Blonde's ambition for a caring cause



CRONULLA'S Tammy Pascoe is a cheerleader with a cause, she's determined to help better educate the public about autism and help find a new location for a school to cater for children with the condition in the Sutherland shire.
Pascoe juggles her duties with the Mermaids, one of Australia's highest profile cheerleading squads, and modelling assignments with her full-time job as an occupational therapist for Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), which involves travelling around Sydney to help care for 132 students in the city's sprawling south-east.

While her job is demanding, Pascoe said she was inspired by the love and devotion the children's parents offer them. ''The patience shown by the parents is amazing because the children need constant support,'' she said.

Aspect, established in 1966, is the nation's largest not-for-profit organisation helping children who have an autism spectrum disorder. Its mission is to overcome the sense of isolation associated with the condition and the organisation also helps students to gain skills to make them as independent as possible.

In her role, Pascoe works as a member of the learning support team and addresses such important issues as motor skills, handwriting, play, sensory processing, challenging behaviour and daily living activities. She described her vocation as tough but rewarding.

Pascoe is also helping Aspect find a new premises in the shire because the lease for their facility in Kirrawee expires next year. The organisation must find a building that could host five or six classrooms, toilets, offices, a reception and at least two recreation areas.

Broncos Big League Beauty...

Queensland times: Geoff Egan | 25th April 2012 5:14 AM

Is Dani the cheerleading queen?




SHE'S been dancing since she was four and now Danielle Svensson has found her dream job.

During home games, she takes to the Suncorp Stadium field before kick off as part of the Broncos cheerleading squad. In her first season with the cheerleaders, Danielle is already one of the Broncos representatives for Big League magazine's Cheerleader of the Year.
The job has also taken the 20-year-old to Vanuatu, thanks to a new sponsorship deal with one of the island's major resorts.Danielle, along with five other Broncos cheerleaders, was flown to the Breakas Resort Vanuatu to film commercials.
"It's been a great year so far," she said. "All the girls are really fun and the work is great. I've been dancing all my life so this is just great. "I only started cheerleading at the end of last year. This is my first full season.
"Hopefully I'll be doing it for a few years to come yet."
A lifelong Broncos fan, Brassall girl Danielle said she loved being able to represent the club.
"There are so many fans out there, it's good to be part of something that so many people love," she said. "I love rugby league. I grew up in a Broncos household so it's just amazing being part of their game days.
"It really doesn't feel like a job. I get to sit on the sideline and cheer the Broncos on every week."
Danielle, who outside her cheerleading is studying nutrition, spent the rugby league off-season cheering for the Gold Coast Blaze basketball team.
"It's really different cheering for the basketball. We're dancing all the time and indoors instead of on a field."
Danielle will appear in a future edition of the Big League magazine, along with the other Broncos cheerleader representative. From there the public will be able to vote for her as the NRL Cheerleader of the Year.

Here are some highlights from the girls trip to Vanuatu and their time experiencing all the beauty that Vanuatu has to offer. Their new 2012 Sponsor - Breaks Resorts Vanuatu - rolled out the red carpet for the girls while they were there filming the commercial for the resort.

Round 7 Daily Telegraph Cheergirls x

Here is a glimps of the cheerleaders in action from around the grounds during Round 7 of the NRL season. You will see the ladies from the Penrith Panthers, Manly Sea Eagles and St George Illawarra Dragons.

Round 7 saw the Manly Sea Eagles Players donning maroon and yellow Country representative socks to support bush footy and to reinforce the club's commitment to supporting rural communities.

Adding to the excitement and theme of the night, one of the biggest names in Australian country music, Travis Collins, performed 3 of his big hits as part of the pre-game entertainment. The Manly Seabirds danced along side him and wore silver sparkly cowboy hats. Yeehaaa!!
