LISTEN UP!
Leading the Listen Up Segment this week are three extraordinary students from the City of Stirling, Ashton (Year 11), Susie (Year 7) and Hussine (Year 7) who in November worked with a students from schools all around the area (including Mirrabooka SHS, Nollamara SHS, Chisholm College, St Stephens and Warriapendi Primary school) and the Public Transport Authority and Millennium Kids to develop ideas to discover their freedom using public transport.Now to do this, the kids firstly highlighted a whole series of issues in their community and these related to things they liked and things they didn’t like about their community. Some things that they liked about their community included the beach, sporting grounds and friendly people, however, they didn’t like racism, fights in the street, bullying and that public transport was sometimes not safe to go on. 
From there, Ashton, Susie and Hussine worked with professional marketing people to help them develop a sign that would be placed on the buses and trains that promoted the positive things they do on public transport. Ashton’s sign has an Andy Warhol theme, its brightly coloured and with the slogan – ‘Discover your freedom’. Susie’s sign is cute as could be - its pink with a little cartoon girl starring out the window. Her slogan was ‘With out public transport I would be stuck at home’. Hussine’s slogan is “Public Transport helps me have fun in many ways’ and his sign has a cartoon of him kicking a soccer ball!

THE BIG SWITCH EXPERIMENT UPDATE!
St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls - "One of the biggest areas of concern for kids in Mosman Park is climate change. So St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls Junior school is tackling it head on by adopting a piece of land right next to their school. I caught up with three Year 5 students to explain their plan for the coming months.
Congratulations Sascha, Allie and Isobel for all the hard work you have done so far! I’ll be sure to keep you posted on their bush land adoption and what the girls will be doing over the next term.
