Hats Off To Katie
A FIREFIGHTER, emergency services volunteer, horse-riding teacher and leader at her school, Katie Napier wears many hats for her list of voluntary and leadership roles.
The 17-year-old Butler resident's contributions to the community earned her the youth award at the City of Wanneroo's Australia Day celebrations. Katie joined the Quinns Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade as a 12-year-old with her sister and brother and within weeks she had also signed up to the Clarkson Emergency Services and the St John Ambulance cadet units.
Recycle Week Success
Clarkson students promoted National Recycling Week recently with a focus on school-based recycling projects. Learning centre co-ordinator Alison Nolan said the cadets did all the school’s paper recycling as well as the composting and worm farm in the school garden. Almost 90 Clarkson Community High School students have been involved in the Bushranger Cadets Unit, which participated in awareness week from November 12 to 18. Planet Ark encourages students to go green through participating in various school recycling activities.

Charity Golf Tees Up Over $40000 For Local Chaplains
The City of Wanneroo has paired with the business community to stage a successful Charity Golf Day, raising over $40000.
A total of 26 teams of 104 golfers took part in the day at Carramar Golf Course, with money raised going towards chaplaincy services at the City of Wanneroo public high schools.
Mayor Tracey Roberts who played in the event, thanked everyone who supported the charity day, an annual event in the City of Wanneroo calendar.
"This is a very special event raising money to employ chaplains in our schools. This vital service operates at the coal face to help young people with the problems they may be facing," Mayor Roberts said. "The chaplains do a great job, and it is very gratifying that we have again raised such a substantial amount to support their good work."
Golfers enjoyed a post game function with the school chaplains and YouthCARE area Chaplain Michael Norman. They were joined by a number of City of Wanneroo staff who also raised several thousand dollars for the chaplaincy program.

Hopelessly Devoted
GREASE IS THE WORD AT CLARKSON by Lucy Jarvis
INSPIRED by students’ song choices last year, Clarkson Community High School will stage a musical set in high school this month. After a good response to performances of Grease songs by some students at a singing festival last year, the school’s arts department decided to put on the stage production to showcase the students’ talents.
“The stage play is quite different to the actual movie,” teacher and director Brooke McFarlane said. Years 11 and 12 students will perform in the musical, with about 16 on stage and another four in the band. Daniel Kim will play the lead role of Danny Zuko, while Lyreche Tata and Tashai van Niekerk will share Sandy Olsson’s role.
“Most of the kids get to sing either a solo or a group song,” Ms McFarlane said. The drama teacher said the production had been a whole arts department effort, with music and dance classes involved and art students painting the set.
Teachers Robyn Jones and Ruth McDonald have been respectively choreographing and directing music in the lead-up to the opening show on August 20.
Half of the 12 performances will be matinees for local schools, with the other six evening shows open to the public.
Tickets cost $10 on concession or $15 for adults, and can be booked by calling the school administration office on 9400 1777.
