A great story can change the way people think about the world around them. Wakakirri is a performing arts festival where schools aim to do just that. Each year hundreds of schools
across Australia create Story-Dances for Wakakirri that reflect student’s thoughts, ideas and aspirations. These stories are performed in professional theatres in front of the official ‘Wakakirri Panel’ who are searching for ‘Story of the Year’. A Wakakirri Story Dance is a 3-7 minute performance by a group of students who theatrically tell a story using a combination of dancing, creative movement and acting to pre-recorded music. Wakakirri is for every School in Australia and has categories for all levels of experience. Every school can enter. The aim of Wakakirri is to teach students about themselves and others
through the creating and sharing of stories and by this process develop students’ educational outcomes, lifestyle choices and community awareness. Established in 1992, Wakakirri is Australia’s largest Performing Arts Event for schools, involving over 20,000 students across every State and Territory. Over 1 million people watch Wakakirri performances each year. Visit wsec.com.au for more details. For more information visit whatsoninwollongong.com.au

pasta carbonara You’re sure to find a new family favourite with this ultimate pasta carbonara recipe.

METHOD Step 1 Heat oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook for 10 minutes until it starts to crisp.
www.homesguide.com.au
Step 2 Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain. Step 3 Lightly whisk eggs and cream in a bowl. Step 4 Add the butter and parsley to pancetta, then add pasta and cheeses and toss well to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the cream mixture. Toss gently to combine – the pasta’s heat will cook the egg slightly and form a creamy sauce. Season, then serve with extra parmesan and parsley. Source: www.taste.com.au

how to build a magazine rack Create the rack that will keep all your magazines in place. You can put this simple project together in an afternoon. WHAT YOU’LL NEED: • 64mm x 19mm pine • 42mm x 19mm pine • Measuring tape • Pencil • Combination square • 30mm timber screws • 50mm screws • Power Drill • Drill Bit • Hammer drill (optional) • Masonry bit (optional) • Wall plugs (optional) • Timber Filler • Sandpaper • Spirit Level • Nylon wall anchors (optional) • Acrylic paint • Paint brush STEP 1: CUT TIMBER Mark up and cut your timber. You’ll need two 650mm vertical pieces and four 530mm horizontal lengths of the 64mm x 19mm pine, plus two 400mm lengths of the 42mm x 19mm pine to use as internal “packers” that the magazines will rest on. STEP 2: SAND EDGES Round off the sharp edges of the timber with sandpaper. STEP 3: SECURE THE VERTICALS TO THE WALL Using a spirit level to make sure your verticals are perfectly straight, secure both pieces to your wall 400mm apart using 50mm screws. Handy Hint If you’re screwing into plaster board, drill guide holes where the screws will go and then use a screwdriver to screw
nylon wall anchors. This will increase the wall’s capacity to handle the load of the shelf. If you’re screwing into masonry, you’ll need a hammer drill and masonry bit to drill the hole and a set of walls plugs for the screws to go into. STEP 4: ATTACH THE HORIZONTAL PIECES – PART ONE Start by securing the internal “packers” to the wall using 50mm screws. The first should be flush with the base of the verticals, the second starting about 400mm up (depending on the height of your magazines). STEP 5: ATTACH THE HORIZONTAL PIECES – PART TWO Once the internal “packers” are in place, secure the 530mm horizontal lengths over the top using 30mm timber screws. STEP 6: ATTACH THE HORIZONTAL PIECES – PART THREE Place the two top rails in place so that the magazines are properly held. Handy Hint Make sure that you don’t drive the screws in too hard – it could split the timber. First, drill guide holes. Then drive the screws in. Make sure they go in far enough that they countersink below the surface leaving a shallow divot in the timber. STEP 7: FILL THE HOLES OVER THE SCREWS Take a small daub of timber filler to cover over the screws. Use a putty knife or paint scraper to smooth the filler out, keeping it level with the timber surface. STEP 8: SAND THE FILLER FLAT Once the timber filler has dried, sand it so that you have a totally flat surface. STEP 9: PAINT THE MAGAZINE RACK Paint the rack using an acrylic paint. Handy Hint If you use the same colour you used to paint the wall, the rack will be less visually obvious in the room.
