Bridging the Gap (BTG) project Bridging the Gap (BTG) is a project funded by the European Commission’s - Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP), Leonardo da Vinci (LdV), Tansfer of Innovation. The project's main aim is to transfer and adapt an innovative methodology of training and developing entrepreneurship, "The Bridge Model (TBM)”, from the UK to Spain, Greece, the Netherlands and Bulgaria. Thus, the TBM will be used and tested in new economic, and linguistic contexts. More specifically, the BTG Project will produce a training methodology and materials to enable business incubators, VET trainers and employment centres, to work alongside local entrepreneurs so they can engage also with marginalized/disadvantaged learners in order to empower them to develop the qualities, skills, experiences, attitudes necessary to initiate their own enterprises. The project will involve 6 organisations from different EU countries that have an expertise and experience in business incubation and VET training, as well as in working with target groups made up of hard to reach individuals – e,g, youth, migrants, disabled. The Bridge model (TBM) The overall objective is to bolster participants’ enterprises and entrepreneurial competencies and aspirations through on-going support from individuals who have taken the same journey.

Friday 2nd February 2018 Dear Parents/Carers, We are delighted that Mr Duncan is feeling much better and has returned to school. He has asked me to thank staff for covering his lessons and a particular thanks to Mrs Yon for organising all the cover. Year 11 Year 11 students have finally completed their mock exams and are now eagerly awaiting their results. However, just because mocks are finished it doesn’t mean they can take their foot off the gas; revision should still be taking place every night – the ‘real’ exams are not far away. Today year 11 have been given the following information: Coursework and practical exam deadlines/dates (Jan-April ’18) Summary of exam dates for the written tests (May-June ’18) Exam question papers for the Art exam along with an outline of the approach to the Art exam. They have been advised to keep their notes in a red folder and they must have them at all times. We would ask that parents become familiar with this important information. Mrs Yon Homework in senior school Seniors have been reminded in an assembly this week to keep on task with homework and have been asked to catch up with work missed as a result of absence. A lunchtime support session is now being offered for students who have found homework an issue. This is in addition to existing study support sessions during the day for KS3. Please encourage your child to use the Time Management schedule which was issued earlier this term. Homework diaries May I remind parents that secondary pupils’ homework diaries should be checked and signed by parents each week. Letters home We do try to send any correspondence home on a Friday so that parents know this is the day to check for school mail. May I remind secondary pupils’ parents to check for letters. We have lockers which seem to be full of mail which has not made it home and some of these have reply slips which need to be returned.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back to St. Mark School, from what was hopefully a very restful and joyous Christmas holiday. Looking back to our weeks before the Christmas Break, I would like to sincerely thank all staff & students for their hard work, dedication and commitment to making our Advent Liturgies, Advent Mass, Christmas Concert and musical performances so special and memorable. As we embark on a New Year, we can certainly consider and reflect on the many possibilities and goals we can set for 2018. I encourage everyone to set reasonable and achievable goals [both short-term and long-term] for themselves for this year. Sometimes it helps to write down these goals and consider various strategies and timelines for achieving them. Remember, when you set your mind to something and mix in some real effort and courage, you will be successful. Please take a moment to note on your calendar the important dates that appear on the January 2018 Calendar (left margin) as well as those important dates and information that appear on the various inserts in the School Newsletter. Once again, welcome back and best wishes for a year filled with many joys and successes. Sincerely, Mr. Lankowski Principal SAFE ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL
6 cooking apples, washed and cored 1/2 cup orange juice 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Topping: 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup margarine Slice apples and arrange in an 8 x 8-inch pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Combine juice, sugar, and cinnamon and pour over apples. Combine flour and sugar and cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Serves 8. Variations: • Add 1/4 cup oatmeal to the topping in place of 1/4 cup flour for crunch and fiber. • Instead of apples, try seasonal fruit, such as pears or peaches. Health Hint • The crust for a serving of a two-crust pie, like apple pie, contains 241 calories and 15 grams of fat. Making a crisp and eliminating the crust saves 171 calories and 7 grams of fat. These figures do not include the filling. Shopping Tip • Cooking apples are red, yellow, or green apples that hold their shape when cooked. Examples of cooking apples are Pippins, Golden Delicious, and Rome Beauty. This newsletter will be updated and distributed monthly locally to our people and our neighboring communities. I am encouraging that if there is anything you would like to add in the newsletter please feel free to contact me through via email or phone. You can also put your comments on the tribal website.

From President Hilary Grant A for the Zonta Club of Charters Towers was acknowledging White Ribbon Day on November 25. A breakfast well supported by community leaders, service clubs and schools was held at Henry’s. Guest speakers-Elvene Whitbread (Charters Towers Neighbourhood Centre), Sonya Box (Life Without Barriers), Senior Sergeant Graham Lohmann (Charters Towers Police) and Cr Frank Beveridge (Mayor, Charters Towers Regional Council) spoke of the nature of domestic violence and the ongoing problems the victims face in their lives. Senior Sergeant Lohmann said there had been a sharp increase in domestic violence cases in Charters Towers in recent years. Up to November 2015, police had prosecuted 81 breaches of domestic violence orders, up from 70 in 2014. White Ribbon Day originated in Canada in 1991 and is now active in more than 60 countries. It is the world’s largest male-led movement to end violence against women. Our thanks to Zontian Corral Clarke for all her efforts in organizing such a successful morning. WHITE RIBBON - Vision: All women live in safety free from all forms of men’s violence Mission: Making safety a man’s issue too… Overseas Projects The Zonta International Foundation funds the projects and programs of Zonta International. Zonta clubs usually donate one-third of the money they raise to the Zonta International Foundation, utilizing the remaining two-thirds in local projects and programs in line with Zonta’s mission and vision. US $5.1 million will be spent during 2014-16. Every contribution is critical to empower women and girls worldwide. Current International Service Funds supported by Charters Towers include Eliminating Obstetric Fistula in Liberia US $600,000 and Delaying Early Marriage in Niger US$1,000,000 In Liberia funds are used to equip hospitals to treat and repair obstetric fistula and to train health care providers in fistula management. The health and socio economic status of more than 400 women and girls will be improved through surgery and non surgical procedures. Increased knowledge and awareness of obstetric fistula in targeted communities will contribute to a 25% reduction in the incidence of the condition. Niger has the highest child marriage prevalence in the world with 76% of girls married by the age of 18 and 36% by the age of 15. A high proportion of school age girls are not in school and the vast majority of adolescent girls are illiterate.
NSQA Newsletter April 2018 National Saleyards Quality Assurance Inc. IAN A0050263X ABN 76 657 458 542 Postal address: 518 Bamganie Road, MEREDITH, VIC., 3333 Phone: 0422 312 607 E-mail: .au President: Ian O’Loan OAM Executive Officer: Mark McDonald President’s Report You will have received an earlier email to members regarding the NSQA Executive Officer. The board welcomes Mark McDonald to the role. With his industry experience Mark has come in with his feet on the ground. The changes foreseen in the past are now coming to fruition with newsletters electronic and the website becoming more user friendly. Animal Welfare is an ongoing at saleyards, closely monitored by activist organisations. Under NSQA code of practice animals classified as “not fit to load” are not able to be presented for sale. It is the duty of receiving staff not to accept these animals or if requiring destruction to remove them to areas with no public access as soon as possible. Producers should be better educated re transport of these animals along with the transporters. I am aware a lot of these instances occur with small producers who don’t have on property contact with livestock agents, education is difficult, but the only way NSQA yards can uphold their standard is by not accepting animals not fit for sale. For saleyards not yet accredited to the current revised national standards (2017) the “No Name Saleyards Manual” will be updated shortly to include the new revised standards. A familiarisation presentation has been prepared to assist both accredited and yards moving to accreditation, this pilot will be presented at forthcoming ALMA mangers meeting.

It was not an easy task to reproduce those sounds, with a lot of trial-and-error experiences until the exact sound would be made for the situation in the play. For each successful sound there were multiple failures along the way. But the end result was phenomenal. Read comments about the show below:! Some comments on the performance: “As I had not heard of “Shackleton” I found the play educational and amazingly inspiring. The Foley artists were highly impressive.” - A.W. Lethbridge. “We enjoyed Shackleton, the radio play, very much. The actors were fully engrossed in their rôles. We could feel the hardship that they must have had to go through, just by listening. The Foley sounds were very convincing.“ - C.B. & J.B. Calgary “An original idea, executed wonderfully and told in immense detail. It is amazing to see the Foley and story come together on stage.” - SMK Calgary ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Time for a laugh: Some interesting quotes from Sam Goldwyn, film producer. “A Hospital is no place to be sick.” “I’m willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.” “A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.” “If I could drop dead right now, I’d be the happiest man alive.” “Any man who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined.” ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Our Seniors Group entertains: In the evening of Saturday, March 10th our group of actors and actresses drove north to Carstairs to perform in the Carstairs Community Hall. Admission was free. Some photographs from our March 10th 2018, “Vignettes of the Golden Years” performance

He leaned towards Kreisler for help and whispered, “Where are we?” Kreisler replied, “Carnegie Hall.” . ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` And to finish, a few unintentionally funny, church notices: Miss Charlene Mason sang, “I will not pass this way again”, giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.

“Global Engagement in Victorian Schools: Ready for life, ready for work”. It was a great honour to speak with so many hard-working school leaders about the importance of internationalising our education system. The future is global and we need to do all that we can to prepare our young learners for this reality. Embedding a global outlook in all our students will increase their learning outcomes and chances of getting a job and build social cohesion in one of the most multicultural societies on earth. There are three megatrends that commentators and organisations like the generally agree will have implications for school-aged education: rapid technological change, the changing nature of work, and increasing globalisation. Schools play a pivotal role in helping our young people adapt to these changes, and preparing our students for a future that we cannot yet predict nor comprehend. While we can’t know what the jobs of the future will be, we do know that those jobs will be more global than ever before. Fortunately, Education State has recognised this by embedding global learning into Victoria’s education framework. Whether it is through developing global citizenship, a key dimension of , or building languages and intercultural capabilities, both compulsory elements of the , global learning is central to the aspirations of Education State to "equip all students with the personal and practical skills to live the lives they want to live, and get the jobs they need". One of our roles as educators is to help our students to see themselves as confident, capable, global citizens. I look forward to continuing to work with you all to internationalise the Victorian education system and provide every Victorian student with the skills they will need to succeed in a future that is more interconnected than ever before.

The Aconbury Centre Spring Term Newsletter 2016 To begin with may we offer many congratulations to Mr Warley on the birth of his beautiful son, Noah. Thank you to Mr. Paul Barnes from St. Davids Centre and Dame Oremi Evans from The Brookfield School for helping us out during his paternity leave. Our Students have enjoyed a rich and varied curriculum, with various extra Art activities and the chance to work with Joelle Taylor from the Ledbury Poetry Society Although the Head of Centre, Mrs Dixon has been unwell; she is now making progress and we hope she will be visiting us soon. Themes and Values Our themes for the Spring term were, Tolerance Cooperation Honesty Courage News and events During this term we have said farewell to our temporary teacher Mr Lloyd, who has secured a full time position nearer his home in Wales. Mrs Alderdice has joined us to teach humanities and hopefully some music in the future. Curriculum – English: Poetry with Joelle Taylor We were very fortunate to secure funding from the Ledbury Poetry Festival this year, which enabled us to have a visiting poet for three mornings. Joelle Taylor is a professional spoken word artist, published poet and playwright, as well as the founder and Artistic Director of SLAMbassadors UK, the national youth slam championships administered by the Poetry Society. She came into English lessons to perform her work and show students how to develop and shape their own poetry. The work that the sessions produced was amazing and, all students should be very proud of what they achieved. Ledbury Poetry Society have also agreed to fund a publication of the students best work and to provide a copy of the book for each student involved. Watch this space for details of our up-coming book launch! Herefordshire Hoardings Project You may have noticed the colourful Hoardings in Widemarsh Street, if not they are well worth a look. Ours is just outside
the side entrance to the Merton Meadows Car Park, just up from Wicks. We are very of all the students who took part in this project, from the planning to the finished work. Well Done Everyone. Schools Expo 2016 Once again we are proud to be able to tell you that many of our students had artwork exhibited in the Annual Schools Art Exhibition held at The Hereford College of Arts, Folly Lane, Hereford in January and February. The Opening and Private View were well attended and we received many compliments and praise for the high standard of our student’s work. We were really pleased that several students and parents or carers attended and were able to see their work displayed. It is a real achievement to have work in this exhibition and all those involved should be very proud of themselves. All our students were taken to visit the exhibition during school time.

FEBRUARY, 2018 MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 5 Pastor Gail’s Day Off 6 7 8 9 In Isaiah it is the one God who sits above the earth and numbers the stars – it is that God who strengthens the powerless. So in Jesus’ healing work we see the hand of the creator God, lifting up the sick woman to health and service (diakonia). Like Simon’s mother-in-law, we are lifted up to health and diakonia. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our strength in quiet times of prayer. 10 Lasagna/ Spaghetti Church Dinner Preparation for tomorrow’s dinner Pastor Gail’s Day Off 13 8:30 AM Counting Committee 12:45 PM Ladies’ Business Meeting 1:00 PM Ladies’ Bible Study 14 6:00 PM Ash Wednesday Communion Service @ St. Stephen Deacons: Dale Pilgrim Clarence Werner Projector: Sherry 15 Quilting St. Stephen Musical Ministries @ Golden Living Center-Three Oaks, Marshfield 16 17 E.P.I.C.
