The Weekly Times - TWT - 17th April 2019
The Weekly Times - TWT - cheekily describes itself as a campaigning, crusading, truth-seeking, death defying, Aussie battler-aligned, one-eyed-Tiger-led news organisation dedicated to Sydney's north west. It's one of the few remaining independently run community newspapers and turns 100 years old in 2021 - so if you want to show your support for independent media, have a quick look at the paper, submit a letter to the editor via its website or like or share one of its posts on social media.

Thunder develop strong leadership<br />
LOCAL students including Shakthikram Kulandaivel from Homebush Boys High<br />
School were each awarded for their outstanding contributions to the community in<br />
the Sydney Thunder’s leadership program.<br />
This marked a very special<br />
occasion for Homebush Boys<br />
High, Hills Sports High and<br />
Westfields Sports High schools,<br />
where awarded students became<br />
the first alumni of this<br />
year’s leadership program, progressing<br />
through the various<br />
stages of leadership development.<br />
Students worked with local<br />
primary schools by leading<br />
reading and cricket sessions<br />
- helping to umpire and coordinate<br />
the Cricket NSW Woolworths<br />
Cricket Blast School<br />
Cup.<br />
Students also volunteered<br />
at community organisations<br />
alongside Creating Links - an<br />
organisation who engages<br />
members of the community<br />
through innovative programs<br />
and activities by identifying local<br />
needs - reading to children<br />
at the Community Reading Day<br />
in Chester Hill.<br />
Each student was given the<br />
opportunity in a leadership<br />
workshop to fine-tune and reflect<br />
on their skills with Sydney<br />
Thunder boss, Lee Germon<br />
- readying them for their final<br />
years of schooling.<br />
Star Thunder BBL wicketkeeper<br />
Jay Lenton and WBBL<br />
veteran Alex Blackwell - among<br />
others - featured throughout the<br />
program sharing their insights<br />
on leadership, goal-setting and<br />
belonging.<br />
Sydney Thunder General Manager<br />
Lee Germon and WBBL<br />
star Hannah Darlington were on<br />
deck to present each individual<br />
with their leadership awards.<br />
“Sydney Thunder is committed<br />
to providing real and<br />
genuine opportunities for people<br />
across the Thunder Nation”<br />
Germon said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Thunder Leadership<br />
Program enables students to<br />
develop their leadership skills,<br />
grow their self-confidence and<br />
feel a sense of belonging in their<br />
community.”<br />
Sydney Thunder pride themselves<br />
on engaging with their<br />
surrounding community and<br />
giving back to their fans - this<br />
year alone, the Thunder have<br />
helped provide over 63,000<br />
meals to those in need through<br />
Thunder Nation.<br />

Hunters Hill and Lane Cove women<br />
asked to share inspiring stories<br />
A NEW project is inviting women in Hunters Hill and Lane Cove are being encouraged<br />
to share their achievements and discuss the challenges of re-entering the<br />
workforce.<br />
<strong>The</strong> story sharing project titled<br />
‘<strong>The</strong> NSW Inspirational Women<br />
Online Showcase’ aims to feature<br />
a range of women sharing<br />
videos online and giving advice<br />
for other women.<br />
Lane Cove MP Anthony Roberts<br />
hopes that women of all<br />
ages with inspiring stories of<br />
courage will take part in this initiative.<br />
“I would encourage the women<br />
of the Lane Cove Electorate<br />
who feel they can offer encouragement<br />
or inspiration to other<br />
women to share their stories<br />
and participate in the online<br />
mentoring campaign,” he said.<br />
“Women from our community<br />
come from all walks of life<br />
and have valuable insights that<br />
can empower young women to<br />
develop confidence and reach<br />
their full potential.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign is part of the<br />
NSW Women’s Strategy 2018-<br />
2022 which Mr Roberts described<br />
as a whole-of-government<br />
response to improve the<br />
economic, social and physical<br />
wellbeing of women.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Minister for Women Tanya<br />
Davies hopes the project will<br />
particularly help women to re<br />
enter the workforce after maternity.<br />
“Giving women access to<br />
information, support and networks<br />
is vital to ensure they see<br />
a broad range of career opportunities<br />
available to them and<br />
can also help make re-entry<br />
into the workforce after having a<br />
family less overwhelming,” she<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se videos will inspire<br />
and encourage all women,<br />
young and old, to follow paths<br />
they may have otherwise overlooked,<br />
by seeing how others<br />
are navigating their way and<br />
overcoming challenges unique<br />
to women.<br />
“Enabling women to build<br />
confidence and resilience to<br />
pursue careers and opportunities<br />
in traditionally male-dominated<br />
fields is one of the aims<br />
of this new NSW Government<br />
online mentoring campaign.”<br />
Mr Roberts said the videos<br />
can now by viewed on a smart<br />
Some mothers may be<br />
overwhelmed by the prospect<br />
of resuming a career<br />
after maternity, but a new<br />
project can offer advice.<br />
phone.<br />
“Videos can be filmed on a<br />
smart phone or on a tablet and<br />
will be reviewed to ensure they<br />
highlight a diverse range of insights,<br />
stories and accomplishments;<br />
they will be available on<br />
the Women NSW website and<br />
social media channels,” he said.<br />
