Farewell Izzy! This month, we say farewell to our amazing videographer, Izzy! Bye, TGs! I’ll miss being part of Team TG and getting to make fun videos.

Name: CleoAge: 8State: Victoria Hi Cleo, tell us about the World’s Greatest Shave! It’s an amazing event to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation and people living with blood cancer. You can colour, cut or shave your hair and raise money, which goes towards blood cancer research and helps support families when they need it most. Why is this cause important to you? When I was four and a half, I was diagnosed with leukaemia. Leukaemia is a blood cancer. I had sore legs and lots of bruises and we had to move to Melbourne straight away and stay in The Royal Children’s Hospital while I started my treatment. I had to have lots of blood tests and medication that made my hair fall out. During one of the intense…

Glow for gold! She may look uber confident on the outside (just look at that smile!), but Maddie admits true confidence starts by glowing from within. What exactly does that mean? “It’s a long process but we’re on the journey,” she said. “I would say, trying not to compare myself to other people… Instead of being like, ‘Oh my gosh, they’re so pretty I want to look like them’ you could just compliment them, ‘Oh my gosh, they’re so beautiful’ and move on.” Why? Because we’re all so beautiful in our own way! It’s about loving yourself on the inside, and soon you’ll start feeling it on the outside too. “Even just little things like, for me, when I’m drinking a lot of water, eating things that make me feel…

Practice makes perfect When it comes to nailing your performance (or speech), preparation is key! Practising will make you feel more confident. You can try flash cards, recording yourself and watching it back (noting which parts you need to go over again!), or performing in front of a mirror several times. Calm those nerves So, you’ve committed to performing in front of a BIG audience. Nerves are normal, but how do we turn those butterflies into excitement? Think about what’s stressing you out (e.g. forgetting your lines!) and see if you can find a way to prep for it. Now, deep breaths and boogie your way into the spotlight.

Late last year thousands of fans got to see TG fave Dua Lipa bring the glitz and glamour to Sydney as part of her Australian tour. Dressed in an iconic electric blue catsuit (with cool opera gloves!) the English singer was confident and cool as she strutted her stuff on a runway that stretched into the crowd. She was surrounded by incredible back-up dancers in bright pink costumes as well as roller skaters who swirled around her while she danced and sung her biggest disco pop hits (and had several colourful and sparkly costume changes along the way). It was so much fun dancing the night away to “Don’t Start Now”, “Levitating” and “Break My Heart”. Were you lucky enough to see her live? Check out our exclusive pics from…

Not only is this HUGE for Aussie female cricket players and lovers, but for all female cricketers and fans around the world. Now that’s girl power to the max! The statue was unveiled at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January and the thing that bowled her away was…
