Coburg Farmers Market

This Saturday!

Brighten someone’s day with Coburg Farmers’ Market gifts this Saturday 9th August!

Who knew that farmers’ markets could be such a great source of gift-giving inspiration! This Saturday, Flavour Station will be bringing their famous mandarin cakes, whilst Rustic Sourdough always offer amazing baked goodies for afternoon treats.

Heidi Honey produce beautiful handmade beeswax candles (pick up a fresh chai while you’re there), and if all else fails a pretty bunch of kale from Boisdale’s Best or Peninsula Fresh Organics is the perfect replacement for flowers!


Bring the family, your dog and shopping bags & enjoy the atmosphere and colour of a real deal farmers’ market at Coburg North Primary School, 180 O’Hea Street  8am – 1pm.

Free Cubby

This has been a well loved Cubby that requires a new home.

It will require someone to remove it and this will need to be done safely so that the area is left safe for the children at Barry Beckett.

Andy Higgins has offered to help remove it if needed......

If any one can remove it and wants it please contact Marie on 9354 6712 Monday-Friday 9am - 4pm.

Regards,


Marie Haak.

Inspiring Results Reveal Kids Self-esteem Breakthroughs

What happens when our children are given the opportunity to practice executing their own ideas?

The results are in and it is clear this process impacts the children involved immediately! After interviewing several kids who have completed one or two of THE DESIGN PROJECT's program the results are a testament for this mission. 

Kids who were originally hesitant to share their ideas and lacking confidence began to have break throughs in knowing that their ideas genuinely matter. They discovered that how they see is unique - and is not measured by the "right or wrong" answer. They also found happiness and joy in their individualism - which in turn builds self-esteem. The ideas began to flow and didn't stop. 

The kids communicated refinement in their ideas - eager to express more of their ideas in another new project. These kids began to see momentum! 

This is about freedom of expression and creative thinking. This process makes a difference in character building – how they interact with others, and value themselves.

What would they achieve if we allowed them to practice this approach over and over until they were young adults? How would that impact their lives? What kind of adult would they become?

It's our jobs as parents to help them learn how to express their wonderful uniqueness within them. Set up your own DESIGN PROJECT at home at minimum. Help them learn their own value. Be a witness in developing their greatness. Your heart will melt and they will be greatly impacted by it.

Lumi Opus Mini Makers are starting a new session of creative thinking. "THE DESIGN PROJECT - Executing Ideas" Program starts August 9th. This term they are designing "Soft Toys".
