Local Mums Helping to Save Fijian Boy

 Ashmit needs our help. Image source: www.facebook.com/ Savingashmit

A little boy’s life hangs in the balance and two local Jordan Springs mums have joined forces, in a desperate bid to raise funds towards the $100,000 needed for life-saving surgery. Ashmit, a ten year old Fijian boy was recently diagnosed with aggressive cancer that cannot be treated in Fiji. A huge tumour above his left ear has infiltrated his skull and sinuses and doubled in size in the past six weeks. He will not survive without the emergency surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, all of which is available in Australia. Australian based charity Fijikids is coordinating fundraising efforts and the action needed to get Ashmit to Australia. Jordan Springs residents Michelle McCann and Kylie Marshall are behind a Family Fun day in Jordan Springs on March 13 (see Page 14 for details) to help an Australian based charity “As parents ourselves we can only imagine how desperate Ashmit’s father is for help so we are doing what we can to help Fijikids raise the money needed” Ashmit is from a rural area close to popular tourist resorts on Fiji’s Coral Coast. His father picks vegetables for a few dollars a day and is solo parent to three young boys. They live in an abandoned farm house with no electricity and share the only bed. continued pg.14

FAITH – ST DAVIDS CHURCH LLANDILO

Article Written + Submitted by: Rev John Hebblewhite A: Lot 257A Seventh Ave, Llandilo P: 4736 3592 Service Times: 10am each Sunday, with additional services held: 2pm on the third Sunday and 8am on the fourth Sunday Easter is ‘early this year’, as unlike Christmas it does not have a set date being subject to the occurrence of a full moon in the season. For the Christian, Easter is the culmination of the Incarnation [Emmanuel: ‘God with us’] that is celebrated at Christmas. Easter recalls the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus, the Palestinian Jew, which still presents to the world at large the challenge to comprehend the reality in which one exists. In the long history as we understand it of the universe and humans in particular, the gospel [good news] given by Jesus has caused on reflection for him to be accepted as the Christ who faced the reality of sin and overcame it. It is important to reflect that Jesus calls us to faith. Faith, in that the whole of creation, although through history and even now burden by so much that depreciates, is moving to that wonderful summation when we shall see God. From faith emanates worship and worship allows us to consolidate our prayers within the freedom we have simply ‘to be’. Discipline in life is essential but can never over-ride the wonderful freedom we have to ‘be our selves’ and to shun all that depreciates life. From worship comes the reality of love- not “Hollywood scenarios” but the generous giving of oneself and being aware that in many situations love can be given at a cost. An important aspect of love is compassion. No authority can compel or direct compassion, it is engendered by true love. When Saint Peter was asked by Jesus “do you love me?” He was

stunned by the reply “feed my sheep” and it was Peter, who when challenged at the trial of Jesus ‘do you know this man?’ and giving his denial went out and is recorded ‘wept bitterly’. However it was given to Peter to come down in history as teacher of the Faith. Peter’s work resulted in him in turn being crucified.. Rev John Hebblewhite

JORDAN SPRINGS WATER SAFETY – NEPEAN AQUATIC CENTRE AND EVA BORYS SWIM SCHOOL

Article Written + Submitted by: Julie Fletcher from Nepean Aquatic Centre and Eva Borys Swim School A: 16 – 19 Lambridge Place, Penrith P: 4730 8900 E: julie@nepeanswim.com.au W: nepeanaquaticcentre.com.au

How Long Will it Take for my Child to Learn to Swim?

I am often asked by parents ‘How long will it take for my child to Learn To Swim?” Unfortunately, it is not a question I can answer simply, as every child is different, and learning to swim is a long term, ongoing process. Consistency is the key to the development and maintenance of swimming skills, so attending lessons should become an established part of your child’s weekly routine throughout their infant, preschool and early school years. Regular lessons all year round allow your child to practise the swimming skills appropriate to their developmental stage and learn at their own pace.

Not seeing much progress this month? As with any skill, it is normal for the child to go through periods of plateau, regression and developmental leaps throughout the process of learning to swim, but over time constant progress is being made. We usually say (as general guide) that your child has become a capable swimmer when they are able to swim 400 metres with good technique, without stopping, and without becoming exhausted. This level of skill may take children individual amounts of time to reach, but it establishes a strong swimming foundation. These swimming skills should then be retained in children over 7 years of age, whereas younger children need consistent reinforcement to maintain their competency. As to when to start, Australian experts recommend starting swimming lessons from 6 months, but you can and should practice early water familiarisation before this. Babies are not born with a fear of the water, instead this fear is acquired, so make sure baby has regular baths and showers, and becomes comfortable with the sensation of water being trickled and then poured over their head. Your 6 month old will then accept the water more readily, and with less fear than an older child. It is important to remember that swimming is not just another option on the list of sports and activities available to children – it is an invaluable lifelong skill that may just save their lives. Image supplied.

PARENTS CORNER

Article Written + Submitted by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community + Neighbourhood Services P: 0409 986121 or 47218520 E: narelle@nepeancommunity.org.au FaceBook: Parenting in Penrith Blog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com When parents give their children negative emotional messages that focus on who the child is rather than his or her behaviour, they unwittingly dig a pit of shame so deep and so wide, it may take the child a lifetime to climb out of it. “You do it deliberately to annoy me” “I’m going to ring grandma to tell her how awful you are” “You are as stupid as your father” “Go ahead and try it, you’ll just fail like you always do” “Why are you so clumsy?” “I’m so angry with you I can’t stand the sight of you” Negative and emotional messages that attack a child’s sense of self and what she can do, leave their mark and can lead to mental health problems into adolescence and adulthood. When parents approach a child’s mistaken behaviour at the level of the behaviour, they say things like… “I’m really disappointed that you kicked the ball at the laundry window, especially as I warned you about it five minutes ago.” “What might have been a better choice?” “When you and your brother argue, I feel so frustrated.” A little bit of guilt is healthy and adaptive. Children learn what is acceptable behaviour when parents focus on communicating what they didn’t like about the behaviour and how the child might do better next time. Prolonged ranting, raving, lecturing, and anger cause excessive guilt which induces shame. One of my colleagues saw an interaction between a parent and a child the other day. The mother screamed at him “how many times do I have to tell you not to do that” and she walked away from him. The little boy, no older than 3, put his head down and banged his head with both fists. He then went and sat behind a park bench and cried. Was he feeling shame or guilt do you think? Is he learning that he can’t rely on the adults in his life to help organise his thoughts and feelings, and more importantly his behaviours?

 Penrith Christian School – celebrating 35 years. Image supplied.

Penrith Christian School is this year celebrating 35 years of operation as a Christian school serving the Penrith region. The School commenced as a ministry of what was then the Penrith Christian Fellowship Centre and was located in Dean Place before moving to a rural site in the Londonderry area in 1983-1984. In 1985 the School was relocated to its current site on the junction of the Northern Road and the M4 Motorway; the church building having been completed in 1984. Since then, Penrith Christian School has grown steadily as parents, seeking a Christian education for their children, have continued to support the school. In the early days the buildings were built with the aid of volunteers, and much growth in the School’s facilities is attributed to the commitment and the service of those early pioneers. By the mid-90s the existing Library (now called the iCentre), and associated technology blocks, were completed as the School moved into secondary education and expansion to two streams. The School continues to be a vital part of the ministry of ImagineNations Church; and, over the years has introduced additional classes in the secondary years, as well as Early Childhood Services, offering Preschool and Preparatory School programs for 3 and 4 year-olds. Throughout the years PCS has never lost sight of the vision and goal of the founders who wanted to provide an education for our children that acknowledged the centrality of the Christian worldview in all areas of the curriculum; developing students in the academic, social, physical and spiritual domains. These days we have moved well and truly into the 21st Century with a technology-rich environment, and diverse learning experiences across a wide range of subjects and interest areas. We are thankful to God, and to our founders and supporters, for the wonderful years of assisting families in bringing up their children to know the grace and love of our Lord, and to be active in expressing that through service in our local, national and global communities.

Great Results for Local Athletes

ď ˛ď€ Shane Munaweera and Shannon Munaweera. Image supplied.

The NSW Youth and Junior Athletics championships were held last month at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre. The athletes were excited to be competing at the newly renovated venue and good performances were expected. Local residents Shane and Shannon Munaweera truly shone! Shannon competed in the Under 18 Women Hammer Throw. With a mighty effort of 39.51m. She won the Bronze medal. She was just short of her competition personal best distance and tantalisingly close to the magic 40m. With an outstanding leap of 6.41m, Shane won the Silver Medal in the Under 17 Boys Long Jump. As a result of these performances, both Shannon and Shane have qualified to represent NSW at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships, which will be held in Perth in March 2016. Representing local Little Athletics Centre Jamison, the siblings competed at the Regional Championships. Shannon competed at her last Little Athletics competition after 12 years of competing. Shane also competed at the Little Athletics Region 6 Championships last month, in the Under 15 Boys representing Jamison Little Athletics Centre. He won Gold in Long Jump, Discus and 100m Hurdles, Silver in 100m and Bronze in 200m. Shane broke the Region Long Jump, 100m Hurdles and 200m records, following up his effort of another record at the zone championships in December 2015. Good Luck to Shannon and Shane in Perth at the Australian Youth and Junior Championships.

As always, life is very busy at Henry Fulton Public School. We have had a great start to the new school year which has included welcoming all of our new students and their families to our school community. Our new Kindergarten students are settling well into the school routine and are displaying great enthusiasm in all areas of school life. Students across the school are setting learning goals which they working very hard to achieve and are demonstrating a ‘love of learning’. There are many exciting and educational activities planned for our students this term, including our annual swimming carnival, Stage 3 Camp, Harmony Day, National Young Leaders’ Day and other school activities. All the staff and students are looking forward to a rewarding, exciting and enjoyable educational journey throughout 2016. Our school is well-supported by our parent community, with many of our parents/caregivers helping in the classroom and at various sporting carnivals and activities. We greatly value and appreciate this wonderful support. Sharon Crowley, Relieving Principal P: 4730 4136 (Article written and submitted by)

Easter and Grief – The Season of Loss and Renewal Easter is celebrated all over the world by chocolate eggs and bunnies. For Christians the focus is on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and living in peace and love. For many people it’s all about family, Easter egg hunts, attending church and having fun but not this year. This year someone is missing and you don’t feel like joining in celebrations. The reality is that what you are feeling right now is your “new normal”. You probably haven’t had someone die before so, like everything that is new, it's important to learn how to grieve in your own, unique way this Easter. You might not feel like getting out of bed but you have children who want to celebrate Easter, the way they always have. This year do it different. A way of doing this is to start sharing happy memories of your loved one. Sharing these memories help to fill the empty space left by your loved one and to keep their memory alive. Memories can be shared by: • Sitting around the table and telling stories • Flipping through scrapbooks/photos • Writing poetry • Drawing pictures and sharing their meaning • Showing movies of them • Making things for them • Writing letters to them Do whatever feels right for you. Your children might have some ideas (they usually do). My wish is that you make Easter happy for you and your family.

Local Mums Helping to Fijian Boy

Save

 Ashmit needs our help. Image supplied. While Fiji is a popular holiday destination for thousands of tourists every year, Fijians do not have access to medical care that Australians take for granted. Rachelle Matousek, trustee of Fijikids is in Fiji working on the medical and visa requirements for Ashmit. “Families like Ashmit’s have no funds, and no options. Ashmit’s pain is worsening daily and he is rapidly declining. It is heart-breaking.” A neurosurgical team are on standby in Sydney however treatment is not free for overseas patients. If you wish to contribute to Ashmit’s treatment you can donate at https://www.gofundme.com/SavingAshmit or can contact Rachelle Matousek directly on 1300 721 121.

Happy Easter! Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolate... lots and lots of delicious chocolate! Easter is a great time for the human members of the family, but the infamous Easter egg hunt can end in tragedy for our four legged friends. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which when ingested by a dog or cat, causes vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, increased heart rate, restlessness, muscle twitching, increased urination, excessive panting and if left untreated can be rapidly fatal. If your dog does accidentally eat some chocolate it is vitally important that they are seen within 30 minutes to an hour by your local veterinarian. The veterinarian will give an injection to make your pet vomit, which removes most of the toxins from the body. Sometimes, your pet will be hospitalised, where intravenous fluids may be used, an enema or stomach pump may be required, and we may also need to use muscles relaxants and activated charcoal. There are a few simple precautions you can take to ensure that your pet has a safe Easter: • Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet. • Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolate. • Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets.

Dogs have a good sense of smell and will find chocolate in kid’s schoolbags! • Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around. Colouring In Competition In the spirit of Easter what better way to brighten up the veterinary hospital, than to host a colouring in competition. All entries will be displayed on the walls of the veterinary hospital. You can download the entry form from our website www. orchardhillsvet.com.au, Facebook page or pop into the veterinary hospital and pick up a copy. Post your entries to Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, 377 Wentworth Road, Orchard Hills, NSW 2748, or drop them in at the veterinary hospital. All entries must be received by 9am on Tuesday 29th March 2016. Please ensure your full contact details (name, address, phone number, email) are on the back of the entry form or envelope. Winners will be drawn and notified at 10am on Tuesday 29th March 2016. 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. For more information check out our Facebook, website www. orchardhillsvet.com.au or call 02 4736 2027.
