New
animal adventures at RSPCA
RSPCA is introducing some new activities to kick off the
New Year in the January school holidays. The sessions commence on
January 5, once Christmas is over and kids start looking for something
to do.
New for the littlies are Purr-fect Paws and Waggy Tails,
which introduce 4-6 year olds to caring for cats and dogs, as well as
some creature-related craft and tales.
Fresh attractions for the bigger kids are Twisted
Creations, an exclusive session with a balloon artist, and Radical
Reptiles, where theyíll get up close with a range of scaly creatures
from geckos to snakes and even frogs!
RSPCA has increased the age range too for the summer
holidays, with activities designed to suit children aged from 4-15.
One thing hasnít changed: all sessions involve animal
interaction, often including a tour of the dog kennels and cattery,
and are good value for money from $15-$20.
Bookings open on December 12 and are essential on 9209 9325
or visit www.rspcawa.asn.au
for more information.
Wild About Animals, a joint session with Perth Zoo and
RSPCA, is also back these holidays. To register your child one of
these popular sessions, call the Zoo on 9474 0365.
MercyCare
Fostering Services are recruiting foster carers
MercyCare Fostering Services provides foster care
placements in the community to children aged 0ñ18 years. Our Foster
Carerís provide a stable family environment to children whom cannot
live with their biological families.
The Carers become the nurturers, supporters and
primary facilitators of development for their child and offer a family
base, guidance, love, flexibility to respond to their childís needs,
advocacy and foundations for strong healthy relationships. Marcyís
carers become part of the dedicated support team that works towards
providing the best care and opportunities to children.
There has been an increase in the number of children
requiring Foster Care and in 2010ñ2011. Over 3500 children were in
care in WA as reported by DCP. The majority of these children were
under 10 years of age.
Foster Carers are ordinary people making
extraordinary differences to children and young people in care. Foster
Care recruitment, assessment and training is a comprehensive process
of about 4 months, in which time you will have opportunities of
developing your knowledge, skills and strategies of child development
and parenting.
We welcome you to join MercyCare Fostering Services.
Please call 9442 3444 or email fosteringservices@mercycare.com.au

When
did you last speak to your mortgage broker?
Itís important to keep an eye on your home loan
to ensure that you have the most competitive deal in the market.
Since the Federal Government banned exit fees on mortgages from
1 July 2011, not only has it increased competition between the banks,
but itís also given consumers more flexibility in shopping around
for better options.
As we all want the best for our children, consistently reviewing your
financial situation is fundamental to ensuring a successful outcome.
Itís crucial that you make the decision to take control of
your finances as it may end up costing you and your family thousands
of dollars over the term of your loan.
If you havenít reviewed your home loan or your personal insurance
plan for some time, take advantage of a complimentary financial health
check from an MFAA Approved Broker and Financial Adviser. Call Craig
today on 0439 973 459 or email craig@worlwidegroup.com.au
