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. The flip book - or digital edition/replica - of the 17th April 2019 edition of TWT can be reached here: https://weeklytimes.com.au/the-weekly-times-twt-17th-April-2019/ And the most current edition of TWT is always reachable using this short address: bit.ly/OurTWT

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 />
