EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT
Starting school is a key transition in a child’s life.
This transition often encompasses movement to larger environments and from highly
personalised to less personalised relationships. It is a transition to a different learning
environment where a child’s resilience and self-help skills are important assets in

Susanne’s Redkite Ride for her son, Manning
“My son, Manning, was 10 when he was diagnosed with a highly malignant, aggressive
tumour inside his chest wall. He came to me one night and said ‘Mum, my chest hurts
when I lie down’. Little wonder, the sarcoma was as big as a rockmelon,” said Susanne.
Local Berowra woman and SKY News Presenter Susanne Latimore, has completed a
very exciting bike ride!
Susanne is an inspiring woman who has undertaken a massive bike ride to raise money
for Redkite, a children’s cancer charity that helped her family and her son Manning when
he was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 10.
Mum of two Susanne was living a fairly normal suburban life for most of 2013 but the
week before Christmas her son was diagnosed with an enormous, very rare and highly
malignant tumour. It was the start of a long journey and
many hours spent at Westmead Children’s Hospital.
The 300km ride over three days from 16-18 March, from
Berowra to Forster, with 17 other enthusiastic cyclists,
including her sister Belinda aims to raise $20,000 for Redkite.
“I wasn’t aware of the work of Redkite until I was embraced
by a social worker in the hospital and given the Big Red
%DJ¿OOHGZLWKHVVHQWLDOVWKDWPDGHRXU¿UVWXSVLGHGRZQ
days more bearable,” Susanne said.
Every year 1600 young Australians are diagnosed with cancer and Redkite helps about 1000 families a year with essential
services. “It was nearly a week before the biopsy report was back and Jonty our surgeon came to tell us the glorious
news. He’d gotten clear margins on the tumour. 0DQQLQJKDGD¿JKWLQJFKDQFHRedkite exists to ensure every kid

What the LOCALS
are saying ...
Dear Bush Tele,
Brooklyn Master Plan
The Mayor of Hornsby was
recently quoted as saying “there
were some barriers to development
in Brooklyn”.
No doubt these barriers are
the Council’s own regulations
and some State government
regulations such as the ones that
deal with environment protection.
So now we know what the master
plan will do: it will be the Mayor’s
way of getting around these pesky
regulations.
:KRZLOOEHWKHEHQH¿FLDULHVRIWKH
master plan?
The developers of course, who
seem to be doing quite well in
Hornsby Shire.
Who will be the losers?
People like me of course who
bought a house in Brooklyn many
years ago and have lived in it and
enjoyed the beauty of the area
ever since.
We the residents of Brooklyn have
not been consulted about this
master plan, nor have we been told
what is likely to be in it.
When will we be told what is really
going to happen?
John Stavert, Brooklyn
Dear Bush Tele,
I am writing to add my name to
the ever-growing list of people
objecting to Mayor Russell’s desire
to remove the cafe from the plans
for Storey Park.
YOUR COMMUNITY
DIARY DATES
Proudly sponsored by
BEROWRA RSL
I’m appalled that he can make such
a decision - indeed even consider
it without asking for the views of
the people who would be most
impacted by its removal.
I belong to two separate groups
who have been displaced by the
council’s decision to sell off the
Asquith Leisure and Learning
Centre and were very much left to
our own devices in looking for a
place to relocate to - very little help
was offered by council.
We were also told that funds were
going to be made available from
that sale to rebuild Storey Park
but now it seems a large portion
of those funds will be used for the
‘Black Hole’ that is the quarry.
Our groups are mainly seniors that
I believe Hornsby Council is hoping
will slip quietly into the background,
and keep knitting! With the
horrendous number of units being

“Happy St Patrick’s Day 2016”
Hornsby Mayor Steve Russell and Councillor Mick Gallagher show
how to ham it up for St Patrick’s Day held on 17 March.
Both Councillors are of Irish descent with Mick’s being the Gallagher
clan and the O’Connor clan from his mother’s side..
The Mayor’s Errol Flynn connection
Mayor Steve is a descendant of the Cassidy and Flynn clans. His father’s
cousin was Errol Flynn, the famous Australian actor of the 1930-50s.
St Patrick’s Day was a double occasion for Steve to celebrate … his
66th birthday!

The CIRCUS is
Coming to Town!
Webers Circus, with a touch of the
WILD WEST, is a fantastic show

you on the edge of your seat.
See our beautiful Gypsy Cob
horses, Whip Cracking boot
scooting dancing, cute Miniature
Horses and the Comedy Dogs will
keep you laughing for hours along
with Australia’s funniest clowns.
The Wheel Of Death performed by
Tim and Paul, is one of the most
Death defying and spectacular acts.
Plus the Russian Swing involves 10
performers with the three Webers
sisters Somersaulting through the
air and there’s so much more at
Webers Circus when it comes to
Hornsby!
The performance lasts 1hr & 50
mins and tickets are on sale 1hr

Adults.
Out came the razors
and the fluoro hair
colour at Berowra RSL
On the evening of Friday 11 March at
Club Berowra, the bravest staff and
patrons made a (not always pretty)
spectacle of themselves in the name of
a great cause - the “World’s Greatest
Shave” supporting Australians with
blood cancer.
“Kids” ranging in age from 3 to 80+
lined up to colour their hair or shave it
off. In fact the absence of hair was no
obstacle. Even those with minimal or
no hair at all joined in the fun to colour
skin or whatever hair they had!
A generous donation from Bolan’s
Tree Services helped the night to
raise over $1300 for the cause.
One of the most colourful (and possibly most appalling) outcomes
belonged to the (self-proclaimed) “Mayor of
Berowra Waters” aka Tony Bray who despite
appearances was not tortured or forced into
joining in.
Club Berowra’s ongoing commitment to charity
will next be on show as the Anzac Day breakfast
and “Two Up” when funds will be donated to
Veterans charities. Hope to see you there!
Photo (right): Self-proclaimed “Mayor of
Berowra Waters” Tony Bray joins in the fun but
seems to be having 2nd thoughts.

wonderful and engaging learning environment.
“The recently refurbished classrooms have
enabled further opportunities to develop agility
and ingenuity in our learners; a must if we are
going to prepare our children in readiness for a
rapidly changing world.
“Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are
actively participating in learning that supports point of need teaching, whereby skills such as
collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problem solving are of prime focus. Our
new learning environments promote such skill development through the utilisation of a variety
RIÀH[LEOHOHDUQLQJVSDFHVWUDWHJLHVDVZHOODVWKHLPSOHPHQWDWLRQDQGXWLOLVDWLRQRIWKHPRVW
up to date digital devices and spaces.
“The PoD (Place of Discovery ) is also a huge success with a range of students during
recess and lunch. The PoD is a place where everyone is invited to discover things about
themselves, others and the wider school community through play. It is a place where you can
come to relax and chill.
“As a KidsMatter school, we aim to promote the social and emotional wellbeing of each
unique individual within our community. The PoD seeks to achieve this by allowing children
to learn through play. They learn a number of skills including sharing, negotiating and working
with others in a play based, non-structured atmosphere. The PoD also allows children a
respite from the busyness of the playground. Somewhere quiet where they can go if they need
some “head space”.
“Children are given free choice from a number of different activities each week. Activities, to
GDWHKDYHLQFOXGHGWKLQJVVXFKDVER[FRQVWUXFWLRQIRRWSDWKµJUDI¿WL¶EXEEOHPDNLQJGUHVV
ups, blocks, craft and Loom Bands.
In 2016 the following key initiatives for Saint Bernard’s Catholic School will be implemented:
Parent Engagement Forums on best practice in Writing, with a particular focus on Spelling;
Participation in Tournament of the Minds; Chess Club; New Healthy Canteen; Scope IT
- investigating Coding; New School Facebook Page and Website; If you are interested in
enrolling your child or organising a school tour please contact the school on 9456 2104.

Red Balloon Day, celebrated on Sunday 28th February,
is a national event which honours and thanks our brave

The school was very happy to acknowledge Red

communities throughout the year.

The school sold Red Balloon Day merchandise for
two weeks leading up to the event and had a mufti day
where students were allowed to wear red in return for a
gold coin donation.

LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL
AGE AT ST PATRICK’S
ASQUITH
The children at St
Patrick’s are taught to be
thinkers, and discerning
users of technology.
Whilst the school
commenced its BYODD
iPad initiative last year in
Years 4-6, children in all
classes have access to
iPads as well as many
other devices.
Principal Bernard Cumming said, “We want the children to be
thinkers within the 21st Century environment.”
“The children will be completing a task, and we want the children
to have knowledge of different devices and tools, and to think to
themselves ‘What is the best tool to use to complete this task?’”
Similarly, the school is very much aware that the digital world is
constantly changing, and the safety of the children in a digital world is
of utmost importance.

SOMETHING FISHY AT
NORTHHOLM
Building on a successful Agricultural program, students and teachers
at Northholm Grammar School are looking forward to establishing a
commercial scale Aquaponics facility at the school.
Year Nine student Mathew Edwards explained, “Aquaponics is
WKHFRPELQDWLRQRIDTXDFXOWXUHRU¿VKIDUPLQJZLWKK\GURSRQLFV
growing leafy vegetables without soil.”
Classmate Annalise Snow said, “It’s completely organic because the
¿VKSURGXFHQDWXUDOIHUWLOL]HUZKLFKLVWKHQXVHGE\WKHSODQWVVRQR
man-made chemicals are used.”
Northholm Agricultural Technology teacher Melissa Duff said the
program called Aquaponics in Action will encourage students to
study STEM subjects as a taster for some of the great careers they
can pursue from their studies of science, technology, engineering
and maths. “Students aren’t just reading, writing and discussing
their subject,” Melissa said. “With Aquaponics in Action they will be
experiencing their subjects, which is a far better way to solidify their
learning”.
Design and Technology teacher Andrew McMillan said, “it really
covers a lot of subjects and will include students from both the

Club UPDATE

The form team of the BCC in season 2015/16, led by
skipper James Booth, saw D Grade become the only
WHDPWRSURJUHVVWRWKHJUDQG¿QDOLQWKH6HPL¿QDO
round completed.
An outstanding bowling effort by Ben Parker (3/36)
and Matt Kelly (2/19) that backed up an excellent batting display by
Martin O’Brien (70) had Berowra win an exciting game by just 7 runs!

will be a great game.
“Watching Guppy take the winning catch was one of the greatest moments
of my cricketing career” said 18 year old skipper Booth.
In other results B Grade couldn’t muster up enough runs (129) to defend

Whilst C4s did it tough chasing 3 declared for 312 were all out for 122.

IS IT TIME FOR A BEROWRA POOL?
The Berowra and District Community Association (B&DCA) is running a survey on the need for a Berowra pool.
Residents of Berowra and north of Hornsby, especially children, the elderly and the battlers, have limited access
to a public pool.
Berowra residents have contributed more than their fair share to funding of major facilities in the shire.
Lack of funds has been the reason given by Hornsby Shire Council for the lack of progress of the Berowra Pool despite
the $312,000 and its 30 years of interest, sale of local assets, S94 funds, levies and rates.
The Mayor of Hornsby has publicly stated that the new rate levy funded Hornsby Aquatic Centre is full to capacity and
will need to be redeveloped and up graded.
Added to this, Hornsby Council is literally swimming in money due to cost cutting, development and Section 94 funds,
rate levies and sale of public assets and property – much of it north of Hornsby, and the infrastructure back log is only 1%.
YOU CAN COMPLETE THE SURVEY BELOW and leave in the BEROWRA POOL SURVEY Box at The Bush Tele Shop at Marketplace
Shopping Centre, 19-25 Turner Road Berowra Heights or complete it online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FVBK8WB
