The importance of imagination
T
his year the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy is celebrating 40 years of delivering dynamic and engaging drama classes.Their curriculum has been developed to allow creativity and imagination within structured, teacher driven lessons. Einstein said ‘imagination is more important than knowledge.’ Developing improvisation skills helps young people understand how to appraise situations, think outside the box and be more confident in unfamiliar situations. Drama also teaches empathy, cooperation, concentration and memory – and improves motivation and reduces stress! Each lesson contains a different improvisation, short scripts, creative movement and short scenarios using the student’s own creativity. At the end of the

The art of conversation
e all produce waste, a lot of it. It’s just a part of living in the modern world.
Most of us, though, have become a bit lazy and complacent when it comes to waste – we buy more than we need (and often these things come heavily packaged) and we tend to use and dispose of items relatively quickly.
E
ye contact, greetings, everyday chitchat and meaningful communication is so important. But with technology crowding our lives, it’s easy to see why children are losing the art of conversation.
When these items are thrown away, we simply placed them in a bin for the council to take away. Easy.
Helen O’Grady Drama Academy’s unique program helps children gain confidence in their verbal communication skills. It’s all done in a fun, stimulating way – and classes include speech training, dramatic play, creative movement, music, storytelling, dressups and more.
We can all do better if we just Avoid, Reduce and Reuse. Time to face your waste and look at what you buy and throw away. In most instances, there will be simple changes that can be made to reduce the amount of waste we make.
At the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy, children can connect and communicate in a safe environment that fosters creativity and imagination. All teachers are qualified educators with specialist training.
When you go to buy something, ask yourself: • Do I really need it? (Avoid) • Do I need as much of it? (Reduce)
Weekly classes for kids of all ages (3–17) are run at many locations throughout WA. Enrolments are now open. Call 9242 4722, email helen.davey@helenogrady.net.au or visit helenogrady.net.au
• Can I use it again, or can someone else? (Reuse). If the item is broken, can it be repaired? And, if I don’t
want it anymore, can it be repurposed and used as something else? All these things prevent waste from being generated in the first place. But if, after all that, you need to dispose of an item, dispose of it wisely. Many councils are moving to a three bin system – general waste (red lid), garden and recycling (yellow lid). In some cases, there’s even a bin for food organic waste (lime green lid). Sorting your waste makes is easier to process, and helps keep waste from going to landfill. Make sure you put the right things in the right bins – remembering that not everything for disposal goes into these bins. Some things have to be taken to special collection sites for recycling, or landfill. Check with your local council for what goes in what bins.

Australia says #NoMore
F
amily violence is not something that people like to talk about but it’s a very real and common issue.
HBR Family Lawyers encounters family violence on a daily basis, through all sections of society. Family violence is not just physical abuse, it can also be financial or mental in nature, and it affects everyone in the family, especially the kids. The Australian Government has recently launched familyviolencelaw.gov.au, a website containing essential services for those experiencing, or know someone experiencing, family violence. There are also lots of other local and national services available to help.
Visit the NEW Safety Demonstration site for tips and products to help reduce injuries at home.
140 Railway Parade, West Leederville Partner:
Exploring an obstacle trail, where all the equipment is well grounded and there is adequate supervision, allows the children to take a risk and improve their balance. When children have strong balance, it helps them with jumping and riding a bike and then later in life it helps them with surfing, skiing and other hobbies.

Recycling paper and cardboard
P
aper is a natural and versatile product that is being used in more places than ever before.
Most paper and cardboard is recyclable – and we generally do a good job of recycling it. However, not all of it can be recycled. Paper and cardboard must be clean to be properly processed. Some paper is just rubbish, like: • Shredded or small pieces Locations: Brentwood | Rossmoyne
• Used tissues and napkins • Dirty paper with food or sauces on or in it The paper/cardboard items need to be clean and empty. A paper bag filled with other containers and wrappings and a cardboard takeaway box with chicken bones is not recyclable. But just because paper is natural and recyclable doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be looking at ways to reduce our paper waste. Think about your use of paper/cardboard products and can you avoid, reduce or reuse.

here’s a lot of learning going on at Knuckleberry Farm, where McKenna (8), Hunter (9) and Emily (14), help run the family business.
Respect - Sacredness - Excellence - Togetherness
‘I wanted the children to know how business works,’ said the kids’ mum, Steph Olsen. ‘It’s a way for them to find that when you work for things, it pays off.’ Their free-range eggs are collected and sold under the Knuckleberry Farm label and Steph believes the children are learning important financial lessons.
From left, Hunter, Emily and McKenna Olsen with their chickens at Knuckleberry Farm.
The kids love every bit of their business – and when they’re not learning about finance on the farm, they’re learning more maths at NumberWorks’nWords. ‘It helps a lot because it backs up what I do in school,’ explained Emily. ‘It’s way easier to learn than at school,’ added Hunter. ‘The tutors don’t just say ‘do it,’ they help you.’
‘NumberWorks’nWords is fun,’ says McKenna. Phone Janice at NumberWorks’nWords Subiaco now on 9388 3727.

The Adrenaline Vault youth program offers fun, creative, experiential learning for children 17 years and under. Designed to introduce climbing progressions to young climbers, the program also promotes healthy lifestyles and positive interactions between children. At Adrenaline Vault, children get to experience bouldering-only climbing –

ress up like a pirate, bring your treasure, and raise money for kids' brain cancer research.
Pirate Day in May is a national annual campaign to raise awareness and muchneeded funds for childhood brain cancer. Schools have the choice of running their Pirate Day on any day in May and can register their schools online. Childhood brain cancer kills more Australian children than any other disease. Treatment for childhood brain cancer has changed very little over the last thirty years – and, therefore, survival rates haven't changed much either. Funds raised on the day are allocated to scientific studies to find better treatments, and ultimately a cure for childhood brain cancer. Raise funds for this worthy cause whilst having fun. Register your school now at piratedayinmay.com.au

any adults avoid visits to the dentist due to anxieties that developed when they were children. To ensure a positive experience for their children, many parents know to look for the child-friendly approach of a Paediatric Dentist. More than just a ‘kids dentist,’ a Paediatric Dentist has trained for at least eight years to deliver specialist-level care for children.
Tyler (aged 9) from Quinns Rocks tries out the selfieccino with a photo of him and his favourite dog Oreo.
Early next year, Igor plans to take his Bumblebean Coffee van on an Australianfirst trip around the country, visiting the major cities and sharing his love of coffee along the way. He will be roasting, grinding and brewing his very own coffee on the road. Interested sponsors can contact him at bumblebeancoffee@gmail.com
This training helps to create a welcoming, comfortable experience for children – and having their first visit at age one is the perfect time to start building a positive rapport. Working in Midland, Paediatric Dentist, Dr Rod Jennings, works every day with children. His training helps to create a positive, stress-free experience for both children and their parents. No referral is necessary and eligible patients are bulk billed. To arrange an appointment with Dr Jennings, contact Toothbuds Paediatric Dentistry on 6155 9899.

t’s been 30 years ago since I last visited Caversham Wildlife Park, I couldn’t remember much of my first experience so a recent visit to the place was really a first for both my daughter, wife and I. Firstly, the kangaroos at Caversham Wildlife Park immediately come to mind as being our favourite attraction. There’s literally hundreds of friendly kangaroos waiting for you to come up to them with a treat. They even love a good old scratch! Besides the kangaroos, Holly was especially captivated by Neil the wombat and the koalas, and especially jealous of how the keepers could give them a cuddle whenever they wanted. Being able to get really up close and interacting with native wildlife is really what
