COMMISSIONER AND MILLENNIUM KIDS SIGN COMMITMENT TO YOUNG AUSTRALIANS Commissioner for Children and Young People Michelle Scott and Millennium Kids pledged their commitment to the wellbeing of young Australians in a signing ceremony at Baldivis yesterday (Sunday June 8). The Commissioner and Millennium Kids co-president Gabby Knowles signed the Australian Research Alliance for Children & Youth’s Commitment to Young Australians which outlines seven principles that are essential to improving the wellbeing of Australia’s young people. “The signing of this Commitment is a public acknowledgement of my dedication to always strive to make Western Australia a better place for all children and young people,” Ms Scott said. “Children are our most precious asset. They need to be cherished, nurtured and loved for whom they are now, and for the sake of whom they will be in the future. “This commitment acknowledges the valuable contributions children and young people make to the community, their right to live in a safe environment that encourages their potential and the need to support and resource families to nurture children and young people.” The signing was held at a Millennium Kids’ The Quest for Sustainability event at Baldivis Children’s Forest sponsored by BHP Billiton where children and their families planted trees, and learnt about native fauna and Indigenous culture in the area. “It was great to be able to sign the agreement as working with children to develop a positive sustainable future is our main business at Millennium Kids. It was wonderful that so many are committed to children and young people.” Said Gabby Howlett. Find out more about the Commitment to Young Australians at www.aracy.org.au

Report from Georgina at The Quest Esperance Developed by Millennium Kids and BHP Billiton On the 26th and 27th of Feb Millennium kids held a leadership program for children aged 10-17. Four Esperance schools attended and thoroughly enjoyed it as well as myself. Millennium kids is a worldwide environmental youth organisation run by kids for kids, working on community development projects and solving sustainability issues. During the workshop we worked on 2 projects, had special guests and covered some school curriculum subjects in a practical way. • The Quest :Our local projects During the workshop we worked on 2 projects .Our projects had to relate to the words Olympics, China, gold and minerals, Esperance and sustainability. We will run them ourselves once planning is finished. The projects are a surf contest and mini Olympics. We had to plan the cost of our projects, gather the materials we needed, assess the risks and find solutions for them. Once we had covered most aspects of our projects we learnt about sponsors and how to approach them. BHP Billiton is sponsoring the program. • Special guests During the program some special guests visited us. A BHP Billiton representative watched our progress and informed us how BHP is working to make their business sustainable. A Millennium Kids representative and surfer came from Dunsborough to support us in our projects over the two days. We were also visited by an Esperance Shire representative who has shown interest in our projects. • This program relates to the school curriculum because it teaches us life skills, project management, teamwork, risk assessment and leadership skills. Our projects attend to leadership, peace and lifestyle issues in the community. During the two days I enjoyed how we were given the chance to do something for the community, while getting the support of adults. Everyone worked together and supported each others ideas. This program is really good for self confidence and leadership skills. It came at the right time giving me more confidence to put forward my ideas at school and in life. This program will be repeated at some stage and I believe it would benefit children from Our Lady Star Of The Sea if they came along. Where from here ? I am going to Bremer Bay for an other 3 day workshop from the 10th to 12th of March. Selected students from Esperance, Kalgoorlie and Kwinana will learn & experience more about leadership. On our first day we will learn about leadership and team work through a sea kayaking adventure. So stay in tune for more details next time. Georgina Year 7

Thirty young people ventured to Fairbridge WA Inc over the weekend to take part in a sustainability program with a difference. The students had been nominated by their schools to help develop THE QUEST, a program that will be showcased in Kalgoorlie, Esperance and Kwinana in 2008. The only problem was that the program had to be developed by kids for kids. BHP Billiton and Millennium Kids had agreed on a framework and mutual goals, but the kids had to develop the concepts and the program to be rolled out in the different locations with the key focus being on the Olympics 2008. And the kids came up with a feast of creative ideas to take on the road with them in 2008. Using materials from ReMida, the Creative Reuse Centre in Stirling the kids created a series of characters including Para Olympians, Greek Goddesses, Donkeys and their carts, journalists and commentators, a Cameleer named Wahid and a Chinese laundromat owner who will be woven into an Olympic performance and workshop series that will tour the locations in 2008.

In 2000, a team from North West Province in South Africa visited Millennium Kids in Western Australia. From that time on they forged a friendship that would see Millennium Kids Global Project South Africa develop as a small group of adults and young people determined to make change. The road has been difficult but the friendship and committment has not changed. Australian kids and South African kids committed to working together to make a better world. In 2007, Millennium Kids in Australia have raised over $A17,000 to help MKGP South Africa develop their own office. The money will also assist Stadt Primary School develop a Clean Up Molopo River Project and help Ntshidi Middle School develop a Food Garden Project. Many thanks to Leonie Moncrieff, Penrhos College and Kate Laurendi of Millennium Kids for working so hard to help. Thanks also to Maureen and Simon McDaniell for making the film 'Taste Of Africa' to help promote the work done by our good friends Mxolisi, Yvonne and their fabulous team.

Hello Millennium Kids We are currently discussing how we could use myspace effectively to promote MK in Australia and around the world and to get kids communicating about the environment and sustainability issues. Alex a MK member from England says: "yeah that yould be good to see MK have a myspace up and running. I could get aload of my friends interested that way and spread the word over to this country there are many issues affecting Britain environmentally, and to be quite honest, the government responses to them have been apalling. there is not enough being done but the youth of this country do not care much for anything that does not directly affect themselves. it is a shame really but not much can be done at the moment. a change in attitude would be a big step in the right direction" Please send us your ideas so we can get something up and running for you soon.

www.savesmithsbeach.com Hello to all my Millennium Kids Friends. I am a Millennium Kid and I have sent you this email and the link above in hopes that you all have a look at the site and make a public submission to the Busselton Shire. Personally I am against the development. I have travelled to the other side of the world so that I can sit out in the line-up and look back at natural bushland and forest. That is what is unique about this land. We must preserve what we have left. If people want developed coastlines then let them travel to the Gold Coast or Long Beach, New York. Thanks, Brendan La Mar Millennium Kids Member

THE 2007 COMMUNITY IDOL LOCAL KIDS ACKNOWLEDGED FOR WORK Megan Hudson and Catrina-Luz Aniere recently attended the Our Community - Communities In Control Conference in Melbourne, thanks to a sponsorship from Alcoa World Alumina Australia. The conference brought together over 1500 people from across Australia involved in a range of not for profit organisations. Millennium Kids were also awarded a Special Commendation at the conference as part of The 2007 Community Idol Award. Millennium Kids were acknowledged for their work in relation to training young people to be advocates and create practical action projects in their community. The award highlighted Millennium Kids ability to partner with Alcoa and Challenger TAFE to develop a youth training program which was trailed with Sevenoaks Senior College and the Public Transport Authority, where young people at the school developed initiatives to address youth issues on the train service. The resulting Right Track Program has been so successful that it is now being rolled out on the Midland and Southern Line. 'Millennium Kids has been operating for over 10 years, getting young people to think about how they can make a positive contribution to the future and receiving the Special Commendation acknowledges our ability to create best practice youth to youth consultation processes that help inspire young people to create practical projects that enhance their community,’ said Megan Hudson (22) Education Officer and Youth Board Member of Millennium Kids. Millennium Kids were thrilled with the award as 500 organisations applied for the Community Idol Award - an award that celebrates best practice community service work across Australia. After the conference Megan and Catrina will have the opportunity to take part in the Alcoa Community Partner & Governance Scholarship and complete the Certificate 1V Business (Governance) program developed through the Australian Institute of Community Practice and Governance.

Perth Zoo has a long partnership with Millennium Kids Inc, a not-for-profit, non-government youth environmental organisation. The group is run by young people aged 10–25 who are committed to improving the environment through conservation action. The programs are directed by their own youth board and are supported by the United Nations Environmental Program Agenda 21 Declaration which states that “national governments should pay more attention to the opinions and concerns of children regarding the environment”. One program, The Millennium Kids Sustainability Roadshow, aims to engage students from Western Australian schools in sustainability. These roadshows occur over a two-day period across WA, and Perth Zoo has been an active supporter of each one. On 8 and 9 May, Perth Zoo hosted the final Millennium Kids Sustainability Roadshow for 2007 which involved 140 Year 4–7 students from 10 different primary schools. This roadshow was particularly significant as students from Tunas Hijau, the Indonesian chapter of Millennium Kids, were invited as special guests, along with representatives from the Indonesian Consulate. Given the presence of our Indonesian neighbours, the roadshow was adapted to embrace an Asian theme. Students were able to participate in an Asian Conservation Zoo Tour, led by the Perth Zoo Education Team and Perth Zoo Docent volunteers. This provided students with an ideal opportunity to learn more about the changing role of the modern Zoo. Along their journey, students examined various aspects of Perth Zoo including getting conservation messages across to visitors, releasing animals into the wild, enrichment and animal care, community partnerships and establishing breeding programs for threatened species. In keeping with the Asian theme, students learnt about each of these different aspects through visits to the Silvery Gibbons, Asian Elephants and Sun Bears. One of the tour locations was Perth Zoo’s newly built interpretive hub, Bukit Station, where students had the privilege of meeting Kris Padang who works with the Indonesian Department of Forestry and a Sumatran Orang-utan reintroduction program at Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Sumatra, Indonesia. Kris was visiting Perth Zoo on three months work experience to learn new skills. Perth Zoo is providing training opportunities as part of its commitment to support the conservation of wildlife and habitat in and around Bukit Tigapuluh National Park. Students learnt how one of Perth Zoo’s captive-bred Sumatran Orang-utans, Temara, was prepared for release into Bukit Tigapuluh and how she is adapting to life in the rainforest. This was a unique opportunity for the students. The Millennium Kids philosophy is to ensure that youth have a voice on all matters environmental. Throughout the two-day Millennium Kids Sustainability Roadshow students shared thoughts on what they like about their world and what they would like to change. The environmental areas that the students discussed were collated and categorised into seven key areas—energy, native animals, peace, trees, waste, water and air. Interestingly, these key areas reflected what youth in Indonesia also felt. After a little discussion, a sneak peak at Perth Zoo’s Education Rooms and hearing stories and observing images that were historically significant to Perth, students developed plans outlining what actions they could take to care for the environment. These included becoming more travel smart, planting native gardens to attract animals back to an area, cleaning up waterways and helping support conservation projects in the wild. These action plans will be brought back to the students’ respective schools for implementation. Sophia Spencer, Education Officer, Perth Zoo

On Sunday 11th February the Minister for The Environment, Hon Tony McRae MLA will visit members of the Tunas Hijau Club, in Surabaya, Indonesia. The students from the Indonesian group have been working with Millennium Kids Australia since inception in 1999. Tunas Hijau Founder and President, Mohamed Zamroni (26), first met with MK representatives in Perth in 1999. Since that time MK has mentored and supported the development of the program in Indonesia, through training for staff and youth programs. Students from Tunas Hijau have visited Australia on numerous occasions to work with the young people of Millennium Kids to find out more about programs being run in Western Australia. The meeting with the Minister will enable Tunas Hijau to profile their work and show how the partnership between MK and Tunas Hijau has promoted an exchange of ideas in relation to protecting the environment through projects that empower young people to be aware and active in their environment.

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE (A WASTE WISE) CHRISTMAS T'was the night before Christmas and all through my strawbale home I'd wrapped my recycled gifts and had time to write a poem! The children were snuggled in their recycled wood beds, Cooled by the energy efficient ceiling fan over their heads, Recycled decorations hung on our indigenous Christmas tree, And home made cards adorned the chimney. When out in the water wise garden there was a clatter, I ran to the double glazed windows to see what was the matter. And there next to the compost bin did suddenly appear, A bio-diesel powered vehicle powered by eco-reindeer. The jolly driver hoping that all would see, That he had a new red polar fleece outfit - made from recycled P.E.T. He jumped on the roof and down the solar panels he flew, To deliver the gifts he had made, reused or grew! And if by sheer magic and through a green vapour, Came presents wrapped in bits of recycled paper! For Sally a recycled plastic frisbee and for Jimmy recycled wool socks, Each wrapped with old ribbon and in a reused box. A recycled toner cartridge for Mary and calico bag for Jag, Now they could go to the shops and not use a plastic bag. With a job well done he got back on his recycled plastic sleigh, Ready to travel far far away. But just before leaving he yelled and turned about - 'Have a Buy Recycled Christmas - and remember to put your recycling out!'

Walpole Odyessy - Focussing on Indigenous Youth Leadership Sevenoaks Senior College indigenous students will meet in Walople during December to focus on indigenous youth leadership. The students have been meeting with Millennium Kids over the last six weeks to design and implement their own youth leadership program. What is youth leadership? What is indigenous youth leadership? How can we work together to make a better future? As part of these discussions the students have been keen to develop a positive imagine for indigenous students in the media. Through Millennium Kids, students were able to partner with the Right Track Program, a Public Transport Authority initiative, to help young people understand the dangers around train tracks in the Cannington area. The students were filmed as part of the video production and 'had a say' about youth issues and promoted a positive indigenous youth message. The students also met with Paul Llewellyn,MP, at Parliament House to talk leadership. The students were interested to hear about what inspired Paul Llewellyn to become an MP and represent his community. The program will culminate in a 7 day kayaking and teamwork program in Walpole, Franklin River, in December 2006. The kids will camp, learn about bush tucker and learn about different styles of leadership through a series of adventures in the program. They will meet Paul Llewellyn again and share ideas about leadership. At the end of the program students will present a report to Paul Llewellyn and other government leaders.

Collecting eggs from nests, wading across the Swan River, fishing, prawning, a baby found in an old log! All these stories have been discovered by students researching the history of the Swan River and used to develop “The Swash Line– A South Perth Wongi , a play commissioned by Millennium Kids Inc and written by local playwright Monica Main . The play will form the backdrop of a new program being launched in the City of South Perth – Exploring the Riverbank and Waterways. Students from schools in the City of South Perth will have the opportunity to view the performance, interview Senior Citizens about their adventures on the river and create a vision for the river in the future. These visions will be presented to the City of South Perth, providing the Council with an opportunity to consult with young people about river health and ways to involve young people in addressing river care issues. The visions will be used to create an installation series – Waterworks - as part of the South Perth Fiesta in 2007. The first day of the program was launched at South Perth Primary School last week. Students at South Perth Primary School focussed on the Milyu Nature Reserve which is an area they adopted in 1992. Milyu is a habitat for migratory birds, with the Reserve running adjacent to the Kwinana Freeway. “It was great talking to the older people about the river,” one student said. “The man told us he really liked the changes on the river because there where more parks now, but then he stopped and said maybe we should have kept some of the bush because that is where we had all our adventure – and maybe kids can’t have those adventures now!” For more information about the program schools and the community can contact Millennium Kids on 9364 1200 - particularly if you want to share your special river story with the kids.

Did you see a Gilbert's Poteroo at the Walk Against Warming in Perth on 3rd November 2006. If you think you did you were not seeing things. Millennium Kids chose to take part in the walk as they are very concerned about climate change. The kids dressed up in various outfits - with snorkels and goggles to boot - to highlight the plight of humans and our native animals if we don't address climate change now. Millennium Kids has been sponsored by Darie Pty Ltd to help young people find out more about the plight of the Gilbert's Poteroo and students from Bateman and Sevenoaks have started to develop an information package for schools to help them learn more - more updates soon.

Fifteen Year 7 students from Lancelin Primary School visited the City of Stirling this week to attend the Millennium Kids Sustainability Roadshow. Marshmallows and spagehtti towers and 107 Up helped kids learn a little bit about teamwork and co operation. The 60 students at the Roadshow, funded by Department for Planning and Infrastructure, the Physical Activity Taskforce and the City of Stirling, developed a plan to reduce car use to and from their school. Lancelin students were surprised to learn how many students travelled to school by car. The students will all return to their school and put their plan into action. Return to this site soon for more information.

The next Millennium Kids meeting will be held on Sunday the 7th of May between 12-3pm at our Heathcoate head office. Feel free to come along as we will be planning the MK October conference to be held in Bunbury this year. ADDRESS: Heathcote 58 - 60 Duncraig Rd Applecross WA
