Gold for Jessica Jessica Fox from Leonay is only 16 years old and a student in year 11 at Blaxland High School but she has won the Women’s C1 Canoe Slalom event at the 2010 Oceania Open on Sunday 21st February. On the www.canoe.org.au website Jessica said “I’m delighted with the result. I nearly lost it right at the last gate but as I went over I managed to save myself and correct it before any time was lost.” Congratulations Jessica and we hope to have more details next month.

Storing rainwater in local aquifers Penrith Council has been investigating options for a non potable water supply, in which Managed Aquifer

Recharge plays a significant potential opportunity. This is an exciting project using the existing aquifer at the council reserve in Wedmore Road and the detention pond near the oval in Leonay to store captured stormwater to be used when needed instead of drinking water. There are significant concerns in relation to the gap between future demand and supply for water as the population of Western Sydney increases. The project would supply more than enough water to save more than 100 million litres of drinking water each year. It would also improve the natural habitat, reduce our carbon footprint and improve the environmental water flows of the Nepean River. If the project eventually goes ahead, Penrith Council would have to put part of the $1.9 million in and the other funds would come from other levels of government.

Kids are “Cool” at Emu Plains Public School It was “cool” to come to school for the five year olds of Emu Plains when they started their educational careers on the 2nd February at their local Primary school, Emu Plains Public. Many parents and grandparents would remember those stiflingly hot, cicada singing February days when they started school, with nothing but a creaky ceiling fan and an open window for relief from the heat. Not so for the sixty-three local kinder children who entered their classrooms to find brand new, silent, “split system” air conditioners keeping them comfortable while they enjoy their lessons and learn their numbers, sounds, colours and words. All the classrooms at the school are efficiently air conditioned to ensure the best possible learning environment for all the children of Emu Plains for many years to come.

Helping Haiti Children at Emu Heights Public School are determined to let the people of Haiti know they care for them in this incredibly tragic time.
The school Student Representative Council has constructed a large jigsaw puzzle of a map of Haiti with each class holding one piece with an envelope attached. Children have been challenged to do jobs to earn money to put in their class envelope to raise funds for relief programs for the Haitian people.Later this month the money will be collected and the giant puzzle put together. Emu Heights children want to live up to their school motto “Happiness By Helping”

Nepean High School Extension Group The Extension group is evolving and changing as the school grows and changes. This year we have many exciting excursions, opportunities, literature projects and writing competitions available to extension group members. The Digital animation workshop was held at school to show students how to use high tech equipment and imagination to create their very own, individual animation. Other excursions planned for this year include a trip to Sydney Wildlife World, live theatre, visiting the Powerhouse Museum’s Vector Lab and an overnight camp to Taronga Zoo . This year the extension group will benefit from several community partnerships which result in two separate publications which will showcase and celebrate student’s creative writing. The first community partnership we will be involved in is a project named ‘Migrant Story’ which sees students listening to (and scribing) the stories of those who immigrated to Australia. Students will record the stories and submit them for publication. It is anticipated the book will be published and ready to launch by late June. The book
launch is planned to take place during refugee week and will celebrate community partnerships, especially those which made the project possible. Students will be publicly celebrated and acknowledged for their effort. Extension group has collaborated with the Lower Blue Mountains Rotary Club to produce yet another book, comprised solely of student work. The book will be titled ‘Tell me a story’ and will cover a broad range of student work from poems, short stories and creative writing pieces. The book will have a glossy, full cover colour and it too will demonstrate the high quality work produced here at Nepean High School. We will hold a book launch at school for students and parents to attend to recognise our students as published authors within our community. Currently extension group members are drafting creative pieces for a ‘What Matters’ writing competition which asks students to write about the people, experiences and institutions that matter to them. Entry is free and a series of cash prizes are available to finalists. Paige Murray – Extension Group co-ordinator & English Teacher, Nepean High School.

Gorilla’s loss of habitat Gorillas are losing their habitat at an alarming rate in the forest of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The forests are being destroyed and the Gorillas are being killed for bush meat to feed the miners. These miners are mining the ore called Coltan, a rare mineral ore containing tantalum, a product used in the making of hi-tech electronics including mobile phones. There are campaigns run by Taron-
ga Zoo which hands out postage paid envelopes which are distributed to Zoo visitors to encourage the recycling of mobile phones. The Deputy Premier and Minister for the Environment and Climate Change, Carmel Tebutt, attended the birthday of Taronga Zoo’s Silverback gorilla, Kibabu, to promote a mobile phone recycling plan run by the Zoo. “Australian’s upgrade their mobile on average every 18-24 months, resulting in millions of mobiles being
dumped in landfill every year. By simply donating an old mobile, the pressure placed on gorilla habitat is reduced.” – Ms Tebutt. If you’re interested and would like to sign the petition, or be sent a phone recycling envelope visit www.taronga. org.au and follow the conservation link to the mobile phone recycling program.
