Dr Susan Carland gives First Lady vibes; whip-smart and elegant. Her intellect is as sharp as her manner is gentle; perfect for the role of host on a quiz show for little people with high intelligence. As the quizmaster on SBS’s Child Genius Australia, Carland is face-to-face with Australia’s cleverest eight to 12-yearolds, in a program overseen by Australian Mensa. She wears two hats – social commentator and mum – in this week’s feature by journalist Aaron Langmaid, observing the challenges of parenting in a digital world, and how intellect counts for one thing but kindness another.

FIRST PERSON

“ I am Marella Ryan ” … a V/Line conductor I’ve been a train conductor for seven years. Before that I was a flight attendant.

I think I had had enough of flying. It’s nice to fly when you’re going on holidays, but it was enough flying for one job. I wanted something on the ground but I needed something similar.

The two jobs are alike in a lot of ways. It is customer service, and really it’s all about safety as well. Of course, there are no trolleys, which is good.

But it’s pretty similar in that you’ll walk up and down. You’ve always got to check things on board – check for ladders (in case you need to detrain), firstaid kits, fire extinguishers, whether the toilets have toilet paper.

I’m on the Geelong line; we go between Warrnambool and Traralgon. We do Warrnambool

trains on the weekend and then during the week, Monday to Friday, we do one down to Traralgon. We cover a lot of kilometres in a day because Traralgon is about two hours and 20 minutes from Melbourne.

The earliest train I’m on is the 4.31am from Waurn Ponds to Southern Cross. That’s when it leaves but we have to sign on here at Geelong first.

The latest one departs Southern Cross a little after 1am, and comes back to Geelong. So, it’s almost 24-hour shift work.

In the mornings, passengers like to sleep or they’re on their laptops because they’re on their way to work. Quite often at night, you will wake people up. I often say to people, “Don’t forget to set your alarm, just in case”. Not many miss their stop, but there’s a few who do.

As told to

L A R I S SA H A M ●

Ph o t o

I enjoy working on the trains. You see all these country people, they’re very friendly; a lot of them want to chat. We have lot of regulars.

I also enjoy it because you do have to help people.

I help them with information. Sometimes older people especially struggle to read a timetable, or work out how to get from Southern Cross to Richmond or elsewhere.

Footy trains can be fun, especially if it’s the Cats.

Everyone’s in a good frame of mind, especially going there. Sometimes there’s singing on the way back, it depends on who wins, otherwise it’s very sombre, analysing the game.

Some younger ones probably see this as being a stepping stone to becoming a train driver, not me.

I’m happy doing what I’m doing. ●

COVER STORY Mother of two, academic and TV host

Dr Susan Carland ponders the future for our children.

A

cademic-turned-television host Dr Susan Carland was about halfway through filming the first season of the hit SBS show Child Genius Australia when she found herself confronted by a parent with a very difficult outlook for their extremely smart son.

The mother had shuffled her child before the cameras and stifling studio lights because she desperately wanted him to fail.

Here was a primary school kid who had mastered almost everything. He was top of his class, an apt sportsman with off-the-chart intelligence to match.

But he was yet to learn the power of consequence – of how making the wrong decisions ultimately steer us all in life.

That, says Carland, was as much a lesson for her as it should be for all of us.

The author and social commentator says Australia is nestled in a precarious era where parents hover, buffer and protect.

She fears, as do many, it will be to our detriment.

“It was quite a jarring thing to hear a mother say they want their kid to fail,” Carland says. “But the more I have reflected on it the more I think, ‘What a great mum’.

“Because failure is such an important thing for all of us, but particularly for kids.”

Like our immune system, which must be exposed to things so it can develop and look after us properly, Carland says teaching and discovering resilience should be embraced.

“Yet, so many studies are showing we are raising the least resilient group of kids ever,” she says.

“Kids aren’t being given a way to fail in a supportive way – in a way that’s not traumatic, but to experience the pain of failure so they can learn from it and work out how to bounce back and not cry and crawl away.

“It is a very important skill to learn.”

But as a mother of two herself, Carland says she understands why it can be a difficult concept for parents.

“It’s hard because we want to shield our kids from unpleasant situations,” she says. “At university, I am teaching kids straight out of high school and I can see if kids haven’t experienced the consequences of failure – if they are only doing it for the first time as 18-year-olds, these are really hard lessons to learn.

“With my own kids, I try to let them, in an ageappropriate way, make their own decisions so they can deal with the consequences of that.”

definitely,” she says. “When I was a kid, the heroes of the school were always the ones who were good at sport. Nobody is as impressed by the spelling bees or the maths whiz.

“That hasn’t changed a lot, it’s very much part of Australian culture. I think we can feel a little bit uncomfortable around really smart people. So I hope this show helps normalise it.

“I reckon one of the reasons the kids on this show want to participate is because it gives them a platform where they can be celebrated as exceptionally smart and hard-working.”

But Carland doesn’t shy away from the debate around an issue that, in some ways, could prove the greatest hurdle for any kid hoping to make a difference.

She says devices – or perhaps our addiction to them – is terrible.

“I feel sorry for this generation,” she says.

“They are a guinea pig generation where no prior

“You can be really smart but if you can be kind as well, which a lot of these kids are, then you will go really far. All things being equal, I think we are in safe hands.”

But she says the battle to override that innate parental sense to protect remains the challenge.

“That is why the conversation with that mum will always stick with me because I thought it was some pretty exceptional parenting.”

In returning to host series two of Child Genius Australia, Carland says she had learnt much.

The series pits 16 gifted children aged eight to 12 against each other in a showcase of wit and memory.

Overseen by Australian Mensa, quiz master Carland tests the participants’ knowledge of history, maths, spelling and science.

She says her own intelligence was no match in a competition where junior players made short work of spelling words like rhabdomancy.

While confessing to once being a garden-variety school nerd, she hopes the show might serve as a platform to empower intelligent kids.

“I was teased for being a nerd at school,

experiments have been done to find out what the consequences of us all being on our devices all the time.

“I was on a train last week and every single person on the carriage was staring at their phone.

“We know it’s not good for our mental health and all these other things. But what about for kids and teenagers?

“Their brains are responding in a way where we don’t know what it is doing because no previous generation has gone through it.

“The only way we will work it out is in 30 years when we see what impact it has had and by then, it is done. There will be no undoing that.”

She says there was very little evidence suggesting screen time was a good thing.

“We are moving very fast in a bad direction and I think we will all look back at this time and realise it was bad for humanity. Our kids are the ones who will deal with the ramifications of that.”

However, Carland remains hopeful.

She says the television program showcasing some of the nation’s naturally gifted young minds is a testament to a generation with enormous potential.

“Every kid has to navigate the challenges of the future and you never know what is going to pop up,” she says. “One thing that makes me feel really confident about these kids is that they are incredibly intelligent and driven but also, they are just really nice.

“There are no ratbags.

“They are polite and funny and cheeky just like kids should be. They should be fidgeting and saying weird jokes and talking to me about their guinea pigs. That’s what kids should do.

“You can be really smart but if you can be kind as well, which a lot of these kids are, then you will go really far.

“All things being equal, I think we are in safe hands.” ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Opportunity beckons How to find which scholarships are on offer and apply for them.

W

hile some make take some digging to find, there are a variety of scholarship opportunities on offer at Melbourne’s independent schools each year. And it’s not just the academically gifted who can benefit.

“I don’t think scholarships are front of mind for many parents in Australia,” says Ross White of the Good Education Group.

White says that while scholarships in the US are widely advertised, here parents and students need to do their research to find out what’s on offer.

“I also think it’s all too easy for a lot of families to count themselves out from scholarships because they may think they are only for brainy kids, and that’s not the case at all.

“Doing some research and having a conversation

with schools about scholarships is very worthwhile.

There are terrific scholarships out there that are worth tapping into.”

Scholarships are offered by most fee-paying schools and may cover all or some of the tuition fees.

Some are offered based on academic excellence while others are awarded to students who are talented in specific areas, such as music or sport.

Students who have a proven record of showing leadership, of being community-focused and who are committed to helping people around them may also be eligible to apply for some scholarships.

“Not all scholarships are about academic excellence and being top of the class – there are those but there are plenty more,” says White, who publishes the Good Schools Guide.

2021 SCHOLARSHIPS NOW OPEN A range of Day and Boarding School Scholarships are available: Academic Music / Academic Angela Sharman Music Boarding Indigenous Means-tested Applications close Monday, 19 February, apply now at mlc.vic.edu.au/scholarships 207 Barkers Road Kew Victoria | 03 9274 6316 | admissions@mlc.vic.edu.au

“There are excellent sporting scholarships for kids with talent in a mainstream or niche sport and there are scholarships that recognise social citizenship for children who are involved in a charity, community and leadership. Schools want to recognise those kinds of qualities in students because it helps develop their own school culture.”

White says there is no centralised resource that lists all available scholarships in Melbourne schools, so students and parents need to go online and check school websites to find out what is on offer. Or call schools directly and inquire about scholarship opportunities and the application process.

“Shortlist schools that you think are going to be of interest based on things like their academic performance, their personal fit for your child and the school curriculum and its sporting or arts activities. Then, call them to find out if they have any scholarships,” suggests White.

While the application process can vary, an exam or audition is usually required along with an interview involving parents and the student.

“Musical scholarships will be based on a student’s

musical grades and ability and usually a child will have to demonstrate their ability in an audition.

Similarly, with sport, a student may have had to compete at state level,” says White.

“Schools are looking for students who will embrace the culture and values of the school and be a role model to other students. The school does benefit from scholarships because they get a motivated and engaged student who may have a special talent.

“And students gain because receiving a scholarship can make a huge difference to a child’s opportunities. It can expose children to experiences that may previously been out of reach and they can be life-changing.

“If you are a scholarship student, that has so many benefits after school because being the kind of person who has been seen as deserving of a school scholarship speaks volumes about who you are.

Carrying that forward – it looks very good on your CV. It’s a great feather in your cap.” ● ● goodschools.com.au

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
