In brief
TENTERFIELD’S Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School students returned to school this week to find some school holiday improvements.
Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall said that the school was one of two to have work worth $38,000 completed during the term one school holidays.
“The school holiday period provides the opportunity to repair school facilities, or start new projects, while students and staff are out of the classroom,” Mr Marshall said.
“While both these projects are relatively small, they will make a big difference to the school environment.”
He said the primary school had new handrails and ramps completed while the other project was stage two of a toilet block upgrade at Armidale City Public School.
“I am very pleased these works have been completed during the holidays, complementing more than $2.3 million worth of improvements completed at local schools less than five months ago during the Christmas break,” Mr Marshall said.
Free presentations
HUMAN helplessness and hopelessness will be the focus of an upcoming series of free presentations to be offered by the Seventh-day Adventist Churches in both Warwick and Stanthorpe.
Beginning this Friday evening 2 May, at 7pm, each hour-long session will explore the historic, and prophetically predicted, rise and fall of world powers. The programs will further identify the next world dominating super-power – and the life-and-death implications for everyone on earth.
According to Pastor Trevor Mawer the programs speak to a universal set of hopes and fears.
“Our world is about to be transformed forever. There is good news, however, preparedness is critical.”
Presentations are scheduled for both Warwick and Stanthorpe Seventh-day Adventist churches. Information and bookings phone 1300 896 428.
