Donna Lingard is a familiar face to many children who attend local Outside School Hours Care and Vacation Care programs. After moving to Noosaville 27 years ago, she discovered a passion for sharing experiences, listening to young people and discussing issues important to children from primary school through to secondary years.
As her own daughters entered their teen years, Donna noticed changes occurring among many of the young people she was working with.
“Young people are now facing more challenges with friendships, bullying and changing behaviour patterns,” she said.
Wanting to find positive ways to support the children, Donna looked to the young people themselves rather than relying solely on adult perceptions of what they needed. She began collecting inspirational quotes she overheard in school settings, during activities and in group discussions.
The children also completed special worksheets, contributing helpful words, phrases and ideas designed to help others “create, achieve and live their dreams”.
The result is My World Rox, a collection of positive ideas and inspiring thoughts from young people, along with contributions made from several teachers. Donna explained a common saying among youngsters when things go well is, “Everything rox”, which inspired the book’s title.
Recently the Kind Community Project’s founder Robyn Simpson received a box of books from Donna, who generously donated them to Yr6 girls at Eumundi State School at the end of last term.
My World Rox is available for $10. Contact Donna at: dlingard1@bigpond.com. ...

There has been much debate about the distinction between Hippeastrum and Amaryllis plants, and if you have a half hour to spare, consult Wikipedia: t.ly/5JHiE. ...
