Educators are taking up these challenges and initiatives in areas such as online learning, through learning towns and cities, in learning circles,in new approaches to curriculum and revised approaches to community development. These are all examples of positive responses. AN ADULT'S EDUCATION AND LEARNING JOURNEY CAN BE Yet we still lack in Australia a cohesive and integrated national policy that can UNPREDICTABLE.

  • Purchase by Woolworths of Hawker
    Friends of HAWKER Village Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Woolworths Limited – proposed acquisition of the Supa IGA supermarket in Hawker, ACT Executive Summary • The major national supermarket firms (Woolworths and Coles) face effective competition in the local area from each other and Aldi along the dimension of price. SupaIGA, however, is the only supermarket currently providing effective competition to those majors along the dimension of grocery choice and locational accessibility and convenience. • The proposed sale will substantially lessen the competition currently provided in the latter dimensions, which are known to be very important to the local population. • We submit that the proposed acquisition should not go ahead. WHO ARE WE? The Friends of Hawker Village is a community association established by local residents on 26 June 2010. Its aims are to enhance the residential, suburban, social and environmental qualities of the Hawker catchment area, through participation, in a non-political environment, by community discussion on and input to planning and land management in the ACT as it impacts on local residents, including through advocacy to the ACT and Commonwealth Governments, and advocacy to and representation before tribunals and courts. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HAWKER SHOPS Residential sites in Hawker started being released in 1971. Belconnen consisted then of Aranda, Cook, Macquarie, Page, Scullin, Higgins, Weetangera and Hawker. The main shopping centre for these suburbs was the Jamison Plaza. A map provided about 1971 (on next page) showed the following design for the proposed Hawker shopping centre. The current shops are located on section 33, just south of Belconnen Way.

  • Rotary International
    ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THE FIRST FORTY YEARS. A HISTORY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF BELCONNEN A.C.T. INCORPORATED. Authors: Past President John Sheldrick Past President Peter Oldham 2 Historical Note from the Authors This history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen Inc. was researched and developed in two parts and hence the ‗Forward‘ comprising input from two Presidents and the Charter President. The first part was commissioned by the then President Warren Karle in his Rotary year, 2007-2008, and comprised most of Part One – The Formative Years. The second was commissioned by President Rod Menzies in his Rotary year, 2010-2011 as a means of recognising in some small way the 40th Anniversary of the Club. We hope that this publication will give another strong indication that the impact the Rotary Club of Belconnen has had, not only on the local community, but nationally and indeed internationally. The camaraderie, fellowship and contribution of all members over the years are quite amazing. We trust you find it a good read. John Sheldrick Peter Oldham Past President Past President 3 Foreword John Sheldrick and Peter Oldham have devoted many hours in compiling this history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen. It has required much research into early records, and has resulted in a very readable and comprehensive account of the formation of one of the most successful clubs in the district. We were chartered as ‗Rotary Club of Canberra – Belconnen‘ in 1971. This was a very exciting time in the development of Belconnen. Charter members were mostly new to Canberra, in new jobs, living in new houses in new suburbs.

  • STEP Newsletter December 2020 from the President
    STEP Newsletter December 2020 Forest 20 on a Thursday with our volunteers hard at work From the President As we approach the end of 2020, we have much to reflect on. The excessive heat and lack of rain at the start of the year was followed by downpours, hail, COVID-19 and an extremely wet Spring, each producing its own challenges. I have much admiration for the resilience of STEPpers who willingly hop into tasks, whether these are routine, repetitive, arduous, or challenging. Thank you all for your hard work, friendship, and cheerfulness. The 2020-2030 Strategic Plan has been printed. The extensive consultative process to bring this project to fruition was managed expertly by David Shorthouse who deserves our heartfelt thanks for his vision and drive. Mariana Rollgejser was responsible for the design and layout of the publication and her talent has given us a very beautiful and professional document (see photos). The Memorandum of Understanding between STEP and NAC has been provided to NAC administration for comment and we hope that this can be signed off at the annual Volunteers Evening on Monday 14 December. Photo, David Shorthouse and Judy Smith at work on the Strategic Plan, photo Lainie Shorthouse On 26 November we held our AGM. Committee positions are Judy Smith President, David Shorthouse Vice-President, Ross Dalton Treasurer, Elizabeth Minchin Secretary, Andy Russell Publications and Membership Officer, and general committee members Bill Handke, Jennie Widdowson, Jane Cottee, Terry Murphy, and Georgie Till. We extend a warm welcome to Georgie as a new appointment. Special thanks must go to Andy Russell for all his work providing a monthly sheet of what is in flower at Forest 20, his production of the newsletters, his management of our memberships and his enthusiastic promotion of STEP at many events and venues.
