Go pink to say no to bullying The Upper Hunter Youth Council is hosting a Pink Shirt Day on Tuesday, 13 March 2018 to bring awareness to bullying in schools, workplaces and generally life. Approximately one in four year 4 to year 9 Australian students report being bullied every few weeks, or more often during the last term of school. That means that 27% of students in those school years may not be enjoying their school life and that number is too high. The Youth Council is encouraging schools and local businesses to support this great cause. Donations to local charity, Where there’s a Will, will be collected at Upper Hunter Shire Council Administration Offi ces in Merriwa, Murrurundi and Scone to raise funds to continue the promotion of prevention through education for strong mental health and wellbeing for the young people of the Upper Hunter.

A new structure in the carpark of Council’s Administration Centre in Scone will soon have solar panels, reducing the building’s energy costs. Around 300 square metres of solar panels will soon be providing free electricity to help power Upper Hunter Shire Council’s Scone Administration Centre. The 60 Kilowatt solar PV system is predicted to supply over one third of the power the building requires. The successful tender for the project is Smart Commercial Solar. The company plans to make this a showpiece for future car park solar projects across the Hunter. Solar panels will also be installed at the Early Learning Centre in Scone. Gummun Place Hostel in Merriwa already has solar panels, reducing the building’s energy costs. Celebrating International Women’s Day International Women’s Day (IWD) 2018 will be celebrated with lunches in Merriwa and Scone and a dinner in Murrurundi on Thursday 8 March. Everyone is welcome to attend. The special guest at the White Hart Hotel in Murrurundi is Janie Jordan, a former journalist turned professional communicator, who is recognised globally for work in crisis management and authored a best-selling book on the topic. In Merriwa the speakers will be Sue Duggan, award-winning Hostel Supervisor at Gummun Place Aged Care and Dr Noman Jawaad who will speak on the topic of women’s heart health.
