Dr Andrew Rochford DR ANDREW ROCHFORD • TELEVISION PRESENTER• Dr Andrew Rochford As one of Australia’s most respected media personalities, Andrew Rochford has certainly made a name for himself in recent years. In late 2011, it was announced that Andrew would co-host Channel Ten’s new morning show, Breakfast. The show launched in February 2012 and is a fresh approach to breakfast television. Andrew also currently appears on the popular Channel Ten program The Project. Not only is Andrew recognised as an accomplished television presenter, 2011 saw Andrew enter a new and exciting role of co-hosting Sydney’s Mix 106.5 radio station’s breakfast program, The Brighter Side of Breakfast with Clair Hooper. With his slick intellect, wit and genuinely engaging style, Andrew ensured the breakfast program was always topical and entertaining. Formerly known as the Block Doc, Andrew became known to Australia’s TV viewing public for his stint on the 2004 series of “The Block” with his partner Jamie, where they subsequently won the series. Since appearing on the show, Andrew joined the “What's Good for You” team on the Nine Network as the resident medicine man and human guinea pig. Andrew has also presented on Nine’s, “Waiting Room”, a medical-based factual reality program, a series called “You Saved My Life” as well as narrating and hosting “Amazing Medical Stories”.

It is the combination of Andrew’s unique ability to be sincere yet entertaining, that has earned him a broad appeal with a national audience. Andrew continues to be in high demand as one of Australia’s most popular talent..

Thank you so much to our wonderful Religious Education Students who participated as Readers, Greeters, Altar Preparers, Gift Presenters and Altar Servers: Sigmmond & Nash Antony, Alfina, Penelope, Zarina and Zeke Eull, Ashelyn Tablan, Michael and David Solimondo, Anthony La Firenza, Devyn Rochford, Caitlyn Nicole & Kian Wong, Mary Soto, Brenna Bitcon, Gabby Baluyot, Christopher Foes, Isabella Schwartz, Ariana Henderson, Dean & Nathan Staso, Patrick Babuder, and Anthony and Raymond Biedenbeder. Also, special thanks to our teachers: Barbara Mullen, Jeannie Haworth, Barbara Molina, Robyn Solimando, Yoli Baluyot and Caroline Anthony for all their help at the practice and Mass. We turn the corner and the Advent/Christmas Season is upon us…… Back by popular demand this year! Last week I sent home, with the oldest child, a Liturgical Calendar for each family. It is identical to the ones that are used in the classroom with the children. You will notice that this is no ordinary calendar. It is not organized by months and weeks and days. Instead, it is a circle of Sundays, seasons, and feasts. Each Sunday is represented by a block that is the color of the liturgical season in which the Sunday falls. Noted in the block is the Gospel reading for that Sunday. On the back side of the calendar is some information about St. Matthew. There are many ways to use the calendar during the year, some suggestions are in the Family Guide.

  • Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Inquiry into issues relating to Redfern/Waterloo Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block The terms of reference for the Inquiry require the Committee to examine proposals for the future of the Block. The long-term future of the Block and its residents is a complex issue requiring initiatives to address social and economic disadvantage experienced by the local Aboriginal community. These issues will be examined in the second stage of the Inquiry and will be addressed in the Final Report. This chapter focuses on the future of the Block in terms of the redevelopment of housing. The purpose of the Committee’s examination of this issue is not to decide what the future of the Block is to be, as that must be determined by the Aboriginal Housing Company and the Aboriginal community. Rather, the Committee has sought to gather together the range of views expressed by members of the community and local organisations during this Inquiry, in order to explore the issues surrounding the Aboriginal Housing Company’s Pemulwuy Redevelopment Project and the progress of the redevelopment. This chapter commences with a brief history of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern and Waterloo. History of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern 3.1 ‘The Block’ is the colloquial name for a residential block in Redfern bounded by Louis, Vine, Eveleigh and Caroline Streets. The Block is owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company. A map of the local area is set out as Appendix 4. 3.2 Redfern and the Block in particular, is a place of political, spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people in Sydney and also for Aboriginal people throughout New South Wales and Australia.

    The Moorabool News FREE Your Local News Tuesday 5 November, 2013 Serving Ballan and district since 1872 Phone 5368 1966 Fax 5368 2764 Vol 7 No 43 He’s our man! By Kate Taylor Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell has been voted as Moorabool’s new Mayor. East Ward Councillor John Spain was voted in as Deputy Mayor. Outgoing Mayor Pat Toohey did not re-nominate at the Statutory and Annual Appointments Meeting held last Wednesday 30 October, where Mayor Tatchell won the role with a 5-2 majority. Nominated by East Ward Councillor Allan Comrie, Cr Tatchell gained votes from fellow councillors Comrie, David Edwards, Tonia Dudzik and John Spain. West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan was nominated and voted for by Pat Toohey. New Mayor Tatchell told the meeting he was very fortunate to have been given the privilege of the role. “For former mayor Pat Toohey, to have come on board and then taken on the role of Mayor with four new councillors, he jumped straight in the driver’s seat… and the first few months were very difficult, but he persevered with extreme patience. “And to the experienced councillors we came in contact with from day one, with years of experience, without that, I can’t imagine how a council could have operated with seven new faces. We are incredibly fortunate to have those experienced councillors on board.” Mayor Tatchell also hinted at a vision for more unity in the future. “A bit less of ‘I’ and more of ‘we,’” he said. Deputy Mayor Spain was voted in with votes from councillors Dudzik, Edwards, and Comrie, with Mayor Tatchell not required to cast a vote on a majority decision.
