Welcome Football Mad Soccer School - 28th Dec 2009

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Hi Everyone,

With such fine weather over the past week, especially Christmas day, those kinds of sunny days really recharge the energy levels of yourself and the family. I not only enjoy family time, but use this time to pause, look back to go forward. The cycle of renewal. We are excited about the coming year and look forward to sharing it with you.

Football Mad Soccer School

Innovation in Education

Focus: Enterprise Focus
The definition of enterprise is “an undertaking”. This fits nicely to the need, opportunity or problem that starts the technological process. From then on it becomes an undertaking. Purposeful and worthwhile. The focus of the enterprise can be personal, community, business or environmental. So we want to nurture their enterprise and the benefits that arise from it. This can include having them organise their own sports and games, practicing and performing theatre and music as well putting on the Kidz Inc Kiva market stall. This activity shows children they can make a difference in the world through enterprising action, and 'making a difference' is an empowerment activity. It fosters a sense of confidence, develops leadership skills and focuses on solutions rather than the problems. By engaging in this type of learning, children can be more resilient in times of uncertainty, thus being more likely to succeed.

But great success comes from how you get their, and that is the topic to open the New Year.

The Last Laugh

An idle drug addled Hippie strolled into the Dole office to pick up his dole cheque. He marched straight up to the counter and said, 'Gidday, thanks for the cheque, but you know, I just HATE drawing the dole. I'd really rather have a job.'

The woman behind the counter said, ' Your timing is excellent, Sir. We have just received a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a
chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes.

Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say, but you will also have as part of your job assignment, to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive.

A two-bedroom loft type apartment with plasma TV, stereo, bar, etc. located above the garage will be designated for your sole use and the salary
is $200,000 a year. '

The hippie wide-eyed, said, 'You're bullshittin' me!'

The Dole office worker replied, 'Yeah, well . . You started it.'
