St Malachy's School Edenhope


Friday October 22nd.
Headed north west after school on the invitation of Angela Keely, principal of St Malachy's, Edenhope. Took about two and a half hours and Angela was waiting to show me around. Four very spacious rooms for only 40 kids. Outside they had a massive oval 9field) which they were about to cover with astro turf. They even had a proper lighting system.
Tony (husband and local farmer) joined us for dinner in the Golf Club. I noticed on the way in that it was only $15 green fees for 18 and $10 for nine. There was a prize giving ceremony for a nine hole competition called 'The Chicken Run'. There was a prize for male and female of, you've guessed it-a chicken! There was also a 'Sparrow Run' for the juniors but prize was a golf ball. Entry fee for nine hole competition was $4. All meals were $12 and the cooking was done voluntarily. This country has been built on volunteerism. Every club, society and school depends on it.
