Are you looking to build your new home and have no idea where to start? Then a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom is a good place to start. And Triton Building Co have some great designs to choose from. You can change them to suit your style or leave them as they are.

Just some of the designs available are:

The ‘Kalumba’ is a great design for narrow blocks or where side access is needed. It is centred around a great kitchen and designed for entertaining. This livable home will tick all the boxes. The bedrooms have been placed towards the rear of the home, ideal if your site is on a busy street or you have a shift worker in the house.

The ‘Dandalup’ is a great plan for the first home owner or if you are looking to downsize. Has a lovely open kitchen, dining, living area and alfresco area.

The ‘Helena’ is well proportioned and boasts a massive main bedroom. There is ample storage throughout with generous, practical kitchen and wet areas. This is ideal for the modern family or as a great investment home.

The ‘Victoria’ was originally designed to allow the use of the alfresco area in summer, while being sheltered from the southerly winds. This home boasts a generous walk through kitchen and a beautifully defined entry to impress your guests. The large master bedroom, ensuite and walk in robe allows you to feel pampered every day of the year. This design also has a separate games room and study.

The ‘Mackenzie’ was originally designed to accommodate a site with a frontal view. This is a well proportioned home with a large kitchen, theatre room and alfresco, and heaps of storage with the built in robes and linen cupboards.

The ‘Murchison’ is a large home with raised ceilings to the master bedroom and projected façade tastefully framing the bedroom windows, creating an exciting and aesthetically pleasing frontage that will set this home apart from the neighbours. Huge walk in pantry and walk in robe in the master bedroom, gives ample space for storage. Large rooms and luxurious living is the ‘Murchison’

Staff Appreciation Day at Strathalbyn Christian College

/

Have you heard about the National Day of Thanks?
This year it was held in May and it’s an opportunity for people to say thank you to the people around you. Sometimes we take people for granted. For example, the bus driver or the rubbish truck driver. We would rarely run out to the road to say thank you for collecting my rubbish. What would happen if we did? Well, I suspect that the Rubbish Collection person would feel really happy that someone has recognised and appreciated the work that they do. So, it’s important to say thank you once in a while.

At school, there are many areas that have to work together to prepare for each day, such as Administration, Library Staff, IT, Grounds People, Bus Drivers, Teachers and Education Assistants. We all have a job to do however it’s nice to hear a thank you every now and then.

At Strathalbyn Christian College they take the time to appreciate each other and they set aside one day particularly to say Thank You - Staff Appreciation Day.

On this day, students can dress up as Teachers and Teachers can dress up as students. The students had lots of fun dressing up as their favourite teacher or staff member. Students prepare Certificates of Appreciation that they present to the Teachers and Staff of the College in recognition of the work they do each day.

Cleaning staff – Ronell Neveling, Claire O’Brien, Chanelle Wennekes, Skye Hogan and Caraline Harrold

Relief teacher – Michelle Lake and Hannah Easton

Teachers – Jarad Grimsley, Jenine Steenekamp, Khatarina Rahayu, Kristen Fenby and Lachlan Anderson

Principal Mr Gavin Hirschhausen and Year 2 Student Theo Hollander Dressed up as Mr Hirsch

Mrs Fiona Davidson (Communications Officer) and student Minna Hilton (Head Girl), Minna is dressed as Mrs Davidson.
