Every year I host the Kiama Electorate Community Recognition Awards.

Whist nominations for the 2021 Community Awards have now closed, I always encourage local residents, community and emergency services groups from across the Kiama electorate to nominate somebody extraordinary to have them recognised.

We have so many dedicated volunteers, inspirational community organisations, service clubs, emergency services personnel and small business people right across the Kiama Electorate.

If you have missed out this year, please keep an eye out for the 2022 Awards next year.

Thank you,  Gareth Ward.

In this seminar, parenting author and educator and ‘boy champion’ Maggie Dent shares insights, tips and common-sense wisdom from her 2020 book, From Boys to Men: Guiding our teen boys to grow into happy, healthy men. Adolescence is a confusing time for teens and their parents and carers — and our boys have some particular challenges that we need to understand if we are to guide them safely to healthy manhood.

Maggie explores in a compassionate, practical way how we can:

• communicate effectively with our boys
• teach your lad to cope with loss and failure, and recover well
• help them foster healthy friendships and intimate relationships
• the importance of the line in the sand
• navigating middle school and high school
• ‘unstick’ an unmotivated son.

This seminar will empower and enlighten anyone who lives or works with boys 12-25.
