Why Film and Drama Is About So Much More Than Acting

30/06/2026

When people hear the words film and drama, they often picture children learning lines or performing on a stage. While that’s certainly part of it, what we see every week at Bondi Performing Arts is something much bigger. Drama gives children the chance to imagine, create, collaborate and problem-solve. It encourages them to speak with confidence, think creatively, work as a team and discover that their ideas have value. Bondi Performing Arts began just over two years ago with one small class. Since then, we’ve grown to four weekly classes for children and teenagers, with plans to introduce a specialised class…

When “busy” stops explaining it properly

27/06/2026

Modern motherhood gets called busy, but that word is starting to feel useless. What it actually looks like is a constant internal tab system that never closes. Even when you are sitting still, nothing is fully switched off in your head. Someone needs shoes. That email hasn’t been replied to. School notice came through. Work deadline shifted. Dinner is half planned while you are still finishing lunch. Then something else lands and replaces the last thing. None of it is dramatic on its own. That is the point. It is the accumulation that does the damage. There is a term…

10 Simple Sleep Tips Every Busy Mum Should Know

26/06/2026

If you’re a mum, chances are you’ve become an expert at putting everyone else’s needs before your own. Between school lunches, work deadlines, sports practice, housework, homework, meal planning and trying to keep the family organised, it’s easy for sleep to become an afterthought. Many mums don’t struggle because they don’t want to sleep—they struggle because life simply gets in the way. Perhaps you’ve finally tucked the kids into bed and it’s the first quiet moment you’ve had all day. Instead of going straight to sleep, you stay up watching television or scrolling through social media because it feels like…

The Honest Guide to School Holiday Care for Parents Who Want More Than Just Babysitting

26/06/2026

School holidays arrive with a particular kind of dual energy. There’s the genuine excitement of a break from routine, and then there’s the logistical reality of six weeks of school-free days that need to be navigated around work schedules, commitments, and the creeping awareness that screens and boredom are not a sustainable combination for anyone in the household. For working parents, holiday care is often less a choice than a necessity. But the difference between holiday care that simply fills the hours and holiday care that genuinely enriches the break is significant enough to be worth thinking about before the…

What Is Infrared Fitness? Why J.I.M Members Feel the Difference

25/06/2026

At Joy In Movement (J.I.M), we are all about movement that feels good, fits your life and supports your wellbeing long-term. The thing that ties all of that together is infrared technology. Infrared fitness classes use gentle, heat-based technology to warm your body directly from the inside out, rather than just heating the air around you. The heat reaches deep into your muscles and joints, which is why a J.I.M class feels warm and supportive rather than the harsh, suffocating heat you might expect from a sauna. Our studios are heated to 40 degrees, warm enough to do real work,…
