This was backed up by a 1st overall result and another Half Marathon PB in the Penrith Half. Is there any stopping our Club Champion??? We eagerly await his results from Melbourne where Brendan will represent NSW in the Marathon. John Dawlings has been busy coordinating the Balmain Fun Runs to be held on Sunday October 31. Let’s hope we see a great turnout of Woodstock members both competing and helping out on the day. We were shocked to hear of Roy’s bypass surgery followed three days later by more surgery to install a pacemaker. Roy is now at a friend’s home and recovery is progressing well. We wish you the very best, Roy and we’re assuming there will be some great runs coming up following your complete recovery. Also on the sick list was Emmanuel Chandran who was admitted to hospital with a severe bout of food poisoning. You won’t be eating at that venue again, will you, Emmanuel.

  • Garigal National Park
    GARIGAL NATIONAL PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service As amended in December 2013 A plan of management for Garigal National Park was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 24 November 1998. Amendments to the plan were adopted by the Minister on 9 December 2013. This plan combines the 1998 plan with the amendments adopted in 2013. Acknowledgements This plan is based on a draft plan prepared by staff of the Field Services Division and the North Metropolitan District of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service with the assistance of Service specialist staff and the former Davidson Park State Recreation Area Trust. Crown Copyright 2013 Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment ISBN 978 1 74359 324 0 OEH 2013/0789 FOREWORD Garigal National Park covers over 2000 hectares of bushland in northern Sydney. It comprises the valley of Middle Harbour Creek and its tributaries, the slopes along the northern side of Middle Harbour as far as Bantry Bay and part of the catchment of Narrabeen Lakes. Garigal National Park has a wide variety of vegetation, and serves as a refuge for native plants and animals including many threatened and uncommon species. It also includes several significant Aboriginal sites and historic places, including the Bantry Bay explosives magazine complex. This makes it an important area for environmental education. It is also an important recreational resource and provides the opportunity for experiencing “the bush” close to the centre of Sydney. This plan of management will ensure that important natural and cultural heritage of Garigal National Park will be conserved.

Year 7-10 final assessments Currently students are busy completing final assessment tasks for each subject. Many of these are in class tests (examinations). If your child is unsure about any aspect of a task, they should ask their classroom teacher for assistance. If your child is experiencing high levels of anxiety about these tasks, please contact the relevant year adviser for assistance. It is normal for students to experience some stress, please be aware that we just want each child to perform to their best and experience growth in the subject specific skills. Parents can find dates for assessments on the school calendar and formal notifications for tasks on the Parent Portal in the home- work section. If your child is experiencing cold or flu symptoms please keep them home, get them tested for Covid and email a negative result to the school office before returning to school. Please email the class teacher and ar- rangements can be made to make-up the assessment task without penalty.

The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. Announcements THOUGHT LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST The SPEAKER: I inform the House that we had two outstanding leaders of Indigenous heritage at our Thought Leadership breakfast this morning. I thank all those members who attended that event. In particular I thank our guest speakers: Tanya Denning-Allman, the director of Indigenous content at SBS, and Benson Saulo, the incoming Consul-General to the United States, based in Houston. I thank both of them and note we will have another event in November. [Notices of motions given.] Bills STRONGER COMMUNITIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Mark Speakman, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr MARK SPEAKMAN (Cronulla—Attorney General, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence) (09:46:44): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Stronger Communities Legislation Amendment (Domestic Violence) Bill 2020 introduces amendments to support procedural improvements and to close gaps in the law that have become apparent. Courts can be a daunting place for victims of domestic and family violence. The processes can be overwhelming. Domestic violence is a complex crime like no other because of the intimate relationships between perpetrators and victims. Those close personal connections intertwine complainants and defendants in ways that maintain a callous grip on victims. This grip can silence reports of abuse, delay reports when victims are brave enough to come forward, and intimidate victims to discontinue cooperating with prosecutions.
