Jessica Perro, a year 12 student from Glasshouse Christian College, was named as the bursary winner at a school Glasshouse Christian College head assembly with her peers and of secondary school David Heyworth family present. and Jessica Perro with Andrew Powell “This is the first year that I’ve MP awarded the bursary in memory of my friend and amazing local community advocate Joyce Newton, who passed away last year after a struggle with motor neurone disease,” Mr Powell said. “Joyce loved civic society – getting involved in our democracy, debating ideas, seeking to better our local community, our state and our nation. As a former teacher, she sought to instil the same love in our future generations. This bursary seeks to keep that interest and legacy alive,” Mr Powell said. Organised in conjunction with Mrs Newton’s family, the bursary includes a $1,000 voucher to Concept IT at Maleny, acknowledgement and tabling of the essay written by Jessica in the Queensland Parliament and dinner for the winner and her family at Queensland Parliament House. “To enter, students needed to submit a 1,000 word essay to my office on the value of the many small businesses and farmers in the seat of Glass House and their importance to the State of Queensland,” Mr Powell said. “Jessica Perro wrote a brilliant essay highlighting the way agriculture has been a way of life and a vital part of the economy in Queensland and especially the Glass House region.” The essay drew attention to exciting new industry leaders such as Hum Honey, Green Valley Agriculture, Chocolate Country and Maleny Black Angus Beef. Jessica wrote about how the strength and innovation of small business and farming in Glass House would ensure a positive future for the immediate and greater community. “It is an honour to award the very first Joyce Newton OAM Memorial Bursary to Jessica Perro, and I look forward to continuing the bursary and supporting local students for many years to come,” Mr Powell said.
Reconnect and balance your chakras with Chakradance
Chakradance is a healing dance practice offered by Esther Guilhot, an accredited facilitator and family and mental health counsellor of SAFE Counselling. When faced with stressful situations that overwhelm our senses, our energy gets restricted into a survival response of fight, flight or freeze. Esther says that meaning making is shut off and emotional content of these experiences becomes trapped in our body and chakras become imbalanced. Physical and mental ailments can manifest such as headaches, muscle tension, depression, fatigue, low libido, illness and over-eating. Esther says Chakradance provides a safe space for you to give movement and expression to these energies and emotions by dancing spontaneously with your eyes closed, moving in your own way and then integrating the meaningful physical experience by creating your own mandala. Moving in your own way with your eyes closed to the music integrates earth and body with soul and spirit, giving movement to your emotions and releasing the blockages so your energy can move freely, she says. Esther looks forward to dancing with you in your healing journey. For more information contact Esther Guilhot or SAFE Counselling @secureattachmentsfreeemotions on Facebook.
