ey will then make up a quote and barter with the home owner for a cash deal to x it, he said.

ey may even get on the roof and actually remove tiles, looking like they are doing some work, but then once they have the cash they will leave and never come back, leaving a gaping hole.

Consumer Aairs Victoria director Claire Noone said travelling conmen usually demanded cash up front for jobs such as asphalting, roong work, painting and gardening, then disappeared leaving poor- quality or incomplete work.

e annual David Calleja Memorial Car Show is revving into Bacchus Marsh this February for its 10th year.

e car show is run by Djerriwarrh Health Services in memory of David Calleja who was an inuential businessman and devoted community member.

Mr Calleja was an avid car collector, and his family continues to display rare and unique automobiles at the show.

Since its beginning, the car show has grown rapidly and now features more than 750 cars and 100 bikes, as well as trucks.

All funds raised from the car show are used to buy medical equipment for the Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital and for Melton Health.

Djerriwarrh Health Services director James Rubeli said the car show was a major fundraiser,

without which local services would not be able to purchase much-needed equipment.

e show attracts as many as 5000 people each year, and the numbers are growing.

is years main attraction will be a 1914 Vermorel, which was built in France and is the only original of its kind in the world.

A Proud Community Growing Together

Melton City Council Community NewsMOVING AHEAD

Happy New Year!The Christmas rush is well and truly behind us, and I for one hope that all our residents enjoyed a safe and joyous festive season with family and friends. Summer is well and truly upon us so now is a great time to get out

and enjoy all the fun- lled activities our wonderful community has to offer. A great family event that I encourage all residents to attend is Councils Australia Day celebrations at the Willows Historical Park, next Monday.Australia Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the great things this country has to offer, and welcome all the new citizens who have chosen to call our community home. So, come along and enjoy kids activities and live entertainment.

Those of you who have been getting out and making the most of our long, summer days will certainly have noticed the marked increase in the number of trees and shrubs popping up throughout our community.

Council has an extensive tree planting program that improves the look and feel of neighbourhoods, while providing shade and attracting wildlife. Over 2,000 trees have been planted in the last year across the City, including Melton, Diggers Rest, Caroline Springs and Rockbank, to name a few.

Council also has a responsive tree planting program for residents whod like a tree planted on their nature strip. If you are willing to water the tree regularly to help establish it and would like more information, contact Council on 9747 7200.

I am available to meet with residents most Saturday mornings from 9am, by appointment. Please contact Barb McKenzie on 9747 7200 to book a time, or contact me directly on 0412 584 224 or via email at [email protected]

Lessons for lifeA growing number of studies show that music lessons in childhood can do something perhaps more valuable for the brain than childhood gains: provide benets for the long run, as we age, in the form of an added defense against memory loss, cognitive decline, and diminished ability to distinguish consonants and spoken words.Not only that, you may well get those benets even if you havent tickled the ivories, strummed the guitar, or unpacked your instrument from its case in years. And dividends could even be in store if you decide to pick up an instrument for the very rst time in midlife or beyond.Piano teachers across the world will have heard, I wish I had learned piano as a child time and time again. Adults assume that if they didnt learn to play piano as a child, then its simply too late.Yet not only are adult piano lessons more often than not extremely rewarding, but adults have a number of advantages in learning piano compared to children.

Most children sing and dance almost as soon as they walk, often in front of the TV mimicking The Wiggles. Not only is dancing a great way to keep youngsters entertained but it also has health and cognitive benets.Its a great way to improve strength and exibility, posture and balance, and helps children express themselves, according to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, one of the worlds leading dance examination boards. Some kids may be bored running around a track or playing other sports but dancing provides them with a fun way to keep t and out of trouble while meeting new friends.Dancing helps with co-ordination, which is necessary for many other sports and life activities. And bopping along to a beat is ideal for children to improve their memory by learning new steps and moves for various routines. Non-verbal communication is another skill toe-tappers can add to their repertoire, which is something they learn while boogieing.Local dance schools offer a range of dance classes suited to boys and girls, whether they choose to be a ballerina or a hip-hop, tap, rap or jazz dancer.Singing to favourite songs is part of the dance experience and can be benecial to young minds too. Singing helps in childrens speech development and language construction, along with teaching them about tone, beat and rhythm.Dance schools often have singing classes as part of their programs, allowing children to embrace two things they love while being creative and learning, probably without even realising it.Parents looking for new activities to keep their kids away from computer games and too much TV may nd their local dance school has the answer. With classes catering for toddlers through to teens, theres bound to be a move and grove session that appeals.

Built about 12 years ago and in popular Princeton Park estate, this is a house decorated in a style that older buyers will nd appealing. But what makes it an actual all-rounder is that, with very few cosmetic changes (a lick of paint and different window furnishings), it would become a place that a young family will relish. And the amount of work done in the backyard is amazing, perfect for all-age buyers looking to have a ready-made, beautifully done, outdoor area.

Entry is into a tiled hallway, to the right of which is an open carpeted lounge room with windows dressed in top-quality drapes. That same look can be found in

the main bedroom, opposite, which has a set of four mirrored robes and an en suite with a spa and timber vanity unit. Two more bedrooms are down a carpeted hallway from the living hub, each with mirrored robes; they share a separate toilet, and a bathroom with Tassy oak vanity unit.

The entry hall continues, bisecting a carpeted dining room on one side which has a full wall of built-in Tassy oak cabinetry; and a study on the other side, also with built-in cabinetry including a desk.

At halls end comes the living hub, with a tiled meals area under an angled

ceiling, and a large, carpeted family room (pitched ceiling) with two bay windows sporting window seats; in here, theres a freestanding sectional display cabinet delivering plenty of storage.

The kitchen has Tassy oak cupboards, a big walk-in pantry, a concealed dishwasher, wall oven and 900mm gas cooktop and a garden window behind the sink providing garden views.

Outside, its a feast of fragrance and colour. A timber walkway heads from the meals zone to a pair of pergolas, both drenched with wisteria one pink, one mauve. The walkway continues on to become an arched bridge over ornamental
