  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Elise and the Gold Gloop by S.B. Davies S.B
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Elise and the Gold Gloop by S.B. Davies S.B. Davies. At the age of six, my daughter was a good reader for her age, but refused to start reading “proper books” with chapters and no pictures. She was bored with “Horrid Henry” and fairies saving a rainbow yet once more and insisted that she was old enough to read proper books, but every one she tried was “too difficult”. It wasn’t she couldn’t read them, it was the concepts and storylines; they were all designed for nine and ten year olds. There was another problem too. She wanted to read about girls, yet all the books about girls we could find were twee and dull. My daughter is happy to read about a princess, along as she is a Ninja Princess; happy to save rainbows, as long as it involves a good sword fight or perhaps a well-planned heist. After a few months of this, my lovely daughter stopped reading. We tried most of the “first chapter books” that people recommend; all met with disinterest. So I asked her exactly what she wanted in a “proper book”. After much though, she wrote down: “Dragons, princess, zombies, vampires, ghosts, but not spiders and it should be funny and scary and have fighting in it.” We couldn’t find such a book with concepts and vocabulary suitable for a six year old – so I wrote one. I had written novels before, but not a children’s book, so I had help from my daughter to find the right level.

These are important evenings for the boys, families and staff of this level. All students who attend our College are first and foremost young men of Whitefriars. We want every boy who enters our gates each day to be free to be themselves, participate in the life of the College and feel supported along the way. That is why having a strong sense of connection is such an important resilience factor for adolescents. This sense of connection extends into each of the Houses to which the boys belong. Year 7 students are learning about life through their own experience and through the words and deeds of older boys. It was lovely to see these older students at each of our House Mass and Dinner gatherings so far. They have presented themselves in a very gentle and assured way. These evenings are also a good opportunity to hear from parents about how their sons have transitioned to Whitefriars from their various primary school settings. We have been very pleased with the comments heard to date.

  • Gippsland Power Last Injury Before and While Dealing with the Initial Shock Week
    VFL Round 5 TAC Cup Round 6 7 - 8 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Exciting time in women’s football The future is bright in women’s football and full of opportunities. Over the last week the next generation of female footballers have taken to the field in the annual Youth Girls National Championships. The Grand Final was played Friday night as a curtain- raiser to the Richmond vs Hawthorn AFL game at the MCG, and fingers crossed we saw a Victorian team holding aloft the Championship trophy at the end of the game. Whatever the result though, in a few years’ time names like Katherine Smith, Izzy Huntington, Georgina Walker and Lily Mithen are likely to be names we hear called on a regular basis at venues like the MCG in the national women’s league. Anticipation has been at fever pitch over recent weeks with AFL clubs confirming their intentions to apply for a licence, with an AFL women’s competition set to kick off in early 2017. Submissions closed at the end of April and it was pleasing to see the coverage given to the host of applications in the lead-up to the deadline. Victoria will field the most teams of any state, which will be just reward for those local players that are draft ed to the yet-to-be-determined teams in our state. While they wait, it is the fans that get to enjoy these players week in, week out in our VFL Women’s and VWFL competitions before they become household names across Australia.

  • One of the Boys: the (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career
    One of the Boys: The (Gendered) Performance of My Football Career Ms. Kasey Symons PhD Candidate 2019 The Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities (ISILC), Victoria University, Australia. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract: This PhD via creative work comprises an exegesis (30%) and accompanying novel, Fan Fatale (70%), which seek to contribute a creative and considered representation of some women who are fans of elite male sports, Australian Rules football in particular. Fictional representations of Australian Rules football are rare. At the time of submission of this thesis, only three such works were found that are written by women aimed to an older readership. This project adds to this underrepresented space for women writing on, and contributing their experiences to, the culture of men’s football. The exegesis and novel creatively addresses the research question of how female fans relate to other women in the sports fan space through concepts of gender bias, performance, and social surveillance. Applying the lens of autoethnography as the primary methodology to examine these notions further allows a deeper, reflexive engagement with the research, to explore how damaging these performances can be for the relationships women can have to other women. In producing this exegesis and accompanying novel, this PhD thesis contributes a new and creative way to explore the gendered complications that surround the sports fan space for women. My novel, Fan Fatale, provides a narrative which raises questions about the complicit positions women can sometimes occupy in the name of fandom and conformity to expected gendered norms.
