Community outrage as Shoal Bay trees are vandalised again FROM Page 1

Village complex right in the middle of town have likely been poisoned in the last week.

Residents are reporting that the trees have withered in a period as short as one week.

The change in these trees emulates what was happening to trees at Dutchies Beach near the playground.

They are calling for Council to install signage immediately in a hope to stop further vandalism of the trees.

Port Stephens Council Candidate for East Ward and Econetwork member Roz Armstrong told News Of The Area, "It's time Council took the vandalism to our environment in the form of the wilful destruction of trees, young or old

more seriously.

“For example I have yet to hear of any investigation and outcome of the marking of trees with yellow crosses on the pathway between Dutchies Beach and Nelson Bay Marina back in early November.

“We need to let these vandals know that they cannot get away with it.

“Where it's been thought that trees have been poisoned or destroyed to increase view from private properties, the Council should put up bunting to make sure the public knows that it's a case of vandalism and leave it there while replacement trees mature."

Port Stephens SES Unit bring home gold and silver medals in World Rescue awarded Gold for the XVR Incident Command Challenge Challenge and Silver for the Human Drones FROM Page 1

The team competed in two separate challenges, against twenty other teams from around the world including from Europe, Asia, America and beyond.

Alysha Springett, a member of the team, spoke about the experience.

“It was a little bit challenging this year as we usually train hands on with our tools and with vehicles.

“It makes it a little bit different to be virtually walking around a car in a simulation environment but the concepts do still apply the same way,” Ms Springett said.

The team put their rescue experience to good use, performing scene assessment, taskings, casualty assessment and triage, injury management, vehicle stabilisation, extrication planning, safety management, vehicle deconstruction and casualty handover to ambulance paramedics.

“To win Gold and Silver is a fantastic achievement,” Commissioner York said.

IN the bid to secure the position of popularly elected Mayor for Port Stephens, the race has been a tight one.

As of Monday evening, with 100 percent of formal votes counted and 4.15 percent of Informal/Other Votes counted, Incumbent Mayor Ryan Palmer was ahead of Labor Mayoral Candidate Leah Anderson by a slim margin of around 137 votes, according to the Electoral Commission.

The race for the seat of Mayor for Port Stephens has been one of the closest run in the state.

This result is in stark contrast to the 2017 election when Mr Palmer romped home, taking Glen Dunkley, the second on his ticket, through as a Councillor for East Ward.

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington said on Saturday night that the election for Mayor was “too close to call”.

Mayoral Candidate Leah

Anderson said she is incredibly grateful for the community's support and is excited to be taking a seat at the table as a Councillor for East Ward.

She is still hopeful that she will “get up” and win the Mayoral race.

Leah Anderson told News Of The Area, “Throughout the very long campaign period that included two lock downs due to Covid, I have kept a positive campaign the entire time.

“I had certain councillors attack me to try and bring me down, but they did not succeed.

“I remained strong and focused on our amazing community, and my desire to get into Council and fight for our community is what kept me going.

“I am absolutely thrilled to know that I have already succeeded as being elected East Ward Councillor.

“The race is not over yet though!

position,” she said.

Speaking to News Of The Area on Monday night, Mayor Palmer said he was remaining positive about retaining his position as Mayor, despite the closeness of the election.

“When you get 38,000 votes, and only 100 something votes between us, it is a very close run thing.

“You have to remain positive about the whole thing.”

Running as an Independent, Mr Palmer said he was proud to challenge the major political parties in the Local Government arena.

“We have increased our vote from last time, and we are just a group of friends and family trying to do the best thing by Port Stephens.

“We are going against a political party that has been around for 100 years, with a large supporter base across Australia, I think we are doing pretty good to be even in there with a shot.”

Mr Palmer thanked the Port Stephens community for their support during the campaign and

his time as Mayor.

“It’s been amazing, the support we have received throughout the campaign.

“The people who have seen what has happened over the last four years and want to see those things continue.

“That’s why I am running, there is a lot more to do.

“It wasn’t just about doing a four year stint and getting out, it is about continuing the good work we have done.

“Whether you voted for myself or the Labor party, I am sure If I get back in, there is a lot more we can achieve together.”

Monday 5 December saw the counting of postal and pre-poll votes.

The NSW Electoral Commission will be notifying the final results on 23 December, potentially leaving the two candidates waiting weeks for the final result.

Join The Renewable Revolution

By Marian SAMPSON PORT Stephens has the opportunity to take part in the new energy revolution which will assist Australia in reducing emissions as per the COP26 agreement.

Workers in the Hunter and Central Coast are set to benefit from the powering up of renewable energy projects in the regions, with registrations of interest now open for the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone (REZ).

Treasurer and Minister for Energy and Environment Matt Kean said the REZ will connect multiple energy generators and storage projects across the regions, which will help industry thrive and create the low carbon jobs of the future.

“This new REZ will ensure the Hunter and Central Coast remain the powerhouse of New South Wales, with 60 percent of the State’s homes, businesses and industry already powered out of these regions,” Mr Kean said.

“The Hunter-Central

Coast REZ will provide cheap, reliable and clean electricity for the homes and businesses of NSW, while supporting new job creation as we shift to a low carbon future.

“The NSW Government has the nation-leading policies and plans in place to deliver on our commitment to halve our State’s emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050.”

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin said there are already 13 renewable energy and battery storage projects in the Hunter and Central Coast, which are approved or progressing through the planning system.

There are currently cutting edge technology battery storage businesses being built and operating in Tomago.

“The Hunter-Central Coast REZ is a key part of our State’s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, which is expected to deliver $32 billion in private investment, and create 6,300 construction and 2,800 ongoing jobs by 2030,” Mr Martin said.

q Prime Minister Scott Morrision on a recent trip to the Hunter where he announced more Hydrogen projects for the region.

“The NSW Government is committed to supporting job creation in the regions, and is inviting renewable energy operators and large energy users to register their interest in being part of the Hunter-

Central Coast REZ.” Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Adam Crouch said the ROI is asking renewable energy projects and businesses with large electrical loads to register their interest

Farmers Plight Over Development

By Marian SAMPSON

ARE the rural properties in Port Stephens at risk of residential developments?

Local farmers that have been on the land in Seaham for years believe that they are.

In a region that floods as Nelsons Plains does, there is a need for high ground where cattle and other animals can be moved to to keep them safe during floods.

Now, a potential development could see the loss of one of the last remaining areas of high ground where cattle can be moved to safely during flood events.

Farmer Peter Manuel raises cattle on a farm that has been operating locally for over 200 years.

He told News Of The Area, “The local farmers are deeply worried about getting shut down over time if the development goes ahead.”

The two cattle farms and three poultry farms around Nelson’s Plains contribute an estimated $3 million dollars to the economy of Port Stephens annually.

Mr Manuel believes that his farm is at risk by the proposed development of large residential blocks right on his boundary.

His house, working sheds and cattle yards sit close to where the 8000 square meter blocks are proposed.

He has concerns that his farm will be effectively shut down by complaints when he fertilises with chicken manure.

He believes that when the calves are weaned in the cattle yards, the new residents, who probably won’t have a farming background, will complain nearly as loudly as the calves do when they are separated from their mothers.

He also feels that the odours from the cattle yards in

periods of rain will be an issue for the new residents.

There are also concerns about water catchment and the runoff of rainwater once the natural land is replaced with roofing, and hard surfaces.

The farm will be impacted by household and garden chemicals from the new development and there is also the risk of leaking sewage into the dam.

The farmers are also worried about dog attacks on young calves.

Associated with the farms are 24 hour heavy vehicle movements, with trucks arriving at the chicken farms in the area at all hours.

Chickens are collected at

night while they are sleeping which is less stressful for the birds.

The farmers are fearful that their businesses and livelihoods are in jeopardy, as they believe Council is so busy working on developing the region that they are prepared to see the end of local farming businesses in favour of development.

Local farmers are now in the position where they are calling the police in relation to acts of trespassing by the developers and their contractors.

Port Stephens Councillor Giacomo Arnott told News Of The Area, "For decades, developers have been favoured by this Council over people in our local community.

“Where developers submit proposals that will disadvantage our community, it says a lot about how much they care about the people of Port Stephens.

"I voted against this proposal when it came to Council, because our agricultural land should not be threatened by developments like this, and the local families who are trying to make a living in this area should not have their livelihoods destroyed.”

Tomaree Connected Learning Centre

Thursday, 9 December 2021

By Tara CAMPBELL

THE NSW Government has officially opened the $7 million TAFE NSW Connected Learning Centre (CLC) in Tomaree.

As of Thursday 2 December 2021, the centre is now open, offering students access to the latest learning technologies, expert teachers both on and off-site as well, personalised support

services all encompassed in Tomaree’s new modern campus experience.

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the NSW Government is significantly investing in the future of education across regional NSW. "This latest investment in Tomaree is enhancing TAFE NSW's capacity to deliver quality training locally and offer a wider range of courses so young people can live and learn close to home," Mr Lee

said.

"Enrolments are now open for Semester One 2022.

“Local students will have their pick of more than 37 courses, including the in-demand Certificate III in Community Pharmacy and the Certificate III in Entrepreneurship and New Business.

"We are proud to invest in TAFE NSW and ensure students in regional communities can build the skills and abilities for the jobs of today and tomorrow."

in being part of the REZ. “The NSW Government is focused on making sure new energy infrastructure is built in places where the community wants it, and the Central Coast is ready to welcome the renewable technology of the future,” Mr Crouch said.

“Extensive and meaningful community engagement is at the core of the NSW Government’s REZ program, with the Hunter-Central Coast REZ expected to take several years to design and develop.”

Member for Upper Hunter Dave Layzell said the REZ will support the development of the Hunter Hydrogen Hub, which will result in some of the cheapest green hydrogen in the world.

“The Hunter-Central Coast REZ is a fundamental part of our Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, to build NSW into an energy superpower, and will provide a huge boost to the State’s clean, affordable and reliable electricity supply,” Mr Layzell said.

“Planning, designing and building new electricity

infrastructure is complex and requires a detailed understanding of the Hunter region.

“The NSW Government is committed to engaging closely with the local community and stakeholders every step of the way.”

The Energy Corporation of NSW (EnergyCo NSW) is in the early stages of planning the Hunter-Central Coast REZ and the registration of interest (ROI) will help to inform the timing, capacity, design and location of the Hunter-Central Coast REZ. REZs are modern day power stations bringing together low-cost solar and wind generation with transmission and storage to produce cheap, clean and reliable electricity.

The call for registrations of interest in the Hunter-Central Coast REZ will close on 4 February 2022.

q The rural landscape that will be lost to a sea of roofs if Port Stephens Council approves the development. the Hunter Taylor Martin said the $7 million digitally-enabled Connected Learning Centre is a major win for the local community and will help local students gain job-ready skills.

"The Tomaree Connected Learning Centre will benefit the local community and the wider region.

“This state-of-the-art facility is opening up new education and training opportunities in Tomaree and providing students with access to indemand courses, expert teachers and support services," Mr Martin said.

"Health and aged care continue to be a primary occupation in

the Port Stephens and Hunter region.

“We expect there will be demand for over 2,000 additional healthcare workers in the Hunter over the next five years.

“This facility is ready to provide a pipeline of skilled workers that meets the needs of industry and the community."

The Tomaree Connected Learning Centre will deliver blended, facilitated, and online learning – backed up

by Mobile Training Units which will provide the practical training TAFE NSW is known for.

How Central voted

By Geoff WALKER

FOR the first time, the old school site in Lemon Tree Passage was abandoned as a polling place and the auditorium at Club Lemon Tree took its place.

This was seen as both more voter friendly and more in keeping with the Covid restrictions.

Tanilba Bay Public School was the other venue on the Tilligerry Peninsula, and at both locations social distancing and face masks were mandatory.

To lower the risk of Covid transmission, each voter was given a pen which they could keep.

Prospective councillors and their helpers were not allowed to hand out their 'how to vote' flyers for fear of spreading Covid.

Of all the polling places used over the years, the old fire station at LTP (now an Arts Centre) was the most

HUNTER Water has delivered its single biggest upgrade to one of the Lower Hunter region’s Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW). $36 million will be spent in Port Stephens as part of the upgrade.

Upgrades and water saving measures are designed to ensure the water security of the region into the future.

The $73 million investment at Farley WWTW near Maitland caters for an increasing population in the fastest growing regional area in New South Wales.

The upgraded plant services

large parts of the booming Maitland community, including 8,000 new and planned homes in Rutherford, Lochinvar and Aberglasslyn, together with the suburbs of Bolwarra, Gillieston Heights, Largs, Lorn, Oakhampton and Telarah.

Minister for Water, Housing and Property, Melinda Pavey, said the major investment demonstrated Hunter Water’s ongoing commitment to service the region’s population growth for the next decade and beyond and continue to protect the environment.

“The Farley WWTW upgrade improves the capacity, reliability and performance of the plant to provide high-quality wastewater treatment, delivering better community and

environmental outcomes for the growing region.

“The NSW Government has supported Hunter Water to complete the new, $28 million WWTW at Dungog earlier this year, and now with the Farley upgrade finished more than $100 million has been invested on these two projects alone,” Mrs Pavey said.

Hunter Water Managing Director, Darren Cleary, said innovation in design and during delivery included combining two treatment processes in one structure to minimise the construction footprint.

“The $73 million upgrade at Farley is our largest capital works investment at a WWTW to date and will ensure we can continue to cater

a number of tasks in a safe and efficient manner.

Lights on: Raymond Terrace ready for Christmas

By Tara CAMPBELL RAYMOND

Terrace’s

mammoth pine tree has been lit.

On Friday night, the

largest in the southern hemisphere by the National Register of Big Trees.

“It was a brilliant evening - it’s always amazing to see everyone come together to celebrate this special time of year with their family and friends.

“We were overwhelmed

by all the people who came down to join the festivities,” a representative from NSW SES – Port Stephens Unit told News Of The Area.

“We are so lucky to have such an amazing community.”

Throughout the night, community members flooded in to hear live music from Irrawang High School Students and enjoy carols by the Anglican Church choir and were even surprised by a guest appearance from Santa and his elf who stopped in to wish the Raymond Terrace community a Merry Christmas.

The bad weather stayed away after an inconsistent day allowing everyone to have an enjoyable night before the lights were switched on and met by a chorus of ‘wows’ from attendees.

“With our role in pandemic response winding down as the state progresses along the road to recovery, I want to encourage our newest recruits to remember what’s at the heart of everything we do as police officers – community safety.”

Education and Training Commander, Assistant Commissioner Dean Smith, said the Class of 350 had been presented with unique challenges throughout their training due to COVID-19, but had shown resilience to reach this proud moment.

“The 218 students were first required to study at home for a lengthy period, and once on site, were placed in lockdown at the academy

Free Holiday Fun

By Marian SAMPSON

FREE is the key to great holiday fun for families.

This year there is plenty of free fun to be had during the upcoming summer school holidays, with sport and recreation camps, dance parties and hundreds of summer skills sessions being held across rural and regional NSW. Minister for Regional Youth Bronnie Taylor said the NSW Government’s Holiday Break program will provide young people with the opportunity to reconnect with their friends,

meet new people and learn new skills.

“Unfortunately, our spring Holiday Break activities were unable to go ahead because of COVID, but with life returning to normal I am thrilled to confirm the summer program will be bigger and better than ever,” Mrs Taylor said.

“Whether it is an adventure at a three-night camp, hanging out with your friends at a BBQ and Beats session, enjoying free entry and activities at your local pool or learning practical and professional beautician skills, there’s something for everyone.

“After being cooped up at home during lockdown, I’m sure our young people will be ready and raring to make the most of all of the free activities on offer during the holidays,

q Enjoying getting out and about at beaches is a great way to enjoy free holiday fun but swimmers are reminded to swim between the flags.

PORT Stephens-Hunter Police District have welcomed three new Probationary Constables to the district.

Class 350 are the newest attested recruits from the NSW Police Force who were sworn in on Friday 3 December 2021.

From Monday 6 December 2021, 218 recruits will commence duties across the state, seeing them undertake a year of on-the-job training and completion of the Associate Degree in Policing Practice by distance education with Charles Sturt University before being confirmed to the rank of constable.

The local district welcomes Probationary Constables’ Kayla Wilson, Emma Nicholson and Darren Rondo to the Port StephensHunter Police District.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller welcomed those attesting to the NSW Police Force and said the 218 recruits were joining at a unique time in the state’s history.

“2021 has been another challenging year for NSW, with police taking on an unprecedented role in protecting the community from COVID-19,” Commissioner Fuller said. so jump onto the website, find something you want to be a part of and book your spot.”

Free summer Holiday Break activities include 25 multi-sport days, BBQ and

q PC Kayla Wilson, PC Emma Nicholson, Detective Superintendent Chad Gillies and PC Darren Rondo.

Beats events at 24 locations, 17 sport and recreation camps at nine regional centres, the Active Pools Youth Pilot Program at 16 locations and six creative workshops.

Mrs Taylor said funding of up to $10,000 is available to each of the state’s 93 regional councils, as well as not-forprofit organisations, to help cover the cost of staging extra youth events or extending services during the upcoming summer holidays.

“This funding could be used to support a wide range of activities, including extending local swimming pool hours, staging local concerts and shows, hosting craft workshops or skateboarding skills clinics,”

Mrs Taylor said.

“If there’s an activity that you’d like to see happen in your area during the school holidays, I encourage you to reach out to your local council or eligible community group and work with them to turn your idea into reality.”

Funding applications for events to be run from 20 December 2021 to 3 February 2022 are now open.

For information about activities near you, or funding guidelines, please visit: www. nsw.gov.au/HolidayBreak.

Of course families can also enjoy plenty of free fun accessing our National Parks, waterways and beaches.

RHYS DARBY: BIG IN JAPAN

TEN, 9.30pm

Kiwi actor Rhys Darby was lucky enough to get to Japan in those heady pre-COVID days where international travel was open to all. As we prepare to dust off our passports, this entertainingly weird and wacky fourpart series is just the ticket in armchair travel. Darby makes his entrance in tonight’s premiere via hot air balloon (of course) before traipsing through the country with his special knack of finding all the oddest places, such as the hotel run entirely by robots and a company that will make you your own mascot.

If you sing from the same songbook as Aussie songstress Delta Goodrem (right), Christmas is your favourite time of year, hands-down. After her debut festive special last year, which audiences lapped up, Delta is back with new and impressive guests to ring in Christmas via song and style. Joining Delta on stage at the Sydney Opera House will be singersongwriter Paul Kelly, Natalie Imbruglia, Cody Simpson, Harts, Jason Arrow, and imports Craig David, Andrea Bocelli and Gary Barlow. Expect some hijinks with The Inspired Unemployed and Hamish Blake also getting in on the Christmas cheer.

SECRETS OF ALTHORP WITH CHARLES SPENCER ABC, 8.30pm

The family home for more than 500 years, it’s an estate that screams money and privilege. Who wouldn’t want a sticky beak? Follow as Charles Spencer orchestrates an archaeological dig there in search of a lost Anglo Saxon village, only to uncover something far older.

DIY OR PAY A PROFESSIONAL

“We want to repaint our home. My partner and I in disagreement. I’m for paying a professional painter, he says we can do it ourselves. Your thoughts?”

WELL, there’s a saying you get what you pay for and that’s largely true. Professionals can be pricey, but this is what they do, day in day out and often over decades so their skills are very refined. Plus, they can devote all day every day for the duration of your job, so there is a time-related benefit in outsourcing. Alternatively, your partner may be super handy and happy to spend hours sanding, gapping where necessary, fixing any weatherboards or cracks in brickwork and then spending his – and your – afterwork hours, weekends and holidays to have the job done in a reasonable time frame so that you don’t have half your house painted and lose heart on completing what can be a daunting task! Plus you don’t mention whether yours is a single or double storey home because whether inside or out, you may have to hire scaffolding to reach those ‘beyond the ladder’ areas. Safety first! It’s a big task and remember, should you wish to sell, you want a home that presents well in every way. Despite the perceived financial savings, sometimes DIY can be false economy.

Stockton Part of First Disability Action Plan

By Marian SAMPSON

THE City of Newcastle is calling for comment on its new draft Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) as part of its commitment to creating an accessible and inclusive community.

This plan includes the Stockton precinct.

City of Newcastle’s Interim Director of Strategy and Engagement, Kathleen Hyland, said International Day of People with Disability (December 3) was the perfect time to reflect on key achievements of Newcastle's inaugural DIAP and ask the community for their input on the updated Plan.

"Today we celebrate the progress made through the 2016 DIAP, including the establishment of the Access Inclusion Advisory Committee," Ms Hyland said.

"It's now time for the broader community to provide input into the new draft 2021 DIAP, which sets the direction and outlines key actions to be implemented over the coming years to ensure our services and programs are accessible for everyone.

"City of Newcastle remains committed to ensuring our city is inclusive for all who live, visit and work here, by leading action towards a more equitable society."

City of Newcastle was the first Council in New South Wales to adopt a DIAP under the current legislation, which saw 55 of 57 actions significantly progressed or completed across the four-year period from 2016 to 2020.

Positive outcomes from the first plan include: the establishment of the Access Inclusion Advisory Committee to ensure decisions are informed by direct consultation with people with lived experience with disabilities; the establishment of Newcastle’s Count Us In festival to raise the profile of disability inclusion across the city; and the inclusion of people with a disability in the consultative processes, including provided input into or co-design of major projects

by City of Newcastle.

Examples include the inclusive play spaces

Labor wrap up campaign

By Tara CAMPBELL

PORT Stephens Labor have wrapped up their election campaign for the 2021 Local Government Elections.

With results for Mayor too close to call on the night of 4 December, family, friends and volunteers gathered to congratulate candidates Jason Wells and Leah Anderson on their election, and Giacomo Arnott for his re-election.

Joining them on the night were local Labor MPs Kate Washington and Meryl Swanson who congratulated the candidates’ hard work.

“I just want to say that it doesn't matter whatever comes of these results in the next couple of days because I look at what we’ve done for

the campaign and what we collectively faced in 2016; it’s so totally different to what is emerging now with this fresh new set of minds, hearts and social consciences.

DEAR Jasminda, After 20 years, I still don't like my partner coming in to talk to me when I am using the bathroom.

I feel as though this is a sacred time and space and even though we've seen each other in every imaginable situation, privacy is still warranted.

Madelaine R. Dear Madelaine, For me to fully comprehend your partner's intrusion, I am trying to imagine the configuration of your bathroom.

Is it one of those all-in-one arrangements where there is a shower, vanity unit and toilet? Or is it a small, dank room with only a toilet and sink, and he feels the need to invade the only time you have to yourself?

I'm with you, Madelaine.

There are many moments of intimacy couples can share without the need to chat while one of you is perched with your pants around your ankles.

It is an unnecessary visual (and sometimes olfactory) assault that, once experienced, can't be wiped, (unintentional pun, which is always a delightful thing to experience).

If you don't have a lock on your door, I would suggest you get one.

This is not only helpful for intrusive partners, but also clueless children, curious cats, domineering dogs, and nosy neighbours.

If, however, he/she is just coming in to talk to you while you are showering, it just means there's still a bit of spice left in your marriage and that is cause for celebration, rather than something to complain about.

Carpe diem,Jasminda.

Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities towards an inclusive, accessible and sustainable future was this years’ theme for International Day of People with Disability.

Community engagement to develop the 2021 DIAP included in-person consultation sessions, focus groups survey as well as internal consultation with areas such as facilities, services, human resources and project planning divisions.

Under the new DIAP, 35 new actions will be carried out to achieve the community's vision for Newcastle in line with the City's Community Strategic Plan and pave the way for City of Newcastle to become a more inclusive organisation.

Accessible and easy-read versions of the draft DIAP are available for comment until Monday 10 January 2022. Feedback can be made online at newcastle.nsw.gov.au/ yoursay.

Committee members include Guide Dogs NSW/ACT's Nathan Burford, Walker, community representatives Chris Leishman, Community Disability Alliance Hunter's Kirsty Russell, Eliot Shaw and Margaret Wood, and Joseph Popov, Maroba Communities' Tracy Councillors Carol Duncan and Andrea Rufo.

“We’re on the precipice of real change in our area and I just think that is so exciting and so remarkable,” Ms Swanson said.

HSC Exams Over THE 2021 Higher School Certificate exams officially ended at 12:30 on Friday December 3, when 3,756 Food Technology students finished their final exam.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said it was a momentous day for the Class of 2021, who have shown incredible resilience and hard work to get to this point.

“Today officially marks the end of 13 years of schooling for 69,000 Year 12 students and I am incredibly happy to see them so triumphantly reach the finish line,” Ms Mitchell said.

“HSC students should be very proud of what they have achieved over the past two years.

“The resilience, focus and adaptability they have shown

will serve them well in the next chapter of their life, whether that is university, vocational training, or employment.

“To safely deliver 400,000 individual exam sessions statewide with no disruption amidst a global pandemic is a huge success.

“I thank the school sectors, principals, teachers, school staff, exam supervisors and invigilators, students and their families for their engagement and adherence to the COVIDsafe HSC exam guidelines."

Over the past four weeks, students sat 110 exams across 750 exam venues, with strict COVID-safe protocols in place.

Chief Executive Officer of the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Paul Martin said the 2021 HSC was a huge success, with all exams going

ahead safely even when a small number of schools closed due to COVID-19.

“Having a robust set of COVIDsafe exam protocols in place was vital to the success of exams this year,” Mr Martin said.

“The protocols and plans in place also proved effective in mitigating against other issues throughout the exam period, including flooding in parts of the state.

“Students in the impacted areas were able to safely get to alternate exam venues.

“My sincerest gratitude goes to the school community and exam staff for delivering a COVID-safe HSC this year.”

Marking is already underway, with results to be delivered via SMS and email on Monday 24 January.

Students can get their school assessment ranks from this afternoon via Students Online until 30 December.

Scholarships for Golfing Girls! media@newsofthearea.com.au

HORIZONS Golf Resort in Salamander Bay has obtained funding from The Australian Golf Foundation (AGF) to

support five lucky teenage girls to pursue their passion for golf.

Scholarships are open to girls aged 10 to 16 and while

the program’s primary aim is to retain girls in golf by giving girls a shared golf experience, girls new to golf may also be

engaged in this program should they demonstrate a commitment to learning the sport.

This also applies to girls aged 7 – 10 years who have shown a keen interest in golf and have

good experience.

“This is a terrific opportunity and a wonderful achievement for golf in our region,” said Vince Owen, Head Professional at Horizons.

“Not only will girls receive 24 coaching sessions with our PGA Professional team, but also a one-year junior club membership that carries playing rights, to ensure girls can participate in club competitions and obtain a handicap.”

The Scholarship program is part of a national campaign to get more girls playing golf.

Along with 134 other golf facilities across Australia, Horizons will be working closely with golf’s national body Golf Australia throughout 2022 and they are the only course who have been awarded this funding in the Newcastle, Hunter and Port Stephens region!

“All we ask is that applicants display a desire and willingness to improve their golf skills, obtain a handicap, play in club competitions (or at least social play) and engage in any extracurricular activity that fosters friendships between scholarship holders.”

A total of five scholarships will be available for 2022, and the program is expected to commence in February 2022.

For further information and to apply, please contact Vince Owen on 0402 813 205 or email vince@horizons.com.au by 16 December 2021.

There is also more information on their website at www.horizons.com.au/girls-golfscholarship/.
