Back to School for 2016

Back to it! Tyler, Ella and Koby. Images supplied.

Tyler (9) and Ella (7) have just begun a new and exciting adventure at Leonay Public School. With Tyler starting Year 4 and Ella entering into Year 2, they started their day bright and early and jumping with excitement. They just could not wait for the first day of school.

Dressed in their brand new school uniforms and school bags in tow, both Tyler and Ella had been counting down the days to their first day at their new school. Upon arriving on the first day they both felt the nerves kick in, however due to the endless support both Tyler and Ella received the nerves slowly slipped away.

Both Tyler and Ella met new friends, met their new teachers – who “are the best teachers in the entire world” and had what they would say was “the best first day of school ever”.

Changing schools is never easy but they both have embraced every element of change and have started their 2016 school year with a bang.

Younger brother Koby (4) also had an exciting first day at ‘Adventure Preschool’, where he too made new friends and got to play both inside and outside. After having such an exciting first day, he was so excited to go back again the next day.

Tyler, Ella and Koby have all started the year with great excitement and happiness and look forward to a great 2016 school year in Leonay and Emu Plains.

Service Times: Sundays @ 8:00am, 9:30am and 6:30pm Plus activities for adults and young people throughout the week

Not everyone wants to be Prime Minister, or don the baggy green cap. But in our own way, we each want to do well for ourselves, we each want to fi nd our own greatness. Some people look for it in what they accomplish, others in what they earn, others still in how their friends and neighbours view them.

Jesus’ disciples knew it – hey they were no diff erent! So when they heard Jesus talking about God’s kingdom - that he was the king - they asked him how they could get in on the action, how they could be great. What he said challenged everything they held dear, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’ (Matthew 18:3).

Huh, what can they show about greatness? Little children don’t have anything they can off er people. In fact, they rely on the adults in their lives to provide for them. They come with empty hands. They have to accept what’s done for them rather than proudly boast of what they’ve done.

But that’s Jesus’ point. True greatness isn’t something we can earn. It’s accepting we depend on God. It’s the opposite of pride. Greatness is trusting Jesus and His great work. It’s relying on that fi rst Easter rather than anything we have done. Greatness is being humble before God and saying, ‘nothing in my hands I bring, simply to your cross I cling’.

That’s a relief really, because the things we so quickly rely on for security and power and greatness are at the same time

our insecurities - the quicksand under our feet. ‘Will I have accomplished enough? Will I get enough stuff ? Will I know the right people to get me through when I’m in a bind?’ Jesus off ers a whole new way to look at life – and so with it, a whole new life! Have you found greatness?

PCS Does CSI: Investigating the World of Forensics

Penrith Christian School students in Years 8, 9 and 10 were immersed in crime scene investigation last month. Education Interactive ran an exciting hands-on program, giving students the chance to explore the fascinating world of Forensic Science by becoming investigators and solving a crime.

“This was way better than watching it on TV!” said one student, “We got to see how it really happens.”

Students investigated the case of a school girl found dead in a Sydney national park, their goal to work out how she got there and why she died. The case highlighted for the students the importance of cyber safety and the risks of drink spiking in everyday situations.

The interactive sessions provided students with the opportunity to sift through evidence, such as fi ngerprints, digital microscopy, toxicology, DNA profi ling, autopsy, fi bres and much more.

“This workshop was such a great way for students to really understand the science behind investigations”, said Science teacher Denise Bailey. “Rather than watching it from afar, they were involved in the investigation, relying on their scientifi c skills to solve the case.”

Home Water Safety

WATER SAFETY – NEPEAN AQUATIC CENTRE AND EVA BORYS SWIM SCHOOL

Water is an integral part of the great Australian lifestyle, and with the prevalence of home swimming pools, it is very important that water safety is a priority at all times. Australian experts say that children need constant supervision when they're in, on, or around any water, that pool gates must be self closing and well maintained, and that all children should Learn To Swim from an early age. But how early should a child start swimming lessons?

It is recommended that children start swimming lessons from 6 months, but you can practice early water familiarisation before starting formal lessons. Make sure your baby has regular baths and showers, and becomes accustomed to and comfortable with the sensation of water being trickled and then poured over their head, from a very young age.

Babies are not born with a fear of the water, instead this fear is acquired as the child grows, so a 6 month old will accept the water more readily than an older child. In addition to safety, there are strong benefi ts to introducing babies to the water early, including the development of gross motor skills, and improved strength, co-ordination and balance, as baby is supported by the water and less restricted by gravity.

Warm water combined with gentle exercise relaxes and stimulates baby's appetites, with many parents reporting that their babies usually eat and sleep better after swimming. Additionally, the uninterrupted quality time whilst swimming facilitates an even deeper bond between parent and child.

It is also important to remember that swimming pools are not the only hazard in the home. Home pools and spas are obvious drowning hazards, but there are many other items and areas which present a signifi cant drowning threat to young children in and around the home, such as buckets, bathtubs, eskies, fountains, fi shponds, lakes, drains, infl atable pools, and even pet bowls. It is crucial that these are emptied, covered, put away and not left where they can fi ll up with water.

Only by applying this many layered approach can we keep our children safer around water.

PARENTS CORNER

When parents give their children negative emotional messages that focus on who the child is rather than his or her behaviour, they unwittingly dig a pit of shame so deep and so wide, it may take the child a lifetime to climb out of it.

“You do it deliberately to annoy me”“I’m going to ring grandma to tell her how awful you are”“You are as stupid as your father”“Go ahead and try it, you’ll just fail like you always do”“Why are you so clumsy?”“I’m so angry with you I can’t stand the sight of you”Negative and emotional messages that attack a child’s sense

of self and what she can do, leave their mark and can lead to mental health problems into adolescence and adulthood.

When parents approach a child’s mistaken behaviour at the level of the behaviour, they say things like…

“I’m really disappointed that you kicked the ball at the laundry window, especially as I warned you about it fi ve minutes ago.”

“What might have been a better choice?”“When you and your brother argue, I feel so frustrated.”A little bit of guilt is healthy and adaptive. Children learn what

is acceptable behaviour when parents focus on communicating what they didn’t like about the behaviour and how the child might do better next time. Prolonged ranting, raving, lecturing, and anger cause excessive guilt which induces shame.

One of my colleagues saw an interaction between a parent and a child the other day. The mother screamed at him “how many times do I have to tell you not to do that” and she walked away from him. The little boy, no older than 3, put his head down and banged his head with both fi sts. He then went and sat behind a park bench and cried.

Was he feeling shame or guilt do you think? Is he learning that he can’t rely on the adults in his life to help organise his thoughts and feelings, and more importantly his behaviours?

Penrith Christian School is this year celebrating 35 years of operation as a Christian school serving the Penrith region.

The School commenced as a ministry of what was then the Penrith Christian Fellowship Centre and was located in Dean Place before moving to a rural site in the Londonderry area in 1983-1984.

In 1985 the School was relocated to its current site on the junction of the Northern Road and the M4 Motorway; the church building having been completed in 1984.

Since then, Penrith Christian School has grown steadily as parents, seeking a Christian education for their children, have continued to support the school. In the early days the buildings were built with the aid of volunteers, and much growth in the School’s facilities is attributed to the commitment and the service of those early pioneers.

By the mid-90s the existing Library (now called the iCentre), and associated technology blocks, were completed as the School moved into secondary education and expansion to two streams.

The School continues to be a vital part of the ministry of ImagineNations Church; and, over the years has introduced additional classes in the secondary years, as well as Early Childhood Services, off ering Preschool and Preparatory School programs for 3 and 4 year-olds.

Throughout the years PCS has never lost sight of the vision and goal of the founders who wanted to provide an education for our children that acknowledged the centrality of the Christian worldview in all areas of the curriculum; developing students in the academic, social, physical and spiritual domains.

These days we have moved well and truly into the 21st Century with a technology-rich environment, and diverse learning experiences across a wide range of subjects and interest areas. We are thankful to God, and to our founders and supporters, for the wonderful years of assisting families in bringing up their children to know the grace and love of our Lord, and to be active in expressing that through service in our local, national and global communities.

WHAT’S COOKING International Folk Dancing, Come One, Come All

Folk dancing is a community-oriented activity, originating in village settings where socialising was integral to the dance experience. Two international folk dance groups, where dances from all around the world are taught, operate in this local area.

No partner is required, since most dances are danced in a circle formation. Another ‘plus’ is the variety of fabulous music accompanying each dance, whether it is fl owing Armenian music or the pulsating rhythms of Bulgaria.

Leonay resident Jeanette Mollenhauer is the current President of Folk Dance Australia, a member of the International Council for Traditional Music, and has taught folk dancing (in schools, universities, community groups, and retirement villages) for fourteen years.

Each session begins with gentle dances, most of which move at a walking pace, and which novice dancers are able to quickly master. When more complex dances are taught, the laid-back atmosphere and camaraderie amongst the dancers allows for relaxed learning.

Penrith Older Women’s Network Dance Group. Senior Citizens Centre Station St Penrith. Wednesdays 9:45–10:45am. Cost $7.

Blue Labyrinth World Dancers. St Finbar’s Church Hall, Levy St Glenbrook. Thursdays 7:30-9:00 pm. Cost $7.

Both groups operate in school terms only. The fi rst class is always free and beginners are welcome at any time of the year. All you need is comfortable clothes and closed shoes which lace or buckle up.

For more information, phone Jeanette on 4735 5043 or 0416 156 335.

Pars Defect Pain – Rest is Not the Only Answer

The ‘pars interarticularis’ (part of the vertebral arch) is one of two (left or right) bony bridges that connect the upper with the lower facet joints in a vertebra. A pars defect (spondylolysis) is a break or weakness (see diagram) in one or both of these bridges. It can be due to:

1. a congenital abnormality (present at birth) called an ‘attenuated pars’, or

2. a stress fracture. The main vertebrae aff ected are L5 (85 - 95%), and L4 (5 – 15%),

but rarely higher lumbar vertebrae. It can be diagnosed by plain X-ray, CT or MRI. 50 - 81% of people with spondylolysis end up with the bilateral fractures of the pars interarticularis, resulting in forward slippage (spondylolisthesis) of the vertebra.

Most pars defects are asymptomatic, but some present as lower back pain. Typically when the patient stands on one leg and leans backwards, pain results. When the defect is on one side only, standing on the opposite leg elicits the pain (Syrmou 2010). Pain typically gets worse with sports and better with rest (Harris nd)

About 6% of the general population have a pars defect (Syrmou 2010). However the injury is more common in adolescents participating in high risk sports (gymnastics, diving, weight lifting, wrestling, rowing, fi gure skating, dancing, volleyball, soccer, tennis). Up to 30.4% experience lower back pain (Malanga 2015) often due to a pars defect (McTimoney & Micheli 2003).

No optimal treatment plan exists in the literature, pain relief medications may be used but nonsteroidal anti-infl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should be avoided as they slow down the bone growth and healing (Syrmou 2010). Some authors (Harris nd) state that ‘only rest’ can heal a pars defect, with acupuncture and massage having no benefi t. This is incorrect.

Rest is vital, however stiff lower back muscles increase the forces on the vertebrae to which they are attached and so the likelihood of re-injury. Infl ammation reduces the ability of tissue to heal. Muscle elongation therapy uses both dry needling techniques and specifi c muscle elongation techniques to address both these issues, and (along with rest) helps many cases of long standing back pain associated with pars defects to heal very nicely.

If you have unresolved pars-defect related back pain, why not come talk to us at BHW - see our ad for contact details.

I’ve personally developed this technique after 16yrs experience:

“After years of severe back pain I’m now enjoying golf, fully pain free and even started brick-laying again!” – John Hasler, Glenmore Park

“I’d given up really - I’d tried so many things. In just a couple of sessions the pain and muscle spasms had gone. I recommend your

work to anyone.” – Craig Gibson, Richmond

Work & play like you used to after just a few sessions!

It works well for shoulders & knees too.

HEALTH MATTERS Emu Plains Lions AFL Season Launch 2016

Emu Plains/Glenmore Park “Lions” Junior AFL Club are about to launch their 2016 season with an exciting evening planned to kick things off and everyone is invited.

An exciting night has been planned at Dukes Oval on Friday 18th March 2016 at

6:30pm with jumping castles and Giant Fan Zone. There is also an opportunity to meet GMAN, Larry the Lion and some of the GWS players.

Formal events will also take place on the night where the sponsors will present the players with their 2016 Guernseys. Other awards and prizes will also be handed out.

Emu Plains/ Glenmore Park “Lions” Junior AFL Club work hard to ensure that one of the club’s core values of giving back to the community is achieved. To honour this, the club will present a Volkswagen Caddy Van that was purchased with money raised at their very successful Sportsman’s Day Lunch to the Ronald McDonald Nepean Family Room.

The Ronald McDonald Nepean Family Room provides a “supportive and nurturing environment for families of babies being treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Nepean Hospital” and both the players and families are exceedingly proud and honoured to present this car to this fantastic cause.

COUNSELLING CORNER

Easter and Grief – The Season of Loss and RenewalEaster is celebrated all over the world by chocolate eggs and

bunnies. For Christians the focus is on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and living in peace and love.

For many people it’s all about family, Easter egg hunts, attending church and having fun but not this year. This year someone is missing and you don’t feel like joining in celebrations.

The reality is that what you are feeling right now is your “new normal”. You probably haven’t had someone die before so, like everything that is new, it's important to learn how to grieve in your own, unique way this Easter.

You might not feel like getting out of bed but you have children who want to celebrate Easter, the way they always have. This year do it diff erent. A way of doing this is to start sharing happy memories of your loved one.

Sharing these memories help to fi ll the empty space left by your loved one and to keep their memory alive.

Memories can be shared by:• Sitting around the table and telling stories• Flipping through scrapbooks/photos• Writing poetry • Drawing pictures and sharing their meaning• Showing movies of them• Making things for them• Writing letters to themDo whatever feels right for you. Your children might have some ideas (they usually

do).My wish is that you make Easter happy for you and your family.

Happy Easter!Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time

We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolate...lots and lots of delicious chocolate! Easter is a great time for the human members of the family, but the infamous Easter egg hunt can end in tragedy for our four legged friends. Chocolate contains theobromine and caff eine, which when ingested by a

dog or cat, causes vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, increased heart rate, restlessness, muscle twitching, increased urination, excessive panting and if left untreated can be rapidly fatal.

If your dog does accidentally eat some chocolate it is vitally important that they are seen within 30 minutes to an hour by your local veterinarian. The veterinarian will give an injection to make your pet vomit, which removes most of the toxins from the body. Sometimes, your pet will be hospitalised, where intravenous fl uids may be used, an enema or stomach pump may be required, and we may also need to use muscles relaxants and activated charcoal.

There are a few simple precautions you can take to ensure

that your pet has a safe Easter:

• Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet.

• Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolate.• Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets.

Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kid’s schoolbags!

• Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around.

Colouring In Competition

In the spirit of Easter what better way to brighten up the veterinary hospital, than to host a colouring in competition. All entries will be displayed on the walls of the veterinary hospital.

You can download the entry form from our website www.orchardhillsvet.com.au, Facebook page or pop into the veterinary hospital and pick up a copy.

Post your entries to Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, 377 Wentworth Road, Orchard Hills, NSW 2748, or drop them in at the veterinary hospital.

All entries must be received by 9am on Tuesday 29th March 2016. Please ensure your full contact details (name, address, phone number, email) are on the back of the entry form or envelope.

Winners will be drawn and notifi ed at 10am on Tuesday 29th March 2016.

Check out our website for more information. www.orchardhillsvet.com.au or join us on Facebook.

We look forward to meeting you and your pets at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, and please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team.

For more information check out our Facebook, website www.orchardhillsvet.com.au or call 02 4736 2027.

The Value of AdviceIn 2015 for the fi rst time ever Mortgage Brokers originated 50% of all new Home Loans.

Since that time this fi gure has continued to grow to over 60%.So why have Mortgage Brokers grown in popularity to the point that they’re beating the

Banks at their own game?It is true that Mortgage Brokers are required to have minimum education levels and

are required to maintain their knowledge every year whereas Bank employees have no minimum standards.

It is also true that Mortgage Brokers have access to hundreds of home loans with diff erent features and diff erent approval criteria and can quickly and easily compare them to fi nd you the right loan at a great interest rate.

It is also a little known fact that top tier Mortgage Brokers have access exclusive “Better than the Branch” pricing, priority loan processing and the ability to order property valuations prior to loan submission. Something else the Banks can’t do.

All great reasons to use a Mortgage Broker but I think the real reason Mortgage Brokers are so popular comes down to one word. Advice.You see Mortgage Brokers works for you. Unlike banks they don’t try to shoehorn you into one of 4 or 5 products, instead they use their

skill and knowledge to structure your fi nances in a manner that suits you.Choosing the right home loan is more than fi nding the lowest rate. It’s about fi nding the right Home Loan that matches your current

needs, your lifestyle, your fi nancial habits and your future goals.You’re not just looking for a Home Loan, you’re looking for a fi nancial partner who can advise you all the way through your fi nancial life.At Great Aussie Dream we pride ourselves on our knowledge and skill and over the 13 years we’ve been in business we have had the

privilege of building many partnerships with our clients and have enjoyed being a part of their journey.If you would like a fi nancial partner to help you buy your fi rst home or your next home; your fi rst investment property or your tenth, we

would love to be a part of your journey too.
