Success Habits for Teenagers - Developing your most valuable resource – YOU!

We recognise that building a platform for success, inspiration and fulfilment goes well beyond the traditional 3R’s of Language, Reading, and Mathematics. While a baseline of knowledge and technical skills is necessary, it is the balancing act of character, values, motivational and interpersonal or emotional competencies that gives students the right context for applying those skills effectively in the 21st century.

Sunday - 18th April 2010 

Dream Career for Teenagers - Find success and freedom doing what you love best! 

Your career decision is one of the most important choices you will make in your lifetime. Far too many people work in seemingly dead-end jobs that seem to be heading nowhere. All too often, they simply cannot wait for retirement to come along. And in the meantime, they “get by” with jobs that they’re ill-equipped to manage, that neither satisfy nor stimulate them. Some may be well-remunerated, and yet find their work to be a spiritual void. “Trapped” by invisible “golden” handcuffs – a slave to a job that provides security but neither stimulates nor bears meaning or purpose.

Pencil Factory image from Staedtler

I am sure once upon a time, the pencil was your best friend - to draw a picture, to design a Mother's Day card and to learn to write your name for the first time!

Ever wonder what are the parts of a pencil? Do you know what are they made of? How is a pencil made?

Surviving a snake attack!

Surviving a snake attack !

What to expect? What would you do?

Read the 1000 Questions and Answers about Australian Wildlife by Steve Parish Publishing,  suggested a few interesting tips to give us an understanding about snake attack and what to do.

 

1.Which snakes are rated as Australia's deadliest?  Surprised

  • The Taipan and the Inland Taipan (sometimes called the Fierce
    Snake    ) have the most potent venom, and the     Mulga Snake has the greatest amount of venom of all Australian snakes.

2. How does a snake give warning it is about to strike?

  • It raises and inflates the front part of its body, flattens its neck and may move its fore-body from side to side.

  3. True or false? Snakes are not affected by the venom of their own species. 

  • TRUE!!!!!!Laughing

  4. Does all snake venom act on the victim's body in the same way? 

  • NO - the venom of just one species may act on several body systems or organs.

  5. Very important question here........- What is modern recommended first aid for snakebite?
