Building Confidence at Kip McGrath

Glass doesn’t make for very good compost!

By Hayley Ryan (Kip McGrath North Perth)

Online tutoring is now available for those who find it difficult to physically travel to a centre. Now all you need is an internet connection and an up to date computer to access services previously only available in centre.

t Kip McGrath Education Centres, we find that one of the biggest barriers to student success is a lack of confidence.

Losing confidence in one’s ability in a subject can be detrimental to a student’s progress if it isn’t targeted, affecting them at school for many years.

very year the Resource Recovery Facility in Neerabup processes over 100,000 tonnes of general household waste collected from the Cities of Joondalup, Vincent and Wanneroo and the Town of Victoria Park. Here the organic part (food scraps, lawn clippings, garden pruning’s, paper etc.) is removed from the other waste and is turned into a composted soil conditioner.

Kip McGrath teachers pride themselves on catering to each individual student and their parents. Each child is unique with their own strengths and weaknesses and getting to know these is one of the ways we support our students to reach their full learning potential.

Kip McGrath Education Centres design individualised learning programs, catering specifically to each individual student’s learning needs. Lessons are taught by patient, experienced, fully qualified teachers equipped to deal with any learning needs and anxiety students may have in maths or English.

Unfortunately, glass deposited into the green-top bins can’t be used to make compost. This glass needs to be removed and is sent to landfill, but some of the glass still remains at the end of the process and contaminates the compost. This glass could more beneficially be utilised if residents placed it in the yellow-top recycling bin.

For further information and to book your free assessment, visit www.kipmcgrath.com.au or call your nearest centre:

The Kip McGrath teaching and learning method is systematic, methodical and has 40 years of success behind it. Each week builds upon the week before, and is consolidated with relevant homework, creating the necessary stepping-stones to success. At Kip McGrath, the success of all students is celebrated by teachers who care.

Balcatta 9240 2335 (under new management) Booragoon 9330 4003 Ellenbrook 9297 3654

To reduce this glass contamination and to improve recycling outcomes, the Mindarie Regional Council (MRC) and its member councils, supported by the Waste Authority, is running a ‘No Glass’ campaign to encourage residents to make use of their yellow-top recycling bins to dispose of bottles and jars.

Kip McGrath not only caters for children who are struggling, but can also extend those students who are bored with school work that is too easy. We offer extension for gifted students and exam preparation for seniors. Preparation for NAPLAN and OLNA is also available.

Mundaring 9295 6255 North Perth 9227 1043 Victoria Park 9472 7480 Willetton 9259 4833

If you have a lot of bottles and jars take them to a recycling centre like those at Tamala Park or Balcatta. Large amounts of sheet glass, particularly broken glass from doors, windows and tables should be taken to and disposed of at your local tip or transfer station. The ‘No Glass in the green-top bin’ campaign has prompted residents to divert their glass away from the green-top bin but we need to keep up the effort and spread the word to those who haven’t yet changed their behaviour because glass doesn’t make good compost. For more information see www.mrc.wa.gov.au

“I have too much glass and my recycling

bin is full,” is something Geoff Atkinson, MRC’s Education Manager, often hears. His advice is to talk to your neighbours and see if they have some spare room in their recycling bin. You can also try to make room in your own bin by crushing cardboard boxes so they take up less room or, if you really have to, remove the cardboard and place that in the green-top bin because at least the cardboard can be composted.

Why are the birds so angry?

n the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we’ll finally find out why the birds are so angry.

The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re The Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen) and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when mysterious green piggies visit the island, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what they are up to. Featuring a hilarious, all-star voice cast that includes Bill Hader (Trainwreck, Inside Out), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), as well as Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, this year’s

nspired by a passion for the Montessori method of early childhood education and a need to find a quality preschool for their daughter, Anita and David Endersby opened the first Montessori Childcare in the lower northern suburbs of Perth in 2008. With dedication, and a loyal team behind them, it became a highly sought-after educational program with a long waitlist. 2015 was time to hand the reigns over to a new owner, while Anita and David enjoyed a well-earned rest. Now, with batteries recharged, their goal is to deliver what was requested by so many parents - a Montessori Early Childhood Development Centre in the north. Anita’s personal belief in the Montessori approach for developing confident young learners is evident in her enthusiasm for this new project. “It takes a lot of energy and time to get these things started and it has always been

important that we come from a base of passion about what we are doing,” Anita said. “It has to be for the right reasons I think otherwise it is just another business. Children in the Montessori environment learn valuable life skills that are often forgotten in our hectic lives, but we also need to remember the changing needs of the millennium child.” To register your interest please contact Anita on 0432 370 041 or email montessoriwa@gmail.com

Beauty & the Beast comes to life

World class theatre program for kids

n a land far away, an ugly creature lives in misery in a cold, empty castle deep within a strange forest.

arking Gecko Theatre Company’s mission under new Artistic Director, Matt Edgerton, is to encourage children to embrace a creative life. This vision is turning into reality by bringing the Ensemble program to more permanent locations across Perth and regional

He had once been a handsome prince but after a curse from an evil fairy he must hide from the world, for who could ever love a hideous animal?

W.A.

On the outskirts of the forest a beautiful girl lives with her beloved father and her vain and selfish sisters. Travelling through the forest one day, the family is separated from Beauty. Lured by the image of a beautiful rose, Beauty stumbles upon the castle and its frightening owner.

In Term 1, the Ensemble program expanded into UWA, the Subiaco Arts Centre and Koorliny Arts Centre in Kwinana. In Term 2, the Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre will be the company’s first hills based location while Broome will offer the Company’s first regional Ensemble.

Barking Gecko’s Ensembles offers children, from ages 5 to 17 years, the opportunity to participate in weekly drama classes during school term to complement school drama classes or provide young people with a new pathway into performance.

The Barking Gecko Theatre Company’s Ensemble program offers children a unique opportunity to succeed by being able to develop high quality drama programs, having world class professional performers as presenters and having programs running in a working theatre company environment.

When only a sacrifice of true love can break the spell, is there hope that a Beauty can ever love a Beast?

Bookings for Barking Gecko Theatre Company’s Ensembles are made online atwww.barkinggecko.com.au These fantastic ensembles are only possible with assistance from Healthway, promoting Smarter than Smoking.

Education & Performing Arts Stress less to learn more

tudents taught by Victoria Carlton methods are less stressed, encouraged to be creative and helped to excel. Victoria knows that no two children learn the same way and this is why her programs cater for a wide range of learning styles. “I want every child taught by my methods to love education and aim for the stars,” Victoria said. “Bored, switched off children do not learn well and therefore we provide a stimulating, resource rich learning environment.” All staff using the Victoria Carlton methods are specially trained to foster emotional intelligence as well as academic intelligence. This helps children reach their full potential and enjoy the process.

as stimulating early childhood programs.

The programs offered for Primary and High-School students include literacy, numeracy, EQ4KIDZ and Study Skills as well

Centres offering the Victoria Carlton method are located in Bayswater and Cockburn Central.

Quick thinking by a Perth mum Shows why knowing first aid can make all the difference.

medical crisis can strike at any time, and knowing first aid can make all the difference in a person’s recovery.

William was nearly two years old when he suffered severe burns from a household accident. His mother had recently completed a first aid course and knew what to do in an emergency. “When my son was 23 months old he was badly burned by a cup of coffee,” she said. “Following my first aid training, I responded quickly and stripped all his clothes and put him in a cold shower for 20 minutes before taking him to hospital.” Once in hospital, William was cared for by renowned burns specialist Winthrop Professor

St John Ambulance WA, the state’s leading first aid training, wants to make first aid a part of everyone’s life. St John First Aid Services and Training General Manager Aaron Harding said: “Providing first aid in a medical emergency can have a huge impact and support the efforts of paramedics and doctors, as we saw with William.”

Fiona Wood. In just four months of treatment, he had no visible scars. If it had not been for his mother’s quick thinking, the outcome could have been far worse.

In 2014/15, St John trained more than 220,000 people in first aid, including more than 100,000 WA schoolchildren through the First Aid Focus program.

“Fiona Wood told me that if I had not administered first aid, William could have been scarred for life,” William’s mother said. Winthrop Professor Wood said: “Twenty minutes of cool clear running water reduces the impact of burn injury in children by 80 per cent, so this first aid message is fundamental not just for parents of children but all members of the community.”

For information about first aid training or the Tiny Tots first aid kit, Call 9334 1233 or visit stjohnambulance.com.au

St John has recently launched the Caring for Kids course which includes a complementary Tiny Tots first aid kit to help equip parents, grandparents and carers of young children to be able to respond to a range of child-related injuries and illnesses.
