Campaign in Centro Lennox Shopping Centres for White Ribbon Day. Selling white ribbons and wristbands helps the Foundation raise awareness about violence against women in Australia. The Foundation develops programs to engage men and boys to actively oppose the attitudes and behaviour that allow violence to continue unchallenged in our society. The campaign is focused on promoting change in our communities and the WRF are working to develop education and male leadership programmes which highlight the positive ways men can become agents of change. The Zonta club meets for dinner on the first Tuesday of each month at Nepean Shores function centre. Phone 4739 5696 for more details.

The new air conditioning in the library, which was funded by the successful Walkathon, has been in use for a couple of months. As the heat of summer increases students will be drawn to use the library more because of the air conditioning, which is a positive thing. The Year 9 Extension Group members went on an overnight excursion
to Taronga Zoo in early November. The students’ sleeping arrangements were a bit unusual as their rooms had three pythons, three lizards, a baby croc, a frog in a terrarium, and sugar gliders in an enclosure. The students enjoyed interacting with animals and a night tour which included a visit to the observation deck under the lion’s den. “When the lions would roar it shook the window. This was an experience of a lifetime,” said Jake Smithard. During roll call the Year 8 Extension group has been researching and writing letters to the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald about Palm oil and the problems it creates for animals around the world. Thanks to students Kimberly Longhurst, Matthew De Silva, Saskia Hopman, Kate Bobis, Jake Smithard, Charlotte Dabb, Karmen Chan, Ben Dunn for their news stories.
Leonay Public School The school has received $2 million to build 3 new classrooms with a small multi purpose room and a covered outdoor learning area. The demountable classrooms are being replaced and the work should be finished at the end of term 1 next year. Enrolments for next year are now taking place.

“The people were great and the cities are magnificent,” said President Andy Heaton. “At one stage, we travelled on the Maglev Train in Shanghai at 431 kph. What a buzz!”
State Member for Penrith Karyn Paluzzano has announced the RTA will not be going ahead with a proposal to build an advertising sign at the bottom of Lapstone Hill. The RTA had been investigating options to install an advertising sign which could carry messages welcoming westbound traffic to the Blue Mountains and East-
bound travellers to Sydney. “This is a win for the local community who clearly were against the proposed advertising billboard, “said Ms Paluzzano. “Following feedback from the local community I approached the Transport Minister to make sure he knew how upset the community was.” Ms Paluzzano said that this was a win for common sense. “I’d like to thank all those residents who phoned and emailed my office and those that I spoke with around the community, who made sure this project did not get the go ahead.” “I am pleased the RTA has decided that this location is not appropriate and will look for other locations.”
