The Appointments Mums Keep Putting Off (And How to Finally Book Them)

The calendar on the fridge is full of other people’s health. The six-week checks, the immunisations, the dentist for the eight year old, the optometrist because someone is squinting at the whiteboard. Somewhere on that calendar, almost never, is you.

Here are the appointments that slide the furthest, and why they deserve a spot on the fridge. The five-yearly test four in ten of us are behind on Cervical screening…

Why Film and Drama Is About So Much More Than Acting

When people hear the words film and drama, they often picture children learning lines or performing on a stage.

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…
