September 9 School holds Reading Olympics By Megan Sida, Learning & Support Teacher

Our school held our very own “Reading Olympics” this term to coincide with the Tokyo Olympic Games. Due to Home Learning, we held a very special “online” opening ceremony which featured one of our house captains, Hunter, as well as our former student and Helensburgh’s very own Olympian Saya Sakakibara. Saya very kindly filmed a special guest appearance for our students from the Olympic Village in Tokyo. Throughout our Reading Olympics each student represented one of seven countries including Australia, Fiji, The Netherlands, France, Japan, Italy, and Greece. These countries were chosen as there are students from these cultural backgrounds attending our school. Students earned one point for their country for every book they read. They could also compete in team events and participate in a We love Saya! weekly Reading Challenge to earn bonus points The town is very proud of the BMX star for their country. Our students have enjoyed participating in Helensburgh showed its love for our Olympic this fun school event to embrace home reading athlete in a time-honoured town tradition last and we would like to thank all the families for month.

And the town then held its collective breath on July 30 when Saya’s Olympic campaign came to an abrupt end as a result of her semi-final crash on the final turn in the track. Medical personnel stretchered Saya off the track with concussion symptoms, but she was later medically cleared. “This is so disappointing,” Saya said in the aftermath of the crash. “I feel like I have let everyone down. I let everyone down, especially my brother.” Saya’s brother Kai, suffered permanent brain damage last year as a result of a serious race crash. Kai, who was in Tokyo to support his sister and take part in the torch relay for the Paralympic Games, told reporters after Saya’s crash that he was “really proud” of his sister. “Let’s go prepare for the next one [race],” he said. Helensburgh and district – and all of Australia – is very proud of our BMX champion! As this issue went to press, Saya had announced that she would not compete in the UCI BMX World Championships in Papendal, Netherlands as she focusses on recovering fully from injuries sustained in her Olympics crash. 2508 10 September Supported by and with thanks to Ian Pepper, of Ray White Helensburgh

BANKSIA BUSH CARE’S Tree of the Month By Stanwell Park’s Kieran Tapsell Acacia binervata (Two-veined Hickory) The first column in this series dealt with the coastal wattle, Acacia longifolia, which is a small to medium-size shrub that is salt tolerant and grows very well along sand dunes. Acacia binervata, whose common name is two-veined hickory, grows along the east coast, from Narooma on the NSW South Coast to Mt Tambourine in Southern state and there is so much weed material that Queensland, and as far west as Mittagong.

September 21 Eyesore or Coalcliff’s old cokeworks. opportunity? Photo: Ben Wollen By architect Ben Wollen

Most of you are probably curious about the incongruous industrial plants perched in the hidden valley behind Coalcliff. Visible only from the train or the escarpment, with vaulting steel structures set amid lush forest, it feels like you’re looking at some Hollywood blockbuster set for Jurassic Park or Jumanji. Many people might consider it an eyesore. Many would see it as a symbol of the errors we have made on this planet by exhuming its fossil fuels. I think it is a unique part of our landscape that not only connects the area to its industrial past, but also lends character to the Northern Illawarra. Since the closure of the coking plant though, I’ve felt despondent that the owner is letting it fall into a state of disrepair and neglect. Believe it or not, I actually visited the coking plant when it was in operation. Prior to picking up I say embrace it. The coking plant and its remaining the architecture bug, I was an environmental infrastructure should be converted into a consultant and one of my specialties was testing recreational park. stacks (industry speak for the big chimneys There are excellent precedents for this over the belching out pollution).

Most of the concern raised by locals The masterplan for the site was drawn up in was fear of an application for a large housing estate 2002 by world-renowned architect Rem Koolhaas. to be built on the site.

So far their only comment has been that What I like about the park is that it has kept all most of the site will be left over for so-called of the old infrastructure, preserved it and allowed “bio-banking” and only some suitable areas the public to access it.

Discover local stories By Local Studies librarian Jo Oliver

“From the Ground Up” is the theme for History Week, 4-12 September. The local land has been a place of deep connection for Aboriginal people, a source of industrial wealth and prime real estate. You can learn about all these aspects of our local history through the online resources of Wollongong Libraries Local Studies Collection (visit www.wollongong. nsw.gov.au/library/explore-our-past). You can look at past and present maps of the area, images, listen to oral histories, read about the history of your suburb, explore your family history. Everyone has a story History Week marks the launch of ‘Aboriginal Community Members Stories’, a new section in Illawarra Stories, the libraries’ oral history project. The cultural boundaries of the local Aboriginal community extend beyond the Wollongong LGA. People have connections to La Perouse, the south coast of NSW and other places in Australia. With libraries closed, our Croker Island exhibition has been put on pause, but you can now watch the documentary for free, from home! Croker Island Exodus is a documentary based on the journey that 95 Aboriginal children undertook to escape the threat of WWII before settling in Otford. Learn more about this important time in local history by viewing the documentary at 30 September https://vimeo.com/489244295/272234cb74 Many thanks to the filmmakers for allowing us to bring this documentary to you. Delve into your ancestry During the current lockdown the library’s subscriptions to Ancestry.com and Find My Past can be used from home through the library website for free.

This is a great activity for children studying from home or teachers to make as an online class activity. Students chose an image from the library catalogue of a place that is special to them, then photograph or draw what it looks like now, research its history and write about how they imagine its future. There is prize money to win for the student and their school. The closing date is 17 September.
