National Walk Safely to School Day is a community initiative that aims to raise awareness of the health, road safety, transport and environmen- tal benefits that regular walking (especially to and from school) can pro- vide for the long term health of our children. The annual event, now in its 15th year, encourages primary school aged children to walk to and from school, not just on Friday 23 May, but every day. Harold Scruby, Chairman and CEO of the Pedestrian Council of Australia said that unless teachers, parents, carers and the community generally get behind this event and its objectives, the outlook for Australia’s children is not good. “The childhood obesity epidemic has reached such critical levels in Australia, that 1 in 4 children are now overweight or obese. Unless there are significant changes to physical activity and diet, this is expected to reach 1 in 3 by 2020. “Children require at least 60 minutes per day of physical activity – and regular walking is the best exercise for all of us,” he said. Children are encouraged to lead a more active lifestyle by including a walk at the beginning, during and end of each day. The event also pro- motes improved diets, positive environmental action, better use of public transport with reduced car-dependency and important road safety mes- sages such as “children aged 10 years or under must always hold the hand of an adult’s hand when crossing the road,” said Mr Scruby. To support the day and encourage ongoing healthy behaviour, a fun and free interactive App is available to help keep the motivation up within families and schools. It measures the distances children walk, their aver- age speeds, maps and even allows schools to view scoreboards of their students’ walking achievements.

  • Better Support for the Arts in Canberra
    2 BETTER SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS IN CANBERRA The ACT Budget 2017-18 provides better support for Canberra’s thriving arts sector. The Budget invests in arts facilities right across our city, including the Ainslie Arts Centre, Gorman House Arts Centre, Strathnairn, Tuggeranong Arts Centre and Watson Arts Centre. The Government will also deliver on our commitment to invest in stage 2 of the Belconnen Arts Centre, with $15 million allocated to the project. This Budget will also deliver important funding for arts projects and arts events to provide greater certainty in arts project funding and support a vibrant calendar of events. We are ensuring that there will be $750,000 invested in arts projects. We are also ensuring that all Canberrans enjoy the investment the Government is making in the arts community by supporting a number of arts events in Canberra throughout the year, including Art, Not Apart, DESIGN Canberra and the Canberra Writers Festival. The Budget contains a $21.6 million package for the Arts over four years. Better arts facilities across the Territory The Budget is investing $16.3 million over four years into upgrading and expanding our arts centres and facilities across the city, including: • $15 million over three years for the expansion of Belconnen Arts Centre.

These upgrades will include a multi-use town hall/performance space, new dance studios and an expanded exhibition space; • $880,000 over four years in upgrades to five arts centres across the Territory – Ainslie Arts Centre, Gorman House Arts Centre, Strathnairn, Tuggeranong Arts Centre and Watson Arts Centre; • $280,000 to upgrade the Canberra Museum and Gallery (CMAG) with more secure, efficient and modern lighting; and • $100,000 for community consultation on upgrades to Canberra Theatre and performing arts infrastructure.

  • President's Annual Report – 2013-14
    President’s Annual Report Christopher Watson (August 2014)– 2013-14 Your Committee Team Thanks to you all, especially our Secretary, John Connelly, for his meticulous minutes. Our treasurer, Doug Finlayson, not only keeps our finances in good shape, but also regularly writes a ‘Park Update’ with great pictures (these articles have also been printed in the magazines of the ACT National Parks Association and National Trust). The help of Vice President, Brian Rhynehart, and also Vena Murray, was much appreciated. Darryl Seto, our webmaster, ensures information goes far and wide! Darryl is also organising an art exhibition to be staged at the Belconnen Arts Centre in 2015. Our Patron, Dr Bryan Pratt, was ever willing to have a chat and give advice; we now look forward to advice from our new Co-Patron, Meredith Hunter. We’ve had deputations a-plenty, namely, ACT Assembly Members, Yvette Berry, Mary Porter, Mick Gentleman, Shane Rattenbury and Alistair Coe; also Federal Members, Andrew Leigh MHR, Senator Zed Seselja and Angus Taylor MHR. There have been continuing contacts and help, from the ACT National Trust, ACT National Parks Association, Ginninderra Catchment Group, Belconnen Community Council and the Conservation Council; also, frequent meetings with local landowner and developer, David Maxwell, who is the director of Riverview (Projects) Pty Ltd National Park Investigations As a result of our urging, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service in 2013 assessed 274 ha in the area centred on Ginninderra Falls and near the Murrumbidgee River – Ginninderra Creek confluence. Their report, received by us in November 2013, acknowledged the area’s “conservation and recreational opportunities”, but unfortunately, said that it was “not a priority for purchase”.

    [Grab your reader’s attention with a great quote from the document or use this space to emphasize a key point. To place this text box anywhere on the page, just drag it.] Released 19 September 2020. Updated 14 October 2020 1 Foreword from Chief Minister Andrew Barr In these uncertain times, ACT Labor has the right plan to support Canberra and protect local jobs. We understand that a large part of our job, is to protect your job. ACT Labor has always recognised that employment means more than putting food on the table and being able to pay the rent or mortgage. It provides meaning, structure, connection and opportunity in people’s lives. That’s why our plan is to grow Canberra’s employment base to 250,000 jobs by 2025, as part of our economic recovery. ACT Labor is progressive, experienced and has a strong track record of delivering on our promises. We built a network of five nurse-led walk-in centres to provide free healthcare, where and when you need it. We delivered Stage 1 of our city-wide light rail network, on time and on budget. We’ve built new schools and continued to upgrade the schools we know and love. Our city is now powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity, which is driving down energy bills. We delivered a green waste bin to every household that wanted one. Despite the bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic, the ACT still has the strongest labour market and lowest unemployment rate in the nation. The Canberra economy remains resilient, but we will keep working with local businesses to give them confidence to invest and hire.

    Newsletter Week 5 Term 2 Friday 24 May 2019 Year 10 student Michael Dingo at National Sorry Day assembly, Friday 24 May 2019 In this issue BGSGrammar Newsletter in Concert| Lead Article Public Purpose BGS Snowsports Headmaster Anthony Micallef Today at Senior Assembly, BGS recognised National Sorry Day. The significant occasion acknowledges and recognises members of the Stolen Generation and provides our Indigenous students with an opportunity to share their stories with the BGS community. Year 10 boarder Michael Dingo, whose homeland is 1000km north of Perth, began the assembly by sharing his story. Read more about the important event in the story immediately following by Director of Student Wellbeing, Philippa Douglas. May has been home to our cultural season for many years now. The School has a proud tradition of both participation and excellence in the arts. The boys participate enthusiastically in the Music, Drama and Art programs, learning important life skills like self-discipline, teamwork, confidence, resilience, imagination and creativity. On Sunday, we had the pleasure of being entertained by our most talented musicians and marvelled at the expertise and engagement of our Music staff. Grammar in Concert showcased our finest musical ensembles in an event titled Rhythm and Soul. As is the case each year, I was in awe of the boys’ craftsmanship, the professionalism of Music staff and the selfless contribution of the Music Support Group. The combined efforts of these three groups provided those in attendance with a beautiful demonstration of the importance of the arts in any boy’s educational journey. I want to thank Head of Music, Mr Peter Ingram for his stewardship of the event; Ms Miranda Ward for her administration; the Music Support Group for their commitment; St Laurence’s College for allowing use of their Performing Arts Centre; and, most importantly, the boys of BGS and girls from BGGS for providing us with a wonderful afternoon of entertainment.
