Pathways to a successful future The most important thing we can give young people is the Gift of Education.

Education gives a sense of purpose and meaning in life and opens up a future.

It empowers people to make choices and to realise their talents.

Unlike wealth and relationships, once you have an education, you have it for life; nobody can ever steal it from you. To help you select a school or a course of study Mawson Lakes Living brings you a special Education Liftout this month.

There’s advice on how to choose a school, where to find Open Days, where to study the International Baccalaureate. In the centrefold you will meet the Principals of our local schools. You can also find out about adult education at the Mawson Centre.

When the citizenship awards for 2015 were handed out, two residents from Mawson Lakes were honoured. Announcing Dr Penny Burns as the Council's Senior Citizen of the Year, the Mayor commented: “This woman could live anywhere in the world but she chooses to live in Mawson Lakes.” Mawson Lakes Living asked Dr Burns why she chooses to live here. You can read her reply on page 11.

The team at Mawson Lakes Living loves to play with creative design and follow colour trends.

Mawson Lakes Living is an independently owned community magazine for people who live, work, study and play in Mawson Lakes. Advertising is open to anyone with products, services or events relevant to the people of Mawson Lakes.

Pantone is the world’s colour authority and each year Pantone designates a Colour of the Year to express in colour what is taking place in the global zeitgeist.

To distill the prevailing mood into a single hue Pantone combs the universe, watching out for that one colour seen as ascending through all creative sectors. Influences can include the entertainment industry, upcoming films, art, emerging artists, textures, travel destinations and socio-economic conditions.

In 2015 the Colour of the Year is Marsala, a rich, earthy red-brown. Think of the fortified wine and you have it. It’s a sophisticated, complex and full-bodied colour with many layers that translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.

Here at Mawson Lakes Living we have translated Marsala into our layout. You will see it on the cover (teamed with black) and across the pages.

I love its warm and dramatic effect. I hope to see lots of Marsala in Mawson Lakes this season, from lipsticks to interior walls. It teams beautifully with teal, blue green and orange.

Go, colour our suburb!

When love dies Last month’s issue "love is in the air" was a heartwarming issue, encouraging us all to go out and live, love and enjoy. Even though I separated from my wife over a year ago, I still think love is worth the risk. For me, the cost of our disconnection was easy and cheap. We were able to agree on our financial arrangements hence the cost was as low as a court filing fee of a few hundred dollars.

There are “do it yourself” options through the Federal Court of Australia and Family Court.

Free legal advice can be obtained through the Legal Services Commission or Community Legal Services. - Steve Driver Benefits of limerance Being in love is the best feeling in the world. I know, I’m there. My body is filled with hormones.

Sex therapist Bettina Arndt, author of The Sex Diaries calls the period of first love "limerance".

She says it lasts between 9 months and 2 years.

Well, however long it lasts I’m going to enjoy it.

Thanks for a great mag last month - Hartley Heywood Dogs off leash I’m shaking as I write to you from the fright we got while walking our dog this evening along Dry Creek Linear Park. A large dog off the leash came out of the creek all muddy and wet, and when he spotted our dog he came running towards us, while the owner casually walked after her dog, not making any attempt to call him back.

My husband picked up our dog because it was getting more scared and agitated by this dog running towards us. Once the dog approached he made a few attempts to jump on my husband to get closer to our dog. The owner claimed under Council provisions that it was OK to have her dog off the lease. But Council regulations say that all dogs need to be on a lead between 8am and 6.30pm, and even when dogs are off the lead, an owner must have effective control of their dog. This means that a dog must instantly respond to its owner’s voice commands. Too many people in Mawson Lakes constantly break this law and make walking uncomfortable and unsafe for others.- Delta

Mawson Lakes Living is the bible of Mawson Lakes.

Everybody waits for it. Everybody loves it! - Andre Dantu, Sales Manager, Activate Property

Aggressive dogs Nigella's article on "fence line safety" was excellent. I find when I take my dog for a walk that some dogs behind fences are quite aggressive.

My dog has been attacked three times in the street. Also our street is full of barking dogs. We have spoken to our neighbours but they simply ignore us and allow their dog to bark. Apart from it driving us crazy, especially at night, it can't be enjoyable for the dog. We have considered leaving ML because of poor dog behaviour. I would like to encourage you to continue writing articles like this, they just may make a difference.

- Kerry Allison Ed - If you missed "fence line safety" in MLL/Jan you can see all past issues of MLL online at www.mawsonlakesliving.info How to deal with barking and aggressive dogs If you suffer a recurring problem with a dog in your neighbourhood you can seek assistance from Salisbury Council. Council will require you to keep a diary which you can download from their website. www.salisbury.sa.gov.au/Services/ Pets_and_Animals/Dogs/Dog_Noise Council inspectors will visit the site and talk to other neighbours to confirm your complaint before they take action against the dog owner to resolve the problem. Council number is 84068222 Magazine packs a punch I love MLL, it’s full of surprises. It has something for everyone and every time you read it, it packs a punch. - Robyn Mercierre, Salisbury Seniors Project Officer

Send your comments to the editor: office@mawsonlakesliving.info Parking Waiver Council is aware that small businesses have found it difficult to start-up in Mawson Lakes. One of the reasons is the large contribution businesses had to make to the future Parking Fund for the area. At its January 2015 meeting, City of Salisbury Council voted on a proposal initiated by Cr Brad Vermeer, to exempt all businesses with a floor space less than 200m2, with a parking shortfall of less than 2 spaces per 100m2, from contributions to the Parking Fund. A review of the effectiveness of this proposal to generate economic activity and its impact on parking will be made in two years. - Cr Steve White Birds of Mawson Lakes Sitting on my fence is a Turtle Dove, and feeding on the nectar of my Grevillias are several New Holland Honeyeaters. Until I looked up the beautiful book Birds of Mawson Lakes on your website (MLL/ Jan) I didn't know the names of these birds. It’s a real pleasure to be able to identify the birds in my garden. - Marlene Tribbeck, Trinity Green.

Fitness in ML From the number of gyms that advertise in MLL it seems we are a very fit crowd. Not surprising as fitness is a growing national obsession. A recent report shows that Australians spend $8.5 billion a year on gym membership, sports equipment and the latest fitness fads. This equates to about $2,240 per household. Almost one million Australians spend at least $25 a week on gym membership. The report shows that 94 percent of us do some form of physical fitness. The top three fitness activities are walking, running and going to the gym. You see plenty of this in ML. - Cindy McEnroe

New garden site We are greatly disappointed that the Open Gardens Australia organisation will close its doors in June this year. We couldn’t sit by and see this important connection between gardeners disappear. That’s why we decided to launch My Open Garden, a new online service that acts as a "one-stop-shop" for garden owners and visitors across Australia. It’s a free service.

Now community groups, special interest groups and garden clubs have a place to promote their event and importantly everyone can get free and easy access to the information. See www.myopengarden.com. au- Andrew Mowat, Managing Director – My Open Garden Pty Ltd

World's Longest Bike made in Mawson Lakes In the lead up to the recent Tour Down Under, a group of Mawson Lakes engineering students had a dream to design, engineer and build the world’s longest bike!

The huge bike, over 40 metres in length and weighing 2.5 tonnes, had to meet some important set criteria and come in under a fairly tight budget.

The goal was to design and construct a bike that could carry the weight of 20 riders, had only two wheels, and could be powered by a traditional chain and pedal mechanism. It also needed to travel 100 metres or more to snatch the world record from Norway.

As one of the record-breaking crew, UniSA Vice Chancellor Professor David Lloyd said the project had been a bit nerve wracking, but exhilarating.

"The whole project has been a fantastic example of great teaching and great partnership and I’m really thrilled for all involved that it has been a success."

The bike is currently on display at UniSA’s Mawson Lakes campus.

UniSA took the Guiness World Record for the world’s longest bike, smashing the previous record by some 16 metres.

Debt Consolidation Debt consolidation loans allow you to take control of your debt. It means you take out one loan to pay off all of your existing debts.

Benefits of Debt Consolidation A lower interest rate on a single loan instead of varying, higher interest rates of multiple loans can save you a significant amount of money.

Since mortgage interest rates are often lower than those of hire purchase and credit cards, you will still be seeing savings from paying less, and you get the added advantage of only making repayments to your mortgage.

If you are interested in saving money or want to pay off your loan sooner, consolidating some of those high interest debts may be an option.

Example: You may create a saving by consolidating all debts into one loan, and one low interest rate. The total loan is now $300,000 (@ 4.39% p.a.) over 30 years. The repayments are reduced to $1,500 per month. This creates a reduction in payment of $1,781 per/month, freeing up cash for a better quality of life, or you can continue to pay $3,281 per/month saving you Years and Tens of Thousands of Dollars off your loan. This example is based on a Home Loan of $300,000 at 4.39% p.a. over 30 years and paying out all other debts in full. Conditions Apply. Normal lending criteria apply.

Outdoor artwork in Mawson Lakes may be a picturesque pool with reclining wooden seats in Mobara Park that says our community values nature and spaces for quiet reflection; or it may be a more formal modern sculpture such as the work Ascension rising from Douglas Mawson Lake that celebrates our cultural diversity; or a panel of sculptures at the university that capture the Art of Learning.

Top legal adviser at Mawson Lakes A well-respected retired judge of the Family Law Court will be consulting to Northside Lawyers in Mawson Lakes this year.

"Sometimes a small input from an experienced law practitioner can help 'turn the key' and I find this is particularly enriching work,” he said.

Retired Judge Stuart Lindsay from the Federal Circuit Court has worked throughout Australia, but this year he returns to Adelaide as a member of the bar.

Although living in Adelaide from a young age, Stuart had never been to Mawson Lakes until his first visit here in January. “As soon as I came into Mawson Lakes I felt a sense of calm. It’s a modern suburb with modern facilities but it is has the quiet ambience of a sequestered community.”

Principal of Northside Lawyers, Bill Morris, said that Stuart brings calm, logic and politeness to family law that is fraught with emotional conflict.

"We are delighted to have a legal professional with an unparalleled understanding of family law come to a suburban practice to consult on matters that are legally complex."

He confided to MLL that the part of his work he most looks forward to each week is coming out to Mawson Lakes. Ed

Since retiring from the bench in 2014 Stuart has been travelling overseas and enjoying professional and spiritual refreshment, but this year he is returning to the bar as a barrister with a chambers in the city. In addition, he will undertake some parttime consulting in Mawson Lakes.

While consulting with Northside Lawyers, Stuart will also take on the role of mentor to young lawyers in the Northern District to advise them on work issues.

N MAWSO S E K LA TS RESIDENED D AWAR

Citizens Making A Difference From either end of the age spectrum, two residents from Mawson Lakes received Australia Day Awards from the City of Salisbury this year.

Dr Penny Burns from Trinity Green was awarded Salisbury Council’s Senior Citizen of the Year for her pioneering work in the field of strategic asset management. Tyele Riddle received the Council’s Young Citizen Award for driver safety eduction.

Dr Burns said that as an economist she spent 30 years figuring out how to increase service productivity from government infrastructure by reducing costs and risk. "When I was just starting out in my profession governments did not know the value of their assets or the condition of them."

Presently she is working on a series of podcasts called "You The Mayor" which look at the problems faced by local councils, the consequences of their actions and how, with greater understanding by ratepayers, Councils can do things better.

Dr Penny Burns and Tyele Riddle (at back in black hat) receiving 2015 Salisbury Council’s Citizen Awards.

Dr Burns went on to produce eight parliamentary reports covering water, health, energy, highways, public transport and housing, schools and colleges showing how to use money more effectively to increase productivity and deliver better outcomes and benefits from government resources.

“I love doing things which people tell me are impossible.”

- Penny Burns

Today Penny is a sought-after international adviser, and the computer modelling she designed and uses changed the way government assets are managed.

Young Citizen Tyele Riddle (25) was in a car crash when she was 19 that put her in a wheelchair. She now talks to high school students throughout the state as part of the Road Awareness Program in a bid to reduce road crash fatalities. She said that overconfidence and inattentiveness were the biggest dangers for young drivers.

When announcing the award for Dr Burns, Mayor Aldridge commented: "This woman could live anywhere in the world but she chooses to live in Mawson Lakes."

Mawson Lakes Living asked Penny why this was so and she replied, "As long as I have my computer I can work in any location, but there are few places in the world that are as pleasant and as friendly as Mawson Lakes. To me it’s like living in a holiday resort. People greet me as I walk around the lake, the shady street trees are magnificent, the Salisbury libraries are excellent and there is hardly any graffiti. I grew up in Salisbury and my family is here and I feel safe and happy here." Ed

What is an emoji?

Emojis are small cartoon-like image icons used to enhance digital communication such as text messages, email and social media. They are generally pictographs - images of everyday things or icons to represent emotions or activities.

Emoji is a Japanese word meaning picture (e) + character/letter (moji).

As the 20th century drew to a close, mobile phone users in Japan were increasingly using picture messaging to communicate. A single picture message could be as large as hundreds of text messages, putting a strain on mobile service providers who were already struggling to support the needs of millions of users of a rapidly growing technology. In a time of restrictive text message character limits, the emoji became the solution.

Emojis are widely used and much loved today - in a world of mobile technology and digital

communication, the emoji helps us to convey feelings, emotions or attitude in a single character - adding a personal touch to text messaging. Just as simple punctuation can convey surprise, or pose a question; emoji can convey happiness, sadness, laughter, anger or cheekiness. Not being able to read someone's facial expression, or hear the tone of a voice, it can be very difficult to convey the warmth, respect, gratitude and interest that we are far more easily able to communicate face-toface. Emojis don't fix the problem, but they definitely help.

I worked in the central island cluster, Thursday Island, Prince of Wales Island, Horn Dr Peter Bertossa BDS Island and the outer islands Badu, Moa, Mabuiag, Murray, Saibai and Sue. My job was to coordinate myself from Island to Island, moving portable equipment on and off barges and into medical centres a week or so at a time.

Planes moved me around from one grassy airstrip to another. My dental assistant was anyone who volunteered. My clients often arrived a bit wet by tinny, hours late sometimes, depending on the weather ('island time' as I was to discover).

One island had its own dental chair which was kept on the veranda of one of the community elder's homes presumably for a relaxing posture in front of the beautiful Torres Strait views.

Neighbour Day - Sunday 29 March The community you want starts at your front door Neighbour Day is Australia’s annual celebration of community, bringing together the people next door, up the street or across your suburb. It is held on the last Sunday in March each year.

Neighbours are important because good relationships with others can enrich and change communities, but often we don’t have time to stop and chat. This is the occasion. Social connection makes us feel better as it helps prevent loneliness, isolation and depression.

Mawson Lakes Living will be holding an afternoon tea this year for its neighbours. What are you doing to get better acquainted with your neighbours?

Whether it’s a cuppa with a few people or a barbecue for the block, your Neighbour Day can be as big or small as you’d like.

Mawson Lakes Living : Issue 93 - March 2015

Relationships Australia has responsibility for Australia’s annual celebration and they provide ideas on what to do and how to get it up and running. They even have free invitations and posters.

Growing native plants by Berry van Vuuren

Mawson Lakes

Garden Club

Inc.

Planting native plants can bring great joy to a gardener and benefits to the environment so I thought I would share some photos of a few of mine which have created glorious colour in my garden this summer.

1 Callistemon/Bottlebrush The bottlebrush has a long life, hardly needs any maintenance and is almost impossible to kill.

The flowers attract native birds especially honey eaters and are extraordinarily colourful. This is weeping bottlebrush which grows into a large shrub in all areas of Australia. It flowers from late spring to autumn.

2 Hibiscus Tillaceus/Cottonwood.

This is a tree native to the shores of the Pacific and Indian oceans. It can grow to a height of 8-10m and will get very wide if not pruned. This is a very ornamental tree and the flower is bright yellow and lasts just a single day. The leaves are heart shaped and change colour from green to dark red/green and then yellow. It prefers full sun but can be placed in a pot and grown indoors if placed by a window where it gets as much sun as possible. Potted plants will require a balanced fertilizer.

3 Grevilleas This shrub needs full sun or light shade for best results. They require little fertiliser but seaweed products are recommended when planting. Grevilleas may be pruned to maintain an attractive shape. If water stressed they have a good survival rate but may not flower so well.

4 Gaura /Butterfly bush These are hardy perennials that will flower in the first year. They will flower from summer to early winter. They are frost resistant and will grow to approximately 90cm high. They are great for scattered plantings, cottage gardens and containers and pots.

Happy Gardening!

Education for a successful future With the appointment last month of Susan Close as the State Minister for Education and Child Development we will see changes in SA education.

Dr Close is the mother of school-aged children so she has a working knowledge of the education system and she has been listening to educators for quite a while, so expect to see reforms in the services that the government provides. This will involve meeting individual students, the advanced qualifications every teacher will be required to have and the buildings where teaching takes place.

make sure that the school your child attends best suits your child and your family. The article on page 4 will give you tips on choosing a school.

However education does not stop when school finishes. Post-school education prepares people for a career, and later in life adult learning enriches the lives of participants, often people who have moved beyond the workforce or those new to Australia.

See story on the Mawson Centre on page 10.

In this special Education Liftout, Mawson Lakes Living covers many aspects of education and I hope it will prompt you to check things out for yourself, no matter where you are on the education continuum.

The "i see" poster on the cover was made by Robyn Bryant who is a wellknown international artist living in Mawson Lakes. It is an educational game/aid for early learners that can be played in many ways. It is designed to help children with word and picture identification and is useful for creating awareness by searching for objects. As parents repeat the words, children learn sounds and develop their vocabulary. It can also be used to teach English to adults, as a memory game for children and as a counting exercise. It can be used in the home, in kindergartens and in waiting rooms.

Choosing a School Choosing the right school can be a decision fraught with anxiety. Here are five steps to guide you through the process.

1. Plan for transition The school decision-making process should begin long before you submit an enrolment application.

Don't leave it until the last minute.

2. Gather information You need to do some research to find the school that is right for you and your child. Start by looking at the internet. Another source of information is your local paper where schools advertise.

Most schools have websites so once you have a shortlist, look them up online. Talk to other people in the district about schools, and identify those with a good reputation. Find out why people like or dislike a particular school and weigh up the comments, but be careful here; some impressions may be out-of-date and a new order may now exist.

3. Size up the school With a shortlist of broadly defining characteristics in hand, such as location, costs, single sex or co-ed, comprehensive or selective, you are ready to do the footwork. Open Days and school tours will help you determine the ethos of the school, its networks, curriculum, extension and remedial programs, safety and security, parent involvement, support for working parents and sole parents. Ask lots of questions. Does the school have a trybefore-you-buy offer such as a day at the school, holiday sports camps, trial lessons... These events can help you and your child build rapport with staff and experience the school environment first-hand.

Try to differentiate one school from another by considering the benefits that will suit your child and your family's interests and values. Make an effort to find the correct emotional match. For example if your child loves the challenges of sport, choose a school that has good sporting facilities, places emphasis on inter-school competition and trophies.

If your child likes to talk, check out the debating club.

4. Look into policies, rules and costs Ask about policies such as codes of behaviour, canteen policies, homework and online learning.

Schools offer a wide range of scholarships and bursaries so ask about these, particularly if your child has a talent or gift in a particular area.

Scholarships are not only awarded to academically gifted students. There are many hidden costs in schools - public and private - so before signing up be sure to ask questions regarding the cost of uniforms, textbooks, excursions, transport, equipment, donation's to the school's foundation, other donations expected of you, as well as fees.

5. Check out communication channels Good communication between home and school is essential so see if the school's website is up-todate and has an area for parents. Read copies of past newsletters. How can parents contact staff?

Ask how the school reports a student's progress.

When you ring the school office rate the level of customer service. Is the tone friendly and helpful?

Do you pick up good vibes that the school has a caring, generous and embracing spirit? Does it appear to be organised?

Caitlin (13) and Mum, Karen, live in Mawson Lakes. Caitlin attends Endeavour College and is in Year 8 Caitlin: I’m excited to be at Endeavour! I really like the Peer Support Programme which links Year 8 students to the Year 11 students. It’s great as we all know there is support if we need it.

Karen (Mum): The school size (under 500) and being co-ed were winners for us. Being linked with UniSA Mawson Lakes Campus, provides a great experience and atmosphere for the students at Endeavour. The resources and facilities are second to none.

Living in Mawson Lakes, the location was also excellent.

Schools Around the World In France, students attend school from 8am to 4pm with a 2 hour lunch break.

They also do a half day on Saturday but have Sunday and Wednesday off.

Iranian boys and girls are educated separately.

Girls typically have female teachers, boys are taught by men. Religious study is required.

In Egypt, school is compulsory only until age 14. Education is free and class numbers average 75 students.

Australian school days are generally from 8.30am to 3.30pm, 5 days a week.

Parents choose from governmentfunded or independent, fee-paying schools.

American schools stagger their start and finish times to accommodate the bus service.

Elementary school from 7.30am2.30pm, Middle School and Junior High from 8.30am - 3.30pm. This means one bus driver can collect and drop off all children.

The school day in Brazil starts at 7am and finishes at noon so children can be home to share lunch with their families. It is considered the most important meal of the day.

Students in Russia remain together in the same class for their entire schooling. Year 10 is the last year of mandatory education.

The Finnish education system has no tuition fees and fully subsidises meals for students.

Many schools in Kenya provide lunch for students. Because of severe economic hardships, most students save all or part of their lunch to share with their families.

Japanese schools teach students moral education as a subject.

Moral education involves teaching students about health and safety, living a disciplined life, courtesy, understanding and confidence, manners, and environmental awareness.

Yutaro (15) from Japan who is staying in Mawson Lakes on a SA Government Schools Homestay Program, attends Charles Campbell College in Year 10 I love the diverse cultures at my school – I just fitted in straight away so I feel very happy here. Mawson Lakes is a very beautiful place to live.

The Mawson Centre - a learning and community hub When the Mawson Centre (MAWS) opened in 2005, right in the heart of Mawson Lakes, the civic centre won several architectural awards for its handsome and functional design.

Ten years on, the Mawson Centre operates as a learning, cultural and community hub and serves as a pivotal link between the town centre, the university, the local schools and the community.

The functional areas of the building offer banks of computers, a 250 seat lecture theatre, general teaching rooms, 2 community meeting rooms, executive offices for UniSA, a joint school and public library, an exhibition space, and a coffee shop and courtyard.

These encompass adult learning workshops (for example, English literacy, Toastmasters, art and computer classes), health and wellbeing activities (Tai Chi, dance and walking groups), and a variety of interest groups (for example, Garden Club, Over 50s Group, Girl Guides, Quilting Friends and the Photography Club).

You can download the calendar for events and courses at MAWS from the website at www.mawsoncentre.org or pick up a printed copy from the Mawson Centre which is located on the corner of Main Street and The Boulevard.

Phone 8302 5449.

MAWS is jointly owned by UniSA (64%), City of Salisbury (19%) and the Department of Education (18%). It is managed by a Board representing the owners. On the day-to-day basis, UniSA cares for and controls the facility.

Within the Mawson Centre, Salisbury Council operates the community library and it employs a part-time community development coordinator, Claudine Spinner, to run its community learning programs and events.

Hayden (14) Mawson Lakes resident attending St Paul's College, Year 9 The teachers are all really nice, helpful and encouraging. The facilities are amazing, we even have a full size laboratory, wood and metal workshops – I feel privileged to go to St Paul’s. I wake up excited every day to see what we are going to do at school!

Theresa, Mawson Lakes resident - one son at Mawson Lakes School and one at St Paul's College Theresa: The most significant consideration for me when choosing a school was what the school could offer my child. The facilities were very important to me and I was really impressed when I visited St Paul’s on their Open Day.

Supporting international Education Amrita is a 5-year-old who attends Parijat Academy, in the rural State of Assam, North-East India.

Established in 2003 Parijat Academy started with just 4 children in a small room with a pair of desks. It has now grown to a school of over 500 students. Children receive free, quality education and are encouraged to develop the positive qualities of loving, kindness, compassion and universal responsibility.

Friends of Parijat Academy, started by Lynette Kelly of the Mawson Lakes Living Team, is an effort to help the school raise the funds necessary to keep this noble grassroots movement alive.

Parijat uses the sponsorship funds to buy school furniture, pay teacher salaries, provide

school uniforms, textbooks and school bags, milk for the undernourished students, medical check-ups and medical treatment for children suffering from various conditions.

Through Mawson Lakes Living’s gift of sponsorship, Parijat will be able to provide Amrita with a brighter future. You too can get involved by supporting a child’s education for just $5 a month.

With no admin costs, 100% of your contribution directly supports the school. If you would like to sponsor a student at Parijat, please contact Lynette Kelly on 0438 513 960 or email lynette@ mawsonlakesliving.info

Gamification - a new way to learn Gamification is the application of digital games to learning and it is increasingly being used in professional training, schools and higher learning settings.

Online games are moving from just fun to more important roles in teaching content, monitoring learning progress and practicing skills. Improvements in virtual reality technology have fostered the growth of digital games, while mobile devices have made it easier for students to access them.

Advocates say that digital games promote curiosity, focus and the continuous processing of information. Teachers can capitalize on the benefits of co-play as well as helping to improve players’ social skills by encouraging play together, in small groups, or large classes. It also offers opportunity to develop emerging and traditional forms of literacy.

With minimal instructions, players are motivated to seek out information about how games work, including communicating with experts, watching or creating tutorials, or reviewing how-to texts (online or in print).

In the work environment, gamification develops skills in digital literacy and understanding how systems work. These skills will become increasingly important where jobs and responsibilities are regularly changing. Gaming requires spacial 28

Mawson Lakes Living : Issue 93 - March 2015

reasoning, maths and logic and this can be used in games to solve social issues and seek real world solutions to problems.

On the negative side, gamification may be overapplied, with teachers believing that simply applying “game rewards” (points, leveling, badges) will aid learning. Gaming, and especially video games, may prove addictive, which even in the context of education may prove harmful. And there have been long-held concerns with violence and gender and diversity issues.

While teachers report increased motivation and comprehension in schools that have adopted technology in their learning process, different schools have taken different appraoches.

Some have adopted the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy, encouraging students in upper Primary and High School to bring a tablet, an iPad or a laptop to school. Others provide the equipment to students on a loan basis or a payment instalment plan incorporated into tuition fees.

“Great teaching is about a person’s curiosity being awakened and about exploring possibilities.”

Building a career pathway A council-run traineeship program at the Polaris Centre in Mawson Lakes is training and supporting local youth to take their first steps towards a future career path.

Janet Wootton, Economic Development Project Officer, has been recognised with a leadership award for her role in mentoring a dozen residents over more than a decade.

These positions provide paid, hands-on experience and an opportunity to earn an income while studying for a nationally accredited Certificate in Business and Local Government.

"Trainees gain administrative skills, workforce experience and a qualification, all while earning an income. This provides a much-needed boost to morale and improves the employability of participants," said Janet.

Nearing the end of her 12 month position, Hayley

(pictured with Janet) was working at a gym and questioning her future direction when she applied for her current role at the Polaris Centre.

"I feel so grateful to have this experience and all the knowledge I have gained, as well as a qualification," said Hayley.

Last year's trainee, Talitha, is on her way to becoming a paralegal after completing her traineeship. She credits her experience at the Polaris Centre with helping her land her dream job as a rounds clerk at a law firm.

Susan and Ray live in Mawson Lakes. Their daughter Erin attends Mawson Lakes School Location is important but also we are happy with the reputation, and all the facilities are new. Erin went to the preschool on the same grounds and we were very happy with that.

Erin in Year 3 likes the play areas, the classrooms and teachers, her friends, and the buddy system at school. She is a 'big buddy' for the first time this year and is very proud of that.

Birth to Year 12 on one site New schools are increasingly offering education and care programs on one site that extend from the infant and toddler years to the end of secondary school.

Childcare educators, teachers, healthcare professionals, social work professionals and community workers can link together to support families.

There are several reasons for offering education in this way. Governments, including those in Australia, are realising that education begins at birth, not just from when children commence school at around 5 years.

Furthermore, it is convenient for families to bring their children to one site rather than two or more.

In the long term, education sites that include the infant to secondary school years build community capacity because they enable the development of networks that make well-functioning communities so important to the challenging task of raising children.

Co-location of such programs gives educators at all levels the opportunity to work together in a coordinated way to provide education for children until adulthood.

For further information contact the North Adelaide Regional Office of the Department of Education on 8256 8111

Transitions between childcare, preschool, primary and secondary school are likely to be smoother.

Associate Professor Victoria Whitington School of Education, University of South Australia

Families also benefit from the range of related health and community services that can be offered because of economies of scale in settings that cater for more children.

Mawson Lakes Living : Issue 93 - March 2015

Am I too sensitive?

This question is often posed to me by my clients. At the times when we feel like we are experiencing hurt or sadness and people around us don’t seem to understand the depth of our feelings, we can begin to question our own responses.

Am I too sensitive? Am I over–reacting? Should I just get on with it?

Every soul is born sensitive. That is, until we learn how to stop feeling the feelings. We become de-sensitised. As tiny babies we are conditioned to stop crying when we are hungry or uncomfortable.

We get rocked and fed, changed and rocked again, all in an effort to stop us from expressing any sound at all! "Good" babies are usually seen as the quiet ones, passive, compliant and easy to take anywhere because they won’t make a fuss.

As we grow up, we observe that the adults around us just don’t seem to be emotional beings. They have a seemingly inner strength and ability to not burst into floods of tears when painful things happen. Some adults however have turned off the switch to all of their feelings and don’t acknowledge that they have any emotion. It does, after all, take courage to be vulnerable and allow yourself to be seen as a feeling human being.

After having held down and suppressed all kinds of feelings and emotions, we can become desensitised to the upsets of life, until one day, like a volcano it all surges out in a spurt of illness, rage, "nervous breakdown" and very strong emotions.

Finally we get some attention!

Some people have the opposite response, they suppress everything and turn their feelings inward, that leads to depression and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.

When we see ourselves reacting to situations and having strong feelings and responses to certain deeds and actions, we can find ourselves asking, "is it just me that feels this way?"

As the emotional adult develops and grows they can become extremely vulnerable to the energies that are around them.

I mentioned to one of my clients recently that resensitisation is "like having severe sunburn, even a hug can feel painful." This is normal, and it is useful to recognise your new tenderness as a 'resensitisation'. Re-sensitising needs to occur when you are reconnecting with your heart and feelings again. We need, whilst we are re-discovering ourself, to keep ourselves safe from situations that are harsh; not from a place of fear and paranoia, but as a way of protecting our newborn life.

This re-connection with the original and vital emotional body will emerge gradually and gently, as the emotional adult develops and grows. This newness arrives as an awareness of energies and calm, not out of denial of our sensitivity but from a place of peace and acceptance that every feeling is valid.

Stay sensitive, it’s a wonderful human trait… So, no, you are not TOO sensitive.

Dining Review On the Plate RENNO SPICE RESTAURANT, Mawson Lakes In the streets of Mawson Lakes, hidden treasures can often be found. And that’s certainly the case with Renno Spice. Set back on Garden Terrace, lies a luxuriously decorated, traditional Szechuan style Chinese restaurant that caters for the whole family.

Their chef has over 10 years experience in creating authentic Northern Provincial food with variations to suit the local palate.

An extensive menu of traditional chinese dishes in an elegant and comfortable dining environment

With a fully stocked bar and traditional favourites such as Crispy Skin Duck and Szechuan Chilli Chicken, I spent some serious time pondering the ever-changing menu.

I chose to sample the Spring Rolls and a selection of Pork and Chicken with Prawn Dumplings as a starter. Local owner Mary, explained that the secret to their delicious taste was their traditional home-made preserved cabbage.

For something away from my usual staple of chicken and sweet-corn soup, I tried the Golden Soup and I’m glad I did. Succulent fish and Endoki mushrooms in a flavoursome golden broth.

Traditionally, this dish is enjoyed as much for its perceived wealth-attracting qualities as for its taste.

The sweet and sour and honey chicken dishes were delicious - succulent meat in a crispy batter smothered in a sticky sweet sauce with a smattering of vegetables on crispy noodles - just as I like it!

Finally, I tasted the Fish Fillet in Spicy Pouring Oil and what a surprise it was, just enough kick so the flavours harmonised beautifully with the rice.

This dish is a real treat - a giant bowl makes a dramatic entrance and the server ladles out and discards the flavour-imparting chillis at the table, leaving the succulent, melt-in-the-mouth fish.

This month’s wine takes its name from this event.

La Maschera means the mask.

The wine comes from the coastal maritime regions of the Limestone Coast in South Australia where the grapes sourced emulate the Northern Italian cooler climate - the home of Pinot Grigio.

The wine in colour is almost water clear with a tinge of green around the hue. Aromas of fresh pear and granny smith apple are followed by some citrus and a faint hint of honeysuckle, with a textured mouthfeel and fresh acidity to finish.

Nicoise Salad Salad nicoise is one of the the most famous of all salads. There are countless versions of this classic French summer salad, named after the city of Nice.

Its correct ingredients are often disputed, while even the way it is assembled can cause arguments.

However you serve it, Nicoise salad is a great dish for warm weather- hearty and satisfying yet light and oh so easy to throw together!

INGREDIENTS 400g tuna or salmon steak 800g waxy baby potatoes 300g green beans, trimmed 4 free-range eggs 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives Dressing 2 teaspoons dijon or wholegrain mustard 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil juice of one lemon 2 tablespoons capers roughly chopped 3 tablespoons fresh chopped dill Âź cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped METHOD 1. Cook potatoes and beans: Bring a mediumsize pot of water to the boil. Halve or quarter potatoes so they are all roughly the same size. Boil for 10 minutes until just tender.

Drop beans into boiling water with the potatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Drain potatoes and beans. Set aside.

Lesley Raymond

Brush the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill each side for only 2 to 2.5 minutes. The center should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry.

Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes while you prepare the eggs.

3.

Soft-boil eggs: place eggs in a small pot of cold water, bring to a boil and cook for exactly 4 minutes once the water starts to boil. Run eggs under cold water (to stop them cooking). Once cooled, peel off shells.

4.

Make the dressing: In a large bowl (big enough to hold the entire salad), whisk all dressing ingredients together and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Toss potatoes, beans, tomatoes, olives and red onion with the dressing.

5.

Assemble: To serve, divide the dressed salad between plates and top with flakes of cooked, still warm, tuna or salmon steak. Cut boiled eggs in half lengthways and place two halves on top of each plate.

Mawson Lakes Living : Issue 93 - March 2015

Movie Review The Theory of Everything In the 1960s, Cambridge University student and future physicist Stephen Hawking falls in love with fellow collegian Jane Wilde. At the age of 21 Hawking learns that he has motor neurone disease. Despite this - and with Jane at his side he begins an ambitious study of Time, of which he has very little left, according to his doctor.

He and Jane defy terrible odds and break new ground in the fields of medicine and science, achieving more than either could ever imagine.

This is an extraordinary story played by an extraordinary young actor (Eddie Redmayne).

Watching him slumped in a wheelchair, simulating the effects of motor neurone disease it's easy to forget he's an actor. And there's the voice. Hawking gave permission for Redmayne to use the synthesiser that he himself began to employ after a tracheotomy robbed him of his speech in the 1980s. But that comes much later.

Adapted from a memoir by Jane Wilde, Hawking's first wife, the story begins at university where Hawking is studying for his doctorate with no inkling of the diagnosis that is going to change his life.

A loving husband and father, Hawking is so excited by the intellectual revelations unfolding in his head that he fails to see the toll his rapidly developing disease is having on his 3 children and wife, and he and Jane gradually grow apart.

Redmayne and Felicity Jones, as Jane, display a poignant awareness of all they are losing.

While the script skimps on science, it points out the paradoxes in Hawking's personal and professional relationship with time. In a way, he's outwitted it by surviving the disease, which was supposed to kill him 50 years ago. Yet it taunts him with reminders of how it felt to move freely without pain.

This film is not depressive but a triumph. Don't miss it. Ed

New Signage Large durable blue "You Are Here" signs have been placed by Salisbury Council in locations around Mawson Lakes to help people find their way and to guide walkers along the Dry Creek River Trail.

The signs can be found along Dry Creek, in Mobara Park, Warehouse Lane, Parkdale Drive, The Strand and Garden Terrace.

The River Trail has a map showing 14 km of walkways from the hilly escarpment to the sea, and part of this traverses Mawson Lakes.

Along Dry Creek you will also see a series of interpretative signs prepared by the students of Mawson Lakes describing the history of the area and the plants and animals that live in and around Dry Creek. Ed

Kids Corner with Kirra and Sharna Paper Planes Paper Planes is an inspirational Australian family drama film set in outback Western Australia.

11-year-old Dylan is growing up motherless in the remote backcountry of Australia.

When his passion for flight and inventive spirit land him a hard-won spot in the regional Paper Plane Championships in Sydney, a dream is born.

The young boy contends with disapproval, bullying and a lack of funds to reach the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan.

Kirra, 12 years old "There are some good messages about bullying in this movie and it was a little bit sad sometimes but also great fun to watch"

Sharna, 8 years old "My favourite part was when he threw the plane and I thought it wasn't going to make it!"

Fashion Trends for 2015 Take a trip to the city to see the current fashion trends. I was in town last week and this is what I saw.

Bold floral clutches are a staple

The shelves are full of envelop clutch bags. A slim black or midnight blue is a staple of a wellequipped wardrobe but white for winter is also a fashion goer. In 2015 the clutch style features big, bold floral blooms, holographic prints that glisten as they catch the light and origami-style folds. Keep your evening wear subtle and let your bag do the posturing for you.

Team pale blue with Marsala

This year, jeans are getting an update with the boyfriend cut being swapped for high waisted flares or high-waisted straight legs as denim goes upmarket. Black leather drainpipes go to the back of the wardrobe, replaced with looser cuts, and look out for the comeback of the culotte.

Flat shoes are here to stay, but we’ve moved on from the penny loafers to a renewed cut following the Gucci horse-bit moccasin style, with the horse bit also appearing on boots, bags and belts.

Crisp white makes a big statement this winter but pale pink is apparently moving on... to pale blue.

Other pastel shades are lemon, soft greys and mint green. Pale blue is in many shop windows and designer collections so you’ll have to accept that it will be worn widely. You can undercut its inherent sweetness by wearing it with interesting pairings like olive, navy, purple or lemon. If you prefer something more earthy go for the fashion colour of the year, Marsala. See page 3.

High waisted flares and a tobacco suede jacket for winter

2015’s update on the pencil skirt is the wrap skirt in soft, slinky fabrics or gauzy chiffons. Skirts have gone ladylike so look for intelligent use of fabric folds that prevent you doing a "show all" when sitting down.

Speaking of folds, you’ll see lots of ruffles, sculptured frills and creative folds decorating many a torso this year.

Look out for horse-bit accessories this year

The black jacket has lost favour. Instead try a peachsoft tobacco suede or a blue unlined leather that looks as good as it feels. Happy shopping. Ed

Natural Healing for Dogs

by Nigella

When Jo Branson came to see me I just lay on my back, rolled over and enjoyed her gentle touch as she gave me a full body massage and checked out my body's muscles and bone structure.

Mummy invited Jo over to our house because Jo has just started a business in Mawson Lakes called Wags’n’Purr, where she goes into a dog’s home and identifies sore spots in the muscles and tendons and sets about relieving pain and tension.

If a dog is anxious or has behavioural problems, or has been injured or mistreated, Jo will work with the vet if applicable, using natural hands-on therapy to bring relief to the dog and repair scar tissue.

One of my friends, a labrador called Blacky is getting rather old and has arthritic shoulders, so Blacky’s owner took him to see Jo. After just a few sessions, Jo was able to relieve the tension in his shoulders and neck. Now dear Blacky sleeps more comfortably, walks more easily and has improved digestion and toiletting. It has made a big difference to his quality of life. He’s cheeky again!

M UN AN DE AG R N EM EW EN T

Jo said that there are 4 main muscles in a dog's neck and a tight lead can throw a dog’s neck out of alignment. “I find that many dogs suffer from neck and shoulder problems and they really benefit from therapeutic soft tissue massage,” she said.

Jo is undertaking a three year diploma at the National College of Traditional Medicine where

Jo Branson checks my skeleton and

the focus is all about dogs and how to improve their health and wellbeing through non-invasive treatment and good nutrition.

After a lot of checks and questions about my daily habits and health, Jo concluded that fortunately I don’t have any problem areas, but like most humans, I love a massage.

Mummy said I just closed my eyes and with a smile on my face, drifted in and out of sleep.

I felt great afterwards. Jo is so gentle and sweet.

What a relaxing treat. If this is natural therapy, I can really recommend it.

Pet Care with Jo Branson

Injuries from collar and lead pressure A tight collar or the pressure from a pull of the leash can cause neck injury, nerve damage or behavioural problems for your dog. Your dog’s neck, where the collar sits and where the pressure is felt, contains the trachea, oesophagus, thyroid gland, lymph nodes, jugular veins, spinal column and muscles integral for neck movement.

Neck injuries can result from just one hard pull from the leash, which can strain the integral muscles for neck movement. It can also result in bruising, whiplash, headache, crushed trachea or fractured vertebrae.

Pulling of the leash and the pressure of the collar can prohibit the nerves supplying the forelimbs. A dog may experience lameness in the foreleg or unusual sensations in the paws, resulting in excessive licking.

PR M IN LL TE R

A cushioned collar loose enough to fit 2 fingers underneath and a walking harness are less likely to cause injury. Also useful is behavioural training for your dog to reduce pulling when walking.

Neck muscle strain can be seen in a dog’s discomfort in maintaining normal posture. Your dog may be unwilling to move forward, resist sideways movement, or hold the head low or sideways to relieve pressure/pain. Discomfort or changes in your dog’s posture can be treated with remedial canine myofunctional massage.

Jo has a Diploma in Small Animal Naturopathy and Certificate in Canine Myofunctional Therapy, MA (Child Lit), DipPM, Hon (Lib and Info Man), BA (Communication).

Canine Myofunctional Therapy
