Opening up the world of learning in-centre and on-line

State of the art IVF clinic opens in Joondalup

By Julie Courtis (Willetton)

By Laura Dugay (General Manager – Fertility North)

ip McGrath Education centres have been providing individualised learning programmes for children in Australia for over 35 years. Experienced teachers provide support for students who find school work difficult, for children wishing to excel or who are preparing for exams. Now, Online Tutoring opens up a whole new world of opportunities for children to be tutored at home with a qualified, caring teacher taking the lesson in real time. Kip McGrath’s multimillion dollar advances in technology allow children to access the proven methods of tuition only previously available in-centre. All you need is an up to date computer and an internet connection. At Kip McGrath Education Centres students work on individualised programs with computer and manual activities to revise and consolidate their learning. They learn how to learn as well as what to learn. Homework tasks are specifically designed to revise and consolidate the teaching and learning which takes place during sessions. Early intervention and development of confidence are the keys to getting on top of any issues that your child may be having with

learning. By identifying areas needing attention, individualising programs, using quality resources and professional tutors, Kip McGrath Education Centres are able to help students move forward with their learning, with particular emphasis on English and maths skills. All students can learn given the right teaching and Kip McGrath Education Centres pride themselves on assessing, devising programs and quality teaching to give students the opportunity to reach their full potential. If you are concerned about your child’s academic achievements in 2014 or believe that he/she is not reaching true potential, call your local Kip McGrath Centre today and discuss the in-centre and online options available. Proven methods gain results! They are here to help.

n Australia and New Zealand, one in six couples are having to cope with the disappointment and heartache of infertility, and unfortunately this is a number which is continuing to increase. Fertility North has experienced this increase in patients coming through their doors over the past 12 years and is now at a point where they need to expand their facility to accommodate and support this growing number of infertility patients. In October, Fertility North will be closing the doors on their old clinic which will be a bittersweet and emotional time for the staff. So many memories, both joyous and heartbreaking, have been made within the walls of the old clinic and it is going to be difficult to close the doors for one last time. That being said, excitement is building surrounding the relocation to their brand new facility and the fresh new surroundings will create an even more positive and productive environment for both patients and staff. The new facility is nearly three times the size of their old facility. It’s custom designed and built as a fertility treatment clinic. This customisation will provide staff with the

space and orientation to provide the highest level of patient care. In addition, Fertility North has invested in brand new state of the art medical equipment to fit out the new clinic, which will improve patient experience even further. The layout has been specifically designed to improve workflows, create a safe environment for both patients and staff and to utilise natural light wherever possible. The clinic design also optimises views of Lake Joondalup which creates a calming and relaxed atmosphere. Located in the new development, Joondalup Health Campus, the new Fertility North clinic continues to offer patients the safety and care of the Joondalup Private Hospital operating theatres, private wards and accredited anaesthetists. They’ll also continue to offer patients emotional support throughout their treatment journey via the clinic counsellors and highly trained fertility nursing team. Visit us at the new clinic located at Suite 30, Level 2, Joondalup Private Hospital, 60 Shenton Avenue, Joondalup. Visit www.fertilitynorth.com.auor call (08) 9301 1075.

very parent of a baby or toddler should take part in a child-specific first-aid course!

First aid skills are vital and should be refreshed as your child grows because hazards are always evolving. When babies start crawling and picking up things, parents are concerned about choking. These concerns shift when the child is walking and exploring by opening cabinets and doors or falling over themselves because they haven’t developed their balance. Worries now start to shift to falling, poisons and burns. As a result, the first aid training offered by Family First Aid is different because it has a

The first 10 months of your child’s life, from conception to those first momentous weeks after they are born, are a true blessing and a joyous time. However, this beautiful journey can leave many parents-to-be, particularly first-timers, nervous and a little overwhelmed.

esilience is the ability to adapt to stress and adversity. Some children are naturally resilient as their temperament helps them to be mentally and psychologically tough. Such children get straight back up after a disappointment or setback, and being rejected in the playground doesn’t seem to worry them.

My Midwives Perth offers women the opportunity to experience one-on-one midwifery care, with your chosen midwife, from the beginning of the pregnancy, through your labour and birth until your baby is six weeks old, with many services available in the comfort of your own home. You have the option of birthing in hospital or at home and wherever you choose to be your midwife will attend you.

Not every child is like this but fortunately research tells us that we can develop resilience in our children. Promoting resilience is an ongoing process. Parents and care givers can help by nurturing their children, not solving all of their problems for them, actively involving them in family discussions, decision making and problem

Thirty-five to fifty percent of breast cancer goes undetected by mammography in women with dense breasts, as density masks the appearance of tumours (Boyd, Pisano and Berg).

Studies report that women with dense breasts have a five to six times greater risk of breast cancer compared to women with very low density. Density in breasts also decreases the sensitivity of the mammogram and can impact early detection.

FAMILY DINING GUIDE

Separation and property divisions

A family culinary adventure

visit to Spencer Village Food Hall in Thornlie is like a culinary journey overseas, with a great atmosphere and truly authentic food that recalls the hawker food of Asia. And as they say, you can tell it’s authentic because you’ll always find lots of Malaysian and Singaporean families there enjoying a meal.

f you and your spouse or your de facto partner separate, you will need to consider how to divide the property you own.

The term “property” is widely defined, and can include obvious things like your house, car and boat, but also includes less obvious things, such as your furniture, shares, bank accounts, jewellery and personal effects.

Meals are very affordable and there is a great variety on offer, from Malaysian, Singapore Hawkers, Japanese, Malacca, Chinese, Penang, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Cuisine in the Food Court, plus Philippine, Indian and Pizza stores outside the Food Court as well.

Basically, “property” will include anything which has any value (i.e. can be sold for any sum of money), and it may include items held in your name, your spouse’s name or in joint names. It may also include items held in the name of a business, company or trust which you or your spouse have an interest in. If you were married, any Superannuation entitlements held by either party are included in the asset pool, however, if you were in a de facto relationship, in Western Australia, the Superannuation entitlements are considered as financial resources, and are treated differently. Kott Gunning Lawyers recommend that both parties obtain legal advice as to their rights and entitlements as soon as possible

Spencer Village Food Hall is spacious and totally family-friendly. There’s enough space for the whole family, with long tables and bench seats, and amusements to keep the

kids busy while they’re waiting for their food. You can relax and know they’re being entertained. Take the family on a culinary adventure to Spencer Village Food Hall, 202-212 Spencer Road, Thornlie.

housands of children have been taught the right preventative and conclusive tools on how to deal with the different levels of bullying through WA Institute of Martial Arts workshops. Their workshops were recently recognised with a Highly Commended Award by Children’s Week. Children who have learnt these skills are more confident and resilient when being confronted. Parents are present at these workshops and interact with the children throughout, so they’re also given information on how they can help their children through confrontations.

Headline acts announced for Canning Show

The workshops have also opened up a dialogue between parents and their children about different situations they’ve been in and how they can handle them better in the future. Parent’s feel they are actively helping their children to be more confident and resilient.

anning Agricultural, Horticultural and Recreational Society is proud to announce the headlining acts for the 2014 Make Smoking History Canning Show.

Direct from Melbourne, GaGa Magic and support act, Perth based support band Boys Boys Boys! The new initiative by the Society to introduce a Saturday evening headline act will close the show with a bang for two great

nights out! The Make Smoking History 2014 Canning Show will open on Halloween 5pm–10pm Friday 31 October 2014 and play host to a Creepy Carnival of ghouls, goblins, tricks and treats, followed by a family fun day 9am– 10pm Saturday 1 November 2014 celebrating the International Year of the Family Farm.

For the month of October, WAIMA would like to offer the community two weeks free training in their beginner classes. It is better to learn self-defense and not use it rather than needing to know self-defense and not know it.

TERM 4 ENROLMENTS OPEN For Children 3 to 11

any children are stressed, agitated, angry, depressed, fed-up and tense. They’re not given a chance to relax and be kids. We race them to school, sports practice, music, to drama. When do they play? When are they allowed to dream, reflect or be creative? far more receptive to learning. Calm children definitely learn more! The EQ4KIDZ course is available for children who need to develop confidence, resilience, anger management and general emotional intelligence. This course is held in the October holidays as well as during Term 4. Please call 9271 4200 if you feel your child could benefit.

EMAS is a program designed to develop the right side of the brain using the abacus as a tool. Their aim is to accomplish whole brain development; it’s much more than a mathematics course!

SEMAS Academy Australia To book a FREE TRIAL & DEMONSTRATION call 1300 436 009 for more information

www.semas.com.au

The SEMAS classroom includes learners as young as three years old. The method is also sensitive to the fact that very young learners respond best to short periods of intensive activity. SEMAS develops fast mental calculations and is also associated with creativity, memory and imagination. Students are able to draw upon the right-brain, which increases speed and accuracy.

o answer this question you will need to look at the qualities that a Montessori environment brings.

Your child will:

sweeping • Be offered lessons that are appropriate to ones abilities and interests • Learn how to work as a part of a caring community If these are attributes you work toward at home, then Little Things Montessori Childcare and Pre-School may be just the environment for your child. Visit www.littlethingsmontessori.com.au or call 9445 7755.

• small groups • home tuition • study skills • exam preparation

And, despite the use of an abacus, it is most definitely not senseless repetition. SEMAS improves a wide range of skills that are needed in many areas. These include comprehension, concentration, listening, creativity and problem solving. Ultimately, SEMAS fosters a love of mathematics in children and boosts self-confidence!

Small groups of 6 or less (all questions answered) Focus on current class work (no set worksheets) Perth’s most affordable tuition (no contracts) Highly interactive sessions (not lectures) Ongoing evaluation of student goals (not just cirriculum delivery)

26 years in Perth – no drownings

rownings occur at the water’s edge, not at the fence line. Children climb fences; it is a challenge to them and they are inquisitive little characters, finding all sorts of ingenious ways to climb over or under pool isolation fences. Gates present no obstacle to children. Aside from climbing over the gate, they are able to enter the pool area through the gate, as they often don’t close properly.

Aquanet swimming pool safety nets are all customised onsite. They form a barrier between children and the water. The safety nets are designed so it’s impossible for preschoolers to walk on them. Unfortunately this age group makes up most of the

The safety nets are designed to support children at the water’s edge, a “kiddie catcher” from which they can clamber off unharmed. Call Rodger at Aquanet on 9335 6986 all hours, or visit www.poolcoversonline.com.au for more information.

Finding your nearest after hours GP is now child’s play

eing sick isn’t much fun, especially when it’s after hours and you urgently need to see a GP before the morning. Think flu, fever, coughs, headaches and upset tummies - we’ve all been there. And the matter becomes more worrying when you’re a parent and it’s your child that’s unwell, and all you want to do is help make them feel better.

To avoid this and to take away the stress of finding an after hours GP, Perth Central & East Metro Medicare Local has created a special website – www.percyspractice.com.au

Like many parents you might rush to the hospital’s emergency department (ED), but you could find the ED team is managing medical emergencies so seeing a doctor could be a long wait.

At Percy’s Practice you can quickly find the nearest after hours GP practice or clinic by simply typing in your postcode and hitting the search button. It’s as easy as child’s play.
