This exhibition is an opportunity to discover teachers and friends, past and present, as practicing artists of wonderful works.  

In this past year we´ve made a big difference in the lives of a lot of people. The children are happier, healthier and more confident. The family members have learned to trust me and each other and are now active participants in the local community. The older children are more creative, have improved social skills and have a wider vision of all the possibilities that life has to offer. And most importantly these children who have grown up in families and a community where life´s seen as a place of cruelty and suffering, can now look at life as a place of beauty, love and goodness and become people who bring more beauty, love and goodness into the world. - Saffron Wadick

7. Interested to a country retreat near the Warrumbungle national park?
We offer a share of a wonderful mud brick house, outside the township of Coonabarabran on the way to the Warrumbungles National Park.The house was custom built by a local couple, brick by brick, using local clay and amazing recycled timbers. As the house itself is stunning for it’s individual character and very high standard workmanship, the location of the house is as impressive. It’s indigenous name “Illalangi” means “house on the hill”, overlooking with a 360 degree view the bushlands of the southern end of the majestic Pilliga forest and to the west the Warrumbungles mountains. The sunrises are as fascinating as the sunsets...and at night it feels as if one can touch the Milky Way. The main house comprises of a huge open plan living area, flooded by natural light all day. There are 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet, a laundry and storage room and another toilet-house outside. There is also a smaller house where the original owners lived while building the big house. The little house can be easily updated into a permanent accommodation again. Around the house are beautifully landscaped gardens and an orchard with producing fruit trees and, currently dormant, commercial size garden beds for veggie growing. On title is bore water which has drinking quality. The are also two huge rain water tanks. The block of land has a size of almost 8 hectares.

We currently share this property on a 50:50 basis with friends. As our co-owners have moved on, a 50% share is available now.  If all this sounds interesting to you, then please let us know and come and stay a few days at this magical place ... and take it from there ...

4. Laughter Yoga Club - Holiday group for kids.

Laughter Yoga Club is a community group who meet regularly to laugh together. We practice laughter as an exercise, and because laughter helps us breath much more deeply than usual the leader intersperses the laughter exercises with yoga breathing exercises. Our Club runs during school hours so it is difficult for children to be included except during school holidays. So I was wanting to extend an invitation to anyone in your community who may be interested in laughing with their children and us these holidays!  Robyn Colleran, Laughter Yoga Facilitator, 0412 649 257

FUN FRENCH CLUB AT GLENAEON

When: The class is on a Monday afternoon from 3.45pm to 4.45pm

Lefrench teaching methodology: 
Children just love the French Clubs fun approach to language learning which involves lots of games, songs, drama and other lively activities. You will be amazed at how much they learn and how quickly!

Lefrench Club's Methodology is based on informal, fun activities, such as crafts, music and songs, lively games, weekly activity sheets for each child, and progress reports for parents to reinforce at home (via email).

This interactive and communicative approach is supported by professionally designed materials including flashcards, board games and activity sheets.
The Club’s method makes learning fun and stress-free. While children play games, sing songs, act out role plays and interact with each other, they absorb the new language without consciously thinking about it. Naturally this all takes place within a carefully structured progressive sequence which enhances learning
