Jordan Springs Welcomes 1,000th Home OwnerThe Jordan Springs community is celebrating a signifi cant
milestone as it welcomes its 1,000th home owner since launching in 2010.
Currently home to 2,600 people, the award winning Lendlease master-planned community is projected to be home to approximately 6,500 people upon its completion in 2020.
Jordan Springs has drawn a wide range of property hunters thanks to the aff ordability, diversity of housing and amenities on off er.
The large number of sales is refl ective of both the unique off ering at Jordan Springs and the growing popularity of the Western Sydney area among families, professionals and downsizers, who are increasingly attracted to the convenient location, facilities and infrastructure in the area.
Jobayed Amin and his young family are very excited to be the 1,000th home owners to join the growing community.
“We were drawn to Jordan Springs by the prospect of a strong community that is aff ordable and convenient.”
“For us the decision to buy here was simple with the convenience of a vibrant town centre and shops, impressive village lake, local parks, access to facilities and the proximity to the Penrith CBD”

International Fairy Day
Recently, International Fairy Day was held in Jordan Springs, and what a success it was! With over 50 children attending, they were treated to face painting and story time by the Touched By Olivia Foundation along with a variety of other fun fairy activities.
General Manager for Lendlease’s Communities business in NSW/ACT, Arthur Ilias says events like Fairy Day are a great example of the strong community ties between Jordan Springs residents and the wider Penrith region. These events help demonstrate the ongoing support between Lendlease and the local council.
“We love to see so many local children and families getting involved in community events. Aside from being a fun day for the kids, hosting events like these in conjunction with Penrith Council are important in creating a sense of belonging in the wider community and help contribute to the vibrant spirit in Jordan Springs.”

When one stops to ask the question ‘why am I here’ it is caught up in the wider question ‘what is life – what is society’.
Philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, theology are but some of the approaches in attempting to give answer to the questions. What wonderful arenas of
enquiry they are and there are few who would be bold enough to claim mastery in all these areas of enquiry.
So it is the individual must, in drawing from this learning, give credence to their particular source. Theology as a source provides the long history and ongoing credence for belief in God.
Now belief in God these days is often governed by individual perception rather than in the acceptance of the Absolute: God who is indefinable, beyond total comprehension. However taken as a given, engenders for those who look for meaning a wonderful experience of the search for answers. As Saint John many years ago argued- test the spirits to see if they be of God. In itself the search has dangers-insanity can be the end result.
Now in the search keep two principles in mind:The first principle is that life itself is a given. We are born at a
time and into a nationality of which we had no choice.The second principle is that within the world’s beauty and
ugliness, joy and cruelty the world and the universe is a given.Responding to these allows us to construct and discipline our own personality.
An important rider is that the teaching of Jesus Christ the Absolute is always present. To accept this lays the foundation for the acceptance that we have the freedom to ‘be’. This gives a wonderful impetus with the magnitude of the search. It is Jesus’ life and work that gives the positive groundwork: not I but the grace of God which is always present waiting for a positive response.

Water is an integral part of the great Australian lifestyle, and with the prevalence of home swimming pools and lakes in new communities such as Jordan Springs, it is very important that water safety is a priority at all times. Home pools and spas are obvious drowning hazards, but there are many other items and areas which present a signifi cant drowning threat to young children in and around the home, such as buckets, bathtubs, eskies, fountains, fi shponds, lakes, drains, infl atable pools, and even pet bowls. It is crucial that these are emptied, covered, put away and not left where they can fi ll up with water. Most toddler drowning deaths occur when parents are distracted, by other siblings, preparing meals, phone calls or any other number of parental duties.
Royal Life Saving Australia says that children need constant supervision when they’re in, on, or around any water, and that pool gates must be self closing and well maintained. Swim Australia recommends that all parents learn and regularly update their CPR skills, and that all children should learn to swim from a young age (4 - 6 months) to keep them safer in and around the water.

Jordan Springs Welcomes 1,000th Home Owner
General Manager for Lendlease’s Communities business in NSW/ACT, Arthur Ilias said the milestone demonstrates how the landmark project has been enormously successful for both Lendlease and the region.
“Five years ago when construction on Jordan Springs began we recognised the need to meet the housing, population and infrastructure demands of booming Western Sydney.
“We are so happy to welcome our 1,000th home owner and will continue to ensure the changing needs of the region’s residents are met with consultation, development and investment.”
In 2014 the Jordan Springs project was awarded the Urban Development Institute of Australia’s Best Master-planned Development in New South Wales and was also identifi ed as the best-selling residential project in Australia by the National Land Survey Program.

Solar – Myths and LegendsMy name is James (Jim) Hill and I own and operate Nepean
Solar Solutions, a locally based company in Penrith. I am a licensed electrical contractor and accredited Solar PV Designer and Installer.
There are many misconceptions revolving around the renewable energy sector and in particular the Solar Energy market and I would like to clear a few of these up.
First and most important of all.Sun
The sun still rises and sets every day, day after day. The sun produces energy.No-one taxes sunlight (yet!).
Government Rebates
There are very attractive rebates in the form of STC’s available to you which are generally given at point of sale that bring the price of a typical 4.0kw system down to around $5,000.00. That is double the size and less than the price than 2011. Feed-In Tariff s
These are very much smaller than those off ered a few years ago and now tend to be around $0.05 per kWh.
But we don’t sell it now we use what we produce.Electricity Costs
Electricity now costs between $0.23 and $0.26 per kWhr. It is common knowledge that this will continue to rise in the future.
In 2011 the same electricity cost $0.18 per kWhr resulting in an increase of over 30% in four years.How Do We Measure Your Solar Requirements?
There are three main characteristics that determine the size of the system you require;
• Current electricity usage.• Available Roof space.• Your budget.Call me now to start saving on your electricity! (See ad above).

PARENTS CORNER
Article by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community & Neighbourhood ServicesP: 0409 986121 or 47218520E: [email protected]: Parenting In PenrithBlog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com
I have been travelling around the community recently, meeting and chatting with parents. It has been great to hear what parents think about their role as parents, the joys and the struggles. And we all know that there are a lot of both.
I also get a lot of enquiries from parents over the phone or via email, who are confused about what services are available to them. This month, I am listing some of the frontline support services that are available in the community to address your concerns, whatever level they may be.
Who do you go to if you have a few specifi c concerns – the baby is not sleeping well, your 2 year-old is not sharing, your 4 year-old still doesn’t have a friend at preschool, your 7 year-old is too focused on screens, etc ?
• Early Childhood Health clinics provide support with infant feeding and parenting, and developmental screening.
• Karitane Careline 1300 227 464 7 days per week, regarding the care of young children
• Tresillian Parents Help Line 1300 272736 7 days per week, regarding children aged 0 to 5 years
• ParentLine – 1300 1300 52, 7 days per week, regarding children up to 18 years
• Facebook and Blogs – social media is prolifi c. Check the qualifi cations of the person running the sites you are getting your advice from. I recently saw a video post on Facebook get thousands of ‘likes’ where the parent was clearly abandoning and laughing at her distressed child – horrifi c. Some good sites are Dr Justin Coulson, Dr Laura Markham, Dr Beth Onufrak, and Dr Darci Walker (Core Parenting) – note the ‘Dr’ in front of each of these names.
You seem to be struggling with quite a few things. You may be yelling at the kids more often than you like. You and your partner may be arguing about how best to parent. You may not be confi dent in your skills as a parent. Or you just want to update your skills and learn more.
• Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) has quite a few options available. You can attend a free Triple P group which will go for approximately two hours per week for 5 to 6 weeks. Triple P is also available online for those parents who can’t attend a group, and it costs$80. Penrith Community Health off ers Triple groups in the evening. NCNS off ers Teen Triple P.
• The ‘Resourcing Parents’ website lists the parenting services available to parents throughout NSW. Go to http://www.resourcingparents.nsw.gov.au/.
• Penrith Community Health off ers counselling for parents, children, and young people. The intake phone number is 1800 222 608.
There is no shame in asking for support or assistance. Parenting is a tough job. Children are complex. You think you have them all fi gured out and then they grow into another stage with a whole new set of challenges. As a grandmother of 6 said to me recently “it never hurts to learn more, and connect with others who are going through the same thing as you”.
Next month, I will list the services available to parents who are concerned that their child may have a disability or disorder.
We are inviting the wider community, student, staff past and present to gather on
Sunday 23rd October 2016
to celebrate 150 years of education in Llandilo.If you are able to assist or provide any memorabilla, of letter or photos, please contact through either email

Little Big Dash Comes to Sydney: 10 Fun Obstacles Over 3 Kms!Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing
announced that Little BIG DASH will be held in Sydney for the first time on Sunday 23 August 2015, following a successful launch in Brisbane.
Little BIG DASH is an obstacle adventure full of colour, fun and guaranteed laughs designed for families to enjoy getting active together.
Thousands of ‘Dashers’, in parent and child teams, are anticipated to go wild over a three kilometre course at Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith.
Parent-child teams of two to six members will explore ten colourful obstacle stages together, including dancing through the Donut Dash, dodging the Big Blob Balls, navigating through the Bubble Blast and tackling the giant Rumble Tumble Tower, and a new inflatable Footy Frenzy stage.
Australian Cricket Legend Brett Lee said he was delighted to be the ambassador for Little BIG DASH. “I'm a big kid at heart and this event gives me the opportunity to release that inner-child while having heaps of fun with the
children.”“Each stage of Little BIG DASH is designed to bring so much enjoyment for parent and child that the exercise sharing is
incidental,” said Lee.At the final Hand Stand, ‘Dashers’ create a unique memento by exchanging hand prints in fun patterns on their Little BIG DASH
shirts. Every ‘Dasher’ will receive official Little BIG DASH merchandise items, including an official Little BIG DASH cap (received at check-in), and a shirt for the handprint memento (received at the Hand Stand).
Children aged between 5 and 15 years old can be entered by their parent. There must be at least one adult registered in a team for every two children. Team size ranges from two members to six. Full price team entry fee ranges from $95 (two-person team) to $265 (six-person team) including GST and processing fee with generous early bird and special discounts on offer. Enter EARLY for best discounts.
“There will be prizes for dressing up – so we encourage all ‘Dashers’ to find some fun and quirky matching outfits to wear!” said Lee. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to share a fun-filled adventure with your family!

At the start of Term 3, we are off ering many varied and exciting opportunities for our students. This includes our K-6 Athletics Carnival in week 2. Our primary students have been practising their skills for the fi eld and running events and the K-2 children will be
participating in lots of fun events as well. We are extremely lucky that many of our parents support us by helping the staff to run the diff erent events at our carnival.
Education Week was held in late July where we hosted our Open Day for parents and visitors; entertaining them with a concert and welcoming them into our classrooms. The students are always very excited to show their parents all the wonderful work that they have been doing in class.
Our Stage 3 students are looking forward to their excursion to the Bathurst Goldfi elds which will give them a taste of what life was like on the goldfi elds.
We also have our dance groups and choir performing at the Cranebrook Creative and Performing Arts Festival in mid-August. Our choir is also performing at the Opera House as part of the Pulse choir.

5 Tips to Help with the Death of Your PetOur pets are part of the family and we love
them dearly. They’re companions, confi dants and comforters. Playing a huge part in our daily routine. After all they are, “Man’s Best Friend”.
My dog is all of these things and more. He has an entertaining personality and energetic spirit. At the vet recently I was informed that he’s 10 years old. I want him to be around
forever. I thought about how I’m going to live without him, (I don’t want to think about that) and how grieving his loss will aff ect me.
The death of a pet is diffi cult. Here’s the tips!1. Gather your support network and tell your pet stories;
show photos; have a ceremony etc. Pet loss is diffi cult because they love you unconditionally; they sit, listening to your woes without judgment.
2. Create a memorial. Buy a statue or build a garden. Something tangible will help you remember your precious pet.
3. Tough times: like walking in the door after work and your pet isn’t there to greet you (like they do every night); at feeding time; when you walked or played with them. Recognise triggers and distract yourself by reading a book, calling a friend or having a bath.
4. Emotional times: People don’t realize how painful the sight of a leash or bowl might be. You don’t have to pack their things away immediately. Measure how you respond to seeing their belongings and only put them away when you feel you can (without any regret)
5. You’re not crazy!: Some people think that they are easily replaceable. Know that not everyone will understand your grief, so be with the people who do.

Pop Up Park Set to be PermanentPenrith’s innovative Pop Up Park is set to
become a permanent fi xture.Penrith Council last month endorsed a
report that recommended a new permanent park be designed for the location at the western end of High Street, in consultation with local businesses, residents and the Penrith CBD Corporation.
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said this ambitious trial project had been a success and could be used as a blueprint for other Australian communities wanting to place urban transformation in local hands.
“The park was designed by community and business representatives, designers and student architects in 2013. They were guided by world renowned urban tactician Mike Lydon and place-making specialists Place Partners and The Lot,” Cr Fowler said.
“The recognition of this project in the prestigious Planning Institute of Australia (NSW) Great Place Awards program is testament to Council’s innovative approach to trialling changes in public spaces.”
In June 2014 Council responded to feedback from users and business owners and the eastern end of the Pop Up Park was reopened to vehicle traffi c, with the introduction of parking spaces for short term parking.
Surveys, conducted by Urban Design and Planning Consultants Hames Sharley Pty Ltd following the park’s trial period, showed that a majority of users and business owners believed it should become permanent.
“The construction of the trial park has allowed Council to assess the need and impacts of a permanent facility at minimal cost,” Cr Fowler said.
“The temporary nature of the park meant that some compromises were originally made in regards to the choice of construction material. This will be addressed in the new design.”
Council resolved that the new design should also address the need for amenities, lighting and wi-fi with an ongoing marketing program planned.
The Pop Up Park will continue while a permanent park is designed.

We’re almost through another cold Winter and I hope you’ve all managed to stay motivated and on track with your health and fi tness goals.
With Spring just around the corner, its important to ensure you stay focused on what’s important to you. If you’ve struggled a little over the colder months then read on and learn how to put your goals into action.
1. Set measurable and realistic goals: If your goal is to lose weight/body fat then you need to set a realistic target. Anywhere from 0.5kg-1kg per week is a safe and achievable goal. People who lose weight at this pace are more likely to maintain their weight loss results long term. To ensure you’re able to measure your results be sure to do a body assessment (weigh in and measurements) so you can track your progress and stay motivated.
2. Make a plan: This can be as simple as writing a shopping list, ensuring you prepare your nutrition for the coming week or scheduling a workout with a friend or personal trainer. All these simple things will ensure you stay on track to achieving your important goals.
We’ve had plenty of clients reach and maintain their health and fi tness goals with our help. We include food plans with our group classes and all goal setting and monitoring.
So to get yourself on the right track call me today so we can design a personalised program for you.
Bring on Spring!!
