Rich diet for bookworms Hume council has jumped on a global movement that encourages parents to read 1000 books to their children before they start primary school. Mayor Adem Atmaca said the challenge would prepare youngsters for a “lifetime of literacy”, and was supported by research showing that children need to be significantly exposed to literacy skills for a smooth transition to classrooms. The 1000 Books Before School program will be officially launched at the Age Library in the Hume Global Learning Centre on August 25 from 11am. The free event will feature talks by best-selling author and illustrator Jeanette Rowe and Sue McKerracher, chief executive of the Australian Library and Information Association. “The simple act of reading to a child delivers so many wonderful benefits,” Cr Atmaca said. “Parents who read story books out loud help develop the vocabulary and language skills of their children.” Enrol at any Hume library.

‘Teach anti-violence’ call By Lexi Cottee The Broadmeadows Legal Centre has called on the state government to take a long-term approach to family violence by tackling it in the classroom. In the legal centre’s submission to the Royal Commission on Family Violence, report author and family violence lawyer Anita Plesa recommended that all schools adopt a program promoting respectful and healthy relationships for students from prep to year 12. Since 2010, the legal centre has conducted a family violence prevention program with Roxburgh College’s year 9 students.
The program aims to challenge young people’s perception of family violence by exploring the legal system and family violence myths, and examining healthy relationships. Ms Plesa wrote that the program was a longterm investment. “It will be generational change that will ultimately make the difference in reducing family violence in future,” she wrote. “Our involvement with the students has shown that a fundamental shift in their attitude to family violence can occur if young people are given the opportunity to have information and open discussion on these issues.” In a program evaluation survey conducted
last year, one year 9 student wrote: “It helped me and I realised I was treating my girlfriend wrong. Perfect, amazing, helpful and meaningful presentation.” Legal centre community legal education co-ordinator Flora Culpan said primary school teaching of the subject was not too early. “I often say to the kids, you’re the ones who are going to make a difference,” Ms Culpan said. “It’s about how you deal with things when they’re not going the way you want … it all comes down to respect.” The legal centre also recommended the state government invest in existing community
groups, such as the Craigieburn-based Oorja Foundation, that are attempting to tackle family violence in migrant communities. Ms Plesa said that, based on her experience, Indian women in Australia were particularly vulnerable and reluctant to access family violence services. “The Indian community itself will be the most effective driver of change,” she said. “To an extent, change cannot be imposed on them but must develop and be effected by the Indian community itself.” The commission is due to provide its report and recommendations to the government by February 29 next year.

Hume, Whittlesea singles on the housing outer Affordable houses large enough for families are in good supply in Whittlesea and Hume, according to the state government’s latest rental report. The Department of Health and Human Services’ March quarter report shows almost 21 per cent of all rentals in Whittlesea were ‘affordable’, while in Hume almost 25 per cent of rental housing stock was similarly ‘affordable’. The report deemed a property affordable if
it was within 30 per cent of gross income for low-income households. According to the report, most of the two municipalities’ affordable houses have four or more bedrooms. About a quarter of three-bedroom houses were affordable in Hume, but only 12.4 per cent were affordable in Whittlesea, and the availability of inexpensive accommodation was in shorter supply as house sizes decreased. Not a single one-bedroom place was considered
affordable in either municipality. Launch Housing is an independent community organisation committed to ending homelessness. Its lead researcher George Hatvani said the report painted a dire picture for single men and women on low incomes. “And while it’s fine for families with kids, they’re also forced to live far away from public transport, education and employment,” he said. “We’ve got a globalised property market and that’s keeping property prices high.”
Launch Housing’s “more houses for people” campaign is urging state and federal governments to work together to create affordable housing in Victoria. The campaign calls for growth in public and social housing stock, taxation changes to provide incentives to provide more affordable rental properties, and significant increases to Commonwealth rent assistance.

Festival forced out By Lexi Cottee A Whittlesea-based not-for-profit organisation for newly arrived migrants is being forced to hold its annual dance festival outside the city after RMIT University raised its venue hire fees by more than 230 per cent. The Northern Gujarati Association of Melbourne (NGAM) has held its dance celebration, the Festival of Navratri, at the university’s sports centre in Bundoora since 2012. NGAM president Nimesh Shah said the event attracted 100 in its first year, 750 people in 2013 and more than 850 last year.
He said the figures were a testament to the growth of the Indian community in Whittlesea and the importance of holding the event in a large venue like RMIT’s Bundoora Netball and Sport Centre. But he was forced to look elsewhere when the university told him the venue would cost $3975 this year, not inclusive of a stage and sound system, which would add another $3000 to the total cost. He said that in previous years they were charged $1200. The Mill Park resident said it would not be possible to pass those costs onto the price of a ticket.
“They said this is the way it goes, but it’s just not possible to share those costs,” Mr Shah said. “I’m a Whittlesea resident, I want the event to be here but we don’t get many sponsors and I’m not a beggar. We need a big venue.” A spokesman from RMIT University said the price quoted to NGAM reflected the fact they wanted the facility when it would normally be closed. “While the cost of the court would have been roughly similar to last year, opening the centre especially for this group’s use would have meant putting on additional staff, including RMIT staff to manage the facility during its use and the additional hiring of outside security staff to 1am.”
MASON POINT MEDICAL NOW OPEN
An Epping man has been charged with involvement in a criminal syndicate that allegedly used foreign students as sub-contractors to deliver Australia Post parcels. Rakesh Kumar, 37, faced five charges in Melbourne Magistrates Court last Wednesday, including conspiracy to obtain or gain from a Commonwealth entity, falsifying documents, possessing forged documents and dealing with money or property suspected as being proceeds of crime. Kumar and 34-year-old Balwyn man Baljit ‘Bobby’ Singh are listed as co-directors of registered training provider St Stephen Institute of Technology, at Reservoir. The business was allegedly used as a front for large-scale fraud, estimated to have robbed millions of dollars from foreign students and Australian taxpayers. Following a joint investigation by Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Border Police and the Australian Skills Quality Authority, with Australia Post assistance, raids were carried out at Lalor, Epping, Preston, Balwyn and Tarneit last Tuesday. Assets valued at more than $8.5 million were seized including a 2014 Ferrari, six properties, a 2015 Range Rover, watches and more than $180,000 in cash. The AFP alleges the Reservoir institute and Footscray training provider Symbiosis Institute of Technical Education did not offer legitimate courses, instead offering visas for Indian students, charging more than $9 million in tuition fees and claiming about $2 million in government subsidies. Students were then allegedly subcontracted through Singh’s labour hire companies. Kumar and Singh were granted bail to return to court in January. Lexi Cottee

The associates will teach diverse subjects over their two years with the program while simultaneously working on their master of teaching degrees at Deakin University. A spokesman for Education Minister James Merlino said the associates were provided significant in-school support by Teach For Australia, Deakin University and other teachers and school leaders to ensure high-quality teaching and learning. “This is an endeavour we’re proud to support as part of our overall efforts to address educational disadvantage and strive towards excellence for all,” Mr Merlino said. The Teach for Australia program receives the bulk of its funding from the federal government, with contributions from state governments and corporate and philanthropic supporters. Since 2010, the Victorian government has committed more than $12.9 million towards it. Mr Merlino’s announcement last Monday coincides with increased demand for the program from Victorian schools.

Victoria’s brightest minds are proving their worth as teachers, working with secondary students in some of the state’s most challenging classrooms. The state government has committed to expanding the Teach for Australia program, which places high-performing student teachers in disadvantaged schools around Victoria. The program aims to break the cycle of disadvantage by paring exemplary tertiary students, many of whom have previously worked in law, science or economics, with secondary students from lower socio-economic areas. Now the state government will next year assign a further 25 master of teaching students to Victorian schools, including Mill Park Secondary College (MPSC). The school has been part of the program since its inception in 2010. MPSC head principal Trish Horner said it had enabled teachers to collaborate with some of the state’s best minds. “We signed up because I liked the concept; I felt that recruiting high achievers and giving them on-the-job experience seemed a good way to inject some enthusiasm into the [teaching] profession,” Ms Horner said. The government’s renewed investment in the program, announced at Mill Park last Monday, will place 65 student teachers, or ‘associates’ as the program calls them, in schools later this year, before they begin official placements in 2016.
Echoes of Gallipoli About seven months ago, Michael Whitehead (pictured) decided to research the names embossed on plaques that line Whittlesea’s Avenue of Honour. The RSL member discovered that two of the 45 soldiers named were part of an August 7, 1915 offensive – the last major attempt by Allied forces at Gallipoli to break the stalemate that had persisted since April 25 that year. He said the soldiers’ remains had never been recovered. “They deserve to be known,” Mr Whitehead said. In the past month, Whittlesea council, with state government funding, has removed and restored all the city’s plaques and placed them in more prominent locations, each with space for flowers to be placed alongside. Mr Whitehead, a military historian, mounted his standard-bred horse last week as the finishing touches were completed for the new plaques in Church Street. Lexi Cottee

Fortunes turn for Cherrie
THE GLENROY GRANNIES
Final time-out for grans By Lexi Cottee Forty-five years of friendship forged on netball courts will not dissipate when the Glenroy Grannies officially retire from the game this year. Team captain Beryl Paterson said the 10 “girls” had already booked a trip to Koh Samui in Thailand for next month and were planning to head to Fiji in 2016. But talk of the team’s retirement this year is a rather more sober matter.
Ms Paterson said the high-impact nature of the sport had taken its toll on the women, some of whom have had knee or hip replacements and are in their mid-to-late 70s. “We decided while we are together it would be nice for us to retire as a team,” Ms Paterson said. She said the team’s inaugural players started in their late 20s and early 30s in the Northern Ladies Netball Association. More recently, they have competed in the Broadmeadows Netball Association on Monday and Thursday nights. 10012266-01-a17Jun©MMP

Ms Paterson said the team was originally called “Glenroy” but morphed into the “Glenroy Grannies” after cheers from their children to “come on, you old grannies”. About a decade ago, their longevity in the game began to be recognised. Awards and recognition began flowing from Vic Health and local MPs. While it’s “a sad time”, Ms Paterson said: “Our netball might have ended but our friendship will last forever and our yearly overseas holidays, too.”
An abandoned puppy found in a Hillside park will get a second chance at life but faces a future possibly without sight. Six-week-old bulldog ‘Cherrie’ was found abandoned in a box at a park in Ashbury Grove early last month. In severe pain and suffering a prolapsed eye, ulcers to her second eye and a severe worm infestation, Cherrie was handed in to a local vet who contacted Brimbank council, which then referred her to Second Chance Animal Rescue (SCAR) in Campbellfield. This has been an all-too-familiar story for the shelter. “We do help a number of council areas, but we do have quite a few animals being surrendered from the Brimbank area,” SCAR managing director Marisa Debattista said. Cherrie underwent surgery to sew her eyelids shut to relieve pressure, and she may have the prolapsed eye removed when she is eight weeks old. Cherrie has been placed in a foster home with a veterinary nurse and is doing “extremely well”. Ms Debattista said it was difficult to know what happened to the brave pup.

Big raps on litte jabs A Thomastown early-learning centre for Aboriginal children and families is turning around low immunisation rates and helping others get the message, too. About six weeks ago, Bubup Wilam Early Learning Centre became a hub for families to learn about the different vaccines required for children and adults. The initiative started last month when Whittlesea council was given $25,000 to boost vaccination rates among Australia’s first people. The council’s immunisation co-ordinator, Tanya Perrin, says the council will publish a children’s storybook with input from children at Bubup Wilam, teaching how vaccines protect the body from harmful diseases. Ms Perrin hopes the book will be used across Victoria as an educational tool for families. “It’s about awareness and providing education about vaccination for the Aboriginal community.” Lexi Cottee

Mind matters There’s a new focus on finding calm in the classroom Children today face more daily stress than ever, with the pressure to succeed at school, gain a place at a top university and secure the brightest future weighing heavily on young shoulders. In an effort to improve student well-being, many schools are embracing the practice of mindfulness, which has been found to deliver significant benefits, both inside and outside the classroom. Originating in Buddhist tradition, mindfulness is the practice of quietening the mind to bring inner peace and calm. It might sound a little out there for some, but its effects are definitely beneficial, says Loyola College’s developmental phychologist, Larissa McKay. “Staff and students are learning strategies scientifically proven to enhance well-being, such as practising gratitude, acts of kindness, mindfulness and prayer,” she says. While there’s nothing particularly new about promoting self-development in schools, Larissa says the world we now live in, especially increasing rates of childhood anxiety and depression, has promped a renewed focus on student well-being. She says 26 per cent of adolescents experience some form of mental illness, with the average age of sufferers dropping from 28 to just 14 over the past 50 years. Factors such as bullying, family problems and a fear of social rejection can play a role in mental illness. Add in pressure to succeed in class, a constant online presence and competition among peers, and children can reach breaking point. However, several Melbourne schools have found that adopting a new approach to stress relief has a positive effect on students’ overall well-being, and are quick to praise the practice. Loyola College, for example, conducts weekly meditative prayer and mindfulness sessions to
calm and refocus students during periods of stress and worry. Assumption College in Kilmore has a team of five guidance counsellors and psychologists working in a dedicated wellness centre, which offers a wealth of services, including therapy and social support. There is a clear link between student happiness at school and achievement levels. But mindfulness training helps to produce well-rounded individuals, able to deal with daily life outside the classroom as well as the demands of academia. “Schools need to equip their students for life once they leave the safety of the classroom,’’ Assumption College registrar Bernard Jephson says. “Assisting students to understand options, consider consequences and make choices is something that all schools try to achieve.” The relatively recent introduction of mindfulness into education means its development still has some way to go. But those who have already embraced it report feeling calmer, happier and more attentive – skills they can use in all walks of life. It’s an approach that sits well at Academy of Mary Immaculate in Fitzroy. Says student counsellor Giovina Costantini, “If we are able to identify and understand the things that we are good at … then we will be better able to influence how we respond to life’s hurdles. “These life skills need to be taught and given the same emphasis as the academic skills of reading and writing.” Laura Griffiths Stress-buster: Mindfulness helps teenagers find inner calm.

Code for career Schools are embracing a high-tech future, today Children are no strangers to creating secret codes and languages only they understand. But the next time you suspect as much, be careful what you say; chances are they may actually be talking tech. Yes, “code chat” is no longer exclusive to the IT department, as schools across Melbourne are set to roll out digital literacy classes to equip the next generation for successful careers in our increasingly technology-focused world. Loyola College ICT manager Victor Dalla-Vacchia believes that immersing children in the field, rather than following the textbook-based medium of old, is the key to success. “The ability to create, not just consume, information and digital resources will be a critical driver for career longevity and societal prosperity in future,” he says. A recent report in The Age argued that a lack of interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects among school students is to blame for the widening “skills gap” between jobs available in these fields and the people qualified to do them. It is increasingly apparent that this is an issue we need to address if we want to encourage the next generation of Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerbergs. “With the instant gratification culture systemic in modern society, studies requiring higher order thinking skills typically face resistance from students,” Victor says. The same report highlighted that digital proficiency now needs to be considered a basic life skill, and that learning it should be as important as maths, English and languages. To tackle the issue, and lure students away from the traditionally “fun” subjects of art
and theatre, schools are getting creative with their science studies, building technology into subjects across the board and introducing extracurricular classes that accentuate the enjoyable side of computing. Following the introduction of iPads and social media as learning tools in the classroom in recent years, some schools are having success with a hands-on mode of learning when it comes to increasing interest in subjects like ICT and science.
‘‘
We believe in educating our students for an unknown and ever-changing today and – Geraldine Lewin tomorrow
’’
Our Lady of Mercy College, for example, has introduced more technology into the curriculum, including using DNA sequencing in science classes and engineering in Information Technology. As a result, the school reports a growing interest in science subjects throughout, and says girls, in particular, seem to enjoy this modernised way of learning. The school is also developing skills through its technology and engineering “Bits and Bytes” classes, and extra-curricular “Makerspace” classes at lunchtime, which incorporate robotics, electronics and circuitry. The aim is to link classroom work with student interests, and the classes are integral to the overall learning program. When learning complex subjects, employing
apps and technology in the classroom gives students the opportunity to put skills learnt into practice immediately, and propels their interest to investigate further avenues of study. While exposing children to technology at increasingly younger ages is a controversial subject, there’s little doubt that embracing technology in the classroom today will lead to a flexible, digital savvy workforce of the future. OLMC is keenly aware of this. “We believe in educating our students for an unknown and ever-changing today and tomorrow,” says the school’s science domain leader Geraldine Lewin. Laura Griffiths

17 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 11, 2015
SPORT Hume City takes long road to grand final series Hume City Broncos will have to make the grand final series the hard way after losing to Ringwood on Saturday night in Big V state championship women’s basketball. After finishing on top of the ladder and having the week off, the Broncos could have won straight through to the best-of-three grand final series in two weeks. Instead, the Broncos will face Bulleen this weekend for a chance to play Ringwood for a third successive year in the premiership series after losing 64-54 in their qualifying final. The Broncos were left to rue a poor first half – they trailed by 16 points at the main break. Assistant coach Warren Taylor said the side didn’t adjust to finals pressure. “We have played them that many times in finals and the games are always a little more
‘‘
We probably didn’t adjust … as well as we - Warren Taylor should have
’’
physical and a lot tougher and harder to run through offence,” he said. “We expected it but we probably didn’t adjust to that level as well as we should have.” Despite a poor first quarter by the Broncos, scores were level at quarter-time – but that is when the game changed. The Broncos struggled to get the ball through hands at the offence end, with last year’s most valuable player, Colleen Planeta, being put under massive physical pressure. “She sat with a bit of hamstring tightness in
the first quarter,” Taylor said. “She only had one point in the second quarter. “Everyone knows that we want the ball going through her hands. They did really well at stopping that. We didn’t adjust to that and have the second or third option.” The Broncos stepped up in the second half defensively. “We were really good in the third quarter and held them to eight points,” Taylor said. “Defensively you have to set the tone, especially when the offence is stagnant and a bit clunky. We didn’t score as much as we would have liked in that quarter.” The Broncos levelled the scores with three minutes to go through some different options. “We wrestled the momentum back,” Taylor said.
Tigers save best for last By Tara Murray It’s pretty simple for Westmeadows . . . win this weekend and the Tigers play finals, lose and they have to rely on other results going their way to finish in the final four. The Tigers are fourth on the table with just one home-and-away match to play. They made sure their finals hopes remained in their control with a comprehensive win over Craigieburn in Division 1 of the Essendon District Football League on Saturday. After an even first quarter, the Tigers kicked nine goals to three in the second to open up a match-winning lead over table-toppers Craigieburn. And they kept extending that lead in the second half to win 21.11 (137) - 13.7 (85). For Tigers coach Dave Connell it was about getting the win and not focusing on what was ahead of them. “I think we’ve played our best football in the last few weeks,” Connell said. “It was really tough [losing to Essendon Doutta Stars the previous weekend] as we were satisfied with how we played. “You have to beat these sides if you want to play finals and we’ve been building towards this the last four to five weeks.” Cameron Trewin kicked seven goals for the Tigers in a near best-on-ground performance. “Cam is my assistant coach and we found the forward line of Cam, Roden Aldridge and Luke Wilson wasn’t working,” Connell said. “Cam came to me and said that for team balance he would step back and semi retire. He continued to train and when Roden did his ACL, Cam came back in. “Against the Eagles, I took control of the forward line, which Cam normally looks after, and let him just play.” At the other end Cameron Cloke kicked six for the Eagles to go back to the top of the division’s goal kicking table. Connell said he would look to his experienced players during the week to ensure the players don’t get ahead of themselves. “It can go two ways. We can get ahead of ourselves or have self-belief to focus on this week,” he said. Connell said even if they didn’t make finals, the side had improved on last year. “Last year we couldn’t get within 12 or 13 goals of the top two sides,” he said. “This year we matched it against Doutta Stars and defeated Craigieburn.” Tullamarine remains two points outside the top four after a win over Oak Park. To make the finals, it needs to win at East Keilor and hope Westmeadows or Oak Park lose. If Oak Parks loses and Tullamarine wins it will come down to percentage. 18 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 11, 2015
“We had the opportunity … they had a time-out at the right time [to halt the flow]. They scored a couple of baskets out of that and that was probably the game.” Nicole Zammit top-scored for the Broncos with 15 points, while Planeta had 14 points and Nicole McMahon chipped in with 11 points coming off the bench. Taylor said Zammit found space and got to the offensive boards. The Broncos believe they have what it will take to beat Bulleen. “They beat us last time and scouted us really well,” Taylor said. “We are confident [about] where we went wrong and how to fix it.” Tara Murray
It’s all or nothing for Bulls’ season Bundoora is setting itself to finish third and get a second finals chance in division 1 of the Northern Football League. But the Bulls are just as aware they could miss out on the finals altogether. Only two games separate third from sixth, with the Bulls currently fourth. The Bulls took the points on Saturday in a 13.15 (93) - 10.7 (67) win against West Preston Lakeside. “I think we were in control for most of the game and we brought it home hard in the last quarter,” football manager Darryl Richards said. “It was a real team effort but Matty Dennis was the standout in the middle of the ground.” Richards said one of the big pluses was the form of former AFL player and veteran Gary Moorcroft. “About two weeks ago we decided we needed more experience around the ball to help get clearances,” he said. “We put Gary onto a wing to use his experience and body around the contest. He hasn’t said much about the change in role but I think he’s thriving. “There’s a hell of a lot of work for him to do on the wing and he’s pretty sore after the game, but he recovers really well.” With no Moorcroft in the forward line, the Bulls could have struggled for goals, but they seem to have several options. And with forwards Liam Byrne, Josh Grabowski and Adrian Papaluca all missing on Saturday, Ned McKeown stood up with five goals. “He came back to us from playing VFL with Collingwood,” Richards said. “We played him in defence and around the ground but we moved him to full forward in the last quarter and he kicked four goals.” The Bulls play top side Macleod this week. “We then play Lower Plenty and it could come down to that game who plays finals,” Richards said. “We’re still looking to sneak into third spot.” In division 2, the finals race is still alive after Fitzroy Stars won a thriller 18.13 (121) - 19.6 (120) against Whittlesea to keep their finals hopes alive. Lalor is back on top of the ladder after an 80-point win against Panton Hill.

Pacers’ second chance By Tara Murray Whittlesea Pacers know they weren’t far off making a grand final on their first attempt and are determined to make it the second time in Big V women’s division 1. The Pacers, who finished on top of the ladder, fell three points short in a thrilling qualifying final against Geelong Supercats on Saturday night. The Supercats won 63-60 to go straight to the grand final, while the Pacers will face Camberwell for the right to play them again. Pacers coach Shannon Bodley said it was a learning experience for many of his side. “It’s the first time as a group we have played a final and it’s a big learning experience, while Geelong have some seasoned finals competitors,” he said. “Obviously it’s a disappointing result but it was typical finals atmosphere and intensity.” The Pacers made the better start to lead by 11 points at quarter-time. But Bodley said the third quarter was the difference between the two sides. “They showed us what it was about . . . they jumped us,” he said. “The momentum went their way. We tried to get it back and, credit to the girls, they didn’t throw in the towel.” Kimetria Hayden top-scored with 25 points after flying out of the blocks. Bodley said his team needed to look for options other than Hayden. “They double teamed Kimetria and we didn’t capitalise and look for the free players,” he said. He said defence would be the key to beating Camberwell. “They have a lot of good shooters,” Bodley said. “It’s about defence for us and I think we outsize them and can shut them down.”
