Bright New Smiles At McCarthy

Excited and nervous new Year 7 students arrived at McCarthy Catholic College for their first day at high school. With crisp new uniforms and bags, polished shoes and hesitant smiles, most arrived with parents who were even more nervous and excited than their children. Some young faces showed trepidation but all students spoke of their high anticipation of fresh challenges. Friends Bronte Gibson, Jasmine Sultana, Jessica Ferrier and Tahlia Sexton, coming to McCarthy from Surveyor’s Creek Public School, explained they were really looking forward to experiencing separate subjects and teachers in high school. However, the students thought that going from classroom to classroom, rather than staying in the one place,  (L-R) Bronte Gibson, Jasmine Sultana, Jessica Ferrier,Tahlia Sexton would take some getting used to! For Ky Paul, Jazz Campbell and Lee Pledger from St Josephs Primary School, the most important consideration, was the opportunity to make new friends. While the Year 7 students went happily off to class, many parents were slow to leave, conscious of the important milestone of their children entering high school. It is suspected that the highly polished shoes will never again display the same level of gloss as they did on Day One.

Feeling Conflicted? Everyone has experienced a conflict with another person. Even if it was one of those that’s never been spoken about in the open, it’s still a conflict. And not all conflict is bad, there are just bad ways of dealing with conflict. So how do we deal well with conflict? The first step is to deal with the right person. Talk to the person you have a problem with. Gossiping to someone else about it or asking them to speak on your behalf will never improve the situation, only make it worse. The next step is to listen and ask questions, rather than jumping to conclusions. In my experience many disagreements could have been defused if the person hearing what sounded like an attack could have just stopped, asked for clarification of what was being said, and realised it wasn’t what they first thought. Not all conflicts are that straightforward of course. Some will produce a great deal of hurt and pain, even loss. But whatever the scale, we then have a choice to make. A common response is to ‘pay back’ the pain we feel. An alternative response is to offer forgiveness. That’s not to say the hurt isn’t very real, and forgiveness very costly for the person who offers it. We can’t control other people, but we can choose how we act ourselves. Which path will you choose? When Jesus broke into the world he brought forgiveness at great cost. The cost was so great, his death on the cross, that it highlighted how great was the conflict. And yet it is forgiveness that he offers us. For those of us who have experienced that forgiveness, we are freed to deal with conflict in a way that serves and forgives others. Rev. Roger Cunningham

Long Tan Leadership and Team Awards

Our Lady of the Way School and Emu Plains Public School have more in common than just happy, enthusiastic students and fabulous teachers. Both schools have new Principal’s commencing this year. Mrs Michele Vaughan (R) is at Emu Plains Public and Mrs Sue Veling (L) has commenced at Our Lady of the Way. Both Principal’s are looking forward to working with the community and developing programs that give the students in Emu Plains great educational experiences. Welcome Michele and Sue.

The Long Tan and Leadership Awards are presented annually by the Australian Defence Force to outstanding students in Australian schools. The awards recognize a Year 12 student and a Year 10 student who have excelled during the year in areas of leadership, teamwork, problem solving, resourcefulness, co-operation, values, communication and community involvement. The McCarthy award recipients for 2013 were Antonio Auddino Year 12 and Harmony Jones Year 10. Antonio was College Captain and ‘ led from the front’ by his engagement in multiple endeavours and personal example. Harmony was a member of the Student Representative Council and inspired many with her charitable leadership and involvement. Both were most worthy and meritorious winners. Each felt humbled by the award but commented that they learnt and received far more back than they had ever contributed. Antonio received a Certificate and $500 cheque and Harmony a Certificate and $250 cheque. The awards were presented on behalf of the ADF by Major Mandom Pije,

Australian Army. Major Pije noted that he had visited McCarthy Catholic College twice before; on each occasion his JP2 (school) debating team had been defeated!

 Harmony Jones (Yr 10) and Antonio Auddino (Yr 12)

PARENTS CORNER Article by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) NepeanStudent-Wellbeing Worker – Mulgoa Public School Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services Ph: 0409 986 121 Centre: 4721 8520 Blog: http://handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

How are you settling into the new-ish year? With the kids back at pre/primary/high school, it’s onto sizzling routines, packing lunch boxes (sigh), washing school clothes, class information nights, notes from school, and lots of organising. It’s full-on isn’t it? Sometimes with all of this ‘doing’ we forget about ‘being’ with our kids. When do you make the time to just ‘be’ with your kids? Time that’s free of distractions, where you ‘hang-out’ and enjoy each other’s company, where there is space for them to talk about what matters to them (the big stuff and little stuff ) , and where you LISTEN. Some parents say their kids won’t talk to them, or they can’t get past the one word answers like ‘good’, ‘nothing’, ‘nowhere’, and ‘nobody’. I ask those parents if they make the time, and if they do, then do they shut-up? Kids clam up when parents pressure kids for answers, jump in and offer advice, rouse on them for getting things wrong when they’ve had a go. Kids are actually very smart and they can be supported to generate their own solutions to their problems – yes, even really little kids. I have spaces in the day where I am “with” my kids and fill it with my silence and my presence – the walk home from school, afternoon tea, a snuggle on the lounge, one-on-one time with each of the kids even if it is just grocery shopping. Silence is one of my favourite parenting tools, but with the silence comes my openness and willingness to listen and use reflection when my kids talk (for more information about this, go to the “Reflective Listening” post at handsheartsminds.wordpress.com). I recently asked a group of parents the qualities they value in a friend. They said someone who: • is non-judgemental • listens, listens, listens • doesn’t bombard you with advice • doesn’t blab on about their own stuff, or lecture • you can trust • cares You are not your child’s friend, but your role as a parent should offer the same kindness. When do you offer these qualities and ‘the time’ to your child? St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 in the year 461 AD. It is also a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history. St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The actual colour of St. Patrick is blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow. Shamrocks are worn on the lapel on this day. In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair. Many young people dye their hair green for the special day. Many people wear green on this holiday to avoid being pinched. Source: http://www.wsaw.com/seasonal/misc/40129602.html

What’s Happening to our Children? In modern society, many illnesses such as asthma, allergies, AD/HD, autism, irritable bowel syndrome, digestive disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression are on the rise, and our children are the most vulnerable. There are many obstacles to effective healthcare for our children. Government health policies ignore and many GPs remain uninformed about digestive and metabolic conditions and environmental onslaughts impacting on our children’s brains. Multinational companies make huge profits from processed food, medicine and consumer products that are literally making our children sick. The result is a global epidemic of childhood disease as reflected in Australian health trends over the past 20 years: • Autism: nearly 1 in 100 Australian children • ADHD: 1 in 4 Australian children • Allergies: 1 in 3 Australian children • Cancer, diabetes, obesity and depression have more than doubled • Wide-spread nutritional deficiencies are adversely impacting on IQ and immunity. We shouldn’t despair. This is an exciting time in the science of nutritional, naturopathic and integrative healthcare. Hundreds of studies are coming out in support of diet, targeted supplementation and lifestyle modification as effective treatment options for ADHD, allergies, asthma, autism and more. Nutritional scientists worldwide are finding malnutrition and toxicity, inflammation and oxidative stress common to many conditions. Our environment more than our genes is driving this epidemic in epidemics. The good news is that we can all do something about our environment, especially diet and lifestyle! What is the Mindd Foundation? www.mindd.org Mindd is an acronym for Metabolic Immunologic Neurologic Digestive Disorders that often affect the mind. • Michelle is a Mindd Foundation accredited practitioner. Her treatment protocols cover digestive tract health, dietary intervention, nutritional supplementation and detoxification. • Michelle can also recommend appropriate testing and integrative therapies to treat the whole individual and assess the underlying causes.

COFFEE CHAT with Glenmore Coffee Costa Rican Tarrazu In many people’s opinion , Costa Rican Tarrazu is one of the world’s greatest coffees. It has a light clean flavour and a wonderful fragrance. Description Costa Rica, with its rich, well-drained volcanic soil, was the first Central American country to grow coffee and bananas on a commercial basis and both commodities are among its major exports. Coffee was introduced into Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729 and today the industry is one of the best organised in the world. The best Costa Rican coffee is labelled “SHB” (Strictly Hard Bean ) which means that it has been grown at an altitude above 5,000 feet (1,500 metres). Higher altitudes produce better beans because it produces a higher acidity in the bean and also because the colder nights and regular rainfall at these high altitudes cause the beans to mature much slower. Both these two aspects create a fuller flavour.

Profile Flavour: Silky and full acidity Suggested Roast: Medium to dark

Ingredients • 3 cups good quality vanilla ice cream • 1 3/4 cups 1% milk • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract • Green food colouring, if desired Method 1.

Panic Attacks If you have ever experienced a panic attack or witnessed someone having one, you will know it can be a very frightening experience. Panic attacks are periods of intense fear or apprehension that come on suddenly. They are surprisingly common, varying in intensity and duration from minutes to hours. Signs and symptoms of a panic attack include: • A sense of overwhelming & seemingly uncontrollable panic, fear or anxiety • The thought that you are dying or ‘losing control’ or ‘going mad’ • Increased heart rate, often feeling like a heart attack • Difficulty breathing (feeling that there is not enough air) • Excessive perspiration • Dizziness, light-headedness or feeling faint. Triggers for panic attacks - basically any fear can trigger a panic attack – the memory of a traumatic experience and the thought that it could re-occur; fear of heights & falling, spiders, needles, flying, getting lost, etc. As an onlooker what can you do? Stay calm and assure the person that they are safe. Speak gently but assertively and positively & get some help if necessary. If the person is in any danger, encourage them to move to a safe area. What can be done to prevent them? By working with a therapist to address the underlying fear, the severity and frequency of panic attacks can be greatly reduced, if not avoided. EFT is effective, safe & noninvasive and is gaining world-wide recognition for helping people eliminate their fears.

MONEY MATTER$ With Alex McKenzie - Future Financial Services Ph: 0414 330 651 E: info@futurefinancialservices.com.au

Starting a Family? Starting a family is obviously a huge moment in a person’s life, but it is also a time where seeking financial advice is highly recommended. When starting a family, the income and expenditure requirements change immensely. Although initial expenses don’t grow substantially as children grow older, they account for more and more of the family budget. This is especially if full time child care or private school fees are involved. The biggest change for most couples is going to a single income for a period of time. At the risk of generalising, most modern couples are duel income, at least before they start having children, and their lifestyle becomes reliant on both these incomes. Preparing for living on one income presents some challenges. The most effective way to prepare for this is to reduce financial commitments leading into having a family. This may involve reducing debts, cutting some lifestyle costs or building wealth in advance to prepare for reduced income. This reduced income due to time off work, whether it is a matter of months or more long term, may open opportunities not normally available. There are strategies that are income tested. Whilst working full time, you or your partner may be unlikely to qualify for this, however earning a reduced income becomes a viable option. The Government Co-Contribution is an incentive for low income earners to contribute to Superannuation. The Co-

Contribution sees the government match contributions up to $500 for those who earn less than $31,920. The maximum CoContribution reduces for amounts over this, phasing out at $48,516. Those that have the funds to make this contribution effectively double their investment instantly. For many, this period where income is reduced is the only opportunity they have to qualify for a Co-Contribution. The Spouse Rebate is another incentive by the government for low income earners to contribute to Superannuation. Those who make after tax contributions to their spouse’s Superannuation fund can be entitled to an 18% tax rebate. The maximum contribution for this rebate is $3,000, for those earning less than $10,800. This maximum reduces for those earning more with the rebate phasing out at $13,800. Again, the time off work whilst starting a family may be the only time many qualify for this rebate. The most pressing financial planning matter surrounds insurance. Although many see insurance as a “dirty word”, there is no point in a couple’s life that they are so financial reliant on each other, and the death or disablement of one member of the couple has the potential to financial ruin a family. With a young family, if the working spouse was unable to work for as little as a few months, with no income coming in at all, most families would be in financial hardship. There are a number of insurance options and strategies that can avoid this financial risk. For more information on these strategies and other life events please view our website: www.futurefinancialservices.com.au

PAWS A WHILE

With Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital 377 Wentworth Rd, Orchard Hills Ph: 4736 2027

Camille’s Pets!! I am so lucky that I can take my dogs to work with me every day. They sleep behind the front reception desk and pop up occasionally to say hello to the customers. Bella is my 13 year old kelpie. She had a slight cough for 3 weeks and had chest radiographs and a heart ultrasound performed.

Bella was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a heart disease which causes the heart muscle to lose its ability to contract. As the heart is not pumping blood forward effectively, the blood backs up and causes fluid to build up in the chest, which Bella was then coughing up. Bella was started on heart medications and the cough has reduced and she is as happy as ever. The usual outcome for DCM is only a few months, and Bella is now in her 7th month.

Each day I have with my best friend Bella is a gift. Pony is my Great Dane x Bull Mastiff. He is coming up to 3 years of age and he is still stubborn as a mule. I was kind of looking for a new dog to keep Pony company when Bella passes away, when I found a new dog at Hawkesbury Pound in October 2013. My new dogs name is Callie, she is 1.5 years of age and is a Great Dane x Italian Greyhound according to the DNA test I had performed. Callie is 45kg and looks a lot like Pony, except she is a brown harlequin colour. I only had Callie for about 1 week before she became unwell. She had a fever and she was very quiet. Blood tests and ultrasound did not reveal the cause of her illness. I sent Callie to see the specialists at SASH at North Ryde, where they performed a spinal tap to obtain a sample of her spinal fluid. The spinal fluid was tested and was negative for bacteria, protozoa and fungi. Callie was diagnosed with Steroid Responsive MeningitisArteritis (SRMA), which is an autoimmune disease which attacks the central nervous

Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital

system. Thankfully SRMA is treatable. Callie was started on a 6 month course of corticosteroids, and she was back to normal within 1 week. Callie ate and drank like a horse whilst on the corticosteroids, which is a normal side effect of this drug. Callie was weaned off the corticosteroids and thankfully has had no relapse of the meningitis.

Bella still runs my household and Pony and Callie are like 2 peas in a pod. Every day I have Bella is a blessing and even though I have had time to prepare, I will never be ready for the day when Bella passes away. I also have 3 cats and 2 pet sheep, but they don’t come to work with me! Check out our website for more information. www.orchardhillsvet.com.au or join us on Facebook. We look forward to meeting you and your pets at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, and please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team. .
