All the students had the opportunity topurchase a gift for their special mum. I'm sure there were many “surprised anddelighted” mums on Sunday.This year we had a prize raffle in conjunction with the stall. As students purchaseditems from the stall they were given a raffle ticket which gave them the chance to winfrom our prize pool of thirteen gifts. The prizes included a 10 megapixel digital camera,a cappuccino machine, stick blender, lots of meal vouchers at local restaurants, athermos, lots of cinema tickets and more.All our major prize draw items were graciously donated by our sponsors: JB Hi Fi,Harvey Norman, House, Classic Design Furniture, Hoyts cinemas, BroadmeadowsStation Kebab House, The Roxy Kebab and Anatolian Restaurant and Café.A big thank you to Sukriye Tarakcifor organising and running thestall, and to Sevgi Ozturk, EmineCetiner, Filiz Aydin and SuadJasem who all gladly donatedtheir time to help out with such ahectic event.“an array of gifts availableto choose from”“our major prize drawitems were graciouslydonated by [various]sponsors”Ms Ayfer KocakPresident – PFA CommitteeEBRU COURSEWe continue this year as a year of first time events with the running of classesof the novel and unique art form of Ebru Sanati (Marbling). Marbling originatedin Japan in around the twelfth century. It believed that it was discovered byaccident by the Japanese who submerged sumi ink paintings in water. Thesecrets of marbling then travelled along the Silk Road to Anatolia in thefifteenth century for another type of marbling; Ebru, Turkish for "cloud art.”However the Turkish marblersused substances to thicken thewater to give more control overthe design process. Thisunique art form adorns mosthistorical buildings andmosques throughout Turkey.Our fastidious teacher, MrAlper Erdem, would only allowa maximum of ten students ineach class so that he coulddedicate enough attention andtime to each student.“This unique art formadorns most historicalbuildings.”“At the completion of thecourse there will be anexhibition of their work.”Ms Sukriye TarakciICU Read 3
