Bondi FM

This morning with Bondi FM's Dale Stevens
Bondi Public School Artist in Residence Committee members
Sue Midgley and Wilma Sherliker and their children Gigi and Tasman
did a half hour segment with Dale and introduced the programme
into the Bondi community. We have already rec'd phone calls from
Bondi artists who listened in.

As part of the lead up to our Press and Media launch on the 29th
November, we were amazed again at the positive feedback we have
had talking about this exciting initiative.

We now have 3 ex students attending the launch,
John Pilger, author, film and documentary maker(www.pilger.carlton.com)
Mrs Margaret Whitlam who needs no introduction
Mr Peter Moscatt, Mayor of Waverley
