The jumping castles proved popular with the children at the Taste of Channel evening at Channel Christian School, held on Friday, March 19. (PS) Principal Margaret Louw said this year, keeping in line with COVID-19 restrictions, a decision was made to replace the regular fair with a smaller celebration. “Building a strong connected community is impor- tant for us and the Twilight Fair is one way to do this,” said Mrs Louw. “With the cancellation of the event we came up with an alternative. “It was decided to hold a Harmony Day event for our school community. “What better way to celebrate the wonderful cultur- al diversity of the school than with a unique food-tast- ing experience.” The event was titled Taste of Channel and held on the evening of Friday, March 19. Parents and teachers from a range of cultural back- grounds, brought food to share with the school commu- nity. “It was wonderful to see the variety of cultures rep- resented and for so many people to come together and celebrate what we have common,” said Mrs Louw. “Celebrating Harmony Day and building community in this way created opportunities to focus on the strengths, beauty and diversity found amongst our Channel Christian School Kindergarten Aide Elissa Goodfellow and Year 1/2 Teacher Theresa Stephenson applied collective creativity in the spirit of families.” Harmony Week from March 15 to 21.

Blend ingredients together until a dough forms. 2. Press into a slice tin. 3. Mark with fork for decoration on top. 4. Place in oven at 160 degrees celsius and cook for 45 to 60 minutes. 5.

H17194 H18186 Kingborough Chronicle Sport TUESDAY, 13 APRIL 2021 Lions Den upgrades

Among many pre-election promises being made is investment in key football facility upgrades, including Lightwood Park in Kingston. The upgrades are intended to deliver better facilities for participants and spectators and increase participation in community sport. Specifically with regards to football, there is an aim to improve Tasmania’s chance host base camps for inter- national sides during the Women’s World Cup in 2023, further helping to showcase Tasmania and inspire women and girls to play the World Game. A total investment of $10 million would be directed to four facilities across the state, with Lightwood Park being the only southern facility to be improved. Candidate for Franklin, Dean Young said Lightwood Park is arguably one of the best facilities in Tasmania, catering for a huge range of sports and a growing community. Fellow candidate, Member for Franklin Nic Street said Lightwood Park was included in the $10 million upgrades as a key location for football. “In Southern Tasmania, we will deliver new changerooms and clubrooms at Kingston’s Lightwood Park, to ensure the facilities here can continue to meet the growing demand as more kids and adults take up this popular sport.” Lightwood Park is home to the Kingborough Lions United Football Club (KLUFC) which has 552 registered players, making it the largest club in Southern Tasmania. KLUFC President Brian Downes said the club has been working closely with Football Tasmania and the State Government for sometime and would be very grateful if the funding goes ahead. “I would like to acknowledge the work and contribution by Liberal MPs Jacquie Petrusma and Nic Street for their tremendous assistance and support,” said Mr Downes. Thursday’s Division 5 Grand Final winners (back row) Michael Cawthorn, Anne Palmer, Helena Harris, Doreen Thompson, Ray Palmer, (front row) Jean “Of course we are waiting for the Labor Party to at least match the announcement made by the government, as Hemmings, Sally Bowes, Maureen Hynes and Carleen Crane proudly displayed their medals. (PS) we have also been working closely with our Labor State MPs for Franklin, David O’Byrne and Alison Standen, who like Jacquie and Nic are great friends and support- ers of the club.
