Students have
chance to learn
how to be Australian
By Chris Colbourn
Mitchell Advocate staff
G'Day..G'Day, G•Day,
as the old Aussie folk
song goes.
And that was exactly
what an• Aussie- was
singing in the gym at St.
Patrick's, school 'in Dublin
last Wednesday.
Aside froma koala,
.numerous Australian flags
and pictures of Sydney.
the gymnasium. was filled.
wall to wall with smiles as
they were given a hour=
long briefing on how to be
Australian. -
Students from both St.
Patrick's School and St.
Columban were
entertained by the Aussie
Show. created and
performed by Kitchener
resident ' (formerly . of
Tasmania). Peter Shaw.
Shaw began-the•show with
a story abc'ut how the
-koala bear got .its 'name.
-then moved right into an
Australian folk. song, all
thewhile holding his
audience spellbound.
After. firmly putting the
spirit of "the land down
under" into the spectators,
Shaw, showed a slide
presentation of his home
province of Tasmania.
then went on to show
pictures of the Olympic
facilities (taken in April).
During one part of the
show, Shaw had student
volunteers participate by
playing a wobble board (a
thin piece of wood used to
simulate thunder) and by
acting out a character
from the outback.
Shaw closed his program
with a rousing version of
,'Bingo' and a tribute to
Canada with the folk song.
'This land is your land,' to
the delight of the
audience. •
.Shaw, who was a teacher
in Australia. England and
Canada for over 10 years,
said he takes his two-year-
old Aussie show to
schoolsand nursing homes
around South -Western
Ontario.
'I love pleasing•the
audience." he said about
why he does his show. "1
get a lot of satisfaction
(going to retirement
homes and schools)."
Shaweven ha's his own
website at
www.perershaw.conr, and
is complete with•'a short
biography, pictures and
contact information:

What a mess...

Senior students at Seaforth District High School became military
leaders of squads of Grade 9s in a special 'welcome" day held
last Wednesday to helpthe students feel more at home in their
new school. They were divided into squads, made to march,
recite songs, dance, fry like bacon on the ground and play
numerous games involving ketchup, paint and gross foods. In
one activity, students had a choice to either eat or wear the
mystery item found in brown paper bags; it could be anything
from chocolate to baby food. (above) James Burns leads his
squad,headed by Brian Wernham in front, through a march
while another squad (left) had to reach into a container of smelly
guck to pull out letters until they spelled SDHS in the correct order.
