This week there is a heap of News in Football about trading, with players leaving clubs. 2 players from Geelong have left Allen Christensen has gone to Brisbane for personal reasons and Travis Varcoe has gone to Collingwood which is an excellent pick up for them. From Collingwood 2 players have left also, Beams has gone to Brisbane because his Father is unwell and Harriet Lubumbaha has gone to Melbourne, but Melbourne have lost Frawley who has been drafted to Hawthorn. GWS is getting Brian Griffin but the Bulldogs are getting Tom Boyd. It is going to be an exciting draft pick, who will the 18 clubs pick up, we will have to wait and see.

1. I think joy is this: Happy and over coming obstacles that people think is impossible you cant do that, and when I over come it, it brings me a lot of joy. Now I am moving on to hope: if you have hope you can archive anything, that anything is possible, keep the dreams alive, pray for a better tomorrow. Hope and joy are fruits.

2. Glenn McGrath was born in the 9^th February 1970 in Dubbo, New South Wales), is a former Australian cricket player and a part-time Cricket Commentator for Channel Nine’s Cricket coverage. He was a fast-medium pace bowler and is considered one of the greatest bowlers in cricketing history. McGrath holds the world record for the highest number of test wickets by a fast bowler and is fourth on the all-time list, with the top three wicket takers Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, and Anil Kumble all being spin bowlers. He has also taken the sixth highest number of One Day International wickets, and holds the record for the most wickets in the Cricket World Cup. Glenn’s first wife, Jane Louise, they had two children, James and Holly. Jane McGrath fought recurrent battles with breast cancer, having been first diagnosed in 1997. On 26^th January 2008, Jane McGrath died at the age of 42, on 22^nd June 2008 from complications following cancer surgery. In 2002 Glenn and Jane founded the McGrath Foundation, a breast cancer support and education charity in Australia, which raises money to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and increase breast awareness in young women. Following the death of Jane, in May 2014, the McGrath Foundation has placed 98 McGrath Breast Care Nurses around Australia, who have helped support more than 25,000 Australian families.

3. I think that Glenn McGrath has demonstrated hope and joy in so many ways, now I will tell you why: I think the McGrath foundation provides a lot of hope and joy because the foundation raises money for those who have breast cancer. Glenn McGrath showed a lot of hope and joy when he played cricket because he inspired and encouraged people to play cricket. He did this because he was so good and kids everywhere wanted to copy him, also he played in great spirit and his bowling partnerships with Shane Warne were EPIC.

4. I think I could encourage people to play sport and encourage them to do their best. Also I could help others that are in need or need cheering up.

“Here goes nothing” “hurry up Eric” “ok so how do we do this” “wait, what about the introduction the readers want know what is happening in the story” said Owen. “Oh yeah, I’ll say it Owen because my brain is much more developed then yours” “ what how could you say that to me I’m not inviting you to my party now.” “Fine you can say it” “yay, so this is how it started, we live in our own houses and then our parents kicked us out because they just didn’t like us so we were hobos for a year. Then I met Eric on the street so then” “hi can I say something none of this story is real, ill tell you the real story. So we were living in normal houses and our houses were really boring, I went down the street and saw this doofis in the supermarket we became friends, he said that his house is really boring too so we decided to make a tree house but it was to hard for to kids to build our own tree house so we research how to grow a little tree into a 65 story tree house, that’s where we are now.” “Here it grows; get it because I said here it grows instead of go’s” “your so lame Owen, your boring out the readers” “here it go’s so we put some ice cream on the plant and then add some 100s and 1000s and wala” they pause for a minuet or two. “That’s massive it has everything you could think of, how do I know because there is a machine that is labeled everything you could possibly think of, there is a waterpark” “hay talking about a waterpark where is it.” They gasp, “well let’s go to our detective room and get all of our stuff like magnifying glass and our detective gear.” They use the magnifying glass to look around the area they saw a fingerprint and a note saying “give me a million dollars or you die or give me your tree house” we go to our high tech computer room and scan the fingerprint and it says it was Shawn and his group. “We should of known that it was Shawn, he is always stealing our stuff, lets go to his tree house” Eric and Owen go to his tree house. “What are you punks doing here” “um were here to look at your wonderful tree house, oh and may I ask what is that over there” “it is a everything you could possibly think of machine” “yeah that you stole from us.” “Yup where is my million dollars” “right here” I hand over the money Shawn counts the money “here’s your stupid machine” we put the machine in our invisible car and of the go. Sorry guys that is all we have time for in this book, ill see you in the 78^th story tree house.

Nitro Circus

The feeling of the heat from the flame machines was awesome and the adrenaline rush you get when you see someone land a trick that is out of this world. The buttery smell of the yellow salty little clouds of puff was so delicious. The sound was so loud and the music was pumping so much that you could hear it from China. It was so amazing watching all the professionals do their stuff. It was so exciting when they showed a clip of someone doing a trick on the big screen and then one of the members from Nitro Circus had to do it. The one thing that I couldn’t get over was the taste of the beautiful meat pies and the salty sauce that was on them. At the end of the night on the way home it was so quiet and you couldn’t hear a thing because we were all sound asleep.

My Workshop thoughts
I thought our workshop went really well and that we taught the people that came to our workshop lots of interesting info. On the other hand we did get off track a lot. We got good scores from the people that came to our workshop and here is what we thought of some other peoples workshops. I think that we used our time alright, I think we could of managed our time a bit better. The most interesting thing that I learnt was since the First Fleet dropped anchor in 1788, close to 10 million settlers have moved from across the world to start a new life in Australia.

Racism in footy and the multicultural round

I learnt the reason we have the is to bring people together, no matter what cultural background you have. It was created to idolise and put the spotlight on the players that are a little bit different. Nicky Winmar was an AFL player that was abused for his skin colour so in one game he made history and lifted up his shirt and showed everyone that he had dark skin and he was proud of it. There are 118 AFL multicultural players that are ambassadors of the multicultural round.

It was an Interesting workshop and it was good that I was learning about the history of AFL multicultural round and racism. I rate this a 9.5/10.

AUSTRALIA’S IMMIGRATION HISTORY

Since the First Fleet dropped anchor in 1788, close to 10 million settlers have moved from across the world to start a new life in Australia. They have arrived in waves, encouraged by developments like the 1850s gold rushes, or to escape adverse conditions at home such as the Industrial Revolution’s social upheavals in 19th-century Britain, the two world wars and the aftermath of the Vietnam War in the 1970s. Collectively these migrants have helped shape a unique British-based and now multicultural society on the perimeter of Asia.

CONVICT TRANSPORTATION

From 1788 to 1868 Britain transported more than 160,000 convicts from its overcrowded prisons to the Australian colonies, forming the basis of the first migration from Europe to Australia. When these first Europeans arrived they did not find an empty land as expected. They were outnumbered by more than 500,000 indigenous Aboriginal people whose ancestors had lived in Australia for at least 50,000 years.

FREE IMMIGRANTS

Between 1793 and 1850 nearly 200,000 free settlers and assisted immigrants chose to migrate to Australia to start a new life. The majority were English agricultural workers or domestic servants who outnumbered the Irish and Scottish migrants.

LABOURERS

Did you know the Chinese were the third largest migrant group in Australia after the British and Germans by 1901?

Thousands of Chinese people came to Australia during the 1850s gold rushes. When the gold was exhausted many took up market gardening or established businesses such as restaurants or laundries. In the second half of the 19th-century South Sea Islanders were recruited to work on Queensland sugar plantations, Afghan cameleers played a vital role in the exploration and opening up of the Australian outback, and Japanese divers contributed to the development of the pearling industry.

WHITE AUSTRALIA

Did you know migrants had to pass a dictation test in any European language in order to enter Australia between 1901 and 1958?

Following Federation in 1901 Australia’s newly-formed Federal Parliament passed the Immigration Restriction Act, which placed certain restrictions on immigration and aimed to stop Chinese and South Sea Islanders from coming to Australia. These laws, known as the White Australia policy, were administered by a dictation test and informed Australian attitudes to immigration for the next 50 years.

POPULATE OR PERISH

In the years after World War 2, Australia stepped up its immigration with the catchphrase ‘Populate or perish!’ It negotiated agreements to accept more than two million migrants and displaced people from Europe, offered assisted £10 passages to one million British migrants, nicknamed ‘Ten Pound Poms’, and finally, in the 1970s, repealed the restrictive White Australia policy framed in 1901.

BOAT PEOPLE

In the late 1970s, just as the last migrants to travel by ocean liner arrived in Australia, a new wave of seaborne refugees docked in Darwin, firstly from East Timor and then from Indochina. The Vietnamese ‘boat people’ in particular arrived at a time of dramatic social upheaval in Australia, with spirited public debate about our involvement in the Vietnam War, the new concept of multiculturalism, the breaking of many of Australia’s traditional ties with Britain, and the forging of new links with Asia. Despite some opposition from the wider community, the relaxation of immigration restrictions meant that most of the refugees were allowed to settle in Australia. They were followed by a second wave of boat people from Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China in the late 1980s and 1990s.

ASYLUM SEEKERS

Since the late 1990s increasing numbers of asylum seekers fleeing conflict in the Middle East and Sri Lanka have arrived in Australia by boat. They are distinct from the previous two waves of boat people in that they usually involve larger numbers of arrivals and their passage is often organised by people smugglers. Today the question of how to deal with asylum seekers arriving on unauthorised voyages remains one of the most polarising debates in contemporary Australia.

MILESTONES IN AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRACY

I have chosen Saint Jude because he is a good role model. His feast day is on the 28th of October and his origin is Galilee, Israel.  St Jude was one of Jesus’ 12 apostles, chosen to spread the word of the gospel. He was also known as Thaddeus or Thaddaeus – said to be a surname for the name Labbaeus which means “heart” or “courageous”. Jude is often shown with a club or axe, showing the way he died. He is also sometimes pictured with a flame above his head. This refers to the Pentecost, where he and the other apostles received the Holy Spirit. Some choose to carry the image of St Jude on a medal or as a pendant on a necklace to provide comfort. The Shrine of St Jude can be found at the parish church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Faversham, Kent. It was set up in the 1950s by the church’s friars, who noticed they were getting an increasing number of requests for St Jude prayer cards. Donations to “The Shrine of St Jude” began to come in, but one didn’t exist – so Friar Elias Lynch set one up. The qualities he showed were he was a helper in desperate situations and lost causes. He is a patron of desperate causes because he wrote a letter to the Churches of the East saying that when things get difficult or too hard, people should keep trying and things will improve. St. Jude inspires me because he help those who weren’t as lucky as him and encouraged people to always be positive.

Reconciliation is about forgiveness. You tell a priest what you forgive, reconciliation is a belief in other countries.

Anointing Of The Sick:

Old people get anointed, you rub oil on your arms and legs. It’s the sacrament is age.

ANZAC Day is celebrated in Australia and New Zealand on 25 April. Gallipoli is remembered because it is seen as the time when New Zealand first really established its own identity as a country. It is a time when we remember New Zealanders and Australians who fought in wars around the world. We might attend a dawn service and parade talk to older relatives about their memories, buy and wear a red poppy, make ANZAC biscuits, and remember our family members who fought in wars. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troops first landed on the beaches of the Gallipoli Peninsula, in Turkey on 25 April 1915. They were supposed to capture the peninsula so that the British forces and their allies would be able to control the Dardanelles Strait between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Gallipoli was a disastrous campaign. The planning was not good enough, and it was very difficult to land supplies and reinforcements on the beaches. The Turkish forces were in control of the high ground and were able to stop the ANZAC and British forces from making their way to the top. Both New Zealand and Australia suffered huge losses at Gallipoli. Of the 8,556 New Zealanders who served at Gallipoli, 2,721 died and 4,725 were wounded. The forces were finally withdrawn in December 1915.
