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.

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.

YOUTH MENTORS FROM MINDARIE ROTARY CLUB TURN PEACEMAKERS AFTER SCHOOLS CLASH
STUDENTS from Clarkson Community High School visited Kinross College on Tuesday to try to encourage positive interaction between the two schools.
The visit was organised by the Mindarie Rotary Club after a group of [two] Clarkson students entered Kinross College grounds on May 21 to continue a feud with a Kinross student. Club spokesman Geoff Newby-Butt said the four students were part of the club’s Rypen youth mentoring program. “We wanted to show people some of the positive things that the kids are doing,” he said. “The kids are fantastic. I think if we can have these kinds of positive interactions we can help prevent trouble in the future.”
Mr Newby-Butt said the Rypen program aimed to help young people with leadership skills and community spirit reach their potential and become role models for their peers.
Clarkson Community High School principal John Young said partnerships with community organisations were important.
“Our staff are working hard to help all students achieve their best at school by finding the appropriate education and training pathway, and we have a range of good initiatives in place both in school and in partnership with organisations,” he said.
