More than 40 community agencies signed a pledge at Victorias Parliament House last Thursday to bridge the services and infrastructure gap for Whittlesea families.

Whittlesea council convened the meeting of politicians and the 45 agency heads involved in the Families on the Edge campaign. They will lobby on behalf of families, children and young people in Melbournes north who have been neglected by successive state governments.

In a speech to launch the campaign, Whittlesea mayor Mary Lalios said there was a critical funding disparity.

Were the fourth-fastest-growing municipality in Victoria, but we receive only 7 per cent of infrastructure funding, she said.

Were no longer prepared to accept a funding shortfall. Well stand as a united voice asking for a dedicated pipeline of funding in core services and infrastructure.

The campaign is focusing on five issues: family violence, young people, financial hardships, community and assisted transport, and children and families.

Among the high-profile groups taking up the challenge to secure election commitments from state politicians are the Victorian Council of Social Services, Melbourne City Mission, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, Berry Street, the Childrens Protection Society, Whittlesea Community Connections, and the Salvation Army Crossroads Network.

Melbourne City Mission chief executive Reverend Ric Holland commended Whittlesea council for taking the lead.

This is the stuff that keeps me awake at night, he said.

Im concerned that postcodes determine a young persons health. Im concerned

Groups unite to fight for fair go

that the percentage of people in Lalor who are disengaged is twice that of the rest of Melbourne.

And Im concerned that so many young people from Whittlesea travel 25 kilometres to the city centre for our homelessness programs because their families are at breaking point and they feel they cant go home.

The council is also urging residents to become

involved by telling the government they want a fairer deal.

You can sign the Fairer Funding petition at www.fairerfunding.com.au, share stories through video and photos on the Fairer Funding Facebook page about how a lack of services affects you, and check the campaigns progress on Twitter by following @fairerfunding.

Star Weekly also welcomes your stories.

The City of Whittlesea is one of Victorias fastest growing municipalities and its rapid transformation stretches services and infrastructure to the limits. A tipping point has been reached, with families on the edge. The Whittlesea Community Futures Partnership pledges to:

Advocate for fairer distribution of resources for the growing communities of the City of Whittlesea to ensure we create liveable communities in Melbournes fringe.

Work together in reducing the service gaps and improving the life outcomes of City of Whittlesea communities to ensure they are not disadvantaged by where they live.

Work in partnership with all levels of the government to support and ensure they fulfil their obligations in building sustainable and liveable communities in the City of Whittlesea.

Moth sculpture takes flight Thieves have taken a golden sun moth sculpture from Eppings Champions Parade. The sculpture was one of three created for Lyndarum estate by artist Benjamin Gilbert. The 80-kilogram sculpture is about 90cm long and 50cm high. Its believed it was removed on or around Friday, August 29. Anyone with information should contact Epping police on 9409 8100.

Road improvement pleaFederal Labor MP Rob Mitchell has urged the state government and Hume council to immediately upgrade the intersection of Hanson and Craigieburn roads in Craigieburn. The McEwen MP said the area was still subject to traffic congestion and accidents despite federal funding of more than $612,000 for safety improvements.

GP co-payment opposedA petition containing 8319 signatures from Scullin electorate residents objecting to the federal governments proposed $7 Medicare co-payment was tabled in Federal Parliament last week. Scullin Labor MP Andrew Giles said the electorate had the highest bulk-billing rate in Victoria.

Helping hands neededTradespeople are being encouraged to share their tools or skills through Hands On Learning (HOL) teams at The Lakes South Morang P-9 School, Epping Secondary College and Whittlesea Secondary College. For more details, phone 9404 8800.

Whittleseas Into the Light festival on Sunday has cycles of change as its theme and invites the community to welcome the new life and energy of spring.

The festival began in 2011 in response to the bushfires that devastated vast swathes of Melbournes north and the Kinglake Ranges. It brought people together to look forward and acknowledge the cycles of change.

Each year since, people from across Melbourne have paraded together as a personal, public and collective ritual to welcome the end of winter, reflect on the effects enforced changes have on everyday lives, and

think about the future. A lantern parade at dusk symbolises walking together out of the darkness of winter into the light of springtime.

Schoolchildren across the city have been decorating lanterns in readiness. Lantern- making sessions have also been used as an opportunity to talk about safety and fire.

People can decorate their own lanterns before the parade starts. There will be plenty of free activities and live music by emerging local performers. The activities at Whittlesea Showgrounds start at 3.30pm.

Science teachers and students are rejoicing Australias peak science facility, the $200 million Synchrotron, in Clayton, is now just an internet connection away.

La Trobe, Curtin and James Cook universities have formed a partnership to introduce Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FARLabs), which allows students and teachers access to the Synchrotron and their other world-class laboratories from electronic devices.

The system, launched last year by La Trobe University, is now linked to 100 Victorian schools.

FARLabs program leader Dr David Hoxley said the system was designed for secondary schools. In essence, weve refurbished every participating schools phsyics department with a new suite of equipment, Dr Hoxley

said. To do this physically would have cost millions of dollars. Weve done it virtually, and its an incredibly cost-effective solution.

Science writer for the program Cathay OConnell said an undewrstanding of science was important, irrespective of your career.

A big publication by the office of chief scientists at the end of 2011 identified that Australian students were turning their backs on science, Mr OConnell said.

Its important to develop an interest in science because so many jobs out there . . . are going to be technological.

Students can do nuclear, environmental and structural science experiments using the system.

Science fiction often depicts a futuristic utopia with hovercraft and robots, but it was the cartoon series The Flintstones that, ironically, portrayed the way of the future on foot and in human-powered vehicles.

Grade 5 and 6 pupils at Willmott Park Primary School are learning all about fitness and fossil fuels in preparation for the Maryborough Technology Challenge in November.

Two vehicles and 26 pupils 16 drivers and 10 pit crews are preparing for the 14-hour race, which will test teams endurance and fitness.

Willmott Park human (pedal)-powered vehicle co-ordinator Michael Hennessy said a select group of pupils were chosen based on their knowledge of fitness and outstanding behaviour.

Its a very popular program, Mr Hennessy said. 110 students try out but, unfortunately, we cant take them all. Students are selected based on fitness tests, including beep tests and bike rides.

In taking on the challenge, pupils learn about mechanics, aerodynamics, health and fitness, greenhouse gases, and how to work in teams.

Willmott Park is the only school in Hume to offer the program, and Mr Hennessy wants to see more schools involved. During the program, theres a set expectation of behaviour and a lot of students change their behaviour to be part of the program, he said. The students become self-driven; its very positive.

The pocket of land tucked between south-east Asia and Europe is a conundrum to the rest of the world is the Middle East dominated by its rich culture or its displaced people?

Zahrah Habibullah and Ahmad Sabra, of Gladstone Park, travelled to Gaza three years ago and documented three prominent things about the conflict zone hummus, falafel and refugees, all of which are in abundance.

If you want to find a refugee, look for a hummus or falafel shop, Mr Sabra said. [Hummus and falafel] is something that different religious groups have in common the Jews eat it because its kosher; Christians have it because if theyre fasting theres no meat in it; and for Muslims its almost always halal.

The agent that binds them all is not the conflict but the food. So Hummus Falafel Refugees was born an exhibition highlighting the plight of refugees despite its light-hearted name.

Mr Sabra will display portrait photos showing the raw emotions of Palestinians, while Ms Habibullah hopes to invoke discussion with her jewellery and objects.

I dont want an object to be just an object I want it to be an instigator, Ms Habibullah said.

Someones going to be wearing the necklace and someone will be like, What does it mean? and you have a chance to explain about Gaza.

Amid the crumbling infrastructure, Ms Habibullah noted the Palestinians spirits were high. My work pays homage to Palestinian culture, she said. When theyre going through something like war, they need to have some hope or see some light.

The pairs work can be viewed at Gee Lee-Wik Doleen gallery, 75-95 Central Park Avenue, Craigieburn, from September 4-October 27.

If you have the passion for it [music] can be part of your life Fred Leduc

NORTHERN.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU EDUCATION


No sooner had he started learning to play the guitar than Fred Leduc almost gave it up. The 15-year-old was jamming with a group of friends, including two who were

much more experienced. He had picked up a guitar for the first time only six months earlier.

I remember one guy getting up and turning my amp off in front of everyone saying, Youre s---, you shouldnt be playing, Leduc says. He was a good friend of mine. He crushed me.

Being humiliated in front of his peers was devastating for the would-be musician. But instead of giving up, he used it as motivation to improve.

I went home that night, I looked at my guitar, I was emotional about it and I went, Maybe this is not for me, he says. I put my head down, and I was watching TV, and I looked up again and I said: No, Im doing this, Im going to prove them wrong. I tell my students this story; it was at that point where I went, No ones ever going to see me play again until I am ready.

Now an accomplished musician and music teacher at Catholic Ladies College in Eltham, Leduc has never done anything by halves. His CLC program is dynamic and innovative, and he encourages students to be themselves and take risks like he did to pursue a musiccareer.

If you have the passion for it it can be part of your life, he says. Im the prime example of that.

Leduc was born in Melbourne, but his heritage spans much of Europe. His father, Claude, was born in Germany and raised in France, while his mother, Isabelle, was born in Morocco with French heritage. Her mother was born in Spain and her father in France.

Claude, a French butcher, met Isabelle in Australia, where Fred and his sister Danielle were born. They grew up in Melbournes northern suburbs, where Leduc attended Thomastown Meadows Primary School.

It was the days when children played in the street and rode bikes until dinner time. Leduc and his mates spent hours riding around nearby suburbs, exploring local creeks and catching frogs. Music was not on the radar at primary school, apart from the obligatory recorder lessons. Leduc spent years7 to 10 at St Josephs College in Fitzroy North.

I made some really close friends, he says. Inspired by a family friend, he also decided to be a lawyer. But studying law required top marks and as a B+ to A student, Leduc realised achieving his dream would be difficult. It was about that time he discovered the guitar.

That fateful jam session didnt deter the driven teenager, who channelled his energy into mastering the instrument. He took lessons and practised for up to an hour every day, rising to three and then five.

About 18 months later, another mate stumbled upon Leduc playing and was dumbfounded.

He went, Is that you playing? Thats unbelievable, he says. He said, Youre 10 times better than John. John was the friend who had told Leduc he was no good. Within a week John was knocking on my door saying Do you mind if I see you play?. He was blown away. Word soon spread about Leducs talent and there was no holding him back he was on a mission to become a professional musician.

I worked hard. I had the passion, he says.After moving to St Josephs College in North

Melbourne in year 11, Leduc didnt last long. Rather than hit the books, he continued to spend hours perfecting his guitar technique.

Before Term 1 was over he moved to Preston East Technical School, where he joined the music program and completed year 12, combining music with English, computers and art.

Leduc passed, but repeated year 12 before completing an advanced diploma in jazz performance at the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE and a bachelor of music at La

gu

ita

r h

ero This teacher strikes the right note in and out of class, writes CHERYL CRITCHLEY

Trobe University. He also has a CertificateIV in training and assessment.

Leduc started his first band, Vaudeville (later Vauxdvihl), at 18. It played original progressive metal, securing a contract with Japanese record label Zero Corporation. The bands only album, To Dimension Logic, was released in 1994 and is considered a genre classic. Praised as one of the best recordings of its type, it was recently re-released in Germany.

Inspired by his jazz course, Leduc then played with a funk cover band and has produced albums of his own compositions in a range of styles from flamenco guitar to adult contemporary, pop, and film scores.

In 1995, he started teaching private music lessons. That was my introduction to teaching little kids to adults to police officers, he says. I loved it.

Leduc was so keen that he had to restrain himself after bombarding his first young student with information. He soon realised that he needed to start with the basics and gradually introduce concepts and ideas.

After joining another band, Melody Cool, Leduc met the woman he would marry, Kate. Together they played a range of musical styles and toured Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. Among other things, they played for an Elvis Presley tribute show, Elvis Makes His Mark.

Leduc is also a talented sound engineer and has been endorsed by Lab Systems amplifiers and Takamine Guitars. It was a good lifestyle, he says. We did

everything. We did gigs at Crown, everywhere.They made good money but when he decided

to have a family daughters Jett and Banjo are now eight and six Leduc completed his diploma of education at the University of Melbourne and settled into full-time teaching. After two years at Penola Catholic College, he moved to CLC in 2007.

One of the things that impressed him was the freedom the schools principal, Margaret McKenna, allowed him to be creative as a teacher and later music manager. CLC has about 20 bands, up from three in 2007. The program has widened to include a VCE VET music course that has about 30 students. CLC also offers tertiary level Certificate IV courses.

Since 2012, CLC students have made their music in the state-of-the-art Sister Una McAllister Centre, named after the late former principal who moved the school from East Melbourne to Eltham in the 1970s. The centre has several music studios, performance rooms and instrumental tute rooms. Upstairs is a beautiful modern chapel with sculptures, stained-glass windows and a grand piano perfect for intimate performances.

Its an ideal creative environment and has inspired several initiatives. This year Leduc, now 40, and three other teachers joined 32 students on a Queensland tour of concert, junk (jazz/funk), folk, contemporary rock and acoustic bands. The girls organised their own gigs and composed the music, which they performed in malls, markets and Dreamworld.

Everything Leduc does is designed to be relevant and develop independent artists. Next year he wants Certificate IV students to plan a tour. I say to these girls, Im pushing you to be independent, he says, because that will open up the doors for you.

This passionate musician, who also plays the bass, drums and saxophone, treads the tightrope of encouraging his students while opening their eyes to the realities of showbiz. Thanks to reality TV, many young people aspire to be famous and not always for the right reasons. Leduc tells them a career in music is possible. Theres ways of making money, youve just got to be versatile, he says. If youre passionate about it, eventually money will come.
