In 2012 amp 2013 Hartley was elected to the Student Representative Council of St Dominicrsquos College and also represented his school at the Catholic Schools Debating Association during those same years He is keen to refi ne his leadership skills so that he may use them in future programs and possibly one day in Parliament

Jobs Boost for PenrithNSW Minister Assisting the Premier on Western Sydney
and Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres has welcomed plans to relocate and consolidate more than 3000 public servants to new offi ces in Western Sydney
ldquoThis is a move that will boost Penrith economy and support local jobs as part of the NSW Governmentrsquos lsquodecade of decentralisationrsquo policyrdquo Mr Ayres said
ldquoThis about a fair go for the people of Penrith and this decision will provide a signifi cant economic boost Itrsquos a clear demonstration of the NSW Liberals amp Nationals Governmentrsquos commitment to Western Sydney
ldquoStarting next year more than 3000 public servants will be relocated and consolidated to new offi ces here in Penrith as well as in Liverpool and Parramattardquo he said
NSW Sport and Recreation will move from Sydney Olympic Park to Penrith
ldquoIn the coming weeks the NSW Government will seek expressions of interest for 5000 square metres of commercial space here in Penrith which equates to between fi ve and 10 stories of additional offi ce spacerdquo Mr Ayres said
ldquoThe move will create a huge amount of activity in the area - stimulating development supporting local businesses and creating jobs during construction of the new offi ces
ldquoDecentralisation makes economic sense It has the added benefi t of ensuring public servants are based in the communities they serve helping to improve the delivery of services
ldquoThe relocation will also provide more opportunities for Penrith residents who want to work closer to where they live and will help reduce congestion in the Sydney CBDrdquo Mr Ayres said
The NSW Government will not own the new offi ce accommodation but will instead become an anchor tenant for new investment in the region
ldquoThis decentralisation strategy adds to the huge infrastructure projects we are delivering for Western Sydney including WestConnex the North West and South West Rail Links as well delivering more nurses teachers and policerdquo Mr Ayres concluded

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

Would you believe 5 years ago a scant idea to air many quilts has culminated in the 6th airing at The Arms of Australia Inn at Emu Plains
The success of this venture lies at the core of community eff ort The support of the members of the Penrith District Historical Society at The Arms of Australia Inn Museum providing their site and the delicious Devonshire teas the continued eff ort each year by the Lions Club of Emu Plains to do the sausage sizzle and the newest helpers bring The Lower Mountains Menrsquos shed who will help with the hanging of the quilts this shows how a signifi cant community event takes place in our village Storage of the fi nished quilts during the year was supplied by DCC Architects Russell Street Emu Plains
The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury
Nepean Springwood and Blue Mountains Palliative Care and Neonatal wards Blue Mountains Cancer Support Little Wings Prince of Wales Childrenrsquos Hospital youth accommodation and many raffl e quilts each year
This year they were fortunate to have a wonderful display of Vintage Quilts these quilts are from the private collection of Kaye and Bruce Brown who own and operate The Finishing Touch quilting business from Glenmore NSW

Jobs Boost for PenrithNSW Minister Assisting the Premier on Western Sydney
and Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres has welcomed plans to relocate and consolidate more than 3000 public servants to new offi ces in Western Sydney
ldquoThis is a move that will boost Penrith economy and support local jobs as part of the NSW Governmentrsquos lsquodecade of decentralisationrsquo policyrdquo Mr Ayres said
ldquoThis about a fair go for the people of Penrith and this decision will provide a signifi cant economic boost Itrsquos a clear demonstration of the NSW Liberals amp Nationals Governmentrsquos commitment to Western Sydney
ldquoStarting next year more than 3000 public servants will be relocated and consolidated to new offi ces here in Penrith as well as in Liverpool and Parramattardquo he said
NSW Sport and Recreation will move from Sydney Olympic Park to Penrith
ldquoIn the coming weeks the NSW Government will seek expressions of interest for 5000 square metres of commercial space here in Penrith which equates to between fi ve and 10 stories of additional offi ce spacerdquo Mr Ayres said
ldquoThe move will create a huge amount of activity in the area - stimulating development supporting local businesses and creating jobs during construction of the new offi ces
ldquoDecentralisation makes economic sense It has the added benefi t of ensuring public servants are based in the communities they serve helping to improve the delivery of services
ldquoThe relocation will also provide more opportunities for Penrith residents who want to work closer to where they live and will help reduce congestion in the Sydney CBDrdquo Mr Ayres said
The NSW Government will not own the new offi ce accommodation but will instead become an anchor tenant for new investment in the region
ldquoThis decentralisation strategy adds to the huge infrastructure projects we are delivering for Western Sydney including WestConnex the North West and South West Rail Links as well delivering more nurses teachers and policerdquo Mr Ayres concluded

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

veterinary hospital than to host a colouring in competition All entries will be displayed on the walls of the veterinary hospital

The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury
Nepean Springwood and Blue Mountains Palliative Care and Neonatal wards Blue Mountains Cancer Support Little Wings Prince of Wales Childrenrsquos Hospital youth accommodation and many raffl e quilts each year
This year they were fortunate to have a wonderful display of Vintage Quilts these quilts are from the private collection of Kaye and Bruce Brown who own and operate The Finishing Touch quilting business from Glenmore NSW

ldquoIn the coming weeks the NSW Government will seek expressions of interest for 5000 square metres of commercial space here in Penrith which equates to between fi ve and 10 stories of additional offi ce spacerdquo Mr Ayres said
ldquoThe move will create a huge amount of activity in the area - stimulating development supporting local businesses and creating jobs during construction of the new offi ces
ldquoDecentralisation makes economic sense It has the added benefi t of ensuring public servants are based in the communities they serve helping to improve the delivery of services
ldquoThe relocation will also provide more opportunities for Penrith residents who want to work closer to where they live and will help reduce congestion in the Sydney CBDrdquo Mr Ayres said
The NSW Government will not own the new offi ce accommodation but will instead become an anchor tenant for new investment in the region
ldquoThis decentralisation strategy adds to the huge infrastructure projects we are delivering for Western Sydney including WestConnex the North West and South West Rail Links as well delivering more nurses teachers and policerdquo Mr Ayres concluded

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

The success of this venture lies at the core of community eff ort The support of the members of the Penrith District Historical Society at The Arms of Australia Inn Museum providing their site and the delicious Devonshire teas the continued eff ort each year by the Lions Club of Emu Plains to do the sausage sizzle and the newest helpers bring The Lower Mountains Menrsquos shed who will help with the hanging of the quilts this shows how a signifi cant community event takes place in our village Storage of the fi nished quilts during the year was supplied by DCC Architects Russell Street Emu Plains
The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners
1st Madison Pirrone and Sarah Simmons (Caroline Chisholm College) Each winning an iPad 2nd Ellen Storie-Gregory and Brooke Said (McCarthy Catholic College) Each winning $1003rd Petra Henry and Teagan Simpson (Glenmore Park High School) Each winning $50

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said
Register at wwwswimmingpoolregisternswgovau For further information contact the Swimming Pool
Compliance team on 4732 7897 Applications for compliance certifi cates are available on Councilrsquos website ndash click on lsquoOur Communityrsquo then lsquoSafetyrsquo

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

Know the Rules for PoolsAustralians love the water and while backyard pools off er
hours of fun for families and friends they also pose a risk to young children
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said new legislation had been introduced to prevent accidents in backyard pools Drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 0-5 years
ldquoCouncil is about to start inspecting swimming pools for compliance with this new legislation This means all pools and spa pools capable of holding 30cm or more of water must be registered and meet certain requirements If they donrsquot comply owners can be fi nedrdquo Cr Fowler said
From April all properties with a swimming pool or spa pool listed for sale or lease must also have a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance
Multi-occupancy dwellings and tourist and visitor accommodation will also require a valid swimming pool certifi cate of compliance from 29 April 2014
ldquoCouncil is expecting a large spike in applications for certifi cates and is encouraging all owners landlords and body-corporates to act nowrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoIf you havenrsquot already you should register immediately and complete the self-assessment Fix any compliance issues before council inspects to avoid further inspection fees or fi nesrdquo Cr Fowler said

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners
1st Madison Pirrone and Sarah Simmons (Caroline Chisholm College) Each winning an iPad 2nd Ellen Storie-Gregory and Brooke Said (McCarthy Catholic College) Each winning $1003rd Petra Henry and Teagan Simpson (Glenmore Park High School) Each winning $50

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

Connection RitualsIf your child is having trouble separating
from you into childcare or school or even to family and friends sometimes it helps to have a lsquoconnection ritualrsquo
My youngest boy taught me the importance of this
People say that we donrsquot get an instruction manual when we have our kids But we actually do Itrsquos the child himself
Our child tells us what she needs through her behaviour When children feel safe within the relationship with you they will tell you what they need We just have to listen
My boy developed a ritual at drop-off time and bedtime where he would ask me to blow him a kiss and he would catch it and put it in his pocket lsquofor laterrsquo and then he would pat his pocket And I had to catch his kiss and put it in my pocket He was then happy to separate
Thus a connection ritual is something that communicates your love care and attention to your child It is similar to a lsquocomfort itemrsquo but there is no tangible object just a memory
I am a strong advocate for comfort items like a teddy or a blanket In the life of a young child they are a substitute for the primary caregiver A comfort item provides comfort to the young child during a time when he is starting to realise that he is a separate person to his primary caregiver but the separation causes him anxiety (Dr Donald Winnicott) The comfort item is a reminder of the carerrsquos love
As children grow older and itrsquos not so cool to carry your teddy into school with you a connection ritual can take the place of a comfort item
A connection ritual can be anything that reminds your child of the bond between you It can be a word or a song but it has to be the same thing each time One of the coolest connection rituals Irsquove seen is a family handshake You know those funny handshakes that you see on American TV shows The ones where they shake then do a thumbs up and a slide and bump their fi sts together and wiggle their fi ngers and do an explosion gesture and all of that
The connection ritual would be done as the fi nal thing when you drop the children off at preschool or school with a ldquosee ya at the end of schoolrdquo before you separate
In the USA connection rituals are standard practice in some schools The teacher looks the child in the eyes smiles warmly shakes the hand of each child as he or she enters the classroom and says ldquogood morning (name of the child)rdquo Sometimes this job is given to a child who is called lsquothe greeterrsquo and it is just like any other job in the classroom which is rotated amongst the children just like lsquoline leaderrsquo
What do you think Is this something you already do Do you have some ideas for connection rituals One of the teachers in the school I work in told me about a book called ldquoThe Kissing Handrdquo by Audrey Penn ndash you can fi nd it on YouTube
Basically for the parents the connection ritual is something that creates connection communicates care nurture and attention and fi lls the childrsquos emotional cup before the separation For teachers itrsquos a ritual that communicates to the child that he or she is welcome at school

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners
1st Madison Pirrone and Sarah Simmons (Caroline Chisholm College) Each winning an iPad 2nd Ellen Storie-Gregory and Brooke Said (McCarthy Catholic College) Each winning $1003rd Petra Henry and Teagan Simpson (Glenmore Park High School) Each winning $50

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around
Colouring in CompetitionIn 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

Would you believe 5 years ago a scant idea to air many quilts has culminated in the 6th airing at The Arms of Australia Inn at Emu Plains
The success of this venture lies at the core of community eff ort The support of the members of the Penrith District Historical Society at The Arms of Australia Inn Museum providing their site and the delicious Devonshire teas the continued eff ort each year by the Lions Club of Emu Plains to do the sausage sizzle and the newest helpers bring The Lower Mountains Menrsquos shed who will help with the hanging of the quilts this shows how a signifi cant community event takes place in our village Storage of the fi nished quilts during the year was supplied by DCC Architects Russell Street Emu Plains
The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury
Nepean Springwood and Blue Mountains Palliative Care and Neonatal wards Blue Mountains Cancer Support Little Wings Prince of Wales Childrenrsquos Hospital youth accommodation and many raffl e quilts each year
This year they were fortunate to have a wonderful display of Vintage Quilts these quilts are from the private collection of Kaye and Bruce Brown who own and operate The Finishing Touch quilting business from Glenmore NSW

The Hotel Management Institute (HMI) Challenge took place in March at McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains The Challenge was an inter school competition in hotel management The schools that participated included McCarthy Catholic College Caroline Chisholm College Kingswood High School Glenmore Park High School and Loyola College HMI is based at the Hydro Majestic in Medlow Bath and is part of the group of hotels which include Lillianfels Echoes and Parklands
There were three components to the Challenge A lsquoCook Off rsquo a presentation about HMI and dealing with a complaining customer in a fi ve star hotel Tom Walton of The Bucket List and Channel 10rsquos Ready Steady Cook was unable to attend as a judge and instead his place was taken by International Hospitality Chef and Judge Ralf Brueggar Ralf is the General Manager of the Escarpment Group (Lilianfels Echoes Parklands and the Hydro Majestic) Local MPrsquos Stuart Ayres and Louise Markus were also in attendance
McCarthy Catholic College Master Chef The fi rst Challenge was the lsquoCook Off rsquo and the Hospitality kitchen became a buzz of activity as studentrsquos teams (two students in each team) prepared cooked and presented industry quality meals The meals were beautifully cooked and the judges expressed their appreciation of the taste and hard work that had been put in by the students The students were bubbling over with enthusiasm The tension of the competition created positive excitement
The second Challenge was presented in text through visual and spoken work and was an explanation of what the HMI is These presentations were done through various multi-media Students were required to change from their Hospitality uniforms to professional attire as worn by staff in a hotel The presentations were of a high class and demonstrated the studentrsquos expertise in technology
The third Challenge was to problem solve a hotel management issue This comprised of a complaining hotel guest (in reality it was Glenda Grice from WSI Katoomba) and how her complaint was handled by each team One student was the Housekeeper and the other the Frontline Desk Manager The role plays were really amusing and the complaining guest was handled competently and was given various complementary breakfasts perfumes manicures or gifts
The students learnt a lot about the Hospitality industry fi ve star service within a hotel and how they reacted when under pressure Students really did achieve wonders in all Challenges Another positive aspect of the HMI Challenge was how schools from Catholic and State came together in such a great mannerPrize Winners
1st Madison Pirrone and Sarah Simmons (Caroline Chisholm College) Each winning an iPad 2nd Ellen Storie-Gregory and Brooke Said (McCarthy Catholic College) Each winning $1003rd Petra Henry and Teagan Simpson (Glenmore Park High School) Each winning $50

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury
Nepean Springwood and Blue Mountains Palliative Care and Neonatal wards Blue Mountains Cancer Support Little Wings Prince of Wales Childrenrsquos Hospital youth accommodation and many raffl e quilts each year
This year they were fortunate to have a wonderful display of Vintage Quilts these quilts are from the private collection of Kaye and Bruce Brown who own and operate The Finishing Touch quilting business from Glenmore NSW

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

Anxiety is an unpleasant state of inner turmoil There are several types of anxiety which people can experience the most common ones being Social Anxiety OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Specifi c Phobias GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) amp Panic Disorder For some people anxiety is part of their daily life eg GAD amp OCD whilst for others there are specifi c triggers eg fl ying public speaking etc
Anxiety doesnrsquot have to be severe to prevent you living the life you desire Even mild anxiety can be a roadblock to success in both your personal and working life Anxiety can make the diff erence between passing or failing an exam or being successful or unsuccessful in an interview Anxiety can control your life or you can learn how to control it

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around

veterinary hospital than to host a colouring in competition All entries will be displayed on the walls of the veterinary hospital

The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury
Nepean Springwood and Blue Mountains Palliative Care and Neonatal wards Blue Mountains Cancer Support Little Wings Prince of Wales Childrenrsquos Hospital youth accommodation and many raffl e quilts each year
This year they were fortunate to have a wonderful display of Vintage Quilts these quilts are from the private collection of Kaye and Bruce Brown who own and operate The Finishing Touch quilting business from Glenmore NSW

Using Gearing to Create Wealth
After a period of conservative investment based around term deposits and cash based investments confi dence is returning and investorrsquos mindsets are starting to switch to more aggressive asset classes and more
aggressive strategies One of these strategies is gearingGearing is essentially borrowing to invest This enhances
exposure to the investment and magnifi es both gains and losses The most common gearing strategy is through an investment property but it is also possible to gear into the share markets with products such as margin loans and other geared products
Gearing presents the opportunity to accelerate the wealth creation process but as an aggressive strategy it also carries a high level of risk To be eff ective it is necessary to invest into growth assets usually property or shares These assets have the highest average returns but also on average carry the highest level of volatility Borrowing to increase exposure to these assets presents the opportunities to have profi ts greatly enhanced but volatility is also enhanced It is necessary to have an extremely long investment horizon and investors need a high tolerance to risk It is even more important than normal not to be forced to sell at the bottom of the market
Furthermore it is necessary to have surplus income to meet ongoing borrowing costs This income needs to be secure ensuring the commitment to the geared investment can be maintained long term
All borrowing costs are tax deductible The nature of growth assets see that the bulk of return in capital gain and usually the assets are maintained for more than 12 months This means that usually gearing is a tax eff ective wealth creation strategy
This example demonstrates the power of gearing illustrating that by borrowing funds and increasing exposure to an investment dramatically increases the return on investment
Geared strategies are aggressive strategies and often fast track the wealth creation process However they carry increased risk compared to most other strategies and are not suitable for all investors
If anyone is interested in fi nding out more about investment strategies contact Future Financial Services on 47276588 or visit our website wwwfuturefi nancialservicescomau

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around
Colouring in CompetitionIn 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

Chocolate Dangers at Easter Time
We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolatelots 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
bull Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet
bull Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolatebull Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets
Dogs have a good sense of smell and will fi nd chocolate in kidrsquos schoolbags
bull Distract your pet with their favourite treats while chocolate is around
Colouring in CompetitionIn 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

Would you believe 5 years ago a scant idea to air many quilts has culminated in the 6th airing at The Arms of Australia Inn at Emu Plains
The success of this venture lies at the core of community eff ort The support of the members of the Penrith District Historical Society at The Arms of Australia Inn Museum providing their site and the delicious Devonshire teas the continued eff ort each year by the Lions Club of Emu Plains to do the sausage sizzle and the newest helpers bring The Lower Mountains Menrsquos shed who will help with the hanging of the quilts this shows how a signifi cant community event takes place in our village Storage of the fi nished quilts during the year was supplied by DCC Architects Russell Street Emu Plains
The Caring Hearts Community Quilters acknowledge and give thanks to all the support they have received There are no boundaries that these ladies will not reach out to in time of need they supply the quilts to the 4 local hospitals Hawkesbury
Nepean Springwood and Blue Mountains Palliative Care and Neonatal wards Blue Mountains Cancer Support Little Wings Prince of Wales Childrenrsquos Hospital youth accommodation and many raffl e quilts each year
This year they were fortunate to have a wonderful display of Vintage Quilts these quilts are from the private collection of Kaye and Bruce Brown who own and operate The Finishing Touch quilting business from Glenmore NSW
The Caring Hearts quilts are not made for competition but for comfort of those who are experiencing diffi cult times in health and circumstance
These airings help to fi nance some of the products they need to complete their tasks and to full fi ll needs of othersRefer to our Community Calendar for the full event details
