Making a difference
The Edmund Rice Centre’s inaugural Simplicity Week from September 9-15 involved
people from Fremantle and beyond in a variety of activities aimed at making a
positive contribution to a sustainable future.
During the week hundreds of people gathered at Fremantle’s Bathers’ Beach to
reflect on the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade
Center and the Pentagon.
Sunset Reflections asked people to bring a candle and join in a silent pledge for peace.
Another event, Eminent Minds, saw ten participants from all walks of life come up
with a Consumer Manifesto – a guide to living for the future.
Other activities included Simplicity Circles, a talk on how to live outwardly simple,
inwardly rich lives, the Calico Bag Challenge and re-cycling plastic shopping bags.

The demand for places at The University of Notre Dame Australia makes us the fastest
growing University in the country. At the same time, the University is operating from
one of the smallest capital bases of all tertiary institutions.
UNDA provides a different and very special learning experience for our students, many
of who will have a significant influence on future generations.
Our biggest challenge over the next few years is to fund the demand for new lecture
rooms, laboratories, equipment and to support our teaching body to cope with this
expected growth.
