SMGS boarders beloved furry friends
...........................................................................
At SMGS, we believe that boarding provides a home away from home. Boarders form strong friendships, and bond over adventures, shared meals, and funny tales, just like any family. But what family would be complete without a furry friend?
For the last year, the SMGS Boarding House has had a very loyal mascot. Gyro has provided boarders with snuggles, and a sympathetic ear, and has been a neverending source of hilarity.
He even has his own Instagram, managed by the students - @gyro_the_boho_doggo. Gyro is heading home to Tasmania this week, but there’s a new hound in town!
Sally had her first day in the Boarding House on Wednesday, and promptly became everyone’s newest (squirmiest) friend! She attended the Boarder’s Christmas Dinner, and is providing some very adorable distraction from the end of year madness! Today may be our last day of school here at SMGS, but we we’re already looking forward to seeing Sally in 2019!

As I’m sure you are aware, dogs make fantastic companions, teach responsibility and patience, and provide a wonderful sense of comfort. SMGS is very lucky to be able welcome Gyro and Sally into the Boarding House, and we’d love for their furry faces to be featured on the ABSA socials. They truly capture the spirit of boarding at SMGS – family!

Cooma Races... Done and dusted
..................................................................
Dry conditions made for a dusty track at Ti Tree racecourse last Saturday, but a good day’s racing was enjoyed by all. Local trainers and owners enjoyed successes, with apprentice jockey Courtney Gravener riding a treble. A highlight for Cooma Monaro Race Club was the presentation of life membership to patron Roger Norton.
More on pages 50, 51 and 55.
Well as the owner- thanks to our wonderful trainer Georgie Boucher jockey Courtney Gravener and the race sponsors, we haven’t won a Cup before.
Connections? A mention of owners and trainers names would have been nice.
Well done Georgie & crew!! Agree with Leisa Caldwell though - they could have put the names
Well done connections 😂😂
Well done court
Town clock for consultation
.................................................
Residents of Snowy Monaro Regional Council area have the chance to voice their opinion on the placement of a town clock on the Vale/Sharp Street roundabout in Cooma. The clock is a gift from the Litchfield family to commemorate Hazledean Stud’s 150th anniversary. Pictured: an artist’s impression of what the clock would look and right, the roundabout as its stands
Find out more on page 2.
If the clock can go on one, this should be on the other...
The clock and also The Man From Snowy River on the rock on the other roundabout, let's go crazy and show our history of the area off, it will give a sense of pride in our town
Sure but put the statue of the Man from Snowy Riveron the rock ( currently tucked just inside the park) on the other roundabout greeting people to the Snowy Mountains
Put it in the park so people actually stop and look at it and maybe spend a few $$ in the shops too. Plus the people getting off coaches at the park will be able to go look at it.
Thank you to the Litchfield Family, I think the clock looks great!
What about been able to see cars on the roundabout thats why the man from snowy river rock was not put there coz it blocked the traffic from seeing othere cars. . Don't get me wrong it looks good but.
I am all for supporting the very generous off by the Litchfield Family for the clock . I also support the MFSR statue at other roundabout (Bombala /Sharp) .
Yes, it looks good. Keep the rest of the roundabouts trimmed so that vehicles are visible. Some of the roundabouts in Cooma have such tall shrubbery that it is hopeless trying to assess what vehicles on the opposite side of the roundabout are going to do, (going straight ahead or turning) it is impossible to see their indicators let alone the vehicle itself.
How come The Man from Snowy River on the rock was considered to stop the line of sight to traffic,yet this is far larger and taller.Surely The man is way more iconic than a clock to show the entry to the area. Just saying.🐎🐎🐎
Let’s do it.. Cooma seems to be lacking when it comes to Main Street & entrance compared to other small country towns
The clock . But if it breaks down, Fix it.
The rock with the man really wouldn’t take any of the necessary visibility away. They both look awesome. Great work by the Litchfield family 😁
Remove the giveway sign. It's a given rule to give way already at a roundabout. The sign ruins the view
Peter it’s up again ! I don’t agree that either is an obstruction - at each entry to the roundabout you only give way to your right - not everyone on the roundabout- you can clearly see the road to your right at every entrance to both roundabouts regardless of what’s on them
Oh great another obstacle to block view while trying to negotiate traffic that do not indicate and almost run pedestrians down.
The clock
Clock. But please make it classically attractive.
How generous of the Litchfield family. Yes to the clock in the roundabout. I know I no longer live in Cooma but as a 4th generation Monaro girl I hope I can vote :-)
LOVE the clock amazing gesture from the Family
Um absolutely! How good does that look!
Clock looks great, put it there :). Jill Jim Liz
Also not so keen on the red brick part
The clock..
The clock
The town clock looks great, yes to the clock.

You would think the council would have watered the track before each race
What a shocking looking track...more rocks than anything
What is that surface? 😳
More dusty than dusted!
Dusted is the right word!

Kristen Whiting dodged a bullet I think.

Cricket pitch at Nijong damaged
...........................................................
The cricket pitch at Nijong Oval has been badly damaged twice in the last three weeks, requiring Council workers and volunteers to put in extra time for repairs.
Kaeliff Khoury is secretary of the Monaro District Cricket Association and volunteers his time to maintain the pitch. Every Saturday after the game he turns on the water and ropes off the pitch.
“On Sunday afternoon, I came back to check the pitch and there were bike tracks all through the mud,” he said.
