Nappy Valley = Naremburn

Despite thunder and lightening this evening, more than 120 people arrived at the St Leonards Catholic Church Parish Hall to make it known that Naremburn needs a school. It was good news then to hear from both Deonne Smith (Regional Director,DET) and Brother Tony Whelan (Catholic Education Office)that they were going to talk to each other and also to find out later, that there was "someone from the Property Division " lurking in the audience. We passed a motion which amongst other things :
. committed the Department & the Church to work together, to provide a school within 2 years
. set up a community working party to establish the case for a school and call on Ministers for Education and Transport
. required a 'report back' within 3 months

Thanks to Delia from Probate St who coined "Nappy Valley", to Gladys for her committment to represent us on this and to the Progress Association for organisation & publicity. Most of all, thanks to Karen and Belinda who have worked so hard to get to this point - nice going Naremburn!

And here's beautiful Belinda, with everyone's favourite neighbour John and Geoff, a longstanding resident who cares passionately about this community.
