03.01.2022 BUCKLE up your helmets and put on your joggers - Ewen Park’s new $3.8 million pedestrian and cycle bridge is open and ready to enjoy. City of Canterbury Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour said the new bridge would improve the way pedestrians and cyclists shared the precinct and connected the Cooks River Cycleway and surrounding areas. Not only will cyclists no longer need to dismount while crossing the Cooks River, the new wider and angled bridge, now provides a more interesting journey over the river, he said. This project took only 12 short weeks to complete with the main structure of the bridge built prior to being assembled on site. The work included a new all-access kayak launch pad, a new path made of crushed sandstone between Lang Road and Younger Avenue in Earlwood and landscaping along the banks of the river.

02.01.2022 CANTERBURY Boys’ High School will name its new school hall after its most famous alumni, former Prime Minister John Howard, after being approved for a multi-million dollar upgrade. The suggestion for the hall’s name came from State MP for Canterbury, Sophie Cotsis, who wrote to Education Minister Sarah Mitchell in 2019 and lodged a petition in the NSW Parliament, pointing out the school had been without a hall for nearly 40 years. Mr Howard graduated from the school in 1956 ...and went on to become the first Liberal Prime Minister entirely educated in the public school system. Founded in 1918, Canterbury Boys’ original hall was converted into a library in the 1980s. Since then, teachers and students have had to use outdoor areas and the local club to host assemblies and special gatherings. Thank you to everyone that signed the petition, Ms Cotsis said. I would like pay tribute and acknowledge Principal Ross Dummett, the school P&C and all the staff for the selfless work they do each and every day - particularly during the Covid-19. Ms Cotsis was joined at the school by Mr Howard and NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet who made the announcement. Our students are the future of our nation and we cannot let any challenges hinder their opportunities to reach their potential, Mr Perrottet said. See more

01.01.2022 WITH a thrilled Inner West Magpies Women team scoring a Grand Final berth, Henson Park was bathed in sunshine for the much-anticipated Women’s Premier Division Preliminary Final match against the East Coast Eagles on Saturday. The Inner West Magpies women were ready to celebrate their fearless Captain Melissa Freckelton’s 150th game with a good showing. And that they did. Elyse Glynn had another superb game in the ruck and gave Freckelton, Belinda Harrison and Erin Todd firs...t use. Evenly poised at half time, the second half got underway with strict instructions to the Magpies to maintain structure and sustain intensity. The team soon piled on five unanswered goals to blow the game wide open. The youth girls led by Ella Heads and Maddie Convery, were instrumental, highlighting that the future of the Magpies is bright. They were supported by Lael Kassem, Rebecca Privitelli, Linda Lodge and Gillian Behan who all showed why they are so well respected. The highlight of the third quarter was Michaela Ekman kicking a 45m monster goal which got the Magpies soaring. Special mention must also go to Meredith Montgomerie. The last quarter saw the Magpies run away with a victory which puts them next in the big dance against the best side all season Manly. Inner West Magpies 6.5.41 defeated East Coast Eagles 4.3.27. It is a remarkable effort noting where the team has been for the last five years and the rebuild that occurred in the off-season, with the team getting better and better every game. Next Saturday’s 1.45 pm Grand Final game at Kanebridge Oval has limited tickets but will be live-streamed at the Magpie Sports Club, 46 Hampton Street, Croydon Park.
