What is Tinikling dance?A dance that mirrors the innate grace, joy and resilience. Resilience As we go through our lives, we may experience set back, failures, sorrow and pains. Just as the bamboo poles may hit our foot, hurt and may even cause us to fall to the ground, we should learn to shake off the pain, stand up and continue to dance through the music. To be resilient is not to give up, to have Faith and to focus on the blessings of life ahead.

From The Principal

It is difficult to believe that Term 1 has almost drawn to a close, given that it seems only yesterday we threw open the gates to welcome our students back for 2019.

Yet this is the truth, as we reflect on a brilliant Term where we welcomed another large group of Year 7 students, celebrated the enormous and unprecedented success of our 2018 Year 12 ATAR students, celebrated Harmony Night, held a faction swimming carnival, painted the College, hosted two weeks of OLNA testing, held student and elder forums, observed ANZAC Day, welcomed a new group of Engineering School Based Trainees and danced the night away at the annual School Ball in Fremantle.

After all of that our staff and students deserve a two week break. I call it a “break” rather than a “holiday”, because the end of Term 1 only marks the half way point of first Semester. I’d like to remind all of our students that a two week break from classes is a great opportunity to recharge their batteries, relax and have some fun, while at the same time prioritising catching up on work missed, homework and assessments upcoming and revising everything that’s been taught in Term 1.

As a school we have built a solid foundation for 2019, but no sooner do we return than NAPLAN, Externally Set Tasks (Year 12 General Studies) and Examinations are upon us.

In the same way that teachers make long term plans to ensure they cover the curriculum and to make sure that events such as excursions, the Athletics Carnival and school performances don’t impact on student results, I would urge our students to use this pause in classes to make sure that the plans and hopes they had for 2019 are still on track. If they aren’t, we have 115 staff ready to assist and get them back on target when we return on Tuesday 30 April.

Term 1 this year has seen the publication of two important documents, the 2018 Annual Report and the Gilmore College Business Plan 2018-2020. Both of these documents can be viewed and downloaded from our College website.

The 2018 Annual Report gives an insight beyond the regular newsletters of our school’s performance across a range of domains. The report is an analysis of how well we’ve performed against our stated Business Plan targets, in areas such as student academic achievement, student attendance, staff development, student wellbeing and how we manage our finances.

The Business Plan 2018-2020 marks another new beginning for our young school, as we courageously and optimistically enter our second decade with goals that will enable sustained academic success for our students. Put simply we have three priorities in this Business Plan:

1. Maximising student learning through the provision of high quality teaching.2. Improving Literacy and Numeracy across the school.3. Creating the learning environment required for everyone to succeed.What do we hope to achieve in this planning cycle? We want our results to reflect those of similar schools and already we are seeing them head in that direction. We also want to see students succeed across the school rather than in their niche areas of interest and have set targets throughout our curriculum offerings in a bid to track this.

How will we know whether we’ve had success? The school has recently been informed that we will be assessed and reviewed by the Department of Education during first Term 2020. This review will be a fabulous opportunity to take stock of the progress we’ve made since 2008. I am quietly confident that this review will show that educational outcomes for Kwinana students are strengthening all the time and I would urge all of our school community to engage with these two important documents.

We look forward to seeing all of our students again in second term and helping them to be their best.

Chambers of Minerals (CME) Inspiring Girls ForumGilmore College was invited to the Chambers of Minerals (CME) Inspiring Girls Forum, fully sponsored by ALCOA, held at the RAC Arena on Friday 29 March.

Three young women attended the event: Emily Brown in our Metals and Engineering Program, Takayawa Halofaki and Sheen Bautista both in our Process Operations Program.The girls received great information about each company’s recruitment process and what it’s like for females in non-traditional roles in Industry.The whole event was incredibly inspiring and our girls left with a sense of confidence that they will achieve their goals to someday work in the Oil, Gas and Resources sector.

Patrice KilpatrickCoordinator - Industry & Enterprise A huge thank you to our sponsors,

ALOCA, for this fabulous opportunity.

The instrumental students visited the Perth Concert Hall with three

parents to watch the Western Australia Symphony Orchestra.

We spoke to two professional viola players about what life was like as a professional musician and then watched two hours of rehearsal. The orchestra was working on the Mozart Symphony and it was amazing to see how the conductor worked with the section leaders and musicians to make the piece perfect. Congratulations to all Concert Band students who performed our Pi song, the first of many songs we will be creating this year. Concert Band is still meeting regularly every Tuesday 2.40-3.40pm. Stay ‘tuned’ for more updates on performances throughout the year. The choir is meeting every Tuesday, Recess 1. There are some very exciting guest singers coming to work with the choir. All students are invited to participate in the choir, whether in the vocal program or not. Email [email protected] for any queries relating to the Music Program.

Gilmore College gets to show just how Sustainable it isMyself and Miss Chipper were invited by the Water Corporation to talk at a Teach Meet on Tuesday 26 March.

We were asked to come and present all the amazingly sustainable things Gilmore College has been involved in. This is a long list, but some of our highlights include: • Introducing a school wide ban on

straws. • Becoming a Waste Wise school

and getting not one, but TWO worm farms.

• Becoming an accredited WaterWise School

• Taking part in community tree planting

• Setting up a Sustainability Committee, a Green Team and a Worm Wise Team.

This was a great opportunity to show off to the wider community all the incredible things our students and staff have been involved in. We came away with some great ideas of how we can be doing more. The feedback we got was very positive and other schools were impressed with all of the different initiatives we have introduced here at Gilmore College.

Kwinana Industries Council iWOMEN ProjectThis Term, four lucky students were chosen to participate in iWoman, a program run by Kwinana Industries Council.

Keelin Finch, Keana Ireland, Makayla Koeberl and Precious Sesay got to see how women in industry are progressing, and what opportunities will be available to them in the future. The purpose of the program is to expose students to the numerous career opportunities in industry and gain an understanding of what industry does and expects of employees. These young ladies were lucky enough to visit Sims Metal Management, Cockburn Cement and experience the Construction Futures Centre at Belmont. The girls attended the program for seven days over three weeks. Alongside the tours of industry, the girls participated in workshops for; resume writing, mock interviews, social media, health and wellbeing, bullying and mental health.Each of our students came away from iWomen with new friends, new mentors and a sense of determination to seek a career in industry. This project has opened the students’ eyes to their future and where their studies can take them in the future. We are very proud of the students and they are an asset to our College community.

Water ScarcityStudents in Year 7 have been learning about

water scarcity through their Geography curriculum. They have developed an understanding of the importance of water conservation and the discovery of innovative ways to access

safe drinking water, such as desalination and fog harvesting.

Students expressed empathy when they learned of people who have never experienced the

convenience of treated tap water and were shocked to learn that 300 million people in Africa do not have access to safe drinking water. Through the Dreaming story of Tiddalik,

students also learned the importance of sharing and being conservative with our resources.

Lesley BrownTeacher - Humanities and Social Science

Cervantes I have enjoyed looking at the differences between access to water in Africa and Australia.

Chantelle F I have learned that some people don’t get water and we take water for granted.

Mason Cafes

should use paper or

metal straws.

Armani I have learned that marine life can be

saved by buying a reusable water bottle.

Tyson I learned that it is a shame that we

chuck plastic in the sea.

Jaylee I am

upset by all the

rubbish in the

ocean.

Ivan I have learned

that it is better to

drink tap water than

bottled water.

E-Waste In Humanities and Social Sciences, Year 7s have been looking at the topic of resources

within their study of Geography.

Students have been watching the War on Waste, which aired on the ABC channel. This program looked at reducing the amount of waste we produce and in one episode, it specifically looked at E-Waste. Students were shocked that only 8% of E-Waste is recycled in Australia. Electronic devices have valuable materials in them such as copper, gold, glass, aluminium, precious metals and plastic which can be reused rather than thrown into landfill. Some students were inspired to have a search at home and brought in their old broken and unused mobile phones, which the Sustainability Committee will gladly recycle for them. Thank you to Emmanuel Dech and Declan Bothma-Combley for getting involved. If you have any phones that are unused or broken, we invite you to bring them in to recycle, or take them to your local phone retailer.

Constance ChipperTeacher - Humanities and Social Science

Recycled mats create outdoor classroomRecently the Humanities and Social Science Learning Area purchased three recycled mats.

These vibrant and sturdy mats are made from recycled plastic bags and have made it possible for students to enjoy our grassed area at recess and lunch even more.

With sustained silent reading being introduced in Term 2, 10.5 students decided to get an early start and showed us that it is now also possible to facilitate outdoor learning. We are hoping for a few more sunny days.

Gilmore gets SustainableOn Wednesday 20 March, Gilmore College hosted their second annual Harmony Night and for the first time the Sustainability Committee had a stall.

We had such a great time getting to meet members of the community and share with them all the awesome things we have been doing, alongside our brilliant students. We had great success in getting passers-by involved in making eco-bricks, with many coming back to make more.

We want to say a big thank you to everyone who came by to say hello, took part in an activity and a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported the committee by purchasing some of our beeswax wraps. We look forward to seeing you all at Harmony Night next year.Rachel Elsegood Sustainability Committee

Triple Entente kicks HASS!If you thought you heard machine guns and aerial assaults last Friday, you were right. In Humanities and Social Science, Year 9 students have been learning about World War I.

They have learnt about the circumstances in which World War I began, why young Australian men enlisted and the conditions they faced when they eventually encountered enemy fire.

“It was interactive and we should do it more often”Levi Rylands

“I liked the role play particularly the death part.”Stuart Peterson

“I learned how easy it was to be injured during WWI”Raighne Brooks

“We looked after our team like Australian soldiers would have done.”

Kashvi Sharma

As a way to really embody their learning, students took part in trench warfare games. They created trenches, dugouts, shields and tunnels; they infiltrated each other’s trenches and were forced to work as a team and come up with innovative tactics. They were also able to see, as their mates lay ‘dead' or ‘injured', how devastating this would be in real life.

Lesley BrownTeacher - Humanities and Social Science

The Triple Entente came out on top this year and students obviously enjoyed the activity a lot.

Rotary Kwinana VisitOn Monday 11 March, Miss Brown and I were invited to the Rotary Club of Kwinana on behalf of Gilmore College and Mr Smith.

We had the pleasure of joining them for a lovely dinner before presenting information about sustainable initiatives and 2018 data from Gilmore College. We would like to thank the Rotary Club members for their wonderful hospitality, ongoing support and hard work they do for our school and the Kwinana community.

We were fortunate enough to leave with valuable connections and conversations, as well as two beehives and a donation to our aquaponics set up, for which we are very grateful for.

Mountain Display

During Term 1, Miss Elsegood and I found a blank wall in the May O’Brien Block and we decided it needed to be decorated. Inspired by Pinterest, Miss Elsegood found a beautiful mural that had been decorated in a classroom in America.

We quickly got to work, marking up the wall and painting. The display is Geography inspired, with mountain ranges, labelled with the highest peak of each range, Kurt Tamares and Uarry Requina did a wonderful job. Lewraine Creencia, Rose Anne Macaraeg, Angel Manongsong and Russell Yambao assisted in painting the mural

also. Four-leaf clovers, which students decorated for Harmony Night, are on the base of the mountains.

Finding the Courage to Care for those in needOn Thursday 21 March the Year 11 ATAR Modern History Class visited Edith Cowan University, Mt Lawley and took part in the Courage to Care program.

Students had the following things to say after the excursion: “By being an up-stander you have the power to prevent further escalation of violent situations” Chloe-Rose Ellis

and “It is important to be an up-stander rather than a bystander because if you’re a bystander you are making the perpetrator feel more powerful and the victim feel powerless.” Anna Sach

Courage to Care is designed for high school students to teach them, through an interactive exhibition, the importance of standing up to

bullying and prejudice wherever it occurs. The program has been designed to provoke conversations about social justice and bystander intervention in our communities. Students spent the morning hearing incredible stories of bravery. We learnt about the journeys of those people who put their lives on the line and actively disobeyed the Nazis by hiding Jewish people in their homes during the Holocaust. These difficult topics were covered in such a way to inspire our students to ensure that

they understood that their actions matter and that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they choose to.

The 97 students who were accepted on the excursion, were divided into four teams. Each team chose their own colour and had a designated captain and staff member assigned to them.Team A was predominantly formed of students from 9.1 with Alison Freeman, Tadiwa Chafa and Jade Beattie all co-captains. Whilst they may not have had the same level of athletic ability as the other sides, they backed themselves to use their intellectual superiority to gain a tactical advantage. Their choice of colour was green which helped them blend in with the natural surroundings of the Laser Corps battlefield. I was the allocated staff member to assist them with their strategic planning.

Team B was c a p t a i n e d by Ryan O v e r t o n and had Mr Morris as their teacher

in charge. They named

their team “The Brotherhood of

Steel”, chose brown as their colour and

were by consensus the most enthusiastic team. Even though their results did not always live up to the hype, they bought into the spirit of the day and created an element of excitement in the competition.Ranesch Maha Kalithas led Team C and wore the colour black. With Mr Patterson the teacher in charge, they were hoping his leadership could inspire them to out-manoeuvre the opposition. Unfortunately, his status at school did not carry onto the battlefield and the other students had no issue shooting Mr Patterson despite repeated warnings of detention!

Finally, Team D were purple/blue and had the super competitive Mr Connoley running the show with Raghne Brooks captain. Oblivious to the fact the day was more about the students, Mr Connoley charged about the course like he was reliving his youth. While he orchestrated the tactics which ultimately led to them being overall champions, Mr Connoley also tried to claim “Best on Ground”. Unfortunately, we had to explain to him the award was reserved for the students. This was won by Jordan Sayer who had the most hits while Braedyn Hayward was also a star performer.After Mr Connoley’s champion Team D, the 9.1 led Team A finished 2nd, Ranesch Maha Kalithas’ Team C 3rd and Ryan Overton’s “Brotherhood of Steel” was left holding the wooden spoon.

Year 9 Good Standing ExcursionThe Year 9 Good Standing Excursion in Term 1 went to Laser Corps in Bibra Lake. It was the first time we had visited this venue and the students were excited to try a different activity to our customary excursions.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to Alcoa we goOn Tuesday 12 March, the year 12 ATAR Geography visited Alocoa Huntly minesite to check out the Bauxite mining process and the rehabilitation process that occurs once mining has ceased.

We got to drive alongside the giant trucks, diggers and dump trucks and explore the rehabilitated bushland. It was an informative and enjoyable day out for all involved.

Ms Shannon DalyTeacher - ATAR Geography and Humanities and Scoial Science

The excursion concluded with a short walk to the Bibra Lake Foreshore where the students indulged in a pizza lunch and spent the rest of the day relaxing in the picnic area. It was a fantastic finish to a good day and everyone involved seemed to have an enjoyable experience. A big thanks to all the staff members who assisted, and congratulations to the students whose excitement and enthusiasm contributed to memorable experience.

Year 11 Aboriginal and Intercultural Studies visits Yagan SquareAs we walked into Yagan Square we were greeted by the Gilmore College crest on a huge digital tower that most Perth citizens walk or drive past every day.

Our Whadjuk Noongar guides, Walter and his wife Meg, told us that the fourteen spires that protrude out of the digital tower represent the fourteen Indigenous kinship groups, or clans across Noongar Country. Walter explained to us the practical and medicinal uses of the Balga tree (grass tree) and other bush plants. The design of the square is based on the red-tailed black cockatoo and is made from materials that are

found in the Perth region limestone, sandstone, granite and red resin from the Balga tree that lights up at night.

The canopies that cover the square represent the lakes that once covered the Perth city centre before colonialists arrived which was the heart of Noongar Country in the region. Under the statue of Wirrin, our guide explained that it signifies the Noongar spirit and their connection to the land. Detailing the history, significance and use of the Gidji (spear) and Mirra (spear thrower). Painted throughout the monument there is reference to the first Aboriginal person in an Australian Capital, Fanny Balbuk, who led a one-women campaign against Governor Stirling and the Western Australian government in 1840 for native title. With time to spare, we dropped into the State Library where we learned

about the story of the Seven Sisters and how the waitch (emu) can be seen in constellations near the Milky Way.

Isaac McAndrews: “I really liked listening to Walter talk about his

knowledge.”

Colin McWhae Pre-service teacher - Murdoch University

It was an enlightening experience for all, and we recommend everyone should experience a tour of Yagan Square to understand the history and cultural significance of the place we call home.

Mathematics Learning AreaOLNA: This Term we saw the completion of Round 1 Numeracy OLNA for our Years 10,11 and 12 students. Our students worked very hard to achieve this and are anxiously awaiting their results.

Pi Day: We celebrated International Pi Day on 14 March. It was a resounding success. Students and teachers enjoyed the Lunchtime activities as well as their free pies. All learning areas contributed to making this event a success. We aim to make this a bigger and better event next year. We hope to see more parental involvement.One of the competitions involved challenging the students to learn the first 50-ish Pi values past the decimal point, with a $1/number prize to the student who remembered the most. Dr Bill Bennett (Science) managed to remember 35, before giving in; he was soon overtaken by Miguel Calimpon (Year 12), who remembered a few more and our clear winners were Antonio Arile (Year 7) and

Brandon Rowe-Jeffs (Year 8) who drew at 70 … can you believe that.They will share the $50 prize which will be awarded in the next Assembly. What an amazing feat of memory and commitment! Congratulations, boys.The Pi Hat competition was won by Riley Marshall (Year 7); Josh Comben (Year 10) for the Science competition; Shakira Williams (Year 12) for the Pi Word Challenge and for the 3 legged race, Tara Gartlett (Year 12) and Lee Goodwin (Year 12).Times Table Competition: All our Year 7 students will be participating in the Times Table competition at the start of Term 2. It will be held over eight consecutive Fridays. Awards will be given to the top boy and girl, most improved boy and girl, and to the top class.

Our students are working on this in class and ask that parents and guardians support them in this activity at home. Note, that you can download an app called 10 Minutes a Day, which is a game that will help your child learn the tables quickly and in a fun way. There is a lot of class and individual honour at stake.

In this explora�on of the world of li�le and big boys as they move towards manhood, parents will find out what’s happening in their boy’s brain and how to manage the home, home to school and school demands that are par�cular to boys. Mums and boys and dads and boys – these are intense rela�onships that for each can feel some�mes confusing, alien and outside of any previous experience to rely on to get right in this moment. There are reasons for how these rela�onships work the way they do – and making them work di�erently and be�er means taking a deep dive into developmental ages and stages that change behaviour – and the way in which behaviour can and should be managed.

Practical Guidance for Parents This is the workshop that brings you the science and the prac�ce of raising, educa�ng and connec�ng with our precious, vulnerable, chao�c and ama�ing boys. Do you want to know how the brains of boys grow and develop, what lights them up, what transforms their learning and their rela�onships�

Go on the cra�y ride of ge�ng to know your boy-child more deeply – we know it will change the way you and he do business – forever!

Caliesha Edney Year 12 On 27 March Caliesha Edney attended by invitation, the Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia (AHCWA) State Sector awards ceremony, where she was awarded the Young Achiever Award in front of the 200 guests present.

The conference focussed on the theme:Lead the Way, Challenge the Possibilities,

Imagine the Future

Caliesha is an aspiring Indigenous Year 12 student, completing her School Base Traineeship with Cuddles Early Learning and Child Care Centre in Bertram and completing a Certificate III in Early Childhood Studies. Her Workplace Learning Manager holds a very high regard for Caliesha’s ongoing contribution to the Centre.

Caliesha has been a Follow the Dream student for more than five years and is also a Deadly Sista Girlz participant. Both programs assist students in achieving their goals in completing Year 12, go onto further studies, or gain meaningful employment.

Caliesha was nominated and subsequently attended ASSETS (Aboriginal Summer School for Excellence in Technology & Science) in 2017. This extra-curricular activity provides an opportunity for high achieving Year 10 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, with an interest in science, to explore the study and career options available to them in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. Only 35 Indigenous students were chosen from across Australia. This was a great achievement and an amazing experience for her.

Caliesha is a great model to other Aboriginal students and is determined to continue working hard to achieve all of her goals in life. Caliesha, we all congratulate you on your achievements thus far and we are sure that you will have many more successes in life.

OneSight Optical ProgrammeOneSight is OPSM’s charity partner, providing eyecare and eyewear for those who lack access. A global non-profit organisation, OneSight believes everyone should have access to world-class vision care regardless of circumstance.

Since 1988, OneSight has provided eyecare across Australia and New Zealand through outreach services, eye health education and vision clinics, with over 15,000 lives impacted each year. With the help of OPSM optometrists and employees who volunteer their time, OneSight is able to provide sustainable eyecare access and glasses to regional and remote communities, and those in need in metropolitan areas.

OneSight is visiting Gilmore College on Wednesday 29 May to provide a free vision screening. At this screening, your child’s distance and near vision will be tested to ensure they can see the blackboard and read a book, and their colour vision and depth perception will also be tested. An optometrist will conduct a basic test and may refer your child for a full examination.

Should your child require a full eye examination, they will be issued with a OneSight Vision Voucher, which entitles your child to a free eye test and a pair of glasses from a select range, should they be required. The voucher is only valid at OPSM stores.As the charity foundation of the Luxottica Group (OPSM, Sunglass Hut), OneSight provides eye care and glasses to low socio economic and remote communities, and have been doing so in Australia for over 25 years. OneSight provides this eye care program free of charge, with no obligation. Please complete the parent permission and questionnaire form, available from the Student Services office, with your child’s name, address and family history. Forms to be returned to the school before the screening date.

Harmony Night – Back and Bigger Than EverOn the evening of Wednesday 20 March, Gilmore College threw open its gates to all staff, students, parents/carers and the Kwinana Community to celebrate Harmony Day.

Each Learning Area was tasked with celebrating a nation or culture that is represented among our staff and student body. While we certainly didn’t have every nationality covered, we managed to cover New Zealand (Student Services/Admin), Asian Fusion (English), Aboriginal (Clontarf/Deadly Sista Girlz), Philippines (Technology and Enterprise), Japan (Arts), Italy (Health and Physical Education), Ireland (Humanities and Social Sciences), India (Mathematics) and Mexico (Science). Between 800 and 1000 parents, carers, students, former students, community members and younger siblings filled our College with an immensely positive atmosphere, sampling the food, chatting to teachers about student progress, visiting the not-for-profit organisation stalls, watching the performances, undertaking College tours and celebrating everything Kwinana.Many thanks to all who attended and the school staff, students, parents and carers that made it happen. We already can’t wait for Harmony Day 2020.

The Business Plan is an important document because it sets out the Moral Purpose of the College, its Vision, Strategies and Targets. I would urge all staff, students, parents and other supporters of Gilmore College to take the time necessary to read and understand the Plan, available via our website.The establishment of a Business Plan is vital, because it sets the targets and standards against which we can measure our successes. It is also aligned to the Department of Education four key objectives under the “Classrooms First” Strategy. 1. Success for all students 2. High quality teaching 3. Effective leadership 4. Strong governance and

support.

Respect by Edwayne Belarga, Year 7

A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities or achievements. Respect is one of the many thing is that students are to learn about. Respect is very important in school because with lack of respect there is lack of education.

One of many ways to show respect is to always show eye contact when someone is talking, Keeping eye contact is important because it shows that you're listening and are interested in the topic that the person is talking about.

Another simple but is very common way of not showing respect among people is to talk over someone and try to take over the topic of the speaker. Always let the speaker finish expressing their opinions. Let those eager to show their opinions then once everyone is done, tell them yours.

Respect your parents or guardian figures. They’re the ones who raised you, fed you, bathed you and paid for your education. Respect them because one day they'll be gone and you'll forever regret disrespecting your parents or having to abide by rules or being forced to do chores. Cherish your time with them as they will soon be gone.

Respect higher authorities such as Police who check your drivers licence or test if you have any illegal substances in your system. Police who can arrest you if you were underage drinking. Always respect and comply with police as escalating the situation could make your consequences worse. Respect paramedics, make way on the road for them as they could be on they/re way to save a life. Blocking them however may mean that you could've killed someone. One day those paramedics you blocked could be saving your life.

Respect your teachers, interrupting them could cost you your education. Interrupting a teacher or disturbing a class, for example a physics class could cost other students or even you a chance of being a great or even historical physicist. Don't be a selfish person.

Respect the earth, be sure to recycle and hike in paths meant for hiking. Hiking in a way straight through the wilderness is dangerous, you could walk into a Black Widow spider or tip a birds nest killing the baby chicks inside. Do not throw cigarette into the forest: You could cause a massive fire killing 20 people or more. Respect nature because destroying it could destroy chances of living.

Remember to respect everyone all ages. For all you know the elderly man you pushed out of the way could've been a war veteran that lost all his friends at war. That woman that you didn't tend your seat to could've been a surgeon that saved your great grandpa’s life. Respect elders most of all because of the unfortunate things that come with old age such as Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease. Show empathy for them because you don't know what they're going through.

Most people are born in a different race such as being born as an asian, black, white or indigenous. Being racist is extremely offensive. Respect all races, being a racist means that people will not be fond of you or even be angry against you. Everyone is the same on the inside.

Respect other religions and practices. Respect what others think, about God (Christianity),

reincarnation (Buddhism) and more. Respect their opinions and in return

they respect you.

Respect Culture. Ethnocentrism is the act of judging other cultures and believing that all cultures come from one's culture, thinking that its superior

to other cultures. First of all, no culture, race or religion is superior

to others. White people are not superior to Asians. Jewish people are

not superior to Muslims. Filipino culture are not superior to African culture, No culture,

religion or race come from one place, Ethnocentrism is bad because of the lack of respect to other culture causing fights that may eventually lead to wars, Judging someone's culture is judging the way they live, the way people live don't make them any different to anyone else. Africans work just the way Americans do for their family just in different ways. Africans walk up to 16 hours an average every week walking to find clean water for their family, Americans work upto 9 hours a day for their family.

In conclusion, Be respectful. Show eye contact when someone is talking, don't interrupt them, let those eager to show their opinions talk. Respect your parents or guardian, cherish your time with them. Comply to authorities and follow the law. Don't interrupt teachers in the middle of a lesson and don’t disturb the class attention. Respect the earth, recycle, smoke in an area for smoking. Show empathy for all ages, anyone could be going through the worst times of their lives, Don't be racist, everyone is equal, Respect others opinions and beliefs even if you don't believe in their beliefs. Be sure to not be involved in ethnocentrism and don't judge others for how they provide for they're family.

BRAINways EDUCATION, in conjunction with the University of Western Australia invites gifted

This workshop is an introduction to the topic. An in-depth exploration is possible via e-Learning.

The promise of jobs and prosperity pulls people to cities. Half of the global population already lives in cities, and by 2050 two-thirds of the world's people are expected to live in urban areas. But in cities

two of the most pressing problems facing the world today also come together: poverty and environmental degradation. As such, strong city planning will be essential in managing these and other

difficulties as the world's urban areas swell. This program aims to explore these issues and investigate for architectural solutions to overpopulation.
