FRESH PHOTOGRAPHY

A fashion designer and a scientist walk onto a sandbar ... the rest, they hope, will change history. Kit Willow and Tim Flannery are conservationists from different walks of life, but with a shared environmental purpose and passion.

They met our journalist Jane Rocca on a Climate Council research trip to Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef. Willow’s label, KITX, was among the sustainable brands invited by the Duchess of Cambridge to a Commonwealth exchange program this year – from a garment studio to Buckingham Palace and Heron’s shores, the world is listening. ●

COVER STORY

Fashion designer Kit Willow and scientist Dr Tim Flannery share an eco-minded mission.

THE FABRIC of LIFE 4

DOM A IN REV IEW

“We are powerful entities on the planet ... and it’s time to man up and realise you have to change.”

DR TIM FLANNERY

W

hen Australian fashion designer Kit Willow launched a sustainable fashion line Kitx in 2015, she put the planet before large profits and modelled her new business on a win-win ideology.

It was during a year off after departing Willow, her first fashion brand, that she had her business epiphany. She wanted to reinvent her own fashion wheel by sourcing ethical fabrics, working with mills that minimised water waste and pollution, and one where artisans were able to give back to their communities.

“I had to create a brand that minimised the use of materials and its impact on the environment,” says Willow, who was inspired after meeting industry expert Jochen Zeitz in 2013 – the man behind the B Team with Sir Richard Branson – who found profitable ways for business to be eco-friendly.

“With manufacturing being one of the planet’s greatest pollutants, I knew I had to do something,” Willow says.

“But, I personally wanted to address sustainability without compromising desirability, and there were no Australian brands doing it.”

Discarded plastic found on the ocean floor is repurposed into a sultry, black body suit in Kitx’s resort collection for 2019. It’s an achievement she’s proud of. The luxury garment is made from econyl – a sustainable generation process developed by Italian company Aquafil, which produces 100 per cent recycled textile yarn.

“They remove fishing nets from the ocean and turn it into a nylon thread, which is then made into a fabric using solar power in Italy,” says Willow.

“That’s a great example of a win-win. We’re reversing negative impact into a positive and taking something that doesn’t belong in the ocean and

harming marine life, and turning it into a thread. I really feel this is where technology and commerce needs to go in the future.”

Her mission to save the planet one eco-frock at a time has also caught the attention of acclaimed Australian scientist, writer and conservationist Dr Tim Flannery. He has written more than 27 books on climate change and last month hosted a Climate Council research trip to Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef alongside Willow to discuss the impact of fossil fuels and carbon emissions on coral life.

“It’s what I call a wicked problem,” Dr Flannery says. “It has taken us 200 years to get where we are.

We built a life on fossil fuels and now there’s costs for doing that.

“If people don’t believe we have an influence on the planet, I think they’re not seeing the big picture,” he says.

“Just look at the earth at night – it’s lit up like a Christmas tree. We are powerful entities on the planet and the atmosphere is 500 times smaller than the ocean. We are changing the composition of the atmosphere, and it’s time to man up and realise you have to change.”

T

hroughout history, protest has always been a powerful tool of self-expression and freedom. Bob Dylan did it through folk songs while 6000 French students spurred a social uprising in Paris in May 1968. Willow says a new revolution is happening in 2018 and consumers are voting with their conscience.

“Consumers are ready now,” she says.

“There is a global awareness now which is stronger than ever. More people are asking for sustainable choices. If my business model is successful then others will think of doing business

Wo r d s

Ph o t o

this way – that’s when I know I will have achieved what it set out to do.”

Willow was one of the designers featured at the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange at Buckingham Palace this year – an initiative founded by film producer and eco-activist Livia Firth – in which she and craftswomen from the Solomon Islands combined on a dress that used no dyes or machines.

She still works closely with artisans and sources through trusted bodies such as Fashion Revolution and Artisans of Fashion.

“Working with artisans is the key to low impact.

The weaving is made by hand, it’s got the human touch and it’s old world. We have to keep that going,” says Willow.

Fabrics with minimal impact on the environment include organic cotton (because no chemicals or pesticides were used), hemp, linen and silk. Viscose and cellulose fibres that have been consciously grown (no forests were cut down in collecting the wood pulp to make it) – are better choices than pollutants like polyester and nylon.

What does the Great Barrier Reef have to do with fashion and politics? Plenty, according to a new Climate Council report that estimates a repeat coral bleaching is likely every two years by 2034 under current greenhouse gas pollution rates.

“We have to go from a carbon-emitting economy to a carbon-absorbing economy one,” Willow says.

“And we have to listen to scientists like Tim Flannery, and put them on a pedestal. Warming oceans is no accident – it’s linked to carbon emissions, and we need to take notice of what we’re doing to the planet and start making decisions that limit the devastation. If you don’t have a sustainability strategy as a business, you’re dead in the water.” ●

fter you’ve stayed in a Bill Bensleydesigned hotel, you will never forget it. The larger-than-life international designer and landscape architect has dazzled travellers with his amazing hotels for decades.

Chatting in his studio in Bangkok, surrounded by his beloved Jack Russell’s, Bensley explains that despite being a big-name designer, he doesn’t have – or want to have – a recognised style.

“People come to me because they want something unique,” he says. “The only thing I tell clients is that it’s going to be as whacky as hell and unlike anything else.”

While Bensley’s hotels may verge on the eccentric, they are never less than beautiful.

One of Bensley’s own favourite places, The Siam in Bangkok, is a great example of how the designer weaves the outdoors inside his buildings.

Hugging the Chao Phraya River, the 39-room hotel is arranged around a series of courtyards – the biggest is a glass-covered atrium with huge banana trees.

“I’m a gardener first and foremost,” Bensley says.

“I come at architecture very differently to other people.”

Bensley was born in Orange County, California, not far from Disneyland. His parents and sister are English, his brother is Canadian, and he’s “the Yank”.

He studied landscape design in California and later urban design at Harvard. He followed a classmate to Singapore in 1984 and made Asia his home, setting up his Bangkok studio in 1989.

He’s designed more than 200 hotels in 40 countries and in 2017 he was inducted into the Hospitality Design’s Platinum Circle Hall of Fame in New York.

At heart, Bensley’s a myth maker. The Siam is an art-deco inspired hotel, and re-imagines what it was like to live in Bangkok in the early 20th century.

“Understanding what the site is about is much

DESIGN

Spend a night in pure hotel heaven Check in to a hotel designed by Bill Bensley, the master behind the dreamiest destinations, and be assured of ultimate luxe. Wo r d s M A RY O ’ B R I E N more important than what the architecture looks like,” Bensley says.

Though only built six years ago, the Siam Hotel feels like it has been in situ for decades. Not surprisingly, it has a cult following and celebrities like David Beckham have been known to check in for some R & R. “I wanted to create a hotel that says something about the neighbourhood and that has history,” he says. “I wanted to evoke a feeling of lost grandeur in that part of town.”

The hotel is filled with interesting antiques and works of art from its rock star and actor owner Krissada Sukosol Clapp’s collection.

It’s also a good example of Bensley’s philosophy of upcycling.

“You don’t have to have everything brand new,” says the man who loves to op-shop.

Bensley brings me on a tour of his studio, the former Iraqi embassy in Bangkok, where dozens of people are busy at work: on computers, in studios and painting canvases. We go into his store, a treasure trove where his op-shop finds are piled high, seemingly in random order, with little stickers of place names.

“Oh, so that’s where that was,” he says, fingering a painting.

Bensley started designing landscape gardens in Bali in the 1980s. He slowly moved into architecture and interiors and now he designs everything from the gardens and buildings to staff uniforms and menus. He spends half his time travelling the world and has a team of 100 in Bangkok and 100 in Bali, many of whom have worked with him for decades.

The projects closest to his heart include the Four Seasons Tented Camp in Chiang Rai, the Capella in Ubud and Rosewood Luang Prabang in Laos.

His next big challenge is his much-anticipated Shinta Mani Wild, where guests can zipline over a river and waterfalls into $2500-a-night luxury tents in the Cambodian jungle, sandwiched between two national parks. Due to open in November, there are only 15 tents, inspired by Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ travels through Cambodia in the ’60s.

In general, Bensley prefers low impact environmental projects with a small footprint.

“I want our resorts to grow out of nature and to be done with minimal impact.” ● Mary O’Brien was a guest of The Siam.

Everleigh in Fitzroy is the ideal place to find a barstool and toast a new season. The bar has created a Grapefruit Collins that adds freshly squeezed citrus to a Tom Collins for the ultimate spring cleanser.

If you really want to crank it up a notch, enquire about The Starling Room, a private space you can access for groups of 15 people or fewer on any night of the week.

The relaunched rooftop at Bomba in Lonsdale Street is another place for an after work or sunset tipple. Apart from the skyline views and Spanish tapas on offer, it’s a place to cosy up to the floral cocktail notes of Dewy Dilligence. This is where Dill Gin, beetroot and apple, dry white sherry, lemon and orange blossom combine for a thirst quencher.

Donovan Cooke’s Ryne in St George’s Road, Fitzroy North gives us the Blood & Sand – a juxtaposition in title and flavour. Think vodka, blood orange, cava and citrus sugar for a spring spritz winner. A glass rimmed with sugar evokes sandy shorelines and is the ultimate pick me up for northsiders.

TIM GREY

At Frank Camorra’s Bar Tini, Yuzu Yuptae (a yuzu and Spanish Grappa sour) is the spring cocktail of choice. For those less fixed on fruity, there’s still enough bitterness to keep the drink stiff without caving into floral consequences. Herbal grappa from Galicia in the north-west of Spain does a salsa dance with roasted yuzu gel (proudly made in Victoria). When combined with lemon juice, egg white, sugar syrup and a few dashes of Angostura bitters and double-strained into a cocktail coupe, you’ll be angling for more than just one.

A nod to Australiana comes in the patriotic form of the Bloody Bramble – a showstopper at St Kilda’s Stokehouse. Think Four Pillars Shiraz Gin, known for its sweet spice, with elements of juniper and eucalyptus. The bartenders use rosella flower in the form of a syrup, as well as candied as a garnish, to make it the perfect drink to sip in the sun.

So, whether you’re a traditionalist cocktail connoisseur, a sucker for a spritz in a highball or keen to dabble with new seasonal flavours, spring is a time to rethink your bar strategy and find a new flavour sensation. ●

MUSIC

Navigating new seas

A

fter winning 17 ARIA Awards with Powderfinger – over a career that spanned 1991 to 2010 – Darren Middleton stepped away from music and suddenly found himself reassessing his life.

At first, he walked away content to be taking some time out, but then he found it hard to reacquaint himself with music.

“I hit many emotional brick walls and got a bit depressed when Powderfinger ended,” guitarist Middleton says.

“I had to fall in love with music again, but I was depressed and had to get myself out of that place and learn to appreciate it again,” adds the father-of-two.

His third solo album, Tides, is unlike anything he’s released before. It’s upbeat and gritty with an old-school pop craving, and features Vika and Linda Bull, Kelly Lane on backing vocals, Luke Hodgson (Meg Mac) and Louis Macklin (Jet).

But more than rubbing shoulders with some of the best in the business, Middleton wanted to channel a new energy with people he knew but hadn’t worked with before.

“I purposefully wanted Tides to be different,” he says. “My first two albums were an excavation of the soul and filled with lots of home truths but I wanted this one to be more energetic and rougher around the edges. That’s why I got Davey [Lane, of You am I] involved.

“My first two albums were an excavation of the soul ... but I wanted this one to be more energetic and rougher around the edges.”

“There is a song about my son’s bullying and I see no harm in talking about it,” Middleton says.

“Over the course of a few months we noticed our son wasn’t motivated and his confidence shattered.

He wasn’t talking to us, but did open up about being bullied by a bigger kid. As a parent, you start off angry and concerned, but the recipient of the bullying doesn’t want you to tell a teacher.

“Eventually it was resolved and our son stood up for himself. It was pretty heartbreaking when you first hear about that.”

Middleton, who has also a daughter, says his life experiences find a way on to his records.

“Whether you do it consciously or subconsciously it’s ever-present,” he says. “There’s always an element of truth in the songs I write – be it personal or just observations.” ●

“He’s a good friend, we play in another band, Arc, together and when I first moved to Melbourne seven years ago we lived a few streets apart.”

Middleton, who also writes film scores with friend Simon Walbrook via their company Sonaire, says he left Brisbane for Melbourne as there were more work opportunities there.

He wrote the score for Heath Ledger’s Two Hands movie and has also mixed tracks for Architecture In Helsinki, Kid Loco and Princess Superstar.

As a kid, Middleton discovered a love for the guitar when a mate gave him his to mind one evening after soccer training. He was 15 when he taught himself how to play.

Tides, which was recorded straight to tape for a vintage feel, explores themes of human vulnerability and bullying.

TRAVEL \ ANT WERP It’s hard being the second child and Antwerp should know. Belgium’s biggest port city often plays second fiddle to big brother Brussels, especially when the European Parliament is sitting. However over the past few years Antwerp has been slowly, but steadily, becoming the country’s capital of cool.

The creative scene Sure, as a historic European city, Antwerp has the obligatory town square with Instagram-perfect buildings, uneven cobblestones and lofty churches, but what sets it apart is the thriving creative scene emerging from the laneways, warehouses and industrial neighbourhoods.

From the second-hand stores of Sint-Andries to the converted warehouses of Het Eilandje and openair market of Het Zuid, Antwerp is full of young artists, entrepreneurs, international students and creative types.

The architecture

Belgium’s second largest city has a definite cool factor.

The food Yes, Belgium’s staples of mussels, waffles and chocolate are delicious, but Antwerp’s food scene offers much more. The city has 17 Michelin-starred restaurants, including two-star The Jane, set in an old church, and Graanmarkt 13, which has a slowfood restaurant by notable chef Seppe Nobels plus a concept store, accommodation and a “fast slow food” truck out the front on Saturdays.

From the stepped gables in the old town square to the Gothic spires of the Antwerp cathedral, the city is a showcase of historical styles. Central Station, built between 1895 and 1905, is considered one of the world’s most beautiful. The art deco Boerentoren was the first skyscraper in Europe. For a modern fix, try Zaha Hadid Architects’ Port House.

The fashion Antwerp’s association with fashion really started in the 1980s with the Antwerp Six. Their avant garde designs and distinct point of view brought Antwerp into the spotlight. Since then the city’s streets have brimmed with new designers, fashion houses and some of Europe’s best vintage fashion shopping.

The museums Antwerp’s diamond trade is still one of world’s largest and, to celebrate, the new diamond museum DIVA has just launched. Nearby Rubenshuis was the Baroque painter’s home in the 16th-century. The Museum aan de Stroom covers the city’s history. ●

SAM WOOD \ FITNESS

Smarter, not harder, gets results

H

ow much should you exercise a day? This is one of the most-asked questions of me.

Gone are the days in which it was commonly believed that in order to get results or enjoy the benefits of exercise, you needed to train for an hour a day.

I’m a big believer that the quality of your workouts is more important than the quantity, and this has long been my approach when it comes to training.

Instead of trying to log as many hours in the gym as possible or double up on your daily workouts, you need to make every workout count, as opposed to counting every workout.

During my time in the fitness industry, I’ve learnt that consistency, variety and intensity will yield better results than volume.

Obviously, if you’re training for an endurance event or the like, you may need to train longer, harder and more often but for the average Joe or

Sally, it’s about training smarter, not harder. So how much should you exercise a day?

I definitely think we should aim to do something active every single day, but this doesn’t mean you need to push your body to the max seven days a week. Adopting a balanced attitude and giving your body the rest it needs is imperative if you want to avoid injury or burnout.

Personally, I try to do three to five challenging workouts a week that are either high intensity interval training (HIIT) or strength-based.

I complement these with two lower-impact, lower-intensity workouts that could be anything from walking my dog to a swim, a yoga session or even just some nice mobility work on the foam roller.

I believe that 28 minutes is the magic number.

The reason for this is three-fold. It is long enough to get brilliant results but short enough to genuinely

LIVIA TROPEA & K ATIE TRIB E SPECIAL PROMOTION

atie Tribe leads curriculum support, enhancement and extension at Fintona Girls’ School. This has seen her work closely with high achieving students, such as Livia Tropea, a year 8 student who shares Katie’s enthusiasm for learning and setting new challenges. Livia was part of a successful team from Fintona that took part in this year’s World Scholar’s Cup in Melbourne.

I’ve been at Fintona since year 5 and I enjoy most subjects but I particularly like Latin and drama. I also study French at school and Italian on a Saturday morning. I like languages and drama is a favourite subject because it’s fun. I like that drama is more of a hands-on subject and is different from more book-based subjects.

I don’t get nervous about performance and acting, and I’m always involved in our house drama performances on the final day of school. I really like the rehearsal process and working with people to make a performance better. I also enjoy performing for an audience.

When Ms Tribe joined Fintona early last year I met her through the da Vinci Decathlon academic competition. Teams from different schools compete against each other across different subjects like mathematics, science, English and general knowledge.

This year Ms Tribe spoke to students about the World Scholar’s Cup that involves activities like debating in teams about different topics.

Ms Tribe mentored us through the regional stage of the competition and then the global stage. It was a lot of fun and she is a great mentor because she understands what appeals to us.

She encouraged us to work as a team, to make sure we had a method of communication while we did our individual research and preparation and that the workload was shared out and delegated. Ms Tribe also gave us tips on how to debate effectively.

A highlight of the event was getting my alpaca – it’s the symbol of the event and was given to all participants.

I was named the No.1 debater out of more than 250 students at the regional event and so I was then part of a debate showcase.

That was a highlight for me. I was part of a team

that had to argue that teenagers would not make effective diplomats.

Ms Tribe always reminds us to give things a go and to have fun and I think that’s good advice. I don’t know what I will do after I leave Fintona, but it will be something that I find engaging because I never wanted to be bored.

K ATIE SAYS ...

During the past 15 years I have worked in girls’ schools locally and overseas in gifted education and I have a masters in special education and gifted education. I spent time at girls’ schools in London where I held leadership, teaching and pastoral roles.

My role at Fintona sits outside the curriculum and a key part of what I do involves organising extension and enrichment activities for the girls, such as the World Scholar’s Cup. I enjoy my role because we are a small school and we want to expose the girls to a wider community of like-minded students and a wider world of opportunity, too. I enjoy helping them go beyond the curriculum and to apply what they learn in the classroom more broadly.

My biggest passion is the love of learning.

I love watching girls like Livia activate their brain, extend their knowledge and enhance their

understanding. It’s a powerful process and I feel very privileged to see that in action.

It’s very rewarding to see someone like Livia and to see her maturity and leadership skills develop as time goes on.

Livia likes to talk and she’s quite strong in her opinions! But through the World Scholar’s Cup I saw her learn to flex those opinions.

The competition originated in the US and so there is quite a lot of hype around it, but Livia didn’t get overwhelmed by all that.

She was very good at taking command of the debate and cleverly steering things towards her team’s position. And she was the first to encourage her teammates when they were feeling overwhelmed by the event or the level of competition.

I went to a Catholic high school in country Victoria and I began teaching because I had an English teacher there who always told me I had potential and to just have a go.

I remember her asking me what I had to lose by trying something new. What’s the worst that can happen? The sky won’t fall. It’s all experience.

I repeat that to Livia and all the girls I work with.

I remind them that they have the ability, challenge is good and they don’t have to be perfectionists, so just have a go. ●

A proactive approach

A

s director of Geelong Grammar’s Institute of Positive Education, Justin Robinson admits his long-term hope for how wellness is taught in schools could actually end up costing him and his colleagues at least their titles.

“Part of our hope is that the name will disappear – positive education will just be called ‘education’, because no matter where you’re educated you’ll learn numeracy, literacy, all the academic and creative skills,” Robinson says.

“But you’ll also learn about resilience and gratitude and relationships, and the social and emotional skills that will help you throughout life.”

Robinson believes schools chart their direction in keeping with society’s needs; in the early 1900s, for example, education was framed around the industrial revolution, when people needed to obey rules and carry out repetitive jobs.

Today, with the rise of ill-being evident in growing rates of anxiety, depression and suicide, schools need to be proactive in providing wellbeing skills and knowledge.

“Partly as a result of a fairly safe, peaceful society – and then also through increased ill-being in the developed world – the response has been, ‘Let’s build a science around wellbeing’,” he says.

“Hence, came positive psychology; ‘Let’s try to

study hope, study optimism, study resilience, study how you build relationships, study how you find meaning and purpose in your life. Let’s add some of that scientific rigour and method to trying to work out how you help a young person develop social and emotional skills so as to cope and contribute in society,’ ” he says.

Geelong Grammar’s focus on positive education dates back more than a decade, while the institute – a resource that has helped train nearly 15,000 teachers from all over the world in wellness education – has been operating for the past five years. Through a project called Positive Education Enhanced Curriculum, a carefully sequenced curriculum framework sets out more than 400 lessons covering students from early learning through to VCE. Robinson notes that before wellness was actively taught in schools, its principles were embedded for children through participation in youth groups, sporting clubs and the like – effectively a case of the village raising the child.

The structured model of teaching wellness relies on a similar sharing of the load, with parents, teachers and students all on board.

Embedding the teaching element, so that a lens of wellbeing sits across everything at school, can be done without fuss and with an eye to the small things, such as teachers not having special chairs that differ from those of students and perpetuate notions of power. Or committee meetings (uniform, parents’ advisory, and so on) breaking with the norm by placing a single item on the agenda – wellbeing – and discussing it.

Buy-in to the program continues at Geelong Grammar, with Robinson reporting that every staff member – from the principal to teachers, gardeners and cleaners – has completed a three-day positive education discovery course.

“Which shows them how important we think wellbeing is, and to have this common language to help nurture the wellbeing of those around us. It’s in the water now; it’s just something we do.” ● PETER HANLON

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Taking practical steps

I

n the not-so-distant past, “wellness” was an unfamiliar concept that had nothing to do with the classroom; these days, it’s a staple of many – if not most – schools, with educators across Australia weaving wellbeing programs and topics into their curriculum.

This year, Mentone Girls’ Grammar went a step further by introducing a new resource to complement their wellness component.

SHE Journals are diaries and wellbeing planners that were designed by a team of the school’s teachers and senior staff, and handed out to every student at the beginning of term one.

Content varies for different year levels, and the books are divided into sections such as mindfulness and life skills.

Joanne Frost, the school’s vice-principal and head of wellbeing, says the journals were created because teachers “saw a need”.

“We were doing a lot of things with a lot of different resources, and now we’ve got everything in one place,” she says. “It’s a support to underpin some of our program.”

“Some” and not “all”, because the school’s wellbeing program must be dynamic in order to respond to issues as they arise in the community and the wider world.

So far, the journals have been a huge success, with other schools keen to adapt them for their own students. Frost says students – particularly those in years 7 and 8 – have really engaged with the initiative, telling teachers they “love” their journals and sharing suggestions for next year’s editions.

“Girls are enjoying having the opportunity to reflect on their day,” she adds.

“It’s nice to give them permission to have that quiet time to do a bit a journaling or mindful colouring, even some goal setting for the next week.

“It’s theirs; it’s not about teachers looking at it,” she says.

Over at The Knox School in Wantirna South, staff recently revamped their wellbeing program significantly to ensure its relevance.

“It was completely reviewed to look at the issues children are facing today, particularly in light of smartphones and social media,” explains principal Allan Shaw.

“Subsequently, it’s had a much greater focus on communication skills, care, empathy, resilience and responsibility.”

A wellbeing committee comprised of the school’s vice-principal, psychologist, nurse and heads of house, oversees the program, while heads of junior, middle and senior schools also provide input and monitor its progress. Like Mentone Girls’ Grammar, the school ensures the program is adaptable in order to address issues that might arise.

“There is an actual program to be followed but, also, we understand that key to it is the relationships that the adults have with the students,” says Shaw.

“So, the program can be flexed by the teachers when needed, should they need to pursue a certain other topic with students because it’s topical.”

Feedback from surveys regularly conducted with parents and students shows the revamp is proving popular. “We’re seeing continuing growth in the overall satisfaction with the program,” Shaw says.

“That’s good to see.”

Essentially, wellness programs allow students to prioritise emotional, mental and physical health alongside academics, giving them the language and space to speak up if they need help.

This adds up to making wellbeing initiatives, in Frost’s words, “a no-brainer, really”. ● ERIN MUNRO

t’s not news that diets heavy on sugar, saturated fats and processed foods aren’t healthy for kids’ growing bodies, but recent research is showing poor diets can be detrimental to their brain development and mental health as well.

The Food and Mood Centre, a collaborative research program run by Deakin University, has a team of researchers studying the ways that food can influence an individual’s moods, brain and mental health. Since 2009, they’ve led studies that have demonstrated a link between diet and mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression.

And while a range of research has shown that unhealthy diets can lead to children having behavioural and emotional problems, the Food and Mood Centre’s work has found that poor nutrition is

also linked to having a smaller hippocampus – a part of the brain that plays a large role in learning and memory.

“We know that nutrition impacts on neurocognitive development in children, and not just development but also function,” explains Dr Tetyana Rocks, who joined the centre at the end of last year.

“A higher quality diet during childhood has a positive effect on cognitive functioning.”

The chief executive of Nutrition Australia, Lucinda Hancock, who has engaged with the centre on campaigns supporting healthy lunches in schools, agrees with Dr Rocks. “The bottom line is a healthy diet is crucial to ensuring children learn and concentrate and are happy,” Hancock says.

So, what should kids be eating throughout a school day to optimise energy and focus? Hancock says they need a balance of the five “core food groups”: fruit, vegetables, grains, lean meats and legumes, and dairy or dairy alternatives for calcium.

“Basically, when packing a lunchbox, you should focus on filling it with core foods,” she explains.

As an example, Hancock recommends a

wholegrain sandwich or wrap with cheese, lettuce, tomato and tuna. If a child is vegetarian, eggs or a legume could be substituted to add protein. For snacks, sliced fresh fruit, vegetable sticks, yoghurt and wholegrain crackers with cheese are preferable to processed, packaged foods.

“You could even have a little wholemeal blueberry muffin,” suggests Hancock. “Ensure that you’re not wasting room in the lunchbox on high-kilojoule snacks that don’t have any nutrition.”

By providing nutritious foods, Hancock explains, parents are helping to keep their child’s mood stable and prevent the dreaded sugar rush – and the inevitable crash that follows. If time-poor, try to prepare the lunchbox the night before and plan ahead by having key foods on hand. For parents

seeking further tips, the Healthy Eating Advisory Service website (heas.health.vic.gov.au) offers a range of lunchbox ideas.

From a bigger perspective, Hancock says it’s important that schools support students’ nutrition by removing junk foods from canteens, adhering to government guidelines, and participating in healthy eating initiatives and campaigns. Examples include “fruit break” and “Crunch&Sip”, set times where students pause their work to snack on fresh fruit and vegetables and drink water.

“It’s so important that the whole school environment is engaged,” says Hancock, “and takes this responsibility seriously by supporting parents in offering good choices, rather than putting up barriers.” ● ERIN MUNRO

FIRE ACTION WEEK

7 - 14 October 2018 This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to start planning for a long and hot summer ahead.

Low rainfall over winter has dried out much of the state and forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology of a dry and hot summer means that we need to prepare for an earlier and longer fire season.

Message from the Premier

Our dedicated emergency services are working with communities, businesses and local councils to reduce the risk for our state.

Recent bushfires – both here in Australia and overseas – remind us of the need to understand our own fire risk.

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe.

Stay informed

You can also find out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days.

2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass.

3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home.

5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres.

6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to).

7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees.

ust launched, Anderson Creek is a boutique master-planned community of 58 luxury townhouses set in natural landscaping on a former Uniting Church site, adjoining Schafter Drive Reserve.

At 152 Andersons Creek Road the new community will be five minutes’ walk from The Pines Shopping Centre and a few minutes’ drive from six schools.

Two-thirds of the new homes will have views over the adjacent reserve or nearby Currawong Bush and Mullum Mullum Creek parklands; while the development will also have direct reserve access.

Acclaimed architects Rothelowman have designed seven townhouse types to suit couples, growing families and downsizers, using the site’s natural fall to create elevated living areas with large private double garages below.

Wonder Property managing director Will Xu says they aimed to create beautifully designed homes that offer residents the best lifestyle and convenience. “We could have built many more apartments but we wanted to offer a higher quality lifestyle.” ● LIZ MCLACHLAN

A Trader’s Market Most people describe a property market as either a buyer’s market (prices going down) or a seller’s market (prices rising).

Simply put, one is deemed bad for buyers and one deemed good for sellers and vice versa.

The current market should be termed a trader’s market. Falling markets come with silver linings & create opportunities for savvy traders. Instead, real estate agents tend to refer to a falling market as a ‘tough market’. Sellers call it a ‘bad market’. The market is normal, neither ‘tough’ nor ‘bad’ if one accepts the reality of the day and then decides the best way to trade the conditions.

Even though prices are falling, a savvy trader can make smart and profitable moves in a bear market.

Shortlist together.

Get a better view of what you both want.

When property prices fall, transaction volumes tend to fall at an even faster rate.

This is because vendors increasingly take a position on price for their existing asset and refuse to sell. As a vendor it is easy to feel as though your property is the only one on the market struggling to sell when in fact the market at large is dealing with the same issue.

miss the opportunities that arise elsewhere in the market. Opportunities that more than offset the shortfall you may experience on the sale.

Unfortunately, sellers who take a position of pride on price with their existing dwelling, can miss the opportunities that arise elsewhere in the market.

The Melbourne market conditions could be flat and/or falling for some time. Those wanting and needing to buy and/or sell cannot afford to take a stubborn view to the current market conditions, if they want to trade successfully.

Australian real estate has been generous over the long term, but the short term is prone to price corrections as we are now learning.

For the 7 tips and strategies to assist you in how to best trade the current market, go to our website www.hudsonbond.com.au/news or call me personally on 9840 7700 and I will send you a copy.
