Welcome to the 2016 WRICA Careers Expo Deciding on a career path is a big decision to make and transitioning from secondary school to further education, training or employment can be both an exciting and overwhelming experience for our young people.

That is why Careers Expos are very important because they provide the resources and support to help our youth make the right choices.

Wyndham City is proud to support this event and we are grateful to once again hold the WRICA Careers Expo in Wyndham.

Over the past 18 years, the WRICA Expo, the third largest of its type in Victoria, has been providing support to young community members of Wyndham and Hobsons Bay. The Expo helps young people make important decisions about the type of work they want to pursue, understand what training and apprenticeship opportunities are available and what they need to undertake to attain their dream job.

Increasing education and creating local job opportunities are part of Wyndham City’s top priorities.

The ongoing transformation to a knowledge economy is exciting and with this transformation many new opportunities are arising.

Growing existing businesses and attracting companies that will meet the employment needs of students exiting the education system are some of the key challenges that we must address as this transformation continues.

We continue to support job creation initiatives at the East Werribee Employment Precinct, Werribee City Centre and Truganina Employment Precinct by attracting new business investments to create local employment.

Council is also working with the State Government and education and industry partners in the delivery of a new Technical School which will deliver a “hands-on” program focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

We continue to work in partnership with the WynBay Local Learning & Employment Network in the delivery of a Structured Workplace Learning Program for Year 11 and 12 Students and other employment and training programs to assist our young people.

I’d like to acknowledge the Wyndham Hobsons Bay Career Association for their commitment in running the Expo for the past 18 years. I am sure this year’s event will be successful and it will be a valuable experience for our young community members.

IM PALLAS MP STATE MEMBER FOR WERRIBEE

CONGRATULATIONS WRICA “ Congratulations to the organisers of the WRICA exhibition. I am proud to support this event.”

Tim Pallas MP, Member for Werribee

President welcome message It is my pleasure to once again to announce the details for this Year’s WRICA Careers Expo – it will be held on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th May at the Werribee Racing Centre. There will be seminars offered on Thursday afternoon looking at Pathway Selection; Interview Skills; and Apprenticeship and Trainee Opportunities, these will be open sessions from 3.00pm onwards.

In the current Training and Employment environment with a number of Training Providers having their accreditations revoked and going out of business, WRICA Careers Practitioners at the school level have a greater role to play in providing the young people in Melbourne’s South West with the best, and most current careers advice possible. It is through our regular monthly meetings with our tertiary and vocational partners that we are able to discuss the ways in which we may best impart this information to our students.

Our Careers Expo is a crucial component of the work that we, as an organisation, do in allowing students at all secondary schools in Hobsons Bay and Wyndham access to information first hand from approximately 60 Tertiary and Vocational Exhibitors in the one setting.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office with respect to any State government matters.

We are proud of the position in the Career Education landscape that the WRICA Career Expo holds – it is the third largest event of its kind in the state – and the largest run by an individual careers association. We have grown the event from a fledgling Expo 18 years ago which had a handful of exhibitors, and this year promises to be another step forward in our ongoing efforts to provide relevant career development material accessible to all.

We would like to thank all of our Sponsors, and in particular our naming rights sponsor: The Werribee Learning Centre – a joint venture between Deakin University and The Gordon Institute to establish their presence as tertiary pathways providers in Wyndham. Without institutional, local business and local government support we would not be able to continue our work in delivering an event such as the WRICA Careers Expo.

Parking, the big put-off An independent survey has revealed what many Werribee CBD shoppers and traders already know: the struggle to find a carpark space is stopping people from coming to the city centre more often.

Customer research commissioned by Wyndham council and conducted by Metropolis Research found that a lack of parking was a deterrent for 31 per cent of respondents, with almost half (49 per cent) rating parking in the area as “very poor”.

A preference for shopping elsewhere (23 per cent) and the city centre not having the kind of shops the shopper was after (15.4 per cent) were the other main deterrents.

The survey also found: • 49 per cent of respondents went to Werribee’s CBD for dining out and entertainment, while 27.5 per cent preferred Pacific Werribee.

• Respondents rated all aspects of the city centre as good or very good, with the exception of parking and public toilets.

• Two-thirds of respondents visited Werribee’s CBD several times a week.

• Only 2.5 per cent listed safety concerns as a deterrent from visiting the city centre.

Wyndham Business and Tourism Association president Nick Christou said he was unsurprised that a lack of parking was seen as an impediment for Werribee CBD shoppers, but he was otherwise pleased with the results.

“With 84 per cent of people coming by car … it really highlights how big an issue parking is,” Mr Christou said.

“I don’t think there was anything that

stood out that we didn’t know already, but from the point of view of where the opportunities are – if you look at where [in Wyndham] people shop and for what goods, it highlights that the Werribee city centre has a lot to offer.

“I think the information is encouraging and I think we’re certainly on the right path.

‘‘

It highlights that the Werribee city centre has a lot to offer

’’

- Nick Christou

“People prefer to dine out in [the Werribee CBD] area than at Pacific Werribee [in Hoppers Crossing], and they have a dedicated dining precinct, and we have a disjointed dining precinct.”

Mayor Adele Hegedich said the research contradicted some negative perceptions about Werribee’s main shopping district.

“The Werribee city centre is sometimes portrayed as being potentially unsafe, but the findings of this research have contradicted that rhetoric,” she said.

“Personal safety concerns were found to be the least significant barrier to people visiting the city centre.”

The findings come the same week in which building began on the long-awaited Cherry Street carpark, which will be built over two stages – 108 spaces during stage one and 47 during stage two – on the former Werribee Hyundai site and two adjoining sites.

The carpark is expected to be completed by mid-June.

Next stop … Miss World Tayla Krnac is passionate about helping children – so much so that she’s making it the focus of her life. The 21-year-old Point Cook resident, who is studying to be a teacher, has scored a spot in the state finals for the Miss World Australia pageant. Tayla is using the competition to raise funds for Variety. “I love that Variety is all about helping sick, disadvantaged and disabled children,” she says.

How Swede it will be at Pacific Werribee The worst-kept secret in retail has finally been confirmed: Swedish fashion label H&M is coming to Pacific Werribee.

Rumours have been circulating for months that the retailer would be calling Pacific Werribee home, but it wasn’t confirmed until last week when Pacific Shopping Centres unveiled a list of new brands that will open at the centre in July as part of a redevelopment.

It will be Victoria’s third H&M store.

H&M will join Japan-based retailer Uniqlo, Kikki.K, Swarovski, Mecca Maxima, Seed, Heritage, Sportsgirl, Peter Alexander, Decjuba, Country Road, French Connection, Veronika Maine, Sportscraft and Bardot, as well as a two-level Myer that will be more than three times the size of the existing department store.

Stage three of Pacific Werribee’s $400 million redevelopment will open to the public on July 28.

Pacific Shopping Centres’ chief executive Graham Terry said he was thrilled with the new retailers that would soon call Pacific Werribee home.

“Welcoming these prominent brands to Pacific Werribee’s stable of leading retailers is a really proud moment for us,” Mr Terry said.

“We embarked on the centre’s development with the vision of evolving it into a one-stop fashion, food and entertainment destination,

and it’s the introduction of these global and local brands that will create a well-rounded offering comparable to metropolitan Melbourne.”

Pacific Werribee reported a 15 per cent growth in sales, bringing in $435 million over the 2015 calendar year.

On average, more than 200,000 people are shopping at Pacific Werribee each week.

Death deflected by love A locket close to his heart may have saved the life of Laverton man Albert Victor Hyde when a shell exploded in front of him during World War 1.

He is among 26 local men, including his brother Edward Ernest Hyde, whose stories will be revealed at the unveiling of an honour board at Old Laverton School on May 21.

Sergeant Albert Hyde’s son, Tarneit resident Glen Hyde, said his father was sent to Gallipoli in 1915 with the 14th Battalion before being transferred to the 46th Battalion and sent to France to fight the Germans.

He said his father had a miraculous escape while advancing across no man’s land when a

shell exploded in front of him.

“His right leg was fractured in several places and his body riddled with shrapnel,” Mr Hyde said. “When he was eventually taken to hospital, the doctor was about to amputate his leg, but fortunately dad was conscious and begged the doctor not to amputate.

“An amount of shrapnel was removed from his body – approximately 26 pieces – but several pieces were left.

“We used to feel the shrapnel in dad’s arms, his back, his hand and above his right eye.”

Mr Hyde said the shrapnel was there until the day his father died.

“On enlisting and before going overseas, his fiancee, Irene Newland, gave him a locket which contained a photo of herself,” Mr Hyde

said. “He wore this around his neck on a chain.

A large piece of shrapnel struck this locket, destroying it but probably saving his life.”

When Sergeant Hyde returned from war, he married Irene.

Four of Irene’s brothers had also enlisted.

Lindsay Newland was killed in action in Belgium; William and Herbert were wounded in France; and James, as a captain, was awarded a Victoria Cross in leading his men in three separate actions against the Germans.

Stories such as these will be shared at this month’s unveiling of the Laverton honour board at a free public event. It will be held at Old Laverton School, corner Kiora Street and Cameron Avenue, Laverton, from 2pm on Saturday, May 21.

A fundraising page has been created for a Werribee father of three who was killed on the Western Ring Road on Saturday morning.

Tara Brennan 27, of Altona Meadows, has been charged with dangerous driving causing death over the fatal crash.

Alan Dunlop, 31, died after he was struck by a car in the emergency lane about 10.40am.

Family friend Emma Mackey said a GoFundMe page had been set up by mutual friend, Pam McGuire, to help Mr Dunlop’s children. “He had three kids: Shanee, age 11, Brye, nine, and Memphis, six, who he loved with all his heart,” Mrs Mackey said. “Alan and his family are extremely close and this has hit them all pretty hard.” Mrs Mackey said that on Saturday, Mr Dunlop wasn’t feeling well so his cousin, who was driving, pulled over in to the emergency lane near Fitzgerald Road in West Sunshine.

Police said Mr Dunlop stepped out of the Ford Laser on to the side of the road and a short time later the rear of the stationary car was allegedly struck by a purple Commodore.

Brennan appeared briefly at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday. She was bailed to reappear in the same court on August 2.

The GoFundMe page for Mr Dunlop’s family raised more than $3500 in its first day. To donate visit gofundme. com/2356984c Goya Dmytryshchak

Robust discussion ‘not bullying’

By Adem Saban There is no culture of bullying among Wyndham councillors, an independent external investigation has found.

The findings follow an official complaint late last year by Cr Glenn Goodfellow, that a culture of bullying existed among Wyndham councillors.

Council chief executive Kelly Grigsby said last week that the independent investigator found the complaint was not substantiated. “The investigator found that it was inevitable

there would be challenging discussions among councillors, given contentious issues, alternative viewpoints and the different constituencies and interests they represented,�

Ms Grigsby said. “The finding was that these did not constitute bullying.�

She said the investigator had made recommendations that the councillor code of conduct be further clarified and that training for councillors was required as there was “considerable confusion and misunderstanding as to what constituted bullying�.

‘‘

Am I disappointed in the outcome? Yes and no.

’’

- Glenn Goodfellow

Ms Grigsby said the findings and recommendations would be implemented in full.

Cr Goodfellow said he was glad the investigation was over. “It’s like football,� he said. “The umpire has made the decision and it’s time to move on. Am

I disappointed with the outcome? Yes and no.

It does show that people’s definition of bullying is different ‌ it shows there needs to be a common understanding of what bullying is.�

Cr Goodfellow said he still had questions about the outcome and that he had made his questions known to the chief executive.

He said he would also support Ms Grigsby in the implementation of the recommendations. “I’m happy the CEO has taken these on board and is implementing them,� he said.

Cr Goodfellow will not be re-contesting his seat on council in October’s election.

Back to the future When it comes to Thomas Carr College, Stephen Manitta has seen it all.

The 31-year-old Tarneit resident, who was part of the Thomas Carr class of 2003 – the school’s second-ever graduating class – returned to his old stomping ground as a science and biology teacher in 2009.

This year, he also became a year 10-level co-ordinator.

Mr Manitta had planned on a career in genetic research after completing his biotechnology degree at Deakin University, but all changed when he won a scholarship grant for teaching at Australian Catholic University. “The first thing I thought [when I got the scholarship] was that I’d come back to Thomas Carr and see if I could teach here. “I came back and saw Paul D’Astoli, the principal at the time ‌ he said ‘OK, I can’t guarantee you anything, of course, but come

back and we’ll see how we go’.â€? This year, as the school celebrates its 20th birthday, Mr Manitta has a unique perspective on the school’s growth over the past two decades. “It’s strange because there are some teachers here who taught me when I was a kid, and that was a little bit awkward to start off with ‌ they’re my colleagues now, not my teacher. You get to see a different side to people.â€?

Mr Manitta said the Thomas Carr he remembers as a student was “really small� in comparison to the current campus, which is undergoing a $22 million redevelopment. “We had a handful of portables and just one of the [current] buildings,� he said. “Our science lab was a portable. “It was good, only starting out with year sevens and eights – you sort of knew everyone.�

Budget gives Lalor ‘nothing’

By Adem Saban The federal budget will have an enormous impact on the people of Lalor . . . for all the wrong reasons, according to its Labor MP. Joanne Ryan said almost no voters in her electorate would see any benefit from tax cuts announced in the budget.

The median household income in Werribee is $52,000, and 79.3 per cent of Lalor residents earn less than $80,000.

“This government is giving tax cuts worth thousands to millionaires, while people earning

‘‘

This Prime Minister and Treasurer don’t know - Joanne Ryan Victoria exists

’’

under $80,000 will be getting absolutely zero from this government,” Ms Ryan said.

“On top of that, they have backed in the 2014 cuts to the family tax benefit, which will leave some families in my electorate $4500 worse off.”

Ms Ryan said the budget offered nothing to the electorate in terms of infrastructure.

“It seems this Prime Minister and Treasurer don’t know Victoria exists,” she said.

“I know growers in Werribee South would have woken up to go poring through the documents to see if there was any relief to assist in the funding of the modernisation of the irrigation district. But there was no money.”

On education, Ms Ryan said the government’s announcement of $1.2 billion for schools wasn’t enough.

“This is far from years five and six of Gonski

and far from what was promised in 2013,” she said. “This is incredibly disappointing . . . for everybody who works in education, for every parent in this country who was giving this government an opportunity to keep the promise they made.”

Treasurer Scott Morrison described the budget as “the foundation on which we can build a brighter, more secure future in a stronger, new economy with more jobs”.

The Liberal candidate for Lalor, Gayle Murphy, did not respond to Star Weekly’s request for comment.

She’s known for her big hair, blinged-out wardrobe and tell-it-like-it-is attitude … now Real Housewives of Melbourne’s Gina Liano is adding another string to her bow: jewellery designing. Ms Liano launched the Gina Liano jewellery collection, which is exclusive to Bevilles jewellers, at Pacific Werribee on Friday night. The collection features a range of bold sterling silver pieces with cubic zirconia and coloured stones. The launch caps off a big 12 months for Ms Liano, who made her debut on free-to-air TV in Neighbours and Celebrity Apprentice last year, wrote her autobiography and launched her own perfume.

I

t’s a sad state of affairs when you can no longer feel safe in your own home and, unfortunately, that’s increasingly becoming the norm. Home invasions seem to be the crime du jour, especially if you happen to drive a luxury car.

Gangs are roaming the streets day and night seeking their latest victims. They don’t seem concerned at whether there are people in the house, either, and many of the offenders are young. It appears some of these gangs aren’t satisfied with getting your car or your valuables; they want to humiliate the victim as well, even after people have given up keys or cash and mobiles.

Like me, you will have read and heard many of the stories, which sound like something from a Hollywood movie script. Alas, it’s happening in our city. I know people who go for their daily walk and leave their doors unlocked, something that horrifies me. Mind you, if someone wants to get in, they will. Gone are the days when people would lock doors only at night. Do you feel safe in your home? Have you

increased security around your house in the wake of these attacks? The police appear to be doing as good a job as they can, but they can’t be everywhere.

I’ve never understood the motivation to be part of a gang. A team or a club, yes. A gang, no. It’s difficult for the media because the notoriety seems to fuel the attacks and give the gangs credibility. The media has to report it, but that seems to glamorise it in the eyes of gang members. I’d hate it to get like cities such as Los Angeles, where gangs are well organised.

T

he other form of home invasion, which is not as threatening but very annoying, is telemarketing. They seem to have upped the ante recently and it’s not uncommon for us to receive up to 10 calls in a day. I don’t like the fact that they ask for me by name and often know my home address. I think it’s time the phone companies gave us consumers software to combat this as part of the line rental agreement. I’m on the verge of flicking my home phone and going purely mobile. ■

New help for sex crime victims

By Adem Saban

1226568-RC18-16 10037045-10

No paws for cat rescue A Point Cook cat rescue service will fall into another’s paws after its founder decided to take a seachange.

Leah Singh (pictured) will hand the reins over to foster co-ordinator Rebecca Roberts this month as she prepares to move to Ocean Grove, taking with her foster cats Mia and Pearl.

Ms Singh has been rescuing cats and kittens for the past decade, but she officially started Purrs of Point Cook when she took on a foster carer role in 2014.

She now has about 45 foster carers on her books, mostly from Point Cook, and has re-housed 400 cats in 12 months.

The not-for-profit organisation also fosters and re-houses cats and kittens from the Lost Dogs Home.

Ms Singh said she was pleased with what Purrs of Point Cook had achieved in the past 18 months and was sad to be giving it up.

“It would be too hard for me to do all that from Ocean Grove,” she said. “I’ll always rescue, just not in Point Cook now.”

For more information about Purrs of Point Cook, go to www.purrsofpointcook. com.au

Western suburbs sexual assault victims will soon have a new support hub in Wyndham.

The state government is in the process of establishing a multi-disciplinary centre (MDC) modelled on facilities in Geelong, Mildura, Seaford, Dandenong and Bendigo.

This year’s state budget included $2.9 million for the Wyndham hub.

State government spokesman Kosta Pandos said the centre would provide critical support to vulnerable adults and children who had been victims of sexual assault.

“The centres bring together Victoria Police, child protection and sexual assault counselling services at the one site,” Mr Pandos said.

“The Wyndham project is progressing, with work under way to establish a design and identify a suitable location.”

Victoria Police spokeswoman Sarah-Jane Delaney said the centres were designed to provide the best possible response to survivors of sexual offences and child abuse.

“We have seen some outstanding results [in centres across Victoria],” she said.

“A recent evaluation of MDCs found they resulted in an increase in reporting rates, referrals across support agencies, joint investigations and victims receiving counselling.”

Ms Delaney said this was vital as sexual offences remained one of the most underreported personal crimes in the state and had “devastating impacts” on victims.

The state government did not reveal when the centre would be opened.

Meanwhile, data from the Crime Statistics Agency shows sexual offences reported in Wyndham rose from 188 in 2014 to 193 last year.

Top turns for ‘wild’ talent

By Adem Saban Ronan Keating said her voice was “incredible with so much power”. Jesse James said she “wanted to be a fan”. The Madden brothers described her voice as “unique and wild with a tonne of potential”. And Delta Goodrem said she wanted to turn around from the moment she started singing.

The judges of Channel Nine’s The Voice weren’t talking about an international superstar – they were talking about 19-year-old Werribee singer Elle Murphy.

The former Mackillop College student, who studies voice at the Australian Institute of Music, was blown away when three out of four judges turned around for her in her blind audition as she sang INXS’s The Devil Inside.

Leading up to her appearance, Elle says she was nervous.

“I was preparing myself for none of the judges turning around,” she told Star Weekly.

“I got up on stage and pretended I was in the auditorium at school. I was lost in my performance, then half way through I saw Delta standing up, and I realised where I was and freaked out.”

She soldiered on, delivering a high note and impressing all judges, but selected Goodrem as her coach.

“I’d grown up loving Delta, watching her videos and listening to her music,” she said.

“She’s a spiritual being and I can connect with her, so I went with what I initially wanted.”

Elle’s journey as a singer began at the age of six when she followed in the footsteps of her singing, dancing and acting brother.

“I was hopeless with acting and dancing, but singing stuck with me,” she said.

She cites Joss Stone, Adele and Cloves as artists who inspire her.

Extra surgeons cut waiting list Werribee Mercy Hospital’s elective surgery waiting list shrunk by more than a quarter in the first three months of the year.

The latest Victorian Health Services (VHS) report shows the hospital’s elective surgery waiting list dropped from 755 people at December 31 to 557

by March 31 this year.

Mercy Health chief executive Linda Mellors said the hospital had scheduled additional operating theatre lists and employed an additional orthopaedic surgeon and an ear, nose and throat surgeon to help drive down the number of people on the waiting list.

The report also revealed that the hospital’s emergency department (ED) treated 81 per cent of category two patients in the 2016 March quarter – up from 70 per cent in the previous quarter.

On the flip side, the hospital marginally failed to meet the state government target of treating 75 per cent of category three ED patients – those with moderately severe blood loss, persistent vomiting and dehydration – within 30 minutes.

Dr Mellors said demand for the hospital’s services continued to increase.

“We’re looking forward to the increased facilities, including a critical-care unit, which will come on line in mid-2018 when the $85 million hospital expansion is completed,” she said.

Home invasion planner jailed

By Adem Saban The man behind a failed home invasion in Werribee South will spend at least four years behind bars.

The County Court heard Armando Perri, 65, had known his victim for most of his life and believed the Werribee South market gardener had hundreds of thousands of dollars stashed in a safe at his property.

Perri and co-offenders Stuart Martin and Andrew Phillips planned for Martin to pose as a courier delivering a parcel then raid the house and split the money three ways.

Martin, who did not know the victim, arrived at the home late in the afternoon of August 13, 2013, to be greeted by the victim’s wife. He told her he had a parcel for her husband. When the victim unlocked the door, Martin produced a .22 calibre pistol.

The victim’s wife fled and called triple-0.

When the victim pretended to faint, Martin panicked and fled. The victim then retrieved a shotgun and fired at Martin’s vehicle, driven by Phillips, as they left.

Police intercepted Martin in Werribee later that day.

Martin made a full confession, and told police of Perri’s and Phillips’ involvement. The two were arrested on September 25, 2013.

Martin and Phillips both pleaded guilty at a trial last year, and gave evidence against Perri.

They said Perri had organised the plan and arranged to get the weapon and vehicle.

Phillips was last year put on a three-year community corrections order, while Martin was jailed for a minimum of 16 months.

On Friday, Perri was found guilty on one count of aggravated burglary and sentenced to six years and nine months in prison, with a minimum 4½ years.

Police probe street brawl A 41-year-old man has been released from hospital after a brawl between two men erupted on Watton Street, Werribee, last week.

Acting Sergeant Justin Hunter said the two men, who were known to each other, began fighting on the footpath in front of Raffael’s Cafe about 11.15am last Thursday.

The scene was quickly cordoned off and Wyndham’s Crime Investigation Unit took over the investigation, which is continuing.

Detective Sergeant Dennis Williams said the 41-year-old man was taken to The Alfred hospital with unspecified, non-life threatening, injuries.

He was released from hospital a short time later.

Bystander Vilma Brunato said she spotted two policemen giving the injured man CPR for 15 minutes before paramedics arrived.

Meanwhile, a 25-year-old Laverton man was arrested at the scene and released later that afternoon following questioning.

Police cordoned off the scene where a street fight took place last week. (Charlene Macaulay)

Soundtrack of his life When Point Cook’s Chee-Wei Tay was growing up in Singapore, his parents wanted him to be a doctor or an engineer.

He rebelled with dreams of chasing a career in music, and it’s all paying off.

Chee-Wei, now a successful composer, has been awarded the Gold Remi Award for Best Music Score at WorldFest Houston – an international film and video festival in America – for his work on Singaporean horror flick Bring Back the Dead. It’s the second consecutive year he has won a Remi.

“From a young age, I was mesmerised while watching movies and seeing how the score actually helps the story,” he said.

Each job requires him to get in the mind of his director, understanding their vision for each character and the story.

“This is the hardest part,” he said. “Watching the film without music is quite dry then I discuss with the director what goes from there.”

Like any creative job, Chee-Wei often suffers from stress of deadlines and mental block.

He meditates to clear his mind. The finished product, he says, makes it all worthwhile.

“It’s great when the director says they like your work, but it’s even better when the audience also says it. That’s a great feeling.”

Today, with a number of international awards under his belt, Chee-Wei says his parents have changed their mind about his chosen career.

“Ironically, yes, they’re now very proud of me,” he laughs. To check out Chee-Wei’s work, head to www.cheeweitay.com Adem Saban

Ryan faces Lib, Greens hopefuls

By Adem Saban

JOANNE RYAN

GAYLE MURPHY

(Picture: iStock. Headshots: supplied)

Voters in Lalor, the federal electorate covering all of Wyndham and sections of Hobsons Bay, will have options from all three major parties when they go to the polls on July 2.

Incumbent MP, Labor’s Joanne Ryan has held the seat since the 2013 election when she took over from former prime minister Julia Gillard.

Ms Ryan, a Werribee local who’s a former school teacher and principal, suffered a 10 per cent swing against her in the last election.

The Liberals and Greens would need a swing of 12.16 per cent to win the seat.

Created in 1949, the Lalor electorate has only ever been held once by a non-Labor MP. That was from 1966-69 when the representative was Liberals’ Mervyn Lee. Running against Ms Ryan this year are the Liberals’ Gayle Murphy and Greens’ Daniel Sova.

Neither candidate accepted Star Weekly’s request for an interview.

Ms Murphy’s campaign website describes her as a small business owner who has lived in the Wyndham area for 15 years. Listing the electorate’s mix of agriculture, new housing and business development as its strengths, Ms Murphy says she believes they can be built upon to create opportunity.

The website says the Liberal candidate believes the community has been taken for granted by Labor and pledges she will be the “strong voice and real action local families deserve”.

Mr Sova’s campaign website says the candidate grew up in the west, where he’s raising a young family with his partner. He’s a company director who co-founded several companies in the telecommunications and IT industries. The website says he sees challenges caused by lack of infrastructure and service provision, while housing affordability, infrastructure funding, public transport and job creation are issues he’s passionate about.

Croc park stakes claim Could Point Cook have the best playground in Australia?

Saltwater Coast Crocodile Park is in the running for an Australia’s Best Playground award in a competition run by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects.

The park, which was officially opened last October as part of a $5.5 million wetlands upgrade at the Saltwater Coast development in Point Cook, includes a variety of custom-designed forts, sand buckets, pulleys, bells, rope bridges and swings.

The playground’s centrepiece is a 50-metre-long water course that weaves through the play space, with water springing from the mouth of a bronze plate and stainless-steel crocodile.

The design for the playground was inspired by the Roald Dahl story The Enormous Crocodile in which a crocodile lives in a playground pretending to be a friendly seesaw before gobbling children for dinner.

The playground is one of 45 around the nation nominated for the award, with the winner to be decided by public vote and a judging panel and announced on May 24.

Colin Greaves, of Aveo, the developers of Saltwater Coast, said the playground was designed to be both fun and functional.

“For Saltwater Coast and the community, it’s great,” Mr Greaves said. “[The nomination] is a tick of approval.”

Sale of community centre touted

By Charlene Macaulay A Hoppers Crossing community centre has been identified as an under-utilised Wyndham council asset that would benefit from private-sector investment.

Property advocacy group the Property Council of Australia earmarked the Central Park Community Centre and carpark as one of 101 local government assets in Victoria that could be sold to the private sector to help rejuvenate neighbourhoods and improve local community services.

The centre in Lonsdale Circuit has three activity rooms that can be hired for functions

such as dances, meetings, exercise classes and seminars.

Asher Judah, deputy executive director (Victoria) of the property council, said the Lonsdale Circuit site was identified in the council’s Hidden in Plain Site report as ideal for private sector investment based on its proximity to public transport, retail amenity and the local industrial belt. “[This] suggests good potential for job creation,” Mr Judah said. “There’s also a park next to the site, which offers quality open space. Our report shows this site has higher potential for redevelopment and repurposing, primarily based on its size and location.

‘‘

It could be very useful … in unlocking capital

’’

- Asher Judah

“This can take a number of forms, some of which include community uses. While we don’t advocate a particular development outcome, our intention is for this site to be recognised by the council in its strategic planning and discussions with the private sector. It could be very useful to the community in unlocking capital for infrastructure investment.

“The final decision will rest with [Wyndham] council,” Mr Judah said.

The property council report was released two months after Wyndham council asked for expressions of interest for three carparks in Werribee CBD with a view to attracting private sector interest in developing new roles for the sites.

The property council’s Jennifer Cunich said there was opportunity across the state to unlock sites for infrastructure development and renewal. “At a time when local governments face increased financial pressure from rising costs, our report offers a pathway to unlocking unrealised capital.”

Hoedown at Saltwater A whole lot of rootin’, tootin’ country-and-western fun will be the order of the day when the Laverton Point Cook Rotary Club takes over Saltwater Community Centre early next month.

Event organiser Chris Egger says the fundraiser will support the club’s international humanitarian efforts.

“Our club is involved in a variety of projects to improve the health and wellbeing of others – both here and abroad – with a focus on youth development and protection,” he said.

“Key recent projects have included construction of a new sensory garden at a respite house for families of special-needs children in Werribee.”

The club is also funding a major construction project at the Open Hand Children’s Home in Kenya. Mr Egger says the home residents rescue

newborn children who have been abandoned by their parents.

“The purpose of this country and western night is to improve community awareness of our club and raise funds to support the next stage of the Open Hand Children’s Home project, the club’s youth exchange project, and local school scholarships,” Mr Egger said.

The June 4 event will feature entertainment by country performers Billy Briggs and Rebecca Lee Nye, with an award up for grabs for the best costume.

Gala puts footballers in the pink

By Charlene Macaulay

Scott Harris, John Crennan, Judith Higgs, Lynda Ferguson and Ambrose Faure. (Damjan Janevski)

Werribee Masters Football Club players will take to the ground with their wives, mothers, daughters and other important women in mind this weekend in a special Pink Ladies Day event.

The club will host four games this Sunday and run a cupcake stall, raffles and kids activities, with money raised going to the Breast Cancer Network Australia.

Organiser Ambrose Faure hopes to raise about $1500. He’s no stranger to breast cancer, with both his mother-in-law, Lynda

Ferguson, and aunt, Judith Higgs, battling the disease in recent years.

Ms Ferguson, now 64, was diagnosed with breast cancer in November, 2012 when a routine mammogram detected a three-centimetre lump.

She had surgery to remove it soon after and underwent chemotherapy and radiation before getting the all-clear.

“It pays to have your regular mammograms, especially when you’re over 50,” she said.

Ms Higgs, now 58, had a history of cysts and thought nothing at first of the new lump she felt growing on one of her breasts.

When the lump was discovered to be cancerous in November, 2013, she underwent a single mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.

Mr Faure said he had been overwhelmed by the community’s support for the football club event, which he hopes to turn into an annual fundraiser.

The Werribee Masters Football Club Pink Ladies Day is this Sunday from 9.45am at Wyndham Vale North Reserve, Honour Avenue, Wyndham Vale.

A swag of good deeds about the people who live in a whole different world to us through presentations from West Welcome Wagon, Salvation Army and Swags for the Homeless.”

Teacher David Simpson said the students raised more than $3200 and collected enough toiletries to fill 78 bags.

“This blew away our expectations and we couldn’t be prouder of our students,” Mr Simpson said.

They’re the bare necessities of life that most of us don’t think twice about – but when you’re homeless, a warm bed and toiletries are not easy to come by.

Year 9 students at Point Cook P-9 College have spent the past month helping the homeless through two charity campaigns, Swags for the Homeless and Handbags for Hope.

College captains Riarn and Jemi said students hosted charity dodgeball games, a sausage sizzle and rattled tins to raise money to buy roll-out backpack beds.

The school also accepted toiletry donations.

“We learnt a lot of life skills from this project that could help us later in life, the types of skills and understandings that can’t always be learnt working off a worksheet,” Riarn said.

Jemi added: “We were able to appreciate and enjoy the blessings that came while helping others. We were humbled as we learnt

MY WYNDHAM

Brought to you by

A different approach to ageing

John Said started out with a career in aviation before joining the family business and becoming the chief executive of Fresh Select, which supplies vegetables to local and overseas markets. The 51-year-old talks to Charlene Macaulay.

I have three daughters – twins who are 27 years old, and our youngest, who is 23 years old. One of them is working in London as a marketing executive for Amex, her twin sister works for Mecca Cosmetics here in Melbourne and our youngest is an advertising executive for a fairly large company in Melbourne.

I’ve been married to my wife Sandra for nearly 30 years. We met through an introduction. She was fooling around with me, trying to say that she was out with some girlfriends on a hen’s night, and she showed me this engagement ring and I was really cocky and said “if that’s the kind of ring you’ve got, that person’s not worth marrying”, so that was a bit of a laugh. Here we are today, nearly 30 years on, and it’s good. It’s really good.

Tell me the Fresh Select story.

My wife’s family have always been in retail, they’ve been selling groceries for three generations. When I met Sandra, I was an aircraft maintenance engineer, but going to the market with her brother and getting a feel for what was going on was quite a buzz. I loved that whole sense of trade, and the interesting dynamics of getting up early in the morning, getting out there, fighting for your food, coming home and selling it.

There was a discussion after we were married that I could join the family business, so I did.

Through travelling overseas and understanding what the global market was, I soon realised that innovation was key. Our

first breakthrough in innovation happened 20 years ago, and it was simply bagging iceberg lettuce. Coles were interested … we started with 24 boxes of lettuce with them, today we do in the vicinity of 20,000 boxes a week with them.

What was behind the decision to base the business in Werribee South?

Werribee South was actually home to the two families; I lived here, so did my business partner. Werribee was, and still is, the salad bowl of Australia. The fertile soils that we have here are just amazing for growing produce.

You recently starred in some Coles and My Kitchen Rules TV advertisements. How did you find that experience?

The experience was good fun, and they were very patient. We made a thousand mistakes – acting is not easy!

Do you cook? What’s your signature dish?

I love cooking, cooking’s become somewhat of a passion. I guess I’m a self-confessed risotto fan – I love cooking a truffle risotto that I serve in a wheel of parmagiana cheese, it’s just divine.

Do you have a favourite vegetable?

It’s obviously broccoli, and cauliflower is a very close second. In fact, to be fair to cauliflower, it’s probably in no particular order.

The daily flights in and out of the Laverton RAAF base will be brought to a halt later this year following a federal government order. The government has ordered the base’s research and development unit to transfer to Edinburgh in South Australia.

The unit and its 19 aircraft runs an average of between 10 and 15 flights from Laverton each day.

Teenagers getting drunk and collapsing or vomiting at Werribee’s Blue Light Disco could mean the end of such discos in the town. The 15 and 16-year-olds either drink before the disco opens or smuggle in flasks of spirits despite increasing spot checks on handbags. One youngster recently drank a flask of vodka minutes before he entered the disco at Centenary Hall.

Wyndham council denies residents’ claims it has taken a neutral stance on the waste plant proposed for Wests Road, Werribee.

Wyndham chief commissioner Bernie Knight, defending a council decision not to comment on the CSR Limited proposal, said council needed more information before it could pass judgement.

ABC Developmental Learning Centres last week lost an appeal against a finding that it breached the Children’s Services Act after a child went missing from its Hoppers Crossing facility. An ABC spokesman said that the result was disappointing and the company would be reviewing the decision.

The appeal in the Victorian Supreme Court, related to the incident in which a two-year-old scaled a fence and escaped the Barber Drive centre in 2003.

The mother load M

adeleine West has given us some time today, which is no small thing, given she is an actor (famously playing Danielle McGuire in Underbelly Underbelly), writer and … did I mention she has six children under the age of eight?

Did that sentence make you feel tired? Or just awed? Who has six children these days?

The answer is someone who had four children and then in 2014 found herself pregnant with twins. “They were a lovely little surprise,” Madeleine says, smiling.

Did it ever cross her mind to have six? “I didn’t really ever consider having children.

They weren’t necessarily on the horizon. And they kept coming.”

How did she feel on hearing news of twins?

“My jaw dropped and fell on the floor. I immediately thought, ‘How am I going to fit more seats in the car?’”

Madeleine, 38, has now written a book, Six Under Eight, a funny, thoughtful and wise journal that takes us into the joyful and sometimes chaotic world she shares with her husband, chef Shannon Bennett, and their tribe who now range in age from 10 years old to 15 months. She writes about “the stares in the supermarket car park as I unload one after another, like clowns unfolding from a Mini Minor” and “roasting two whole chickens for dinner, potentially three”.

“I like jotting down my thoughts,” she says of the book’s genesis. “I found when I was pregnant with my twins, I couldn’t sleep and I would spend my nights roaming the

house.” She started writing anecdotes about motherhood, not realising there was a book in it. “[It was] for myself, to be able to look back: ‘Remember when that happened?’”

The book is a mix of stories from home and notes on parenting. “I’m certainly not an expert, but I’ve had six kids so I’ve had a fair bit of experience at what kids go through at different stages.”

How does she manage it all? “It’s human nature. Once that little person comes into your world, you’ll find you’re able to juggle all sorts of things.

“I’m surprised I manage to fit in everything I want to do in that one day – if I stay focused.

That means sometimes I’ll get to the end of that day and say, ‘I haven’t sat down and I’ve eaten nothing but a bag of Jatz all day’.” Lists help her through, she says.

“Every morning I set the alarm 15 minutes early so I have 15 minutes of quiet time to focus and write my list of goals for the day. It can be something as simple as labelling a kid’s uniform with something that won’t wash off.

“I keep several lists running around the house, whether it’s what I need to get from the supermarket, what I need to do in the day, what my long-term goals are, what holidays we’d like to take one day. And they are dotted all around the house. Walls, desks – a montage of lists.”

Madeleine grew up in Woodend, north of Melbourne. She was an exceptional student with a hunger to act.

“I always wanted to be an actor. Acting, art or writing.”

Finishing school with excellent marks, she “didn’t want to waste them” so she studied law.

“As much as I knew acting was always going to be my end goal, I thought I’d really like to do something that will give me the opportunity to earn money while I’m chasing this illusory entertainment career.”

In her third year at university she scored a role on Neighbours playing Dee Bliss. She deferred the law degree. After three years she left the series in dramatic fashion: “Dee got married, fell off a cliff, got washed out to sea and was never seen again,” Madeleine says.

She had felt in a rut on Neighbours so she went to Los Angeles and did some stand-up comedy. “I thought, ‘I really need to scare myself again’. And the scariest thing I could think of was going up on stage as myself and laying myself bare and saying, ‘Here I am, tearing myself open, please laugh’.”

In 2000 she met Shannon Bennett at a function for Jamie Oliver, who was visiting Australia. She was a vegetarian until Shannon “encouraged her back into the world of meat”.

They shared a cab home from the event.

In 2002, while standing on the pavement on Sydney’s Oxford Street on a rainy evening, Madeleine was hit by a bus. She suffered a brain haemorrhage and a fractured skull.

“I was thrown quite a distance, landed on my face and skidded along the ground,” she says. “Apart from breaking a bunch of teeth and blowing out all the blood vessels in my eyes, I had a massive scab and big scar. When the doctors let me see myself in the mirror for the first time, my immediate thought was, ‘My acting career is over’.

“It was two sex workers who found me and helped … and then they disappeared into the night..”

In 2008 Madeleine shone in a breakthrough role as underworld figure Tony Mokbel’s girlfriend Danielle McGuire in Underbelly Underbelly. “I

got what I like to think were my first acting plaudits,” she says. “People were able to appreciate that I was capable of more than playing the blonde nymphet with a big smile who’s wearing a bikini for no particular reason.”

‘‘

I didn’t consider having children.

They weren’t on the horizon. And they kept coming

’’

- Madeleine West She has since taken on other gritty roles, playing a sex worker in Foxtel’s ’s Satisfaction and an ice addict in Seven’s City Homicide. Later this year she will star in Channel Ten’s much anticipated new drama The Wrong Girl, alongside Jessica Marais, Craig McLachlan and Hamish Blake.

M

adeleine’s book is full of the joy and laughter of family – “My daughter was drinking from the dog’s bowl with a curly straw … is that a problem?” – but there are also shocking and frightening moments.

Their seven-year-old daughter slipped over the second-storey balustrade of their home and fell

eight metres on to the hardwood floor. She was “sprawled on the floor gasping and contorting”.

“When you enter parenthood, you can be surprised at what you are capable of,” Madeleine says. “I appreciate those stories of women who lift entire cars for their toddler.

You suddenly find reservoirs of strength and focus you didn’t realise you had. You comprehend how fragile life is. We take our life for granted.

“That first night in hospital all I could think about was my daughter, the second night I was thinking about every child on the ward, third night I was thinking about all the kids in the world and what they go through. It opens your perspective.”

It’s a challenge to juggle parenthood and her acting career. “My perspective on my purpose in being an actor has changed. I love it and it’s my passion.

I like to think that I’ve become a storyteller. I love telling stories to my children. And I like to think I’m putting work out there that they will be proud of one day.”

She says parenting has not only made her a better person, but also a better performer “because I finally comprehend empathy …

There’s no time for navel-gazing.

You get a world perspective”.

“Parenting is a responsibility, not just to get through the mundane chores of the day but to teach the leaders of tomorrow. If we can teach them generosity and patience and

NEWS

kindness more than anything, then we’re well on the way.”

She also cautions parents to look after themselves. “The greatest thing as a parent you can do for yourself is to be kind to yourself and not expect that you’re always going to get it right. There is no one formula for parenting. … Listen to your heart and listen to your children and you’re going to go a long way.”

I ask how she and Shannon manage when he is busy running his restaurants, (the three-hatted Vue de Monde, Bistro Vue and Cafe Vue in the city, Heide and Melbourne Airport, Jardin Tan at the Botanic Gardens, and the Burnham Beeches property in the Dandenongs) as well as writing cookbooks and television appearances.

“We’ve slipped into a comfortable routine,” says Madeleine. “Shannon is essentially supporting the lifestyle that we live with his work. He has an enormous amount of stress on his shoulders so wherever I can support him I do, and if that means that I’m the one who’s making the beds and the school lunches, that’s fine. He then supports me when I have opportunities to go back into work.

Reflecting on the dynamic of a large family, she says: “I hope that one advantage of being one of so many is that the children never grow up with a sense of entitlement because they are always going to have to share and think about the other person. And I like to think that sets them up well for life.”

How to help your itchy pet Skin disease is such a prevalent problem in both dogs and cats and can be very frustrating for the pet, their owner and the vet.

Listening, caring and providing choices

Itchy skin can often be due to an underlying allergy with a secondary infection from the pets scratching and licking, making the itch even worse.

We welcome the opportunity to serve all your pet’s needs including medical, surgical, grooming, puppy parties and behavioural problems.

GOING AWAY? Our pet resort is now open!

Inspections welcome.

The most common allergy we see by far in pets is flea bite allergy. Dogs can chew at their rump and inner thighs for weeks following a single flea bite, while cats tend to over-groom or get small scabs on the skin under their coat.

An ideal treatment for fleas is a new three-month chew for dogs or a monthly topical spot-on for cats. Be sure to treat every pet in the family and don’t miss a dose.

Another cause of itching is atopy, a term for allergies to environmental factors such as pollens, grasses and dust mites. Signs of atophy include pets licking their feet, rubbing their abdomen and armpits and scratching their ears. An option for younger pets is to have a veterinary dermatologist perform skin testing to confirm the allergen and develop a vaccine.

Alternatively, treatment with antibiotics, shampoos and anti-itch drugs can be prescribed by your vet to make your pet more comfortable.

Food allergy can also occur in pets and has very similar symptoms to atopy. Feeding a special hypoallergenic diet can improve affected pets.

We’ll care for your pet as much as you do.

Contact Leanne on 0417 180 139

Your vet may also diagnose other causes of itch besides allergies. Primary bacterial or fungal infections can affect the skin including the feet and ears. Hair loss due to mange is common in young puppies, while ringworm, a type of fungus, can spread to new kittens as well as their owners.

MacKillop College Celebrating all life. Challenging all people.

Dreaming the new day. This is the vision that helps MacKillop Catholic Regional College open its doors to invite the community to jointly live out our Gospel values. It then aims to help students realise their potential in school and ultimately in their lives.

Established in 1970 with an initial enrolment of 102 girls, MacKillop is a Catholic Co-educational Secondary College named after Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop, co-founder of the congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart.

Since then, the College has educated a large portion of the Catholic Community and is proud of its current status.

Principal, Rory Kennedy, says the College is committed to each student’s intellectual,

emotional, spiritual, physical and psychological growth by fostering leadership and empowering them as faith filled, discerning citizens of its school community.

“With a comprehensive and well-balanced curriculum, programs have been designed to prepare students with the tools and skills needed to effectively problem solve, research and channel inner creation,” continues Mr Kennedy.

“Our curriculum incorporates intensive learning within a positive, dynamic and adaptive learning and teaching environment.

This promotes a culture of enquiry and the creative exploration of ideas.

Stimulated by innovative, challenging and collaborative lessons, students from Year 7 to 10 study subjects across all learning areas

including, Religious Education, Creative and Performing Arts, Design and Technology, English, Health and Physical Education, Humanities, Digital Technologies, Languages, Mathematics and Science. Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 have the option of choosing their subjects from VCE and/or VET courses. Senior pathways offered at the College include VCAL and VCE. MacKillop endeavours to provide outstanding education that integrates faith, life and culture and Mr Kennedy emphasises that our actions strive to ensure that the College’s leadership remains true to the mission of the Church.

Truganina College

Thomas Carr College Incorporating an appreciation of the spirit into the intellectual and physical aspects of learning, Thomas Carr College educates students with an international focus and Catholic dimension.

The College has just celebrated the one-year anniversary of its $3 million state-of-the-art trade training centre.

The centre incorporates a large workshop area for carpentry, furniture making and bricklaying courses, as well as a learning lab.

Principal Dr Andrew Watson is proud of the centre which offers Certificate I and II in building and construction and pre-apprentice courses.

“Many visitors to the college have commented that it is one of the most impressive trade training centres for building and construction they have seen,” he says.

Trade training centre manager Peter McCarthy says it’s the centre’s combination of

design, openness and student contribution that makes it a great accomplishment.

“Second year students completed the construction of work benches that will be used for years to come,” he says.

Mr McCarthy says it was rewarding to see students continue to grow and build upon pre-existing skills.

“All students are supported by dedicated teaching staff and surrounded by the community spirit and we have the tools to help equip students for life after school.”

And there’s still plenty to come, with a $22 million capital development on the cards incorporating a performing arts centre, gym extension and administration refurbishment.

Very few prep students in Victoria get to carry out experiments in a science lab every week, but Truganina College is different.

For starters, the school, which opened just 15 months ago, has Jenny Crowle as principal.

She has a focus on a student-centred approach based on the idea of ‘learning to ‘learn’, so after being inspired by molecular biologist Suzanne Corey at a speaking event, it wasn’t long before the littlest students were in the school’s lab.

“I hope,” Ms Crowle says, “the school’s focus on science reverses the trend of students abandoning science in their final years of high school and inspires the next generation of biologists, physicists and biochemists. It’s exciting.”

Another important string is being added to the school’s already long bow. Senior school assistant principal Steven Trotter is overseeing the introduction of scholarships for years 7 and 8 students next year.

“The students have the chance to sit the Higher Abilities Selection Test at the college on Friday, May 20,” Mr Trotter explains.

“Data from the testing will then be used to determine the top-performing students and scholarships will be offered accordingly.”

The scholarships support the school’s aim of providing a culture of high expectations and focuses on strong learning growth for every student.

“The learning environment allows students to make decisions about their learning,” Mr Trotter says.

“Great learning environments create these opportunities by making learners responsible for their choices and empowering them with the spaces and options that can make those choices work. Student input into decision-making continues to occur.”

Effective 21st century-style approaches are used across all curriculum areas, with a specific focus on literacy and numeracy.

High-quality programs ensure breadth

and depth in all curriculum areas, with staff focusing on students’ individual needs.

“Positive relationships, security, a sense of belonging and a culture of respect and pride undergird everything our school does,” Ms Crowle declares with conviction.

Closing the gap between school, university and work-life, Wyndham Central College is on a mission to prepare students for life after year 12 and achieve success both at school and in society.

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), is a teaching system that has been part of the US curriculum for 30 years, preparing and providing students with the academic tools needed for university.

Concetta Faranda, AVID learning teacher at Wyndham Central College, said the program was a university readiness system, teaching students to think critically and develop their reading and writing skills.

“AVID is a researched-based instructional model for effective teaching that accelerates student learning,” Mrs Faranda said.

“AVID is designed to increase school-wide learning and performance.

“Improving critical reading and thinking during the school years enables students to break down texts, deepening understanding.

At all year levels AVID is aimed at explicitly teaching skills and strategies that will support and enhance student learning at secondary school that can then be used in post-secondary studies and beyond.”

AVID is underpinned by the WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organisation and Reading) teaching model and taught by AVID-trained teachers. It is undertaken by all students schoolwide from year seven to year 12, and students in year nine to year 12 are offered additional support through AVID tutorology as an elective.

Students in year nine to 12 with academic potential who show individual determination to succeed are eligible to apply for the AVID elective.

“In the AVID elective, our partnership with the Victoria University enables tertiary students to facilitate small group tutorials, supporting students to expand their knowledge

and understanding of rigorous concepts and text,” Mrs Faranda said.

“Statistics have found that students who undertook AVID for three or more years have tripled their success rate of entering

and completing a university program.

Resolving problems, thriving on discussion and helping passive learners become active and independent learners are all part of the AVID program.”

With its distinctive Tudor-style façade trappings, this owner-built residence is a bit of a landmark in the street, a distinction it shares with Cambridge Primary School, widely considered one of the region’s top schools. And, piling on the appeal of the Cambridge estate address, the property backs onto a permanent reserve (cricket grounds, tennis club), with Werribee Plaza on the other side of the grassy expanse.

The house has a floor plan designed with flexibility in mind. The salient example of this are two rooms that flank the glossily

Three more bedrooms are upstairs, as are a large, carpeted living room, the main bathroom with clawfoot tub, and a powder room.

Through double doors, the extra-big main bedroom has a bay window framing views of the reserve, along with walk-in wardrobe and spacious en suite with corner tub, a

Tassie oak vanity unit with twin basins, and an enclosed toilet.

An open, carpeted lounge room couples with a family-meals area to make the living zone count reach an always-desirable three.

High-quality floating hardwood boards line the entire living hub which incorporates a kitchen with unfillable Tassie oak cupboards, black granite benches, an island servery bar, corner pantry, dishwasher, wall oven and gas cooktop.

Selling up – the first decision is choosing the right real estate agent Five top tips for finding the best real estate agent to sell your house: • Get a selection of appraisals Asking for several appraisals can help you understand where your house stands in the market, and also can reassure you that your agent isn’t just trying to get your listing.

Don’t automatically accept the agent who comes in with the highest estimate.

If the price is out of the ball park, your house could languish on the market.

Also, remember to ask each agent for an explanation of how they arrived at their particular price estimate.

• Choose an agent with local presence and knowledge The internet allows agents to list properties far outside their turf, but there’s nothing like boots-on-the-ground knowledge to effectively market your house.

• Know what you’re up for in costs In Victoria, agents’ commissions generally fall within 1.6 to three per cent, with the average around 2.14 per cent.

This means that the sale of a $500,000 property will have commission to pay of $10,700, the third lowest in the country.

Vendors are often being asked to foot the bill for their home’s marketing campaign – a cost that is separate from commission. You need to work out which agent will deliver the most bang for your advertising buck.

• Listen to your agent’s advice Take advantage of your agent’s knowledge and agree on how often your agent will report back to you with the results of

Word of mouth is the best recommendation for choosing the right real estate agent to sell your property.

record and someone who genuinely working for you, is to speak to others about their experiences, good and bad.

“YOUR FOOTBALL CLUB”

Tigers shellshocked

By Lance Jenkinson This was not Werribee Tigers football.

It was so far off the script that it was cringe-worthy.

The Tigers let their faithful down on Saturday night, not only losing to defending premiers Williamstown by 74 points in their VFL home opener at Avalon Airport Oval, but doing so in an embarrassing fashion.

It let the tyres down on what was supposed to be a special night for the previously undefeated Tigers, testing themselves against an in-form western suburbs rival under lights at Avalon Airport Oval for the first time this season and on the back of a stirring win by the development league team.

“It was a bleak old day,” Tigers coach John Lamont told Star Weekly Weekly. “When you’re 98 points down at three-quarter time, it says a lot.”

Werribee offered no indication of the carnage that would follow.

The Tigers had played with spirit over the opening month, winning the first three games on the road.

Lamont was confident in his side’s preparation and it began the game promisingly with the first goal.

Then in 15 minutes of fury, Williamstown grabbed the game by the throat, producing a barrage of goals to lead by an incredible 60 points at quarter-time.

It was part of a stretch of 14 unanswered goals for the Seagulls, leaving the Werribee players shellshocked.

“We certainly wouldn’t have predicted it before the game; the feeling was good,” Lamont said.

“Our lack of response [to the onslaught] was the concern. All credit to Williamstown, they were right on the job and way too good

for us. Getting beaten in games of footy is normal, but it’s how you get beaten.

“We didn’t see a lot of change; we lost the initiative and we didn’t look to get too much of it back.

“We couldn’t change the momentum of the game.

“All around the ground we just got beaten and at one stage it was 20 goals to four.”

Majak Daw, with four goals, Will Fordham and Matt Hanson broke even with their opponents.

Aaron Black added four goals, while Tom Gribble tried hard. Otherwise it was slim pickings for the Tigers.

The replay is not going to make for comfortable watching for the Tigers, but it will be a necessary tool for Lamont and his players to right the wrongs ahead of a huge clash with Box Hill Hawks at home on Sunday.

“It was just a footy lesson,” Lamont said.

“It’s back to the drawing board sort of stuff.

“We didn’t do much of a debrief on the game because it’s all a bit emotive, as you could imagine, so we’ll have a good chat about this week, have a look at some vision and find out why it happened.

“We’re going to find out what they’re made of [against Box Hill].

“It will be very interesting to see how they react.”

Werribee coach John Lamont is seeking an immediate reaction from his team after Saturday’s humiliating loss to Williamstown.

(Damjan Janevski)

Celebrating the Past and Creating the Future In the grand scheme of football history the Werribee Football Club is a baby, born in 1965. While we only have just over half century of history, we boast a past as colourful as anyone else in the competition. From those early playing days came club legends like David Lyons and Kerryn O’Brien. Mike Sheehan was kicking a footy around Chirnside Park and writing about it for the Banner at the same time. Star players emerged in Ralph Turner and the Henry’s- Button and Ogilvie The club battled on and off the field but survived.

The seventies was a barren period in terms of on field success, but it produced club champions like John Comben, Kevin Leece and off field stalwarts like the late Ray Smith, Dennis Dove and Eddie Marriott. Each year and each past player and official has a story to tell about their part in the history of the football club. This Sunday all are invited to come to Avalon Airport Oval at Chirnside Park and relive those memories. Sadly we have lost many great servants of the club since our last Past Players and Officials Day. Last week Neil Gillett a member of the inaugural senior team of 1965 passed away. ‘Hot Dog’ as he was affectionately known, was renowned as a raking kick of the footy, delighting the crowd and his team mates with massive torpedoes from the backline that blasted well past the centre. Neil played 76 games for the club in the first five years of our existence. Vale Neil Gillett. The 2016 Tigers take on Box Hill on Sunday at 11.40 am. If you are part of the history be there to cheer the boys on, if you aren’t, come and be part of the future.

SPORT Tigers fall short in grand final revenge bid Werribee Districts fell just short on its grand final re-match revenge mission, losing to three-time defending champions Deer Park by 31 points at John McLeod Oval on Saturday.

The Tigers showed no mental scars from their humiliating 136-point loss to Deer Park in last year’s grand final as they went into the three-quarter time huddle with a five-point lead. But Deer Park was just too good in the end, banging on seven goals to one in the last quarter to improve to 4-1, while the Tigers fell to 3-2.

At one point in the match, Werribee Districts led by four goals. But wayward kicking –

turning just seven of 23 scoring shots into goals – proved costly.

The Tigers will have plenty of time to mull over the loss with their first bye coming up this weekend.

In division 2, Glenorden beat up on the struggling West Footscray by 180 points to move into the top four.

Josh Macdonald and Jonathan Miller booted six goals apiece as the Hawks won 32.19 (211)-4.7 (31).

Manor Lakes was on the receiving end of a 167-point flogging from North Footscray, 32.20 (212)-7.3 (45).

A clear gulf is opening up between the top four and bottom four in the second tier, and the Storm is second-last on the ladder.

In division 3, Wyndham Suns overcame a stern examination from Laverton to win 15.12 (102)-10.11 (71) after trailing at both quarter-time and three-quarter time.

Tarneit continued on its merry way with a 21.13 (139)-6.6 (42) win over Sunshine Heights to remain the division’s only unbeaten team.

Sanctuary Lakes fell one place to third after a 17.17 (119)-10.7 (67) loss to Newport Power.

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Like

most Bulldogs fans I’m not fond of the Adelaide Crows. Yes, it’s all about 1997 and 1998 and, no, I haven’t got over it and probably never will. Last year they did it to the red, white and blue once again in the elimination final. Mind you, that was the best game of football I saw last year and I know many purists of the game agree. Last Saturday night’s game appeared to be going the same way halfway through the last quarter, but this time the Bulldogs rose to the occasion and took the four points.

Who knows if it turns out to be a season-defining win. One thing I do know is that it was brilliant to watch.

The Doggies take on the rejuvenated Melbourne this Sunday in what is the match of the round. Who would have thought that eight weeks ago?

■ In

contrast to a match which went down to the wire, Williamstown handed Werribee a VFL lesson on Saturday and had the points in the bag by quarter-time. The reigning premiers were brilliant – quick, slick and hard at it – and after conceding a goal in the first 30 seconds had the next 16 scoring shots. The 10-goal quartertime lead shut the gate on Werribee and while it was the Tigers’ first loss of the season, it was so demoralising it will take mental toughness to take on the other 2015 grand finalist, Box Hill Hawks, at Avalon Airport Oval from 11.40am on Sunday. It’s past players’ and officials’ day and will be on Channel 7.

Falcons fall from nest

weeks ago I ran into Steve and Karen Macpherson in the Bulldogs’ past players’ room at Etihad. I interviewed Steve on stage and he spoke about their son, Darcy, and how he was going at the Gold Coast Suns.

This week Darcy made his AFL debut and if you haven’t seen the video of him ringing Steve and Karen to tell them of his selection, check it out on the Suns’ website; it’s priceless. Footy fans love stuff like this because it brings a very corporatised sport back to basics, in this case an excited young man ringing Mum and Dad to share a special moment.

Wyndhamvale can accept losing to a slick Hoppers Crossing unit in division 1 of the Western Region Football League.

What Falcons coach Troy Beamond can’t swallow is his side’s effort falling away dramatically when the going gets tough.

The newly promoted Falcons were lauded for their competitiveness in their opening two games. But when they took up the challenge to more highly fancied opposition, they were outclassed.

Worrying signs have shown up in the past fortnight, and Beamond wants them nipped in the bud as soon as possible.

“We played Albion and Werribee Districts in the first two weeks and walked off the ground defeated but really proud of the effort,” Beamond told Star Weekly.

“But [against St Albans] last week, the effort sort of fell away after half-time, and against Hoppers Crossing the second quarter let us down badly.”

Wyndhamvale’s Achilles heel is its lack of depth.

The Falcons’ loss of a handful of important players to opposition clubs in the off-season has been compounded by early injuries to key 72 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 11, 2016

players. So unlucky have the Falcons been in the latter department that Noa Fonua stepped on a football at an Auskick training session on Friday night and was ruled out of the derby with Hoppers Crossing.

Beamond is not using the Falcons’ bad luck as an excuse for the 18.15 (123)-2.4 (16) loss to Hoppers Crossing at home on Saturday.

“We’ve shown each game that we can play good quarters, whether it’s two or three quarters, but we can’t string together a full game,” the coach laments.

“In saying that, the way Hoppers moved the ball, their run and carry, particularly from behind, was first-class. They were definitely a step ahead of us.”

A quick remedy to the Falcons’ mess is getting each of the 22 players to make a meaningful contribution.

Too much of the workload has been placed on a handful of stars in the past fortnight. They need assistance, and fast.

“I feel too many players are looking to three or four players to step up to try to halt the momentum, so we’re relying too much on too few,” Beamond said.

“In division 2, you can get away that. The quality players can almost drag the rest of the team across the line at times.

“But in division 1, you need everybody stepping up and not just relying on the Grahams [brothers Brian and Chris], [Daniel] Bunworth, [Paul] O’Shea, [Alex] Hamilton and those guys.”

One willing youngster is Liam Scarborough, who was one of the Falcons’ best on Saturday.

“He stepped up and played his best game of the season so far,” Beamond said.

“His attack on the ball for a small, slight kid was outstanding.”

Wyndhamvale faces a daunting trip to Spotswood at McLean Reserve on Saturday.

The Woodsmen have been in a slight rebuild of their own and are not the powerhouse they once were, but they’re still a tough nut to crack.

“Spotty at Spotty is always going to be hard to play against,” Beamond said.

“If we work hard enough for long enough, I believe there’s enough talent in the group that we’ll be able to snag one.”

Hoppers Crossing moved to the top of the ladder after a six-goal effort from Mohamad El Hawli and impressive displays from Reece Miles, Kane Galley and Jarrod Arnott.

The Cats will host third-placed Sunshine Kangaroos in what shapes as a cracker at Hogans Road Reserve on Saturday.

Taekwondo kid gets international exposure

Xavier Nikolovski is a taekwondo natural.

(Damjan Janevski)

When Xavier Nikolovski and his parents were looking for a sport for him four years ago, he discovered taekwondo and quickly fell in love with it.

He’s shown a natural ability for the martial art and the 10-year-old has already won several titles in Victoria and interstate.

Now he gets the chance to represent Australia at the 2016 Korean Taekwondo Open in Gyeongju.

His father, Archie, says Xavier has worked hard at the sport.

Xavier had successes last year at the Victorian Winter Open championships and the Victorian Moomba Open and was a medallist at both the Victorian and Australian championships.

“We moved to Gisborne four to five years ago and we were looking for a sport for Xavier,” Archie said. “He’s become really good, really quickly … within two and half years of starting he was winning state and Australian titles, and

he’s done a lot of training and a lot of travelling to get there.”

Xavier started taekwondo in Gisborne before moving to Martial Fitness Australia (Taekwondo Academy) in Point Cook under Allan Malachowski.

Late last year, he won his black belt.

Xavier says he’s very excited about the trip to South Korea. “I’m not expecting much … it’ll be pretty hard,” he said. “I enjoy it and fighting is my favourite thing.”

He said his next aim was the world cadet championships in a couple of years, with the long-term aim of making the Olympics.

Archie says the trip to South Korea is the next step in his son’s progress.

Xavier has been well supported in making the trip, with the Gisborne branch of real estate agent RT Edgar coming on board as a sponsor and New Gisborne Primary School also being very supportive.

“He’s done everything he can in Australia and we want to get him international exposure,” Archie said. “They take some talented young kids who are nine, 10 and 11 and prepare them for the world cadets, which is the 12-14 age group.

“If they have a few international trips behind them, they’ll know what to expect as they fight differently overseas.

“We’ll target cadets in the next couple of years, before juniors.”

While overseas, the young Australian team will have an intense training camp before competing in the Korean Open.

“We’re not expecting much, result wise,” Archie said. “He’s at least a year younger than most of the competitors, and they are allowed to kick to the head.

“We don’t have that in Australia.”

New coach starts Bees’ re-build

By Lance Jenkinson Werribee City is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The Bees have made no secret of their desire to build for the long term and will do so with young home-grown talent.

But with this strategy comes inevitable short-term pain, and it has already claimed a coach.

The Bees needed to find a coach willing to see out the process, and they have turned to the experienced Sergio Sabbadini.

Sabbadini performed a similar rebuild in a seven-year technical director stint with Bulleen Lions, who took the next step in their evolution by earning promotion to the top tier of the NPL last season.

The 58-year-old believes he has the know-how and patience to help Werribee City achieve a similar feat in the long term.

“I’ve done it all before, but it’s still a big job and one I’m looking forward to,” Sabbadini told Star Weekly.

“It takes time and you can’t do it overnight.

It will all work out as long as we have patience.”

While the new coach shares the same long-term vision as Werribee City’s powerbrokers, he’s keen to generate a bit more excitement in the first team.

After 11 rounds, the Bees are yet to pick up a win, which has really dampened the confidence of the senior team.

Sabbadini wants a more competitive outfit and needs to find some experienced players who will fit with the target demographic.

“We need to stabilise the first team and that’s a first priority, with good young players who are going to be there for a few years – not just one season and they’re off,” he said.

“I’m not talking about 35-year-olds. I want good senior players in their mid-20s, who can lead the kids through and have an instant positive effect for our results as well. We’re sounding out people every day.”

Sabbadini will take a holistic approach and work closely with a soon-to-be-appointed technical director.

With a host of talented youngsters rising through the ranks, Sabbadini wants to create a pathway for them to filter into the senior sides.

He points to Bulleen’s successful junior pathway and use of local players as a blueprint the Bees can follow.

“I think the junior program at Bulleen is one of the best in the state,” Sabbadini said.

“We were fair dinkum about our junior development. The senior squad that won promotion last year was 60 per cent made up of players who had come through our junior set-up.”

Yasin Nur last week made his senior first team debut for Werribee City at the age of 15.

Sabbadini has the belief that if a player is good enough, they’re old enough. But he’s not

going to throw kids in the deep end if they can’t swim.

“Ideally, I’d rather promote players from within, but some of those players just aren’t ready yet.

“It can be detrimental if you put them in too soon, so you need to be wary of that.

“It’s best to give them bits and pieces here and there and it might be 12 to 18 months before we see the benefit of that.”

Sabbadini had a long career as both a defensive midfielder and on the last line.

The Fairfield resident made his debut with Brunswick Juventus at 16 and went on to play there for 14 years before finishing his career with Fawkner Blues and Bulleen Lions.

After seven years on the coaching staff at Bulleen, it was time for a fresh challenge.

His first three weeks at Werribee City have been promising. “The players have been like sponges, receptive to what we’re doing and trying to put the new systems in place,” he said.

“They’re not a very old bunch so it’s not like they’ve developed bad habits. We should be able to mould them into a good side.”

Nur joins the seniors at 15 It was a big week in the soccer career of Werribee City young gun Yasin Nur. The midfielder came on for the first time in a league match against Kingston City on May 2 and was rewarded for his efforts five days later with a start in Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Goulburn Valley Suns in an NPL2 west encounter at Galvin Park.

It would probably not be newsworthy if Nur was not doing all of this at the age of 15.

He’s relished the chance to play in the seniors and has so far delivered on his promise.

“I was a bit nervous when I came on for the first game, but after I touched the ball a couple of times I was okay,” he told Star Weekly.

“The difference between the seniors and reserves is the intensity of the game. It’s more physical and a bit more technical. Passes are harder and the game is faster.”

Nur has the benefit of supportive teammates who won’t stand in the way of a youngster trying to make his name in the NPL. Bees club captain Angus Martin has taken

Nur under his wing. And as Nur isn’t old enough to drive, he sometimes has to rely on his skipper to take him to training.

Nur says his teammates have done a good job in settling his nerves.

“They were talking to me before the game,” Nur said. “They were just saying, it’s just another game. Relax and do the simple stuff.”

Nur, a student at Al-Taqwa College, wants to become a professional.

The Hoppers Crossing youngster has played with Werribee City since under-10s, although he left for a season to be part of the elite National Training Centre set-up.

Nur returned to the Bees on a mission to become a regular senior player. “That’s the dream goal.”

Nur supports Melbourne Victory and Barcelona and his favourite player is Barca’s magical midfielder, Andres Iniesta. “He’s calm on the ball and smart.”

Werribee Devils produced a spirited fightback to take Hume City Broncos down to the wire in the Big V basketball men’s championship on Saturday night.

The Devils fell agonisingly short 86-83 in a thriller at the Broadmeadows Basketball Stadium.

A slow start cost the Devils dearly as they had to chase tail all night.

They trailed the Broncos (7-2) by seven points at quarter-time but gradually chipped away at the deficit to give themselves a late chance.

Devils import Fred Hunter had the chance to take the game to overtime, launching a three-point attempt with three seconds left on the clock, but it missed and the Broncos secured the rebound.

Jeremy Smith was incredible in the Devils’ comeback, the American import scoring a game-high 29 points and reeling in 15 rebounds.

Smith also brought others into play with three assists.

Jordan Hughes was prolific with 18 points and nine rebounds, while Hunter had 18 points and seven rebounds.

Justin Ward equalled his season-best with 13 points, including two three-pointers.

So close, yet so far for the Devils, who are 2-7 and ninth on the ladder.

They can change the course of their season with this weekend’s double dip.

The Devils will host McKinnon (4-3) at Eagle Stadium on Saturday night and back up on Sunday with a trip to Bulleen (0-7).

In women’s division 1, Werribee Devils sorely missed import Rebecca van Kuyk, who was back home in New Zealand at national team try-outs.

Tigers prove toothless

Sports shorts GDFL netball

Werribee Centrals goal shooter Ellie Tubbs has produced a Geelong District netball A-grade game for the ages.

Tubbs fired in a remarkable 99 goals for Centrals in Saturday’s 111-9 massacre of Corio at Galvin Park. Centrals and Bannockburn are the only two unbeaten teams after six rounds. Centrals will be eager to continue their stellar form away to Geelong West on Saturday.

By Lance Jenkinson Half-time optimism evaporated for Werribee as it finished with a whimper in a 2-2 draw with bottom-of-the-ladder PEGS in Hockey Victoria women’s Vic League 2 on Saturday.

It was a tale of two halves for the Tigers at the PEGS sports fields. They started the match like a house on fire only to lose the lead in a listless second half.

“We dominated that first half,” Tigers coach Les McAlinden told Star Weekly. “We were playing really well, everything was working.

After that, we just went to sleep. Credit to them, they stayed there and kept nipping away.”

The Tigers made a fast start with first-half goals to Rhiannon Downs and Lynda Tivendale, giving them a 2-1 lead at the break.

But their momentum was halted by a shocking second half.

“We played half a game,” McAlinden said. “I was very disappointed.”

It tells you all you need to know about Werribee’s second half that goalkeeper Rachel Catania was best-on-ground.

She made a number of fine saves to preserve the draw for the Tigers.

“She kept us in the game,” McAlinden said.

“But for her, we would’ve been in real trouble.”

Which Werribee turns up at Melton on Saturday could go some way to determining the result. Both sides are brimming with young talent.

The Tigers have a teenage captain in Chloe Pickersgill and talented 13-year-old striker Claudia Beamish, who is tipped to be a star.

“She [Beamish] doesn’t even think about how old she is and doesn’t take a step back,” McAlinden said.

“She gets pushed around and just keeps going.”

It was past players’ day for Werribee Centrals on Saturday and many of the former champions returned to look over the future of the club, on and off the ground. It was also Pink Day at Galvin Park, with a sea of pink in the rooms for an afternoon tea that raised funds for the Breast Cancer Network.

The day was capped off with a thrilling two-point win for Centurions over Corio in the Geelong District Football League.

The Centurions, who led by 28 at threequarter time, held off the fast-finishing Corio thanks largely to the influence of Dion Lawson (three goals), Jarryd Ramsay and Tito Nyawela.

Westbourne Grammarians had an all-the-way 33-point win over North Brunswick in the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s division 4 on Saturday. The Warriors continued to toss contenders to the side as they moved to 5-0 and two wins clear at the top of the table. Tim Rogers was named best for the Warriors, while Justin Johns snagged five goals. Point Cook had the bye.

Long road ahead

Hyundai is certainly not alone in looking at hydrogen power. In 2004, Mercedes-Benz drove its little fuel-cell A-class from Melbourne to Perth (admittedly accompanied by a truck carrying canisters of hydrogen), and General Motors, BMW, Honda and Toyota are all at various stages down the track to a production model. None of them are anywhere near making money on the idea.

This will come only when refuelling is available and economies of scale in production bring prices to somewhere within cooee of what we’re used to with cars. The arrival of that day depends on whether both car companies and service station operators can take a sufficiently long-term view of the concept.

(Pictures supplied)

The first sod has been turned in establishing Australia’s hydrogen highway and you could be driving along it sooner than you think.

Hydrogen is coming up fast.

The first hydrogen-powered car I drove was a Mercedes-Benz A-class. That was in 2004 and it was insured for $5 million. Now Hyundai has a hydrogen car, an ix35 SUV, and its notional cost is about $150,000. A lot, but a lot less than $5 million.

There are 72 hydrogen pumps in California, 80 in Europe and 13 in South Korea, and now we have one too. Hyundai has one at the back of its Sydney headquarters; it cost about $300,000.

Okay, one pump doesn’t make hydrogen viable, but it’s a start. In the next five years hundreds more are expected worldwide.

Hydrogen, the most common element on the planet, is a beautiful fuel. A solar-powered hydrogen fuel station adds electricity to purified water to release the hydrogen (water is two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen), which then goes to the pump and into a hydrogen car, giving it a range of about 600 kilometres. Filling the tank takes a minute or two. The car’s fuel cell combines the hydrogen with oxygen gathered from the air outside to create an electric current, driving the car’s electric motor. The only exhaust emitted is water vapour.

Did you get that? No fossil fuels anywhere.

No harmful emissions. Water in at one end, water out at the other, 600 kilometres of driving in between – driving which, apart from being eerily quiet, is no different.

But how does a tankful of hydrogen react when hit by a Mack truck? The car’s tank is fabricated with aluminium alloy in a carbon composite wrap. These have been shot at, lowered into fire baths, dropped and crashed into barriers, all without incident.

Cranston Polson, managing director of H2H Energy, an Australian company advising on hydrogen systems, believes the current cost of establishing hydrogen refuelling infrastructure would be in line with the creation of mobile phone infrastructure. So right now the costs of the car and of a refuelling network are scary. But 21st-century technology tends to get cheaper fast. Take hybrids; Australia’s first hybrid car, the two-seat Honda Insight of 2001, cost $48,900. You can now buy a practical and comfortable Prius for $26,380.

Hyundai has been playing around with hydrogen power since 1998 and this ix35

is its fourth-generation hydrogen car. Its production cost is well into six figures but the fifth-generation model, due in 2018, is strongly tipped to cost less than $100,000.

But you won’t be able to buy one. Hyundai has fleets of the current model in California, Europe and South Korea. In America they have been placed with families on lease but they’re taken back at lease’s end. Even this won’t happen here until more refuelling points are established.

The encouraging thing at the launch of the hydrogen Hyundai was the support it received from the federal government. The then minister

for industry and science, Ian Macfarlane, was effusive in his praise of the concept. The support is welcome because overseas experience suggests hydrogen pump networks may require government support to be viable.

“One of our ideas is ‘Hume by hydrogen’, to link Australia’s two largest cities via the nation’s capital,” says Charlie Kim, Hyundai Australia’s chief executive.

“It would require refuelling stations in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Goulburn and Albury and could see hydrogen vehicles, including buses, running on a busy highway emitting nothing but water vapour.”

By David Bonnici Hyundai seems to love a challenge. For years it has implored drivers to look beyond the badge when comparing the company to popular Japanese models.

Now the king of small cars with its i30 and a strong competitor in the SUV market, the Korean car maker has decided to once again tackle prejudices by competing against established luxury European brands.

I first test drove the Hyundai Genesis at it’s Australian launch in Canberra in 2014 and was really impressed by its solid presence, luxury and handling.

But this time around, it was good to get more than just a few hours and to be without the influence of Hyundai’s generous hospitality and the novelty of driving around the nation’s capital and stunning rural surrounds.

After a week driving this car in Melbourne’s western suburbs during the daily grind, I’m still impressed.

Hyundai’s foray into the luxury car market isn’t just an automotive equivalent of applying cosmetics to a pig.

This car is built from the ground up as a luxury car.

It has the looks, refinement, luxury and safety features to more than match it with cars featuring an extra digit in their price tags.

It looks great and it was really interesting to watch people trying to figure out exactly what it was.

Inside The Genesis welcomes you into its plush interior via its winged logo projected on to the ground at the foot of the front door. The welcome extends to the driver’s seat moving into position and a short musical serenading before you press the push-button start.

The driver’s seat is really comfortable.

Electronic settings include a four-way lumbar support for lower back and hips. The seat cushion moves independently to support your calves and the soft leather seats have heating and cooling.

The headrests are soft and feel soothing after a hectic day. You can drive for a long time in this car before you feel fatigued.

Rear-seat passengers are well looked after with sofa-like comfort and adjustable support and a centre fold-down armrest that allows them to control the entertainment system, air-conditioning and even the position of the front passenger seat to have more leg room.

Thankfully, the driver has the option of locking, which saved me from having to endure my teenage daughters changing songs every minute.

The back doors almost open to right angles to allow for easier access The interior itself is stately with quality fittings available in a range of colors and trims.

The car I drove had a cream interior with walnut trim that looked airy thanks to the panoramic sunroof.

Other interesting touches include a powered rear window blind that provides sun protection

Come and see what lies under the skin of the all new Amarok.

Thursday 12th - Friday 13th May

The Hyundai Genesis interior is stately and spacious. (Pictures: supplied)

While it isn’t built in Australia, Hyundai tested the Genesis in Australian conditions for a couple of years so it’s introduction here wasn’t just a matter of driving it off a ship and hoping for the best.

Despite being a big car with a big engine, fuel consumption wasn’t that bad. I averaged 10.2 litres per 100 kilometres on all kinds of roads and in all sorts of traffic conditions.

or privacy and manual blinds that you can manually pop up to shade the passenger door windows.

The dashboard is nicely laid out and the gauges look good. The trip computer is the same as in other Hyundai models.

One thing that isn’t stock standard is the multimedia and navigation system, featuring a 9.2-inch high-definition touchscreen, and satellite navigation featuring live traffic updates.

There’s also 360-degree views to help you park.

The Lexicon surround-sound system is epic, pumping out your favorite tunes through 17 speakers.

The boot is big, so there’s no issues with this car being used for airport runs.

The drive On the road, the Genesis feels incredibly smooth and road noise is really low, though the sound insulating windows do rob you of the nice growl the 3.8-litre V6 makes when you floor it.

Acceleration is great and there are paddle shifts if you feel like a bit of sporty driving though I was more than content to drive in auto.

Put your foot down and it goes like a beast. I’d love to try the new V8 version, not that the V6 is lacking in power.

I like the head-up display that shows speed, cruise control settings, displays if cars are in your blind spot on either side, warns you if you stray over the white line and flashes red if it thinks you’re at risk of colliding with the car in front.

Safety When released in 2014, the Genesis had the highest ANCAP safety rating of any car to be sold in Australia with a total score of 36.88 out of 37.

This was due to the high-tensile steel shell, nine airbags and a suite of electronic safety wizardry including blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, radar cruise control and autonomous emergency braking.

The Genesis comes with three option packages – Genesis, Genesis with Sensory Pack and Genesis with Ultimate Pack.

The Ultimate Pack, which I test drove, has everything described above, while some of the luxury items aren’t in the other two. The base model is also without some of the electronic safety features though it shares the same high ANCAP rating.

The Hyundai Genesis continues to surprise people who were unaware Hyundai made cars at this level. While it’s up against the likes of the Lexus and BMW 5 Series, I think it will come into its own when Holden stops making the locally produced Caprice.

Hyundai had resisted marketing the Genesis as a separate luxury brand as Toyota did with Lexus. But that’s all set to change, so it will be interesting to see if the company will apply this luxury and quality to smaller cars and SUVs, as we see in the Lexus range.

On the other hand, it would be interesting to see this in a less luxurious version to fill the void when the Falcon and Commodore become history.

Prices start from around $65,000 for the base model Genesis to just under $90,000 for the Ultimate pack, which is almost $20,000 cheaper than the BMW 528i despite having more features.
