What are you waiting for?

Celebrating Adult Learners Week.

September not only heralds the start of spring, a wonderful time for renewal and coming out of ‘hibernation’ it is also signals the start of Adult Learners Week where we celebrate the joys and benefits of adult education.

At Byron Community College we are lucky enough to see daily how learning improves and enriches people’s lives in so many ways. Across all ages, abilities, the motivation for adult learning is for a myriad of reasons ranging from acquiring new career skills, learning new hobbies to social connection to name a few.

This year we again celebrated our team, tutors and student’s contributions and achievements within our adult learning community with a morning tea. Our Permaculture and Horticulture students harvested their crops from the Mullumbimby Community Gardens to raise funds for their upcoming permablitz project. There was plenty of beautiful fresh produce and home baked delights on offer including a ’guess the weight of the pumpkin’ competition which came in at a whopping 8kg!

The event was another wonderful example of how important the social community benefits of coming together through education can be.

This coming together took place in our vibrant College courtyard, the hub of the College which is currently getting a spring makeover.

Local permaculture gardener and previous student Janene, from Love To Grow, is in the process of transforming the garden beds with nitro fixing crops such as lentils, buckwheat, snowpeas and beans to rejuvenate the soils as the catalyst for creating a seasonal and rotational edible gardens for the College. Using food scraps and coffee grounds from the local food stores and cafes, local invention Subpod for composting and a worm farm and native bee hive in the works, the new campus gardens will create additional experiential learning for all.

So in keeping with the theme of this year’s Adult Learner’s Week, ‘what are you waiting for?’ enjoy this term’s program. Take that plunge, join us at the College and learn something new. It really is never too late to learn.

Kym Ormond Student Story Certificate IV Permaculture

I have always been interested in sustainability and seemed to spend most of my spare time in my garden. When travelling around Australia I was fortunate enough to volunteer on a small scale Permaculture farm in Derby, WA. After that stint it was an easy and natural decision to study Permaculture and from there I found out about the College.

The Certificate IV was an intense year of indepth studying and writing, it seriously challenged me to do things I had never believed I could achieve in a year. It was also the most stressful and equally rewarding year I have had. If it wasn't for my wife and classmates I would have completely crumbled, so I owe it to them really.

Being from Adelaide I also enjoyed the change of scenery in Byron and was fortunate to meet the great lifelong friends that I did whilst living there. Since finishing I now work at Leonards Mill restaurant in South Australia with a paddock to plate ethos. My role has been to develop a small scale market garden that supplies the kitchen with a different array of edible flowers, herbs, micro greens and different seasonal produce.

We’ve also started gardening and permaculture workshops, which has been well received by the local and greater community.

SOURDOUGH BUSINESS PATHWAYS

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS! In September Sourdough Business Pathways celebrated ten years of mentoring, inspiring and supporting local business growth. It all began at Harvest Newrybar Bakery where a small group of volunteers had a collective mission to protect existing jobs and create new jobs in the area.

Founding members Pat Grier, Ian Oelrichs, Paul Jameson and James Cowley originated the concept. Their vision was to embrace and share the skills and wisdom of newly relocated business people along with local business knowledge and expertise through a collaborative mentoring program.

THE SMALL BUSINESS HUB

Much like the sourdough bread that was always baking in the background (and the inspiration for the name) so too was the ‘Sourdough’ culture and vision they were creating for the business community.

12

Ten years on, the group has evolved into Sourdough Business Pathways with the ongoing commitment and vision to creating a dynamic hub of business activity and knowledge that transforms the region. It’s a journey full of collaboration, generosity, support and growth.

A journey that can be celebrated through the thriving mentoring program that remains at the heart of the program today and has seen so many purposeful community connections and innovative business ideas nurtured and realised. Over the years the group has had over a hundred mentors and over 300 mentees within its program and created over 200 learning and networking events.

“SBP has helped my business expand in the region and connect me into like minded business groups. These connections have led to some great collaborative experiences and increased my staff and business turn over.

SBP has also helped me understand the process of giving back to the community and am actively doing the same.”

As Sourdough looks to the next 10 years, a future of digital disruption, change, startups and sustainability, the group will continue to support these needs through mentoring and learning communities and connections to enable businesses to evolve and transform into tomorrow’s business.

FIRST WORDS with Barbara Nathan

Though spellbinding in its effects, creative writing itself isn’t magical. Whether you’ve always wanted to write and not known where to start, or just want to start scribbling, we’ll make a beginning.

Take a peep at attitudes affecting creativity and at what stops us writing. We’ll then plunge headlong into sorting story ideas, exploring characters, description and dialogue, learning how to give feedback, and revising and editing.

Catherine came to Byron Community College somewhat terrified of returning to study. She had always thought about working with children and some friends had encouraged her to take the leap. “Enrolling in the course was a major first step for me in perusing this dream. It was big” There were challenging times throughout the course when she questioned her commitment to continue. However, with the support of tutor Jude King and the admin staff Catherine successfully completed her studies. “I felt that I could talk openly with the staff about what was going on. They were really cool with being understanding and supportive”.

The highlight of the course was the comradery with the class and tutor.

“The experience was really fun and I can’t talk highly enough about Jude.

She is fun and funny, very supportive and has great ideas. She really knows her stuff!”

Catherine has gone on to be offered permanent employment at Buzykids in Byron where she undertook her work placement as part of the course.

“Kids are crazy” she says, “I love it!”

Her experience of studying with Byron College exceeded her expectations. “I loved coming to class. There is something so positive about this community. It’s a great little college and I would recommend it to everyone!”
