Enrol your children in a sport this winter that keeps you warm and fit

With winter fast approaching, leading swim school Kingswim is highlighting the importance of why  swimming lessons should be a top priority, even when it’s cold outside.   For many children, finding availability with swim centres during summer has been tough due to  long wait lists and density caps.   Kingswim area manager, Anne Brown, says that after potentially missing out on summer lessons,  the cooler months provide a great opportunity for parents to take advantage of quieter lesson  enrollment periods.  “While swimming lessons should be a priority all year round, families who are yet to re-enroll or  enroll for the first time,…

CLEVER FOX EDUCATION…THOROUGHNESS IN TUITION

To many of us, one tutoring college is pretty much the same as another. Think again!

With her multiple qualifications and wide experience, Amber personally ensures that each student is treated sensitively, as an individual, with his /her own needs and aspirations. Whether tuition is in regard to selective high school entrance, scholarship…

Monday’s Local Mum, Lauren Briggs

Hi, my name is Lauren Briggs and I am a children’s book author and illustrator.  I find so much inspiration for my storytelling and drawings from the surrounding beaches, parks and wildlife.  My new children’s book, Little Pago is about an endangered sea turtle who mistakes floating plastic for some of his favourite food.  I hope that Little Pago will inspire our next generation to turn the tide on plastic pollution and empower our children to value and protect our marine life and oceans.
