www.yarrawongachronicle.com.au cyberspace
Life lessons for students Make cyberspace a Better Place is a new initiative of Kids Helpline and Optus to help schools tackle cyber safety. The program provides Australia’s 3.5 million students with an opportunity to learn how to prevent cyber bullying, stay safe online and discover the dangers of sexting through a suite of free, comprehensive lesson plans. Each of Australia’s more than 10,000 primary and secondary schools received an education pack on cyber bullying, sexting and the safe use of technology. The pack targets years 3-6, 7-9 and 10-12 and contains two lessons for each age group, including video case studies, detailed lesson plans, screen savers and posters. Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said growing community concern about the online safety of children and young people had sparked the campaign. “Australian students live in a digital world and whilst this world is an amazing source of entertainment, information and connection, they need to learn how to avoid the dangers of its misuse,” she said. “Along with our partner
Optus, we have developed lesson plans to help teachers educate students on how to make better, safer choices online. Early feedback from schools has indicated that many young people don’t truly understand cyber bullying and have no idea of the personal and legal ramifications of sexting.” According to Kids Helpline research, many children and young people repeatedly fall victim to cyber bullying, with the most common forms including namecalling, abusive comments, harassment, exclusion, impersonation, threats of harm, defamation, spreading rumours and public humiliation. In 2010, Kids Helpline conducted almost 2,400 counselling sessions where young people were worried about bullying or cyber bullying and harassment. “Young people who are cyber bullied reported negative effects on their self-confidence, self-esteem, friendships, school grades and attendance, and family relationships,” Ms Protheroe said. All information and education packs are available for download from www.kidshelp.com.au.
library
New environmental resources available Goulburn Valley Regional Library has received a Shepparton Irrigation Region Catchment Education and Awareness grant, a program supported by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, for the purchase of environmental resources. Libraries across the region are now able to offer a range of books on biodiversity, climate change, sustainable agriculture, water management, salinity and pest plants and animals. Some of the titles now available for loan include: Sustainable Agriculture, Trees for Saline Landscapes, Adapting Agricul-
ture to Climate Change, Pests of Field Crops and Pastures, and Australia’s Biodiversity and Climate Change. A full list of the new resources is available at Yarrawonga Library and the books can be identified by a gum tree sticker on the spine. “The aim of the collection is to provide members of the community with information on a range of current environmental issues. We are pleased to be able to extend the collection on these subjects and extend our thanks for the grant being made available,” said Leeanne Higgins, Acting CEO for Goulburn Valley Regional Library.
CFA
Personal protective clothing for local CFA CFA has completed its replacement rollout program of 15,000 new structural personal protective clothing (PPC) garments for firefighters at over 500 CFA locations across Victoria. The PPC is used by firefighters responding to structural incidents such as house and factory fires. CFA members are supplied separate protective uniforms to fight bushfires. Local crews including Yarrawonga, Rutherglen and Wahgunyah are part of the $32-million dollar project which was finalised at the end of June and all of the replacement PPCs have now been delivered. The new structural PPC is a multilayered outfit incorporating sophisticated fabrics and technologies. It includes a coat and over-trouser specified to achieve the delicate balance between personal protection and heat stress. CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson said the suits are designed to integrate with existing structural firefighting apparel such as footwear, gloves and helmets to form a worldclass personal fire protection system.
“New technologies offer a greater level of protection for our members who turn out to structure fires,” Mr Ferguson said. “CFA needs to ensure firefighters are provided with the highest level of safety while still enabling them to do their job as effectively as possible.” Structural PPC is allocated to active CFA volunteers and career firefighters with a minimum competency of Wildfire with Low Structure and who belong to a brigade who responds to a certain number of structure fires and is approved by the Chief Officer. “The structural PPC suits allow appropriately qualified firefighters to enter a structure to fight the fire internally,” Mr Ferguson said. “The new structural PPCs are not intended to be allocated to every CFA firefighter. They are for a specific use. I am thrilled to see the completion of this enormous project which has taken place over the past three years. The new garments provide a leap in safety to our hard working firefighters who work tirelessly to ensure the protection of lives and property.”

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND MOBILITY PLAN (PAMP) SURVEY Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to the recent Pedestrian Access and Mobility Survey. The assistance of community members in the review of the Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) will help to identify areas that require improvement in Corowa, Howlong and Mulwala. Initial findings reveal that people in Corowa still have concerns regarding crossing points in Sanger Street, especially older people. For Mulwala residents there are issues with lack of footpaths to access the shops and a number of difficult crossing points have been flagged. Howlong residents have raised issues regarding footpath needs near the community centre in Victoria Street and difficulties crossing Sturt Street and Hawkins Road. A full analysis of all community survey responses and other available information will be undertaken prior to the new Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) being developed.
