TRUE GRIT! “True Grit!” That, according to McCarthy Catholic College Principal Ms Robyn Meddows, is what makes her students stand out from the crowd. In an inspirational address worthy of an Olympic podium, Ms Meddows told the audience of the pride she felt on opening a letter from the chief of the Australian Defence Force, General David Hurley. The Academic Awards Ceremony certainly had elements of a great Olympic victory speech as Ms Meddows revealed that two of her students, Benjamin Martin and Gareth Roche, were chosen over 2300 others throughout the entire country to be awarded the much-coveted Australian Defence Force Technical Scholarships. Careers advisor Mr Craig Laffin proudly stated, “The Australian Defence Force only takes the best. In selecting two of our students, they gained the best.” Both boys agree that the study they’ve undertaken with the school’s Trade Training Centre* is what helped them win these prestigious scholarships. Since mathematics became an elective subject in 2009, the education department saw a dramatic drop in the number of students studying maths for the HSC. Continued pg 3...

ELG. I’m assuming that a fair percentage of our readers will be partaking in a bit of armchair exercise during the Olympics, and if watching all those magnificent athletes in action isn’t inspiration enough, we have a host of health, fitness and wellbeing articles to really get you motivated! Keep all your fingers and toes crossed for our very own Olympians, Jessica Fox from Leonay and Penrithites Jade Close and Robin Jeffery. We may as well claim our neighbours from Springwood too – cyclist Amanda Spratt and Canoeist Sebastian Marczak. Go team! The chef at Hopewood Retreat has provided a healthy (and patriotic) green & gold recipe this month for you to enjoy. Its quick and easy, leaving you more time for exercise. Enough of the physical stuff, though. Check out page 3 for a mental challenge ‘Olympic Numbers’ – just something to keep you on the ball. Give it a go – you have nothing to lose, and it could just be a life-changing experience for you. Enjoy reading your local community news and stay warm as you snuggle up in front of the TV for some marathon Olympic viewing! Vicki

McCarthy Students Strike Gold
From pg 1... Defence Force representative, Petty Officer Brian Town
said the scholarships were a government initiative, introduced in 2009 as an incentive for students to keep maths and technical subjects in their curriculum. Year 12 student Benjamin Martin said the scholarship will set him up to pursue a future in the defence force as a rifleman or combat engineer. Gareth Roche, year 11, agrees that the scholarship ensures a brighter future and better job prospects. He was lucky enough to be chosen as one of only 40 Year 11 students Australia-wide to participate in a week long ‘Defence Experience Tour’. The 40 students spent a week of the July holidays at the Defence Trade Training Centres in Wagga Wagga, Albury Wodonga and in Melbourne on the HMAS Cerberus. Research suggests that only a third of one’s ability to achieve success in life is attributed to IQ. The difference is the effort you put into whatever it is you’re working towards – that’s the grit. And it appears that McCarthy students have an abundant supply. Along with the Defence Force scholarships, sixteen year 9 students and another sixteen students from Year 10 were recognised for their selection in the University of Western Sydney’s Fast Forward Program. Ms Stephanie Palermo of UWS said the program selects students with academic and leadership potential, with the aim of engaging the students in learning opportunities from year 9 through to year 12, transitioning to tertiary education. UWS has been running the Fast Forward program with other western Sydney schools for several years and has just this year introduced McCarthy Catholic College to the partnership. On the day of the awards where many students through years 7 to 12 were recognised for their academic achievements, the Principal handed out equal measures of praise, encouragement and sage advice. “Make the most of the day. Make the most of school… Having a passion for your favourite subject or your sport will help you… Take on challenges… If you don’t understand what you’re doing, work and work and work until you do.” And if the audience were not inspired enough by all the awards, Ms Meadows summed up proceedings with a few famous quotes – an apt addition to our Olympic edition… “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas A. Edison “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” – Albert Einstein “Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.” – Saint Francis de Sales * Read all about McCarthy Catholic College’s Trade Training Centre in the next edition.
OLYMPIC NUMBERS! Enough of the physical exercise. Here’s a mental challenge for you. Count the number of times the word “Olympic” appears in this edition. The first person to SMS the correct number to me on 0417 267 690 will WIN A FORTNIGHT OF YOGA* at Springwood Yoga Studio, 3/167-169 Macquarie Road, Springwood. Now that’s something worth counting on!

OLYMPIC EDITION Child Restraint Laws – It’s Easy with BEESAFE The NSW Government recently updated Child Restraint Laws that require ALL children under seven years of age to be secured in a suitable child restraint or booster seat when travelling in a vehicle. Drivers will need to ensure that children younger than four years of age do not travel in the front seat of a vehicle where that vehicle also has rear seats. Also, children under seven years of age cannot travel in the front seat of a vehicle where that vehicle also has rear seats, unless all the rear seats are occupied by children younger than seven years. New standards introduced this year provide for shoulder height indicators on all new child car restraints being manufactured in Australia. These indicators are a guide for parents when choosing the correct child restraint for their child & have been introduced to assist parents where there has been confusion in the past regarding children’s height & weight. Correct selection of your child’s car restraint is critical, using an incorrect restraint based on your child’s circumstance can lead to serious consequences. While the newly shoulder height indicators are there to assist you, it is important that you understand the weight limitations of all restraints and for that you should seek the advice of experts. An unrestrained child sitting in the rear seat of a vehicle can hit the driver with force equivalent to the weight of a baby elephant. Surveys carried out by Kidsafe have found that some 69% of all child restraints inspected were found to be incorrectly fitted and some 25% would have put the child at risk of death or serious injury in an accident. Most importantly, properly fitted child restraints can reduce the risk of death or serious injury in road crashes by up to 70%. It is therefore vitally important to have all child restraints fitted, if not inspected, by a trained professional. Beesafe Travel is an RTA Authorised Child Restraint & Seat Belt installation service, who have over 15 years experience in the professional fitting of child restraints. As your local authorised professionals, they operate a mobile service which comes right to your door. For maximum piece of mind, call Angela at Beesafe Travel now on 0404 132 208 for more information or to book a mobile installation.

St Finbar’s Prepares for Olympic Action It’s athletics carnival time, and what better inspiration to run your heart out than to have all our Olympic heroes leading the way in London. St Finbar’s proved to have its fair share of budding track and field stars, with some blistering times on the track. Perfect sunshine and moderate temperatures allowed the athletes to do their best, with many kids managing PBs. The big winners on the day were Tamaroo (Blue House). They broke a long losing streak to collect the House Cup after a stunning victory in the mixed relay and the help of bonus points for good sportsmanship. Great work!

President’s Cup Football
Socceroo scouts should have been about at Jamison Park recently. The U9 competition in the President’s Cup was sizzling hot. BMFC U9 Panthers played the match of their lives, only to be defeated with 1 minute to go in extra time by an impressive Henry Lawson team. The parents were nervous wrecks by the fulltime whistle. Still, it was a better way to go down than last year. Panthers lost after 0-0 at extra time, in a penalty shoot-out.

In fact, eating a vegetarian diet can easily provide your body with the protein and nutrients it needs to be a power house. Just ask distance runner David McNeill, a vegetarian who will be making his Olympic debut in London this year. Unlike many of us who often let our eating habits slip over the colder months, McNeill and other London 2012 medallist hopefuls have to keep up their good eating habits all year round, and it’s a lesson we can learn from!

Are you ready to enjoy better health, higher energy levels, motivation and physical wellness? Melanie Waddell will help you on the way to a new you. Melanie is the founder of BodyJazz Holistic Well Being Centre. BodyJazz’s mission theme ‘Believe, Inspire, Achieve’ is to help clients reach their goals in all aspects of their lives with a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. After suffering complications of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome at age 17, coming to terms with her Aboriginality and losing her father to diabetes when she was only 2 years of age, the founder of BodyJazz Holistic Well Being Centre was on her way to a life time of health problems. Inspired by friend, colleague and trainer Chantelle Dallas, Melanie then began turning her life around. This was the start of her weight loss journey. After losing a staggering 32kg’s, Melanie wanted to help others who never thought they could lose weight, achieve the same benefits of a healthy lifestyle as she has come to know. “BodyJazz is a business that I hold very close to my heart. After losing 32 KG’s and turning my life from being cluttered with negativity to being filled with health, possibilities and positivity, I realised that our happiness, health and wellbeing are our very own creation. I am passionate about passing on my message to clients through my fitness, massage and life coaching programs”, says Melanie. “This I believe will help to extend the lives of others and provide the education to clients that they can then use within their homes, to benefit themselves, their family and most importantly, their children.” BodyJazz Holistic Well Being Centre and Mind Health Clinic Hypnotherapy have amalgamated to create a holistic approach to health, lifestyle and weight loss. Melanie works in conjunction with naturopath and nutritionist Keren Dando of Lapstone, to provide clients with well-rounded health values that support the mind and body. Client Nathan Coey has lost an amazing 17 kgs with BodyJazz’s ‘Health & Lifestyle’ and ‘Dream Bodies’ program. He said, “It has completely changed not only my life, but has also inspired my partner. It feels great to have friends notice not only the physical changes but to see me being happier within myself. I feel fit and like a seasoned runner with my new body.” BodyJazz’s programs are proven to help people of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels to attain wellbeing, strength, and relaxation. They not only run individual personal training, but a step by step 12 week weight loss program to keep you motivated and seeing results! The successful life coaching programs have helped people achieve goals in all areas whether it be relationship, career, sporting goals or personal fitness/weight loss goals.

Shed those Winter Bulges with Michelle Beech Now we’ve been experiencing some warmer days, some of us are anticipating Spring, the end of the Winter blues, flowers in bloom, fresh air, sunshine and lighter clothing. Naturally, when the weather is cold, it is easier to give in to the temptation of rich, filling foods to warm us and bring comfort. Unfortunately, this also means that many of us carry a bit more weight than we would normally like to and in Winter it is more difficult to find time to move our bodies and keep active and trim. Many of us wake in the morning with good intentions - picturing ourselves looking shiny, new, healthy and thinner. We think, today is the day I will make the change. However, no matter how good our intentions we often give in to our weaknesses. I hear it over and over again, people tell me how hard they’ve tried but they feel like they are failures. There are many reasons for weight gain, and sub-optimal health, and it is not always due entirely to what we consume. There are many factors which include: – Hormonal, especially for women who are peri or postmenopausal or suffering PMS issues – Wrong food choices – especially when you believe these foods are healthy. There is a lot of misinformation from food manufacturers who are out there to push their products. – Foods that are not compatible with your metabolism or blood type that may cause inflammation or mild allergy which can upset our digestive processes resulting in poor absorption, assimilation and elimination. – Foods that increase hunger and appetite, rather than satiate it. – Sometimes nutritional deficiencies keep our bodies craving for the wrong things. – Not enough exercise and movement and especially lack of motivation. And the list goes on. So what to do? The good news is there is much than can be done with often minor, sustainable and achievable lifestyle changes. Knowledge is power. Being a Naturopath/Nutritionist, I am able to work with my patients providing that knowledge and self-empowerment. Obviously, there are no magic pills, so to speak, but there are many herbs and nutrients, and homeopathy that make the journey achievable, along with lifestyle coaching and goal-setting. I have recently established my new clinic at 48 Lucasville Road, Glenbrook (just up the road from Glenbrook village.) View my website at www.michellebeech.com.au or the Natural Therapies pages: www.naturaltherapypages.com.au/natural_medicine/nsw/ glenbrook/Naturopath Most healthfunds covered. Offstreet parking.

And here’s something for the members. Are you game to take the Olympic 45 second Challenge? What can you do in 45 seconds? Usain Bolt could run 400m. Australian swimming sensation Eamon Sullivan would be a touch off 100m freestyle. And apparently there’s a 91-year fellow in the USA who can do 61 chin-ups in 45 seconds! (That I’d like to see!) Categories for you to test your stamina at Contours include cycling, rowing, running, squats and pushups. Get your body ready for summer - start early, get fit and strong, find your energy! Call the studio on 4735 4464 for more information.

OLYMPIC EDITION
McCarthy Teacher Hip Hops to Ireland Recently, McCarthy Catholic College teacher Keith Heggart spent three weeks in Europe at a number of conferences. Firstly, Keith was invited by the Cultural Studies Association to Paris for the Crossroads in Cultural Studies Conference. He was asked to present a paper about the ‘Hip Hop for Global Justice’ program that ran at McCarthy last year. This program, which was the work of Keith and Fulbright Scholar, Akesha Horton, encouraged young people to engage with issues of social justice through Hip Hop Culture. Students worked with artists like L-Fresh to write songs about important issues like bullying and crime. These songs were then recorded at the AKC in Mount Druitt. Keith presented his findings, as well as playing some of the songs at the conference, which took place at the world famous Sorbonne University, and also at the headquarters of UNESCO. Keith said, ‘Sometimes, teaching programs like this can make you feel isolated – it was wonderful to hear about so many other educators who are committed to social justice.’ Keith was also invited to the Apple Distinguished Educators’ Global Institute in Cork, Ireland. This institute drew together
215 of the best educators and technological innovators from around the world, where they discussed authoring new content for iTunes U and using iBooks Author. Keith said, ‘This was a very powerful experience. It was a real honour to meet so many incredible – and incredibly talented teachers.’ In addition to workshops, the teachers also had a chance to work with professional film makers and photographers, and also learn from The Open University about how to create online content. All in all, an invaluable experience for Mr Heggart.
