Volunteerswanted

Energetic volunteers of all ages are invited to become the friendly, welcoming face of the Fraser Coast at four of the region’s visitor information centres and the Discovery Sphere.

One of the key roles of those joining the team of volunteers at Fraser Coast Opportunities will be to help visitors discover, experience and appreciate the natural wonders and attractions of our region.

Fraser Coast Opportunities General Manager David Spear said successful applicants would need to be outgoing, enthusiastic and passionate about our region.

“You will need to have broad general knowledge of the Fraser Coast – or be willingly to quickly learn.”

Volunteers can choose to be involved with just one centre, or as many as they wished.

Ideal candidates will also need excellent com-munication skills and must be eligible to obtain a Working With Children Blue Card if working at the Discovery Sphere.

Work Place Bullying an OH&S matter is now subject to statutory reinforcement!By Alisha Pengelly,Proactive HR Solutions

The Australian Federal Government has recently amended The Fair Work Act 2009 to allow an individual who believes

that they have been reasonably subject to workplace bullying to apply to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) for an order to stop the bullying.

These provisions are available for any person who carries out work in any capac-ity for a person conducting a business or undertaking and can include employees (regardless of wages or salary classifi ca-tion), trainees/apprentices, individuals on work experience and volunteers.

In order to obtain an order from the Com-mission an individual or group of individuals must have behaved unreasonably towards the worker on repeatedly and that this be-haviour must create a risk to an individual’s health and safety.

Once an application is lodged with the Fair Work Commission, the Commission has 14 days to deal with the claim:

The primary focus of the Commission in relation to bullying claims is to resolve the matter and to promote the continuation of normal working relationships within the workplace.

For more information, assistance or advice on workplace bullying, contact us at Proactive HR Solutions today!

Bulldogs help Glendyne‘tackle’ bullying

Smaller class sizes, a family atmosphere and a Mentoring Program are just some of the ways in which Carinity Education - Glen-dyne has helped to tackle bullying at the school.

Speaking during the Bulldog’s visit as part of the NRL Tackle Bullying Program, Sports Co-ordinator Robert Taylor said students respond well to hearing this message from people that they look up to.

“Hearing that high profi le NRL players don’t tolerate bullying is something that really sticks with them.

“Here at Carinity Education - Glendyne we fi nd that the smaller class sizes and fostering positive relationships with students through the Mentoring Program ensure staff can nip any issues of bullying in the bud from the out-set. A dedicated Youth Support Team which includes chaplains, counsellors and youth workers also ensures that Glendyne students can get one-on-one attention and counselling if they are having a bad day,” he said.

However, Mr Taylor says that there is a real sense of solidarity amongst Carinity Educa-tion - Glendyne students as many of them have been bullied themselves in mainstream schools and now tend to look out for each other.

Located in Nikenbah just outside Hervey Bay, Carinity Education - Glendyne provides a second chance for young people who have struggled in mainstream schooling by provid-ing a practical education with individual learn-ing support in a fl exible learning environment.

The NRL Tackle Bullying Program aims to empower students to stand up for them-selves and others who are being bullied, by using fi ve steps: Stand Strong; Stay Calm; Respond Confi dently; Walk Away, and Re-port..

Latest guide to support

The latest version of the Little Lime Pocket book - a guide to welfare and support services on the Fraser Coast, is now available.

The pocket book is a very useful resource, Council-lor for Community, Heritage and Family Services, George Seymour (pictured)said.

“It is important that people know what govern-ment and community

support is available.’’The pocket book is

available at Council Customer Service Centres and at com-munity centres.

It contains contact details for a wide range of services such as emergency services, disability services, health ser-vices, education, and crisis relief.

“The publication is kept to a small size so that it can be conveniently left by the phone, carried in a handbag or in a pocket,” Cr Seymour said.

In 2012 we par-ticipated in a review of Junior Secondary. This review was a regional one, and involved Prin-cipal’s from Primary and Secondary schools

coming and looking at our preparation and giving us feedback about our readiness for Year 7 at high school. This feedback was based on each of the six principles. Maryborough State High School was highly commended on our Junior Secondary preparation.

This year we have continued with our prepara-tions and will be refurbishing “E” block for Year 7 students. The Year 7 classrooms will all have new furniture; the area under “E” block will become an outdoor learning area. A fl exible learning area is available for art and other practical activities.

Junior Secondary students have their own space, which is a shaded, grassy area in which Junior Secondary students can eat lunch and use as a play area. The new Junior Secondary uniform, launched in 2013 is a bright navy and sky blue shirt with grey shorts which are comfortable to wear. Students also have access to a range of

sporting equipment that they can borrow each lunch time and there are organised lunchtime activities available.

Junior assemblies, junior sport, end of semes-ter awards evening and reward activities all assist in the development of this distinct identity. Junior Secondary students at Maryborough State High have a sense of belonging; feel connected, safe and confi dent at school.

Preparation for our foundation Year 7 students is in place for 2015. Year 7 students will have a commemorative shirt which is currently being de-signed. Should you wish to be involved in this process please contact me to register your interest.

Coming to secondary school is an exciting and anxious time for both parents and students. We want to ensure all parents that year 7 and 8 students who come to Maryborough State High School will be well looked after.

We have carefully selected a team of commit-ted teachers and support staff to ensure your students are given the very best opportunities to succeed.

Enrolments for 2015 are open from the beginning of MarchPlease visit the Maryborough State High School website [email protected] to view

our prospectus and enrolment form.

Please feel free to contact Principal Karen McKinnon should you have any inquiry, or [email protected] or 07 41209333.

As you know, getting ready for Year 7 in 2015 has been on the agenda since 2012. Marybor-ough State High has been working to make sure we are ready. Last year we launched our new Junior Secondary program addressing the 6 principles of Junior Secondary which are: Distinct Identity, Leadership, Quality Teaching, Student Well-Being, Local Decision Making and Parent and Community Involvement.

In our Junior Secondary Pre-cinct we have been busy wel-coming to MSHS a new cohort of year 8 students.

It’s been an excellent start to 2014, with all our students in year 8 displaying Respect, Re-sponsibility and Results in class.

At Maryborough SHS, all students new to the school have individual needs catered for to ensure that they don’t get lost in a crowd.

Some of our newest students in year 8 this year are:• Shari Peltonen – “I think that

Maryborough High is a great high school. It is comforting

and welcoming.”• Bethany Robinson – “High

school: a new place, new people, new experiences; I love it.”

• Jemma Tennant – “Moving from classroom to classroom for different subjects is new and exciting!”

• Claudia Giles – “Mini iPads are awesome.”

• Corey Batchler – “Not only have I met up with my past friends, but I’ve also met some from different primary schools.”Keep up the good work, year

8 – we look forward to an exciting and rewarding year.

Batting for QldMaryborough State High

School Student Dylan Hard, has played softball for the Qld under 17 boys team over the school holidays.

The team placed 2nd in the Australian National under 17 boys competition in Hawker ACT.

Dylan Batted well, he had 7 runs batted in and took 4 catches.

When Dylan was asked about the experience he replied “Had a great time, great experience and I can’t wait to go again”.

Dylan started his training after the September holidays and was going to Brisbane, Toowoomba and Ipswich every Sunday for 9am to 3pm training as well as training and playing another 5 days a week in Maryborough and Hervey bay.

Congratulations Dylan on being chosen to represent the state from the under 17 Representative side in September and named as an outfi elder and as forth back-up pitcher.

Daina off to world titles

Maryborough State High School student Daina Neilsen is an aspiring barrel racer.

What is barrel rac-ing?

The sport of barrel racing is not widely known but it is the discipline of completing a course of three barrels set out in a clover leaf formation as fast as possible.

The training of a barrel horse takes plenty of patience and a lot of dedication. These animals love to compete just as much as the riders.

Over the years this sport has been growing in size and building a reputation. It is now possible for Australian competitors who are members of the National Barrel Horse Association to com-pete in American competitions.

This year Daina will have the honour of rep-resenting Australia in the National Barrel Horse Associations Junior World Championships.

Tuition – How will it help my child?

With students back at school, many parents will look at last year’s report cards and ask two questions: Does my child need tutoring? How do I know if the tutor will suit my child?

The answer to the fi rst question is that students seek private tutoring for various reasons. Stu-dents obtaining above average results often attend private tutoring to improve upon those results.

Others may ‘struggle’ at school and are too shy to seek help in front of their peers. Tutoring provides the opportunity to ask questions in an individualised setting.

In some cases, time poor parents want a space where their child can complete homework, so that family time can be used for other pursuits.

Beyond academic improvement, positive tutor-ing experiences will often help a student build self-confi dence, resilience and an enthusiasm for learning.

In fi nding a suitable tutor, a pre-tuition interview is the ideal opportunity to ask questions and deter-mine if the tutor is right for your student. Topics for discussion could include:

The structure of the tutoring program (including fl exibility to adjust to student needs and the use of technology)

The tutor’ s experience and qualifi cationsStudent-teacher ratiosFee structure and process if the student can’t

attend in a session. (Due to ongoing costs, many tutors will require payment, but offer a catch up lesson).

For more information about private tutoring, contact Education Rules!!! on 41235411.

For all parents, choosing the right school for their child is an important long term decision.

To help parents navigate their way to the best school for their child, here are 10 helpful questions to con-sider:1. Do we want the most

up-to-date educational resources for our children?

2. Are we looking for a values-based nurturing en-vironment for our children to learn in?

3. Is it important to us that our school of choice has a no nonsense policy about bullying?

4. Do we consider our child’s education as one of the most important invest-ments we can make for them, yet we need it to be affordable?

5. Would it be in the best interest of our child if they can start and fi nish their Primary to Senior educa-tion on just one campus?

6. Do we as a family prefer to stay in a safer/smaller

community while our chil-dren grow up?

7. Will transportation and location affect our choice of school?

8. Will our children be disad-vantaged because we live in a regional area?

9. Can the social, spiritual and emotional needs of our child be nurtured and developed?

10. After comparing local schools, which one do we see, can best meet the needs of our family?At Riverside Christian

College we invite you to tour the grounds and classrooms if you are at the point of choosing the right school for your child/ren.

Students are being taught with the power of today’s technology and educational resources.

As you and your family take the tour you will see a hidden treasure right here in Maryborough; state-of-the-art facilities and beautiful extensive grounds.

Shawn Kelly of Para-dise Seaplanes loves to fl y and meets many people every day who share his passion.

Australia Day week-end had perfect fl ying conditions and locals and visitors alike en-joyed an aspect of beautiful Hervey Bay available only from his Wilga 80 seaplane.

“Seaplane passengers get to see just how beautiful the Bay really is,” says Pilot, Shawn Kelly.

Shawn is a Seaplane Pilot and Flight In-structor and has over 5000 hours fl ying com-mercially in the US and Australia.

He says he has one of the best jobs in the world.

The best job in the world

The new year provides an opportunity to refl ect on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The year 2014 can be whatever we make it to be. I sense an energy on the Fraser Coast, an upturn in confi dence in our busi-ness community and a pride amongst citizens of all ages in our region. 2013 tested us with fi res, storms and fl oods and we came through better than ever.

The community works best when we work to-gether; we saw it in the fl ood response, we saw it with the Imagine This City process and we will see it again in 2014.

I encourage all residents to use this year to make whatever positive changes they can in their life, to get to know their neighbours and to become active and involved in their communi-ties.

But most of all, to take a breath, spend quality time with family and friends and to be thankful; we live in the best place in the world, opportu-nities are limitless and there has never been a better time to be alive. - Daniel Sanderson, City and Town Centre Development, FCRC

The Australian horticul-tural industry is not getting full potential value out of its products but a new project aims to take a fresh look at the whole ‘value chain’ from soil to supermarket.

The $483,000 project is backed by the Horticulture Australia Limited (HAL) Transformational Research Fund and will be led by CQUniversity.

Project spokesperson Pro-fessor Philip Brown says the potential value of some crops is not being maximised. Meantime, a signifi cant ‘non-premium’ proportion of many crops never reaches the retail market and other crops produce under-utilised by-products.

The Bundaberg-based

researcher says project members are keen to take advantage of innovative technologies, products or processes by creating new ‘value chain’ links.

“This project aims to en-able specialty and, poten-tially, premium products that are differentiated via technol-ogy and product qualities, building on advantages in the production base and extend-ing this throughout process-ing and through to marketing and brand positioning along the value chain,” Prof Brown says.

“Using fl exible technology

scaled for specialty products, there is potential for on-farm processing in some cases.

“Projects focused solely on technology or product development, without ad-equate attention to market assessment and value chain development, have failed or had minimal impact on the horticultural industry.

“However, drawing on collaboration and integration throughout the value chain, there is potential for highly signifi cant transformative industry impact.”

The project will be under-taken in collabaration with the Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research and the Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Let’s get up to internet speedFaster internet access for busi-

nesses and residents in some areas of the Fraser Coast is long overdue, says Councillor Chris Loft (pictured).

The National Broadband Network (NBN) recently unveiled the local government areas where planning proposals will be lodged to provide local farms, homes and businesses access to fast broadband.

NBN Co plans to deliver access to fast broadband via its fi xed wireless network to parts of the following council areas, with facilities currently expected to be switched on in stages starting from mid-2015 in:• Bundaberg Regional Council• North Burnett Regional Council• Fraser Coast Regional Council• Gympie Regional Council

The Fixed Wireless system uses a wireless tower which transmits signal

to homes via roof-mounted antenna through the connect-ing wire to a NBN box.

Cr Loft (pictured), whose portfolio includes Small Busi-ness, Manufacturing and Service Industry, said the fi xed wireless network was designed to provide access to inter-net speeds that people in the cities took for granted.

“For too long parts of the Fraser Coast have been left lacking when it comes to telecommunications,’’ Cr Loft said.

“I heard of one local business that wanted to expand its operations here, but couldn’t because of the lack of decent internet access.

“So I will be going in to bat for those businesses and residents

who want to get better access to the world.’’

Over the coming months, NBN Co will work with local governments to identify locations for fi xed wireless network infrastructure in and around the Wide Bay-Burnett area.

NBN Co Spokesperson Ryan Wil-liams said the fi xed-wireless service would bring better broadband to the bush.

“More farms, residents and busi-nesses can look forward to having access to faster internet,” Mr Wil-liams said.

“The NBN also means you can get the whole family on line at once, opening up opportunities for local farms, businesses and the wider region to participate in the digital age.”*

Movers and Shakers

John and Kerry Pool have a great locally-produced product with their business, Lychee Divine. The Tiaro lychee growers have set up a business display in the Visitor Information centre near the Matilda service station just south of Marybor-ough.Highway travellers can pull into the Visitor Centre to check out what the Fraser Coast has to offer and be tempted by the range of lychee prod-ucts on show.

Vaughan Henry of Toogoom has taken his Cobra Chilli prod-ucts to the world. Vaughan started his business in 2011 and has since fi red up tastes with his wide range of sauces, tak-ing serveral awards along the way. Watch this space.

Would you like to see paddle boats casually cruising the Mary River? Maybe hire a recreational canoe in Ululah Lagoon or enjoy a cappuccino from a mobile coffee kart in Queens Park?

Council is seeking ex-pressions of interest for new business opportunities in Maryborough, including expanding the use of the region’s waterways.

Councillor for City and Town Centre Development Daniel Sanderson (pictured) said Council was looking at areas including the Mary River (adjacent to the Maryborough Sailing

Club and adjacent to the Lamington Bridge), Ululah Lagoon and Queens

Park.“I feel that these are areas

with a lot of untapped poten-tial,” he said.

“We have beautiful, historic waterways and surrounding areas that are easily acces-sible to the public. We have been looking at other ex-amples across Queensland

and indeed Australia that are doing similar things. Echuca, on the New South Wales - Victorian Border is prime example.

“Paddle steamers played a crucial role in Echuca’s history during the

19th century. The town has continued to embrace this and paddle steamers are now a pivotal part of its tourism industry.”

Cr Sanderson said Council was open to all suggestions from busi-nesses interested in utilising the areas.

“I would love to see vintage ice cream karts serving customers in the Mary River Parklands,” he said.

“But that is just one idea. The pos-sibilities are endless and we want to make things happen.”

New shelter for Quota Park in Bell Hilltop

Council crews are busy installing a picnic table and timber shelter at Quota Park - be-tween Sprake Drive and Parkview Court - in Bell Hilltop to help celebrate the Quota Club of Maryborough’s 50th anniversary.

The Club approached Council last year to discuss the project and earlier this month presented Council with a cheque to cover the costs.

Vice President Janette Walker said the group currently has 14 members and fund-raises for many charitable organisations each year.

“We wanted to install a shelter in the park for young families to be able to enjoy and make the most of their time together,” she said.

Clean-up with SteveWorking on high-rise buildings

has given Steve Gleeson a good grounding in the cleaning busi-ness.

Steve, now of Hervey Bay, is the owner of Steve’s Professional Cleaning Services, a business he set up with the help of the NEIS scheme.

NEIS (The New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) is a Federal Government initiative that assists people who are registered with Centrelink, are receiving a ben-efi t and who have a promising business idea, to start their own business.

Dawn Jensen at Sarina Russo Hervey Bay was on hand to see Steve through the scheme.

“I knew how to do the job,’’ Steve said. “But I needed the business expertise.’’

Steve started in the cleaning game in 1977 and has done several types of work including a stint washing windows on rise -rise buildings in Adelaide.

His services include house cleaning, gutters, pressure clean-ing and carpet cleaning.

He covers Maryborough, Hervey Bay and north to Howard.

One day you are working and happy, the next you have no work and no place to live.

This was the situation Candise found herself in recently. It came as a shock and really sent her world upside down. With no work and nowhere to live, Candise was understandably stressed and upset.

Candise called into her Job Service Agency at Sarina Russo Job Access to advise them of her predicament and the ball started rolling.

On the following Monday, the psycholo-gist at Sarina Russo Job Access was able to assist Candise, not only with her current state of mind, but also with urgent accom-modation.

That is where the assistance of Youth Housing from Maryborough kicked in and they were able to fi nd her emergency ac-commodation for three nights.

Meanwhile, Candise’s case manager at Sarina Russo Job Access referred her for a

position at the Hervey Bay Hotel.Candise attended her trial the next day

and was given a position at the hotel. Her case manager advised Youth Housing that Candise was successful in gaining employ-ment which would assist in gaining her own place to live.

Youth Housing advised on the next af-ternoon that Candise had been successful gaining her own unit and would be moving in the same day.

This was a remarkable turnaround. From jobless and homeless, to working and her own place in three days!

This was a tremendous effort by every-body involved and Candise is now looking forward to working hard and making every post a winner.
