BUSH TELE LETTERS
Dear BT,
I would like to express my absolute delight and
thanks to The 1 st Hornsby Heights Scouts.
In response to a story in The Bush Tele Weekly
on 16 th May, I called Alan and he arranged for a
gang of very helpful and willing boys and girls,
headed up by Nicole, to attend my home and
clean up the gardens for me.
They took over and worked hard and quietly
for three hours and transformed my weeds into
garden beds. I was amazed how much they did
in such a short time. I can’t thank them enough.
This was on the Sunday of the long weekend.
Such a dedicated bunch!

Dear BT,
In recognition of Di Stoddart and Wideview’s
Cafe4Kids canteen
I am writing in to praise the outstanding work
of Di Stoddart and the team at Cafe4Kids, the
Wideview School Canteen.
volunteers, the Wideview canteen is a godsend
to both the students and parents at Wideview
Primary School.
There are two things that make Cafe4Kids
wonderful.
First, the food. There is an extensive menu that
are home-made and healthy, including soups,
salads, wraps and spaghetti bolognaise, to
name only a few (the smell of garlic cooking on
Wednesday mornings is fantastic!). There are
also treats, which included homemade mango
ice-cream last term and hot chocolate with warm
The second feature is the kindness. Cafe4Kids
is a warm and friendly hub where both kids and
parents feel welcome. The café has a wonderful
spirit of generosity, and the surprisingly low
inclusion and giving. Small wonder my kids
love Cafe4Kids and see a canteen lunch as a
real treat.
Thanks Di, and thanks to all the canteen
greatly appreciated.
