School is all but done for 2025. I had the pleasure and opportunity to attend both the Home Hill and Ayr State High Schools academic awards nights and I was blown away. The academic achievements of our local children/teens are nothing short of impressive. Several students received early admissions to university and others received not one but multiple Dux awards. Well done to all our students and the future looks bright for you and for the Burdekin.
I also attended the Burdekin Football Club annual awards night recently. Listening to the achievements of all the players and hearing the speeches from captains and players, had this proud old Burdekin Panther reminiscing of the glory days. Congratulations to the Ladies Team who took out the Division1 Grand final earlier this year. By the sounds of the comradery and team spirit, I think they can go back-to-back next year! Congratulations to all the players who received awards. It was also great to see a club celebrate their volunteers and highlight those who embody that club spirit. Well done to all.
Congratulations to the Harvest Festival Committee for once again putting together an action-packed series of events. All the events were well organised and very well attended. It was great to see so much effort and pride go into the 38 floats that went down Eighth Avenue. Congratulations to all the winners of all the events.
It is Movember, and that means a month of Moustaches being sported to raise awareness of men’s health issues. What started as a small idea among friends in Australia, has grown into Movember, a global movement dedicated to raising awareness and funds for some of the most pressing issues affecting men today. Such as, Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Mental health and suicide prevention. Movember is the time of year when growing a moustache is not only socially acceptable—it’s encouraged. So, raise funds, raise awareness, and raise the corners of your moustache proudly.
Grow a Mo. Save a Bro.
