There’s a need for a place of worship, a mosque, for a very large and growing Muslim community in Springfield Lakes and surrounding suburbs. Can you please help in this regard to secure a place or land for a Mosque?

When I was 5, I proudly led my school group in a Greek Independence Day parade š¬š·
Today I was honoured to join our wonderful Greek Orthodox Community of Saint George, Brisbane with Member for South Brisbane Barbara O'Shea MP for a special church & wreath laying service to mark the occasion.
Greek Independence Day š¬š· celebrated on 25 March is one of the most important for those of us with Greek heritage - even many years later.
Zito i Ellas!

āBring a Plateāā¦such a great Aussie term but doesnāt always translate the same way for those new to our country.
I heard a great story once about someone invited to ābring a plateāā¦who brought an entire dinner service because they thought the hosts didnāt have plates! š
I joined the gang at Gailes Community House - Family and Community Hub today for a wonderful āHarmony Dayā celebrationā¦we all ābrought a plateā - great company and wonderful food from different cultures. ... See MoreSee Less

Back in my teaching days we had a welcome BBQ for new staff and it was a ‘Bring a Plate’ invitation. So that is exactly what the recently arrived South African teacher did - brought a plate for herself and hubby. Learnt a lot of things that year did our wonderful import.
My mum was invited when we first came to Australia and was told to bring s plate and she bought empty plates... so not alone there
Check out these fantastic Active Travellers from Woogaroo Creek State School who rode their bikes š² and scooters š“ as part of National Ride2School Day.
Did you know that in 1976, 29% of students were driven to school. š
By 2020, that figure is up to 66% of students being driven. ššš
I would love to see more of our local students āwalking and wheelingā to school and welcome any suggestions on how we create more opportunities in our community for active school travel. ... See MoreSee Less

I think one of the main suggestions would be upkeeping safe pathways for children to walk/ride on.
In the 80’s most children walked to Camira state school. Some wanted to ride their bikes but they were not allowed to ride on the footpath (actually policed at times). Old Logan Rd was not as wide as it is today with gravel on the side of barely one lane each way. A little dangerous for children on wheels. Children used to walk in quite large groups which was lovely to see. Safety in numbers of course. Not many car parks needed in those days.
If we could afford to not have to rush to work everyday after school drop off and had time to walk/ ride , I know I definitely would love that time with my kids.
Happy International Day of Happiness! š
Iām sharing this photo here with my good friend Milton Dick MP because it might not be my most flattering but boy, it sure sums up happiness for me.
Life can be hard & sometimes unfair but family, friends, community, gratitude and a good laugh are the things that bring me great joy.
Hope something made you happy today. ā¤ļø ... See MoreSee Less
