Far from being the disaster you though~ 1 that 1939 conflagr~tion actually r~generated vast areas of sub-alpine forest.

[email protected] School-Parent Partnership Early this term, I attended the Ensemble Theatre’s Production, Sorting Out Rachel (David Williamson) and later reflected with students on the themes of the Play, offering the following summary: Rachel is a Year 12 student completing her Higher School Certificate... She is extremely rude to her parents, about everything... - she ignores their simple requests for tidiness or assistance around the house - she is slow to be organised in the mornings and insists on being driven to school, so she often makes her mother late for work - she is boastful to her parents about her efforts as a blogger (something she knows they do not really understand) and we later learn she has only a handful of followers, but she prefers to blog than study Rachel tells her parents that if they want her to get outstanding HSC results, they should leave her alone, expect nothing of her in terms of responsibility at home, bring her meals to her room, ‘leave her alone’... - When the boy Rachel likes a lot, decides to take Rachel’s friend to the Formal (the event she hoped he would ask her to attend), she posts appalling social media stories about the other girl’s behaviour - anonymously... The audience cringes a lot, in the early stages of the Play, when Rachel is on stage. However, the transformation (sorting out) of Rachel, largely inspired by new expectations set by her grandfather and mother, is heart-warming to behold.
