Women at Work Celebrating their success
I
f you could travel back in time just 60 years, there are a few observations you may find difficult to believe: women were paid less than men for doing the same work, many banks denied women home or personal loans, and once married, women routinely left employment to become housewives and raise children. Fast forward to present day, and it is clear that women have come a long way in the quest for workplace equality. During this time Australian women have enjoyed an amazing array of achievements and successes in sporting, scientific and political arenas.
Danni Curcio
1966 Naida Haxton became the first woman to practice as a barrister in Queensland. 1970 Evonne Goolagong Cawley became the number one female tennis player in the world. 1981 Ita Buttrose became the first female editor of a major Australian metropolitan newspaper when she joined the Daily Telegraph. In 1992 Ita was the first woman to be awarded the Harnett Medal for community service and achievements in publishing, journalism, radio and television. 1992 Leneen Forde was commissioned as the first female Governor in Queensland. 2005 Dr Fiona Wood pioneered “spray on skin”, which revolutionised treatment for burns victims. She was awarded Australian of the year in 2005. 2008 Her Excellency Quentin Bryce AM was sworn in as Australia’s twenty-fifth Governor General and was the first woman to assume the role. 2010 Julia Gillard becomes the first female Australian Prime Minister.
These trail-blazers have paved the way for other women to work in fields which were previously male-dominated. More and more, modern workplaces are encouraging diversification and experiencing the benefits of a more equitable staffing demographic.
Danni Curcio, female Fire Fighter In the ACT, some workplaces are taking the bull by the horns to encourage women into roles that are traditionally filled by men. Danni Curcio joined the ACT’s Emergency Services last year as part of an initiative to diversify its workplace. Under the scheme sixteen trainee positions were offered, and of the 658 men and 144 women who applied, Danny was one of four women who were successful. The initiative resulted in a 500 per cent increase in the number of women who applied to be firefighters.
Commander Neil Maher explains that the results of the initiative have been pleasing. “The reality is that this is a job for which not many women apply. We made a concerted effort to go out there and try to attract more people, and the results have been fantastic”. Danni explains that the training course she undertook with the successful male and female applicants had the same content for both sexes. “We had to get through the same test, the same everything to get here. According to Danni, firefighting is an exciting career choice for women. “After three years sitting behind a desk I thought it was time to do something a little bit different. Coming to work and knowing that every day is going to be different is great”.
Rebecca Senyard, Plumber, Brisbane Research suggests that women are choosing their own trade to allow for flexibility when raising a family, and Rebecca Senyard joined her Dad’s plumbing business with this in mind. Believing strongly that women bring value to the workplace, Rebecca explains, “denying a woman the opportunity to work in certain skilled areas limits the success of a business. I believe women are an under-utilized resource. Women think differently to men and they often approach work differently to their male counterparts, and these qualities are what make for a dynamic and successful workplace. I think companies that don’t have women working in some area of their business can be at a disadvantage. Why should a woman be denied work opportunities just because she’s a woman!” Rebecca uses her plumbing blog The Plumbette to help women navigate tradie and plumbing life.

Why the workplace needs women

WGEA findings are aligned with Rebecca’s beliefs. According to their data, organisations that place value upon diversity tend to both attract and retain high performers. This in turn makes the workplace appealing to a wider range of applicants, which in turn widens the talent pool, and so the beneficial cycle continues. Recent global research also suggests that diverse workplaces have lower staff turnover,

Lisa Blumears, who is in the process of designing a smoke extraction system with her husband, completed the workshop with Small Business Solutions last December. She says the workshop had many benefits. “Although I came from a managerial background, I had no idea how to get a business off the ground,” she says. “I found it (the workshop) extremely beneficial and I felt myself growing with real knowledge that I can use at set-up stage, day to day and throughout our business life.” “The benefits included gaining an understanding around marketing and your market, gave us

n celebration of Tyson on our cover wearing Clayton Rondo, I decided for the fi rst time to give some great tips for the stylish men in our lives, from accessories to trends and tips on shopping with local Queensland businesses. I called in some help from local Brisbane menswear icons Alexander Jenkins and Mark Ferguson from Wil Valor. Without a doubt tailor-made is going to be my focus for the article! Once thought of as something only accessible to the super wealthy or could only be organised on a trip overseas, the price for local labels like Wil Valor to tailor fit your shirts, pants and jackets sits at a similar price to buying one off the rack. The benefits are not only having something totally unique for your casual weekend and a shirt that fits you perfectly, but you get help in choosing the best fabric colours and textures – so treat your man with a personalised session to get the best look

Why not match back with a great shirt? I love so many of the options at local store, Urbbana – the detail in the buttons, the stitching and the quality of the cotton is pretty amazing. The next big accessory trend of the season according to Alexander is fashionable men’s backpacks, with decorated stitching and pockets. The man

nown for their honest opinions and serious personalities, the Brisbane pair had talked themselves up and criticised others throughout the first round of MKR – but, it wasn’t all just talk. Proving they’re not average cooks, the pair received the highest score in MKR history in their first round – 102 points out of a possible 110. Their menu, featured daring dishes like lamb brains and pork jowl – but, surprisingly their dishes were loved by all. We spoke to the pair to get their take on the show and find out more about their love of food.
Brother and sister team, Amy and Tyson have caused quite a stir on Channel 7’s My Kitchen Rules this season.
So, what made you want to apply for the show?

here is a common sentiment amongst older people, especially men, that moving into a retirement community will mean giving up their independence and marching to someone else’s beat. It’s an understandable concern, given the fact they looked after themselves and others for decades, raised children and cared for grandchildren and they did, not that long ago, hold down positions of responsibility in their workplaces and communities. At the same time, I have also borne witness to new residents who traded their hard-earned independence to take a back seat during the transition to life in a village. They lose confidence in their own skills (and knowledge) and begin to rely on others to do the things they would not have thought twice about doing only months ago. We all know the adage, “use it or lose it”. Of equal importance is the discipline to stay healthy and active, and socially engaged, to fully enjoy our third age. At Elements, residents are given every opportunity to step up to new challenges big and small – from taking up new hobbies to instigating major projects in the village. As in any close-knit community, there are decisions to be made about by-laws, activities, events and use of communal spaces. Every one of these decisions are made with the majority consensus of our residents, with discussions and discourse at our www.southcitybulletin.com.au | March 2017

monthly residents’ meetings, thereby giving everyone a sense of ownership and purpose. If you have been to Elements, you would know of our 10-metre-deep, 250-metre-wide native garden that visually shields our village from Dennis Road. There are some 700 plants in this garden bed and each plant was selected and painstakingly planted, mulched and watered by residents, staff and my children over a two-week period. In Club Elements, the planter boxes on wheels (that act as room
partitions), all the furniture and the 3 notice boards were cheerfully designed, constructed and assembled by members of our workshop.

show, but I’ve always had a massive passion for food, that’s really where I want to go career-wise. Had you ever cooked together before the show?
Tyson: A little bit at family events. Amy: For us, food is definitely a way our family comes together. We centre everything around food, it’s always a dinner time or a lunch time thing. We like to experiment with different cuts of meat, our family isn’t as adventurous with food as we are so we leave that to our own enjoyment and tend to do the normal thing like BBQs, roasts and seafood. How would you describe your cooking style?
Tyson: Our cooking style is quite hard to describe. Amy: I’d say it’s very experimental, we like to mash interesting flavours and textures and different meats together, sometimes it really works and sometimes it really doesn’t. We’ve had some epic wins in terms of really unusual

A dependable group of volunteers keep new gardens moist and the water level in the pool right. A creative group unfailingly produce our monthly 20 to 30-page newsletter whilst a conscientious group stock and catalogue our extensive library of books, jigsaws and videos. Recently, residents have come forth and organised a quarterly dance evening. They have contacted groovy bands to serenade our residents into tapping their feet, swaying their bodies and twirling their dance partners. Sure, Elements could be any one of those retirement villages where we have a paid activities coordinator, a paid social coordinator, a paid bus driver, and a paid caretaker. But I’d like to think that there is a strong positive correlation between maintaining independence and the warding off of dementia. I believe that independence is crucial for enjoying a healthy and vital third age. So you can see that you don’t have to worry about losing your independence at Elements – because we won’t let you!

cuts of meat and we’ve had some epic fails as well. What type of fails?
Amy: I think an epic fail on the show was probably using pickles too much. We just pickled everything. Pete and Manu have said it is the year of pickles for MKR, we weren’t the only ones, but we we’re probably the team that took it to the extreme. Are contestants put through any cooking classes or taught certain techniques before the show?
Amy: No, it’s really just home cooks getting in there and doing what we do. You get better along the way, because you’re cooking so much and you get a lot of great feedback from the judges. The judges were great mentors for us and really helped us hone in on our style. Tyson, you’ve been portrayed as a person with a very honest opinion. Is this really your personality?
Tyson: I think it’s a very small portion of me, but they’ve pushed it to the extreme. I’m a fairly serious person, especially when it comes to food. I’m a perfectionist and I want myself to produce the best and I want to eat the best. Food for me induces so many emotions, you can get reminiscent with food, you can get joy, you can get sadness, you can get so much out of food and that’s what I love about it.
Do you think your parents had an influence on your love of cooking?
Who were the teams you got along with the most?
Amy: We’re very much self-taught, when we moved out of home that’s when we started cooking. Our parents cook, but they’re not all that good at it and they don’t love it like we do. I think it’s just something we grew to love. We love going out and experiencing really nice restaurants and I think that’s when it started. We wanted to try and replicate what we’d eat in a restaurant.
Amy: I think Tim and Kyle very early on in our group that we bonded with, because they know a lot about food and like eating similar foods to us. We’d go out and get a bunch of share plates and we all wanted the same things. It’s easy to talk to them about food, on the flip side of that though, they were also our biggest competition from the start as well. I think our style is quite different to a lot of the other teams and I think that’s what makes the show, when you have so many different personalities. Tyson and I went into it wanting to walk out with integrity, we didn’t want to play games.
What are some of your favourite places to dine at, in Brisbane?
Tyson: Loads of places, one of my fav places is Public, and Urbane is awesome. Amy: Esquire and Pete Evans’ Asana is really lovely too. Being a sister brother team, do you guys fight in the kitchen?
Amy: I think we have an advantage being a sister brother team. I think regardless of the combination, whether your husband and wife or brother and sister or friends, the show is quite stressful and there’s a lot that’s involved and that can bring out interesting emotions and interesting behaviours, which I find fascinating. Whereas, I think because we grew up together, we can tell each other to back off and it’s not going to be an issue and we can just go “I need 10 mins” or “I’m going for a walk’ before it escalates into a fight. We don’t have any fights on the show.

hether it’s secondary or primary, school is one of the most important stages in a young person’s life. It’s not only where they learn to grow and develop as an individual, but it’s also where they develop their skills and knowledge for the real world and their future careers. A school’s culture, atmosphere and outlook on education can have a big impact on the way young people develop and see education as a whole. A positive and supportive schooling experience can encourage students to follow their career dreams, whether that means having to complete tertiary education or finding a traineeship or apprenticeship in a particular trade. On the other side, a negative schooling experience can encourage the complete opposite. As well as education and skill development, school also allows young people to learn about the other important factors of life – socialising, family,
living a healthy lifestyle, respecting others, self worth and problem solving. To ensure all students grow up feeling confident and motivated about their lives outside of school, it’s important their school and its staff do their very best to make them feel welcome and supported the whole way through. Good schooling starts with great leaders, and there is definitely no shortage of them on the South Side. ide.

At the College we value all pathways and we are also very proud of our record with the Vocational Pathways. I welcome the opportunity to work in this Faith community.

Celebrating 20 Years IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE that 20 years have passed since Sheldon College had its beginnings around our kitchen table. The journey has not been without its share of challenges which ranged from a lack of financial backing, bitter opposition from other schools in the district, neighbours in the early days who did not want a new school on their doorstep, rejection by the New Schools Commission, and the slow turning wheels of the bureaucracy where local approvals were concerned. But out of adversity also comes opportunity. We will be eternally grateful to Lorette Wigan from Pine Lodge, and to those foundation parents who were prepared to take a gamble and share in a dream. They are such a rich part of our heritage which we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Independent Public School AS PRINCIPAL OF RUNCORN STATE HIGH SCHOOL, I am proud to announce
that from 2017 we are an Independent Public School. This is a mark of the school’s maturity. As an Independent Public School, Runcorn will have greater autonomy to explore innovative educational practices to reinforce the Runcorn Way: High Expectations and Personalised Learning. The foundation of our work with students is the “Ethic of Care”. This means we really look at the whole child, identify their strengths and tailor the educational program to best suit their learning needs. This combined with quality teaching by my expert teaching team, ensures that students achieve

A Colourful History: Archerfield Airport
Y
ou may have driven past it once or twice, but do you know the exciting history behind Archerfield Airport and how far it has actually come? We spoke to General Manager, Heather Mattes to find out more about the Airport and its historical feats. Heather, who is a pilot and a former National President of the Australian Women Pilots Association, was appointed General Manager of Archerfield Airport in January 2015. “I have a lot of experience in general aviation as well as property, construction, asset management and operations, including four years as Manager of Landside Transport and Assets for Brisbane Airport Corporation, Manager of Projects and Development at Sydney Ports Corporation, and Head of Property – Australia for Ansett,” she says. “Using this experience to manage an airport presented a new challenge for me. Archerfield Airport has a significant place in history and general aviation in Queensland, and part of my role is as custodian of this wonderful airport.” Heather says the Airport, which was established in the early 1930s, was Brisbane’s original city airport, so it has a very rich, colourful history.
“For instance, the igloo-shaped Hangar 5 which is a landmark along Beatty Road, made history in 1931 as the Qantas departure point for the first passenger-carrying flights to England,” she says. And “in 1933, Lores Bonney made her historic 20,000km solo flight to England from Archerfield Airport – she was the first woman to achieve this feat.” Heather says the airport was also a key military airfield for Australian, American and Dutch forces involved in the Pacific Campaign of World War Two. “Archerfield Airport is very proud of its history. The restored art deco-style terminal building is one of Australia’s most recognisable aviation landmarks, and God’s Acre pioneer cemetery, which was part of the grazing property before the airport was built, is one of only a handful of graveyards within an Australian airport.” With such a diverse and exciting history, it’s safe to say Archerfield Airport holds a great significance in the local community. Heather says the airport is a local landmark, supporting a thriving commercial community built on aviation and aviation-related services. “When Archerfield Airport was established,
there were no houses or factories within sight, so the suburb and commercial area of Archerfield have grown up around the airport over the years,” she says. “The airport plays a vital role in the economic well-being of its community, including generating employment opportunities.” Heather says Archerfield Airport now carries the largest number of general aviation movements of any Queensland airport, and is the State’s centre for flight training. “We have built numerous facilities such as the Corporate Hangar complex and the Aviation Student Accommodation and Training Complex for Basair; we also have seen older facilities rejuvenated, such as Hangar 5 which is home to Archerfield Jet Base and some amazing jets and Hangar 6 home to LifeFlight Heavy Maintenance. Archerfield Airport Corporation is continually expanding airport capabilities and the airport itself with aeromedical and emergency services, fixed base operations and maintenance facilities.”
General Manager, Heather Mattes
“There is no doubt that the airport will continue to develop; and Archerfield Airport Corporation will continue to work with the local community to guide this growth.” For more information about Archerfield Airport visit www.archerfieldairport.com.au

Interesting Occupations Could you be a Private Investigator? ?
C
onsidering the plethora of detective television shows that have kept us entertained over the years – think the 1980’s renditions of Magnum PI or Remington Steele - it is little wonder that misconceptions about the work of Private Investigators abound. Television may have us believing that the career of a private investigator consists of regular car chases and finding stolen jewels, but according to those who work within the industry, the reality is nowhere near as exciting. Stephen Foster* (not his real name) who has worked for a Brisbane investigations firm for over 15 years, says real life private investigating involves far less of the glamour and far more of the mundane. “Entire days or weeks can be spent doing internet searches and obtaining data for clients. The biggest difference between real life Private Investigators and those from our
favourite TV shows is that these days we must do everything by the book, and operate within the law”, Stephen explains. Considering that there is around $1.4 billion lost through insurance fraud within Australia each year, it is hardly surprising that around two thirds of the work undertaken by a PI involves the investigation of workplace injury and insurance claims. In fact, Private investigation is regarded as a growth industry due to the increase in fraud, and the determination of major corporations to track down the offenders. According to Stephen, this can involve painstaking surveillance work. “Private Investigators have to be prepared to do whatever work the job entails. This can mean spending many hours stationed outside a private residence or workplace just waiting for something to happen. On these types of jobs,
Strategix Training Academy
you basically live out of your car until you get what you are looking for – and in some cases, that can mean coming up empty”. The remaining third of work undertaken includes investigating cheating partners and missing persons. Due to the irregular and often lengthy hours, along with dealing with “the seedier side of life”, the job of a PI may not appeal to everyone. According to Stephen, the job is “a mix of the mundane and the maniacal – definitely not for those who prefer working 9 to 5”.
Courses also available in the areas of • Management • Business • Project Management • Youth Work • Workplace Health & Safety • Disability • Community Services • Counselling • Childcare • Business Administration • Hospitality • Manufacturing • Cleaning • Aged Care • Home Care • Teacher Aide Online or On Campus The Certificate 3 Guarantee Program is a Department of Education and Training Initiative.

5 Habits of Highly Effective Eaters
E
ffectiveness might sound strange for eating, as most people eat for taste, to overcome hunger cravings or because it is habitual routine. As one of the key foundations of human needs, we tend to take eating for granted, but there are some simple routines that we can implement to improve our eating habits and reap all the benefits of a healthier and leaner body, including more energy and a happier mind. 1. Eat breakfast, every morning! Breakfast sets the tone for the rest of your day. You will be less hungry throughout the day and less likely to binge on snacks or to over-eat at other meals.
2. Eat throughout the day at regular intervals (every 3 or 4 hours) The timing of eating is more important than most people think. Don’t eat based solely on hunger. Eat small meals throughout the day with healthy snacks, Greek yoghurt, raw nuts, raw veggies, dips and you will be less likely to give in to junk food. 3. Eat quality unprocessed whole real foods Nutritional and enzyme content is higher than processed foods without the hidden sugars, salt, additives and preservatives. 4. Eat more proteins and veggies Most people’s diets are heavy in carbohydrates (especially starchy carbs like potatoes, rice, pasta and breads) with proteins and veggies neglected. The recently updated Healthy Eating Pyramid by Nutrition Australia recommends at least 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables or legumes each day, which most are not achieving. 5. Listening to your body This maybe foreign to some, but our body gives us the best feedback on the foods that we eat. Here are some guidelines:
• If your urine is yellow you’re not drinking enough water • If your poo’s are not 7-8cms, light brown and easy to pass, you’re not eating the right foods. You should also be regular e.g. 2-3 times a day • If you are passing wind, feel bloated or bleaching, you are intolerant or sensitive to certain foods • 1 hour after food you should feel full, energized and in a great mood. If not, you’re eating the wrong foods, either too much protein or too much carbs. Effective eating is creating some simple habits for your body to work better and more efficiently. Incorporating these simple habits on a regular basis, you will notice changes in how you feel and see the changes in your body.

Healing from your Divorce written by a down-to-earth Yogi When your marriage breaks down it might, for a while, break your heart. Don’t let it break your spirit. Everyone expects their marriage to last forever. When it doesn’t, it is such a huge let down from what is expected, which is why author Karen Klenner has written a divorce manual to help men and women going through the divorce process. “I want you to understand that your divorce is a fact of life, not a reason for you to believe that you are a loser or a failure or not good enough. It is just another human experience and one of the hardest things you may go through,” Karen says. “I made mistakes during my separation and divorce and, after years of reflection and observation, I felt the need to write a manual to provide honest suggestions and guidance. I also saw many men and women still in the anger phase after more than a decade of separation. It is heartbreaking to think that they have wasted so much of their precious life being stuck. This manual was written as a genuine effort to prevent people from not moving on with their lives.”
The book helps men and women heal from their divorce, using 8 powerful and effective steps and their own healing power. Heal from your divorce yogi style: • Stop the anger that keeps you stuck in the mud • Who cares what other people think? • This is your divorce not your children’s • Don’t make comparisons to your ex’s new life • Be successful in your own right • Enjoy the changes in your life • Get legally sorted • You are amazing • Time to start anew “This is a pocket book with big heart and lots of great advice,” says Carissa who’s been separated six months with two small children. The printed version of Healing from your Divorce can be ordered at klklenner@gmail.com or visit www.facebook.com/healingfromyourdivorce for $15 & the eBook is available on iTunes or Amazon. Karen's yoga studio website is www.liftoffyoga.com.au

Karen and Rachael wrote the workshop based on the issues that were often raised by women during their contract together as program coordinators with the Logan Women’s Health and Wellbeing Centre in 2013.
Karen is a qualified Yoga and Meditation teacher and Rachael holds a degree in Nutrition and has recently studied Public Health. Currently they are presenting the workshops on Friday mornings from 10.30am-12.30pm at the Logan North Library and due to council funding the cost is $3.

DIGITAL with Hugh Mitchell
The Fate of the Furious
The TV terms you need to know
L
ast month, we took a look at what the coming year holds for the tech industry from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. One industry that showed plenty of innovation and forthcoming iteration was television development. If you’ve recently browsed the television section of your local electronics store, you may have noticed that new television screens seem to be bigger, the picture seems brighter and the information sticker on the side is filled with more acronyms than a medical textbook. For those of you thinking of picking up a new television sometime this year, those acronyms may seem like jargon, but they’re
actually rather important and can make a big difference in the price and quality of your fancy new television set. I’ve compiled a short list of the most common terms you’re likely to come across and given a brief explanation as to what they mean, to help you make an informed purchasing decision.
OLED and LED OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode and is quite different to your standard LED LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). OLED TV’s produce deeper blacks and brighter colours that many people claim makes a noticeable difference in picture quality. OLED
TV’s are currently quite expensive, however hopefully by the end of the year we will see a price reduction.
HD and UHD HD (High Definition) display means the device is capable of outputting 1080 or 720 images. These numbers refer to the number of pixels on the screen: the higher the number, the clearer the image. UHD (Ultra HD) outputs 4k, which contains roughly four times as
many pixels as an HD display. TV channels currently don’t broadcast much UHD content (this will be coming in the future), however Netflix and other streaming services offer UHD streaming for an additional fee.

ON THE HEELS OF FURIOUS 7, the fastest movie to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history, comes the new chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time. Vin Diesel leads the returning cast forward in The Fate of the Furious, starring Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren and Scott Eastwood. Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, the elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…. and to bring home the man who made them a family. The Fate of the Furious is in Cinemas from April 12. Lucky for you, we have 10 in-season doubles to giveaway! For your chance to win enter via the WIN page at southcitybulletin.com.au

As well as a lecture by Microsoft Partner Channel Development Manager, Desmond Russell about Digital Transformation and how Microsoft is pivoting to assist businesses in this new digital world. “It’s all about planning, we all need to learn more about technology, it’s many opportunities and of course the threats,� Graeme says. “We now live in a connected global community and those businesses that will survive and thrive are the ones that successfully navigate the coming challenges and
