Training One of the toughest things for jobseekers who have been out of work for a while is regaining their confidence.

Christie Robinson knows this only too well.

Although she was very keen to work, and would be an asset to any workplace, her confidence was low. This, coupled with her anxiety and lack of belief in herself held her back from long term employment.

Red Cross Employment Services Pialba began working with Christie, ascertaining what she would like to do, and where she would be most comfortable. Red Cross Employment Services began speaking to employers about Christie’s keen nature, and her valuable experience.

One of these employers was Torbay Retirement Villages Limited at Torquay. Torbay was looking for employees to fill domestic roles and asked to meet with Christie.

Although Christie was not suited to this particular position, Torbay’s HR Department immediately saw potential in Christie and of offered her the opportunity to take on the role of kitchenhand. Christie’s positive nature despite having low confidence and knockbacks was contagious.

Breakfast visit for MSHS prefects

Maryborough State High School Prefect students were among distinguished guests to hear Stuart Taylor present his inspiring and moving story at the Fraser Coast Young Professionals breakfast at the RSL. Through incredible hardship and with the love and support of his family, Stuart slowly beat his mental injury to emerge stronger and committed to serving his community. Stuart said the love from his wife, Dana; his children Jhairah, Jhazara, and Jhasper; his parents; his siblings; and his faith in God were the key platforms of his recovery.

Pictured with Stuart at the breakfast are (from left): Gabe Kidd, Mathew Whiting, Matt Macklin, Ming Zhang, Liam O’Sullivan, Nathan Barrett, Alexander Gergos, Sam Schneider and Logan Jocumsen.

Opportunities for Cassandra Maryborough State High School Captain Cassandra Scott was selected to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Staff Training Sessions in Kioloa, NSW from Sunday April 21st to Thursday April 25th.

Cassandra is one of forty two students who were selected to attend from the four hundred and thirty two students who attended the January Youth Science Forum.

It was wonderful that Cassie was able to take time away from her studies and duties as student and school captain, and represent Maryborough State High School. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Later in the year, Cassandra will also attend one of several professionally-organised outback team-building treks. These very special 5-day events will be held in July.

The treks are staged in spectacular wilderness country and are open only to participants in the NYSF Leadership Program.

Council Bits and Pieces

Alexandra off to Canberra to discover opportunities Alexandra Parsgaard (Certificate III Business Administration, St Mary’s College, Maryborough) has been selected to participate in Learn. Earn. Legend! Work Exposure in Government.

The program gives Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander senior secondary students a unique opportunity to experience the work of offices of Members of Parliament and Senators as well as an insight to career opportunities in the Australian public sector.

Alexandra will travel to Canberra in June for a week where she will spend a day and a half in the office of a parliamentarian, talk to representatives of a wide range of Australian public sector agencies at a Careers Expo, and spend a day in a public sector agency.

This is a wonderful opportunity for Alexandra who has also been working towards completing her Certificate III in Business Administration.

What have you enjoyed most about completing this traineeship whilst still at school?

Being out at work while I am still at school has opened my eyes to the vast opportunities that are in the workforce. Working at the Red Cross means I work with a diverse range of people which has improved my ability to communicate effectively with people from all aspects of our community.

What do you see as the benefits of completing the Traineeship while still at school?

One of the advantages has been that I have been able to transfer many of my workplace skills to my schooling. I have really learnt to manage my time more effectively and grown in confidence from being out in the workforce.

What do you want to do when you finish school?

I would like to be accepted into the Defence Forces and complete a Law degree.

Students can only be selected to participate if they: Are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent, identify as Aboriginal and/ or Torres Strait Islander ,and are accepted as such in the community in which they live or have lived; Enrolled in Year 11 or 12; Between the ages of 15 and 18 years by 9 September 2012; Are interested in a career in the Australian Public Service and/or civic education; Achieving well academically at school; Supported by their school in applying for WEX 2013; Are able to fully participate in the WEX program and interact with the other participating students; Able to travel and be away from home for up to eight calendar days; Prepared and able to travel to and from the event without supervision; Have not previously participated in WEX.

Training for a better future “We take pride in delivering a large range of nationally recognised training courses to meet the needs of our community”. WBIT

Positive attraction: Another boost for the Fraser Coast with the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia Anniversary Rally at the Maryborough Showgrounds. The gathering, which was held from April 29 to May 5, provided a spectacular sight and injected more than $2 million into the local economy.

The Stockland redevelopment is expected to generate more than 250 local jobs during the 18-month construction program and more than 600 new retail jobs by the time the redevelopment is completed towards the end of 2014.

The floods of January were one of the biggest disasters the region has ever faced and it was good to see community spirit alive and well, and I must say all the councillors went beyond the call of duty to help their constituents and communities out.

I look forward to the next 12 months and the remainder of the term and will continue to fight for commonsense and my division and the region.

This has been a tough year for the Maryborough business community and the broader community.

The January floods were devastating, but together as a community we pulled together and I believe we are stronger and more resilient as a result.

This region has turned away at least a billion dollars worth of investment in the last 8 years and it is my personal goal to make sure that the message to the business community is that we are open for business.

I do recognize that Staff are the greatest a business has and I suggest that Staff that are not on that same wavelength and do not want improvement better leave now.

Staff must be responsible and accountable.

The foreshore clean up and our stand against the Green Movement was a huge achievement and should not be under estimated. The Bay certainly looks more loved and it has given the business hope.

It is with great honour that we celebrate our first year as a new Council.

We are called upon to do so much, with a very tight budget.

For me, it has been an amazing journey, meeting so many fantastic people, assisting with dealing with resident’s concerns, hearing inspiring ideas, witnessing the great work of Council staff and volunteers across a vast array of activities.

That juggling act of trying to support people and places, with the most need, is a daily challenge.

It’s been a huge learning curve, finding out that Council is much more than just roads, rates and rubbish.

Governance: Our fortnightly meetings, and many others as necessary, are used to review council policy and to set new directions in relation to financial, procedural, or planning matters.

It is in these meetings that topics such as rates and charges are discussed and decided.

Overall, I must say I am honoured to represent my division and that I enjoy working with my colleagues, our Mayor, and the CEO to deliver effective and efficient governance for the Fraser Coast. portfolio as a key ingredient to the future of our region and I will be working to enhance existing events as well as work with groups that are keen to visit the Fraser Coast. For this to happen we will need community support and I hope that we are able to grow this vital ingredient.

As I have said Council is work in progress for any new Councillor and I do see it as a work in progress as if it was that easy everybody would be doing it. Our region has its own very special set of needs, that in many cases are not that different to other regions, the best way to deliver the required outcome is to work as a united force and this is what I will ask of our community work with us to make our community stronger.

The three main ones so far are: “Lets Get Fraser Coast Working” - designed to give 60 participants, structured work experience with Council; “Animal Management Working Group” - designed to facilitate and improve community-wide support for better animal management; “Fraser Coast Robert Garland Careers and Jobs Expo” Health, Educat ion & designed to give our senior Training

I look forward to helping drive these initiatives over the next year to achieve milestones that we can all share and be proud of.

Thank you to everyone that has given me so much inspiration and I look forward to our next year together, as we all strive to make the Fraser Coast shine even brighter.

Since that time none of us have lost our passion for the region and our enthusiasm to see it prosper.

One of the areas I have been particularly engaged in is heritage. The region, and Maryborough in particular, has great potential for heritage tourism.

It is in the areas of prioritising and customer impact that I feel most useful.

The recent wild weather has played havoc with maintenance schedules across the region.

Hard Yakka’s latest graduates

Bay Fusion Food Design proprietor Russell Czinege and his trainees are excited about their successes.

Bay Fusion builds on its team’s successes This April has proven a huge success for the team at Bay Fusion Food Design. After a successful week of catering at the 2013 Ulysses AGM, over 3000 meals were provided to the motorcycle enthusiasts.

Our team was catering breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant, while also hosting a coffee and fast food stall for the duration of the week.

These two stalls were also held in conjunction with the Bayside Transformations wrap stall, which also had huge success. All feedback received is boasting compliments, congratulations and thanks from our valued clientele.

The Bay Fusion team has also welcomed the addition of two new apprentices to complete a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery. A further four trainees are also being welcomed to the Bayside Transformations Project.

Following such success with both catering and training, we have also completed an Introduction to Hospitality course to commence on May 27.

Successful completion of

these courses in the first offering has resulted in secured employment.

We also have 4 VET apprenticeships in Commercial Cookery available, with a further 3 places in Certificate II in Food Processing available for DES clients.

The Introduction to Hospitality course conducted over a 6 week period has thus far reported a 100% success rate, with 2 courses and a total of 10 clients having been successfully placed into employment or training environments.

We look forward to expanding and working with the local community to develop and uphold what is sure to be a successful year for the Fraser Coast.

Bayside Transformations and Bay Fusion Food Design have officially kicked off on the vegetable production kitchen and is now fully operational.

A number of local businesses have already shown their support of the local community through the utilization locally sourced vegetables in a fully operational business plan.

Classroom with a view Sunday, May 6, was a special treat for the senior Aerospace Studies students from Maryborough SHS as they had the opportunity to go gliding.

The nine students and three parents took the sky for a 30-minute joy flight thanks to the Gympie Gliding Club.

The students learnt the workings of a glider and experience the exhilaration of a winch launch to 2000 feet in height in 20 seconds on a 450 angle.

The students were able to be hands-on, learnt how to turn and how to work the control services.

“The weather was kind and good thermals were available so the students could stay in the air for a great joy flight. Many students commented that the view

was amazing and the takeoff was like a rollercoaster ride” said the Aerospace teacher, Mark Heinrich.

The students loved the experience and they were able to see what they learnt in the classroom in action through this gliding experience.

For many it was the first time to fly in a small aircraft and they all said they keen to go flying again.

New name

The Queensland Baptist Care which governs Glendyne Education and Training Centre in Hervey Bay officially changed its name to Carinity on 6th May, to reflect its diverse range of services and expanding geographical presence throughout Queensland.

The independent secondary school for disengaged youth will now be known as Carinity Education – Glendyne, but will continue to provide a second chance for young people who have struggled in mainstream schooling.

This rebrand is a major step forward for the organisation, which began in 1949 solely as an aged care provider and now offers a comprehensive range of community services throughout Queensland, including Aged Care, Lifestyle (retirement living), Education, Communities and Youth.

CEO Jon Campbell said the word ‘Carinity’ is derived from ‘care’ and ‘affinity’ and represents what the organisation strives to provide to its clients every day - care and a sense of belonging.

Business Festival in July A celebration of business is being planned by Fraser Coast Opportunities in July.

Fraser Coast Opportunities is the new entity formed to promote economic development, investment opportunities, events and tourism across the Fraser Coast.

“To celebrate the formation of the new Fraser Coast Opportunities Ltd we want to showcase all Fraser Coast businesses in July,” Fraser Coast Mayor Gerard O’Connell said.

“We would like businesses to throw open their doors to conduct short tours, put on a workshop, host a networking event or showcase themselves in some way.

“The idea is to bring the long established businesses together with the many new businesses that have set up on the Fraser Coast.

“An accounting business could undertake a workshop on finance planning or a job agency could conduct a workshop on recruitment and retaining staff or a telecommunications store could give an overview of the latest business products that increase productivity.’’

Businesses interested can register with Fraser Coast Regional Council’s Economic Development Officer Kellie McElligott on 1300 79 49 29.

USQ Fraser Coast Science and Engineering Challenge

St Mary’s Catholic College students Dannielle Tarlinton (left), Annie Tanwan, Elara Crook and Caitlin Fergus build their bridge.

Aldridge State High School has won this year’s USQ Fraser Coast Science and Engineering Challenge regional title for the second consecutive year.

The team of Years 9 and 10 students clocked up 1164 points throughout the day to edge out Xavier Catholic College (1083) and Fraser Coast Anglican College (942) for the chance to compete at the Super Challenge Series in Townsville later this year.

Aldridge’s head of Science Department Iain Carson said he was thrilled this year’s students had continued the school’s winning streak of three out of four years (2010, 2012 and 2013).

In the bridge-building section, Aldridge State High School team of Natasha Donnelly, Jessica Karrasch and Rahni Smoother took out first place, narrowly beating the efforts of the community team – USQ Fraser Coast’s cam-

USQ Fraser Coast event co-ordinator Stephanie Bayley said “This year’s regional challenge was a fantastic event. It was great to get feedback from volunteers that our students were enthusiastic and focused on their tasks.”

The day started early with volunteers from the combined Rotary clubs of Hervey Bay helping USQ Fraser Coast and University of Newcastle staff to set up. At 9.30am everything was ready for the students to arrive.

Mr Langabeer and Ms Bayley thanked all those involved in the challenge, in particular

the University of Newcastle and the combined Rotary Clubs of Hervey Bay. The challenge is recognized, both at home and abroad, as an innovative way of raising young people’s awareness of the career opportunities in science and engineering. In 2003 the

challenge was awarded The Sir William Hudson Award for Engineering Excellence and it has since been recognised by the International Institute of Physics based in London.

Aldridge State High School has secured a prestigious prize indeed.

This Inspiring Australia

initiative is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education and supported locally

by Engineers Australia, Tony McVey Pty Ltd, Wide Bay Water, Fraser Coast Regional Council, and Opus.

Culture and diversity at Hervey Bay High Hervey Bay State High School has enjoyed a week of culture and diversity in nature.

On the Thursday the Agriculture and Environmental Centre (AEC) held its annual environmental showcase, followed by an evening of arts and music to raise funds for the flood benefit.

By day, students were exposed to a variety of displays including freshwater fish by Barb Hayes and marine

turtles with Lesley Bradley, both members of the Lower Mary River Landcare Group.

Interactive displays such as determining water quality through identification of macro-invertebrates, native tree propagation and testing soil pH. Students learnt about the use of animals and plants to mimic nature and create an ecosystem within a farming situation. This initiative has been supported by funding received from Staples Go Green junior landcare

grants last year.

In the evening the school community banded together with a flood relief concert which raised over $1000 to support communities affected by recent flooding.

Many staff and students supported this event through dance, drama and singing. It was a fantastic evening showcasing the excellent talent we have at Hervey Bay State High School.

This event was sponsored by Autobarn, and we would like to thank them for their kind contributions.
