    REDEEMER news NEWSLETTER TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF REDEEMER BAPTIST SCHOOL Greetings to all parents, guardians and friends! What a wonderful Easter Chapel service we had at School led by Year 12 reading the Easter story from the Gospel of John. The singing from the whole School was inspira- tional, supported so ably by our instrument group. It was wonderful that so many parents and family members could Term 1 Issue 1 share this occasion with us. April 2016 The purpose of this newsletter is to review the term that is almost over and to let you know some important dates for the first half of Term 2. TERM ONE IN REVIEW Parent/Guardian Information Nights Your feedback on these occasions was that we have been able to convey the School expectations and guidelines in supporting learning at home. The attendance this year was very good. We see these occa- sions as vital in creating the link between School and home. The Senior Hospitality students excelled in catering for us on all these occasions. I am sure you will agree! Module Two (Years 9 & 10) School Camp What a varied week with the most magnificent weather on the South Coast. Our students were able to complete field trips for Geography, Science, Business and Commerce, as well as strenuous activities such as climbing Pigeon House Mountain and canoeing the Clyde River from Nelligen to Batemans Bay. One of the field trips was a visit to a dairy farm where all the cows are milked by robots! This is a new project in the Nowra district and an amazing application of current technology to agriculture.

    NPA Bulletin Matronal Parks Association ACT Vol.20 No. 3 March 1983 $1.00 Registered by Australia Post • Publication No NBH0857 ISSN 0727-8837 YEAR OF THE TREE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION AWARD PICTURE PRESIDENT'S FOREWORD The Future of the Gudgenby Nature Reserve During January a fire burnt out more than half the Gudgenby Nature Reserve and part of the Cotter valley. In a period of two weeks most of the southern section of the Reserve including the whole of the Kelly wilderness area was consumed. The long drought and hot summer eventually took its toll of the Reserve. We know from past experience that periodic fires are one of the natural forces which have shaped the Australian bush and helped to produce our distinctive flora. This realisation does not, however, lessen the shock in seeing the Reserve blackened and burnt, seemingly stripped of all life forms. With rain the Reserve will recover and the mountain slopes and plains will again; be covered in their distinctive trees, shrubs and wild-flowers. As we wait for nature to take its course let us use this opportunity to take stock of the problems facing the future management of the Reserve so that we can make a fresh approach to the solution of some of the problem areas. One of the questions which must be addressed fairly quickly is the future of the Gudgenby pine plantation; the fire largely destroyed this plantation and it probably now has little or no commercial value. The remains of the plantation should be removed and the area allowed to regenerate naturally.

Box 150, Canberra, A.C.T. 2E01 Registered by Australia Post; Publication number NSH 1859 VOLUME 24 JANUARY 1987 NUMBER 1 Concerning Conservation The three Canberra Eushwalking Club delegates. Patrick. David and myself attended the last Conservation Council meeting on November the 24th. An obvious area of concern is the great amount of work for. Council to do and the limited number of people available to work on the issues. Some responsibility does lie with club members to help support the workings of the Council as the Canberra Bushwalking Club has been a member of the Conservation Council of the South East Region and Canberra for many years. Areas where Club members could direct their energies are: 1/ Assistance with the Kingsley Street Markets on the first Sunday of every month. This involves at most a few hours on the morning of the market helping to direct store-holders, set up tables and help with refreshments. Contact Chris Scott 477808. 2/ The urban planning working group is currently focusing on Civic's transport problems and the Murrumbidgee corridor plan. It sounds as if they could do with some more support in presenting conservation considerations to the NCDC. etc. Contact Chris Lawrence 467243(w). 3/ The forestry working group is putting a great deal of effort into the anti-woodchip struggle. This is in response to Harris-Daishowa's recent request for an extension to its woodchip licence until 2009 at the rate of 900.000 tonnes per year. Access to public and private forests from Ulladulla.
