Harmony's Day

Hello everyone.
I feel sorry because I missed this celebration. I think that Harmony day is an important day because this day reminds us that we must to share this land in peace without any feeling of rancour or anger.
I think some people are here because they want to escape from the violence of their countries. They also want to have a better place to see their children growing up and get better opportunities.
Therefore, we have to leave these feelings out of Australia and live in peace.

Library's visit

If you need to borrow a book from the TAFE Library, you need to be registered and your TAFE ID Card is enough to join the library.

You can borrow 6 books and 4 audios at one time. You can keep the books for two weeks and the videos just for one week. If you need the book or the video for more time you can renew it by phone or in the library. You can renew an item three times.

You can borrow books from other libraries and TAFE Library does the booking and brings the book for you and takes it back when you do not need it anymore.

The Library is open from 8am to 9 pm and the chute to return books is available only when the library is open.

You can get photocopies for 20 cents and for Association members the cost is 10 cents. The Library can help you with assessments and finding any information that you need. The Library is a great help for ESL students because it has lot of materials like books and videos to improve your English.

My Country's Superstitions

In my country there are some many superstitions for different events: for example

  • For the New Year it is good to eat 12 grapes and ask a wish for each one as you eat them. Another superstition with the New Year is you have to put flour, lentils and bread on your table to have plenty or enough food for next year.You also have to go around your block with a suitcase if you want to travel next year.
  • For Easter many people visit the church and pray a lot to get God's protection, and Easter Friday the people don't eat meat out of respect for God.
  • And daily if you go under a ladder it is bad luck, or if you see a black cat it is bad luck.
  • You must carry in your wallet 3 notes of a dollar each: One you have to buy, and other that you receive as a gift and the other you must to take from someone.
