Staff celebration brings out our best The institute’s highest-performing employees were rewarded in the annual staff awards on 11 December. At the end-of-year afternoon tea, Acting Managing Director Chris Jones recapped on the busy and productive year and thanked staff for their hard work. Chris said the institute was well positioned to face the challenges of 2016, and there was much to look forward to. He introduced Governing Council Chair Scott Leary, who shared Chris’s confidence that the institute would continue to enjoy valuable relationships with industry and deliver high-quality training to people in communities throughout the Great Southern. Scott then awarded service recognition
certificates and announced the finalists and winners of the staff awards for excellence. Two Trainer of the Year Award winners and one Excellence in Non-Teaching Award winner each received $1500 to be spent on professional development. Trainer of the Year Awards went to Lizzie Bigwood and Andrew Nicholson. John Maddison received the Excellence in NonTeaching Award. The presentations wound up with an official farewell to Vehicle Fleet Manager Leigh Barsby, who was retiring after 28 years of service.

AROUND THE INSTITUTE
My congratulations to the winners of our staff awards for excellence announced at last Friday’s Christmas afternoon tea. Lizzie Bigwood and Andrew Nicholson were the institute’s Trainers of the Year and John Maddison was a deserving winner in the non-teaching category. See the report and details of all the finalists on pages 2 and 3. Giving everyone a good send-off for the year were Leigh Barsby and his band Studio Crew. This was also a fitting farewell to Leigh, who has retired after 28 years of service. The 2016 fees and charges have now been gazetted, and I am pleased that tuition fee increases have been kept to a minimum, and that the fee cap for schoolaged students has been maintained at $415.
DIRECTORATE NEWS Corporate In 2016, Institute Consultative Committee meetings will be held quarterly. Staff wishing to raise an item for discussion at the February meeting may complete the form on the intranet and submit it to a committee representative A number of people have worked hard on the relocation of the Mount Barker campus and the refurbishment of the Albany campus library. Both will be in operation early next year, and it is due to the efforts of the Mount Barker campus staff, library and bookshop staff and Neil and his team in Facilities that this has gone so smoothly. Thank you for your efforts – I am sure staff and students will enjoy using the new
facilities when they are up and running. Planning Aboriginal programs The institute partnered with the Tambellup Aboriginal Corporation to deliver a series of ‘Healthy Computing’ workshops. Participants are being supported to transition to accredited programs offered at Katanning in 2016. Student support Applications via State Training Admissions for full-time study in 2016 are higher than at the same time last year, perhaps reflecting that the half cohort has now moved through. The GETSTUCKIN campaign for 15-17-year-olds provides students with the option of studying two qualification streams, and ensures that students moving from school to VET can participate in four days a week of study or training and gain employability skills by undertaking short courses such as barista. Communications A state-wide marketing campaign kicks off on 9 January with TV commercials, radio and print media advertisements, metro billboard advertising and a website. This is an exciting campaign to raise awareness of the diversity of TAFE courses through a ‘TAFE Choices’ focus. Regions Katanning hosted an open day for Aboriginal People to discuss offerings at the campus. Students at the Mount Barker campus will find study easier since the manager of the town’s public library offered to cater for their needs and select materials to enrich their research.

The Gazette – December 2015 FROM THE
MD’s Desk From page 4 Lecturers are supplying resource lists to the library for this purpose. Staff at the Denmark campus are working towards a ‘Pick Your Own’ day at the organic horticulture garden in January. This will allow community members to see the quality of produce grown at the garden and raise awareness of these popular courses. Academic To meet the requirements of the new RTO Standards, the Academic Directorate has processed more than 130 quality documents this year. Each one has taken a significant amount of work, so this has been a marathon effort for all involved.
PORTFOLIO NEWS Commerce Katanning GATE students catered for the Access Art exhibition and completed a mosaic bird bath which has taken pride of place on the campus lawn. See pages 10 and 11 for photographs of the catering and art exhibition. In a collaborative effort, students of the Certificate III in Tourism and Certificate III in Business made more than $600 for White Ribbon Day to raise awareness of domestic violence. See page 7. Health A series of cultural awareness workshops piloted as part of a new staff induction package were well received by attendees. Primary Industries The rainbow trout which have been growing in the aquaculture tanks this year
5 will be on local dinner plates during the Christmas break. Jay Rowles recently travelled to Melbourne to attend the National Centre for Dairy Education Australia (NCDEA) forum for trainers and managers. Manager Neil Binning has returned from his six-week secondment to the East Kimberley with the Jawun Corporation. Neil enjoyed his time away, though he is happy to get back to the cooler south coast in time for our summer. Well done to John Maddison and Peter Young, who capably kept the portfolio ticking over in Neil’s absence. Trades Mentoring assistance from Aboriginal Programs has supported Aboriginal student participation in pre-apprenticeship programs, and we look forward to students having the opportunity to secure apprenticeships. My congratulations to Electrotechnology Lecturer Garry Christiansen, who has received a prestigious industry award from the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA). The Electrotechnology Industry Trade Teacher Award was presented to Garry last month at a ceremony in Brisbane, where he was recognised by the electrical industry support organisation for the commitment, passion and professionalism he displays in his work. As we reach the end of the year, I would like to thank all staff for their hard work and commitment. It has been a difficult and demanding year. Despite this our students and employers have continued to benefit from the high quality of training the institute delivers to the region. If you are leaving us, I wish you all the best. Otherwise, enjoy the break, stay safe, and I look forward to seeing you in 2016. Cheers, Chris

Promotion works a treat as Terry tackles technology Music and computers are not usually thought of as a natural combination. But for music student Terry MacKintosh, learning the finer points of social media has advanced his studies and expanded his audience while promising to boost his music sales. A musician and song writer for many years, Terry enrolled in the Diploma of Music, delivered at Great Southern Institute of Technology’s Denmark campus, to gain a formal qualification. As part of the course, he researched methods of marketing his music and recognised Facebook as an economical medium for promoting his work. He had used email and the internet regularly, but Terry did not consider himself to be technologically savvy, which he saw as a barrier to effective marketing. “I saw the value in using Facebook, so I went to the site and worked it out,” Terry said, admitting it took a deal of patience and determination to discover

In the first few weeks, Terry engaged with other Facebook users to share links and information, and quickly built his audience. “It gave me inspiration and confidence,” Terry said. His next move was to load some of his music tracks onto the music-sharing site Sound Cloud, to which he

Terry tackles technology From page 6 “It’s exciting,” Terry said. “It’s part of the course to get our music out there, and this is a great way to do it,” he said. “I can see the benefits of Facebook, and I can see how people get hooked,” he laughed. He has posted video clips and gig details as well as information about his latestrelease EP The Seed. Even though he is an experienced musician, Terry said, the course had been valuable and he would soon have a formal qualification. He said he appreciated the guidance and support of Music Lecturer Tony King,
who helped him to achieve his ambitions. “I set myself two goals this year – I wanted to learn to record my own music and find out how to get it out there,” he said. Using the professional equipment at the institute and recording his own tracks with an Albany-based recordist were highlights for the vocalist and acoustic guitar player who describes his music as “blues country folk with a rock edge”. Now Terry is promoting his music, he is being booked for more gigs and sales of his CDs are growing. He plans to continue playing local gigs and

Students of the Certificate III in Tourism and the Certificates in Spoken and Written English took advantage of their trip to view spectacular coastal scenery at the Salmon Holes in Torndirrup National Park. They are pictured with their lecturers at the lookout.
Sightseeing on the curriculum At the end of each year, students of the Certificates in Spoken and Written English and the Certificate III in Tourism board an institute bus together for an excursion to local tourist icons. They get to enjoy each other’s company while taking in some of the south coast’s most popular attractions, but it’s not all in the name of leisure. For the class of tourism students, it’s a chance to brush up on their presentation skills in a real-life situation as they play tour guide to the CSWE students. This involves significant research of an area before the big day to ensure they can answer any questions about their chosen destination. For the CSWE group – for whom English is their second language – it’s a valuable opportunity to practice their listening and speaking skills while learning about the area around their new home. The annual bus trips are organised by
CSWE Lecturers Jill Buchanan and Sara Lembo, and Tourism Lecturer Cathy Glen. This year, the excursion took place over two days. The first was a morning at Strawberry Hill Farm, where the CSWE group learnt the historical significance of this site and shared tea and scones with their guides for the day. The following week, the groups took the bus again to Torndirrup National Park, where they stopped at the Salmon Holes, Frenchman Bay and the Princess Royal Sailing Club. The CSWE students thanked their lecturers for organising the event and their host students for the entertaining and informative talks, while the tourism students clearly enjoyed the chance to show off their presentation skills while expounding their knowledge about their favourite tourist spots.

Teamwork brings out students’ best Members of the Katanning community were recently treated to a demonstration of the talent of two groups of Great Southern Institute of Technology students working together. At the official opening of an exhibition of their work at the town’s art gallery, students in the Access Art program impressed the visitors with their best pieces of the year, and those just completing their Gaining Access to Training and Employment (GATE) program catered for the event. Art Lecturer Sunjung Bloomer and GATE Lecturers Andrea Rundle and Sally Crossley were proud of their groups’ achievements, which brought accolades from the guests. The artists, all people with disability, selected their work for display from self-portraits, abstracts, prints and sculpture, which they produced as part of their Certificate I in Visual Arts course. For their part, the GATE students cooked and presented a varied and delicious spread of hot and cold savoury food and sweet treats for the event. Then back at the campus, they unveiled their mosaic bird bath, which now takes pride of place on the lawn. A new Access Art program will start at the Katanning campus in February.

Teams pitch for sporting honours The 2015 GSIT Annual Charity Cricket Match was held on an overcast day at NASHS oval, with the unfancied GOSAC Gladiators backing up their 2014 win with an impressive team performance. The game was played with superb spirit, as umpires Will Griffiths and Max Michael kept proceedings honest from the first ball. The Academic All Stars batted first with Aaron ‘The Mustang’ St Jack and Peter ‘Pedro’ Sudran hitting the ball around at will in the early exchanges before Peter was bowled by a ripper from Syd ‘The Slugger’ Wheelwright. On came cult figure and Academics captain Warren ‘Slossy’ Sloss to add to the score, sharing a handy unbeaten partnership with the evergreen Peter ‘Bosch’ Slebos. Some handy contributions from ‘Super’ Steve Cann, Craig ‘Botts’ Bottomley, Jenni ‘Jen-Jen’ Eatt and Chris ‘Jonesy’ Jones pushed the All Stars score to a respectable 6/112 from 24 overs. Lionel ‘Dutchie’ Hart contributed with a wicket and two catches, with some tight bowling from Rhett ‘The Gun’ Eiffler, Nat ‘Natty’ Hudson, Belinda ‘Hit-’N’-Run’ Schupp and danger man Rick ‘Mullernator’ Muller. Last year’s player of the match Lauchie ‘The Block’ Gillett took his customary slips catch. The GOSAC run chase started off on shaky ground, with Jackie ‘Jack-Jack’ McLeish getting an early breakthrough by removing the dangerous Rob ‘First Responder’ Schorer in the first over. Lionel steadied the ship with wickets falling around him, making a composed 16 not out. Lexy ‘JC’ Grover played the sweetest shot of the match, only for Jen to field superbly at short fine leg. The Academics had a strong chance, however the GOSAC grip on the title firmed when captain Neil ‘Bruce’ Augustson and player of the match Ches ‘Lenny’ Leonard combined to score a rapid partnership before retiring. Daniel ‘Jackaroo’ Bailey and Lauchie scored freely, despite some tight bowling from Alison ‘Sharpie’ Sharpe and John ‘Mad’ Maddison, closing the innings at 7/127. Thanks to all who contributed to making this another memorable and enjoyable event. – Ches Leonard

Reconciliation Action Plan 2014-2015 In launching its Reconciliation Action Plan last October, Great Southern Institute of Technology demonstrated its commitment to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people so that together, real benefits can be achieved for the wider community. To highlight Indigenous issues and track our progress as defined by the plan, The Gazette publishes an article every month. This month, we look at the benefits of cross-cultural sharing and learning through Education Support Lecturer Rebecca Lovitt’s account of her class’s visit to a group of Noongar Elders.
Students learn from Noongar Elders Certificate IV in Education Support Students recently gained valuable local knowledge from Noongar Elders. On 28 October, students went on a field trip which included a visit to the Elders’ fortnightly scrapbooking group meeting at Mount Lockyer Primary School. Aboriginal Islander Education Officer (AIEO) Dianne Williams made everyone feel welcome and invited students to ask questions of the Elders. Students listened to interesting stories about the Elders’ childhoods, including living off the land, hunting for animals and the types of bush tucker they regularly ate. Damper (made with Black and Gold self-raising flour) dipped in kangaroo fat sounded interesting! Students were given the chance to show the Elders educational resources they had developed, and asked if they were appropriate to this region. The feedback gained was valuable, with some resources being relevant to this region, and others not so. At the end of the visit, students were treated to an impromptu didgeridoo performance by a student’s father.
Students Chaitanya Surath, Kimberley Spaanderman and Tealah Ford listen to Winnie Larsen’s stories. All the students commented on how much they enjoyed the visit and how much new knowledge they had gained. Many thanks go to the Elders who allowed us to question and learn from them – they are Winnie Larsen, Mary Wynne, Annette Eades, Nellie Roberts and Pearl Harris. This field trip was embedded into the unit Use educational strategies to support Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander education. – Rebecca Lovitt

Birak Noongar people describe the seasons differently to European people as they believe the land has its own rhythms. Local Menang people have traditionally acknowledged six seasons.
Birak – December to January. Bunuru – February to March. Djeran – April to May Makuru – June to July Djilba – August to September Kambarang – October to November
This month, The Gazette presents the last in its series of articles on the characteristics of each Noongar season with the first and last season of the year – Birak.
Coast provided respite from the heat Traditionally, at the sign of the Moodja (Australian Christmas) and Yoorl (paperbark) trees in bloom, Noongar people moved to the coast to prepare for hot weather. The coastal afternoon sea breezes brought welcome respite during the hottest
months, and the plains provided food in the form of fish, crabs and prawns from the estuaries, and freshwater fish and longneck turtles from the lakes. Bush honey from native bees was also abundant. The land was burnt for regeneration and to reduce
fuel for the potentially damaging electrical storms. Burnt areas allowed easier movement across the land and grazing land for native fauna. To carry the food they had collected, the people made bags out of reeds gathered in the wetlands. Burnt bushland characterises Birak.

Safety First With Rick Muller
As the end of the year rapidly approaches I want to congratulate all managers and OSH representatives for completing their 2015 workplace inspections on time. The dedicated and excellent safety commitment from staff makes it harder and harder to spot hazards during workplace inspections. Now is a time that everyone is most probably preparing for shutdown over the holiday season. This is an opportune time to remain risk savvy. People can easily become distracted, fatigued, stressed, or disengaged, and this can lead to a

Good practice makes hazards harder to find reduced ability to see and manage risks in the workplace. Remember when returning to work after the holidays, you might be complacent and struggle to re-engage with safety practices. As up to 95 per cent of workplace incidents are primarily caused by the choices individuals make, it is critical during this time of year to help your team to focus on managing the risks in their environment and staying safe. On behalf of the dedicated Health and Safety team, we wish all staff and their families a very safe and merry Christmas.

Be a good host this Christmas During the Christmas and New Year period there is an increase in festivities, parties, family gatherings, work functions and barbecues. While it's a great time of year, it can also be a time of excess, especially when it comes to alcohol. If you are hosting a function or party, you can make a big difference to the drinking environment and take steps to look after guests’ safety and wellbeing. Hosting a party Good parties don't just happen; they are a result of good planning and preparation. If you are hosting a party, remember you have a duty of care for the safety and wellbeing of your guests. Here are some tips to create a low-risk environment for your guests: • Avoid having alcohol as the focus of the party by planning some alcohol-free activities.
• Don't provide alcohol to anyone under 18. • Provide food from the start to the finish of the party. If it is an all-day event, space out the food so any latecomers can get some. • Provide plenty of water and other non-alcoholic drinks. • Help your guests get home safely by encouraging them to organise a skipper if they are going to drink or prearrange taxis for the end of the party. • Let friends know they can sleep over if they need to.
Helping guests to space their drinks • Avoid ‘topping up' other people's drinks so they can keep count of standard drinks. Top up their water glass instead. • Mix non-alcoholic drinks in the same esky as alcoholic drinks. That way, people will see the non-alcoholic drinks when they go for a refill. • Leave jugs of water around the venue. For more information about alcohol and being a good host during the festive season visit www. alcoholthinkagain. com.au.
