Woman’s Day shares a Macarthur Christmas miracle

Read about how Mission Australia’s Macarthur Early Childhood Intervention Service (MECIS) has transformed the lives of two Sydney children in this week’s Woman’s Day.

Six-year-old Saul and his sister Mischa, 5, both have autism. Watching them laugh and play together is something their mother had never thought was possible, given that children with autism often have trouble relating to others or expressing themselves with words.

“That was Saul and Mischa until we found help with the Macarthur Early Childhood Intervention Service (MECIS),” Marion told Woman’s Day. “I wonder what I would have done, where the kids would be at, had I not found them.”

Mischa has now learnt to say her name and Marion is ecstatic that her son is able to start school.

Based in Sydney’s south-west, the Macarthur Early Childhood Intervention Service (MECIS) is a Mission Australia program that provides specialised early childhood intervention services for children from birth to school-entry age who have a diagnosed developmental delay or disability.

MECIS provides therapy, education and support services that aim to assist parents or carers to achieve the best possible outcomes for their child.

Shark Tower Dude

It’s a nice day, not too windy, some time in the late 1940s. You’ve been doing your stint in the Shark Tower, scanning the water for any sign of sharks, but it’s a bit boring being stuck up here. It occurs to you that you would get an even better view if you swung yourself out and up onto the roof of the tower. And the pretty girls will be impressed. No sooner said than done - how cool is that?
Manly's Shark Tower was designed by Eric Andrew, who also designed the South Steyne Surf Pavilion, and it was put up in 1938. It inevitably succumbed to concrete cancer and was demolished in 1981.
