THE ADVANCED GROUP

CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES The most effective strategy you could implement to control costs and optimise required essential services for your projects in 2020.

TENDERING | From the very beginning our tendering teams work with our clients’ estimators to provide accurate rate modelling to assist them in winning more tenders. PRE-WORKS | Temporary Fencing and Perimeter sediment control are professionally installed by our field teams along with other environmental controls as part of the site establishment works before construction commences. CIVILS | Pit and Pipe cable infrastructure, sub-soil drainage, safety fencing and flagging are just a few of the many products we professionally install during the civil works phase of the project.

CONSTRUCTION | Once construction has commenced, we provide a number of regular scheduled and programmed services required to keep the site safe and clean. NETWORK & DATA CABLING | Our specialist data technicians live and breathe network technologies and install state of the art systems to achieve exceptional results in their field.

LANDSCAPING | As completion of the project nears, it makes sense to have the surrounding gardens and vegetation get the best start to life as well. COMPLETION CLEANING | Upon completion, thorough and detailed cleaning of all surfaces, carpets, windows, paths and carparks are coordinated to bring the new building to its optimum appearance for handover.

FOCUS

From the Principal

As I sit to write for our magazine, bushfires rage across multiple states, homes are being reduced to rubble, lives in ruin, lives lost, and the most devastating destruction to our environment has occurred. The reality is that our landscape is constantly changing, but the devastation and the speed with which these fires have torn through our country are unprecedented and their impact immeasurable. As I was thinking about the long-lasting impact of these disasters on lives and our environment, I was reminded of the following two passages from Clancy of the Overflow;

There is no doubt that in many respects we are fortunate to live in the time we do, but there are many times when I also feel that we have lost something special. Australians are generous, and the way in which so many communities have come together to support those so deeply affected by the fires has been inspirational and a reminder of our heritage. It is my hope that our leaders will listen to the calling of these communities and make a start to address the significant challenges that lie ahead. The path forward will not be easy, but change will be needed if we are to address the issues we have indeed created.

In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy Gone a-droving `down the Cooper’ where the Western drovers go; As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing, For the drover’s life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars, And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wond’rous glory of the everlasting stars. This is no longer the image we see of our beloved land before us, and sadly not one we will see return in these regions for some time.

The complexity of the solution requires a multi-faceted approach to the care of our environment and a fresh think-tank on future economic directions.

In so many regards we are fortunate to live in a time of such prosperity, one with such technological advances, one with such opportunity – a time with many more comforts than the generations before us. It is however a time in which the simplicity of life has disappeared; one in which our genuine connections with others have significantly changed amid the busyness of our lives; and one in which we can be so easily blind to the beauty of a sunset or the ‘vision splendid’ of a sunlit plain.

Like many, I am hopeful. I long for generations yet to come to be able to read poetry like that above and be able to relate to the ‘murmur of the breezes’, the ‘sunlit plains’, and the ‘wond’rous glory of the everlasting stars’. This is the land that I know and one that holds a very special place in my heart.

this ever be possible? We need to listen to our youth; we need to hear their concerns; we need to have a genuine conversation around the issues that truly matter to us and learn the many lessons from our history – both successes and failures. As this edition of Vision Splendid celebrates the leadership and strength of both current and former students and the farewelling of the Class of 2019, we can read and have optimism in the strength, conviction and ability of our students. Our graduates have succeeded in so many fields and are now working throughout the world in positions of influence; and with the mindset of our Mission, have the opportunity to lead change. I commend this issue of Vision Splendid to you, wish you a wonderful year ahead and hope that as members of our direct and extended community, you too share in Banjo’s connection and love of the ‘murmur of the breezes’, the ‘sunlit plains’ and the ‘wond’rous glory of the everlasting stars’.

Brian Grimes Executive Principal/Chief Executive Officer

The key to our future is leadership and one that takes a long-term view of our future, and not merely until the next election. Will

Outward Bound Year 9 Camp

Year 9 Outward Bound Camp certainly turned out to be memorable, for so many reasons. It was the first time Year 9 participated in the Outward Bound experience, it was the largest number of A.B. Paterson College students actively involved in the camp and the first time for many years that Outward Bound was scheduled in Winter. Most importantly though it was truly a memorable camp for all students who took part. Apart from camping in picturesque landscape just north of Uki in northern New South Wales, students were given the opportunity to try many new things. Whilst cooking and washing up may have been firsts for some, for many the opportunity to abseil, jump from a platform high above the trees and mountain bike through dense bush were the real highlights of the six-day camp. Vision Splendid page 10


Outward Bound made me realise to always live for the little things in life. On this camp, I learned to live for the 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets, where you will see colours in the sky that don’t usually belong. I learned to live for the bus rides and long drives with music in my ears – whether it comes from the radio or our own vocal cords. I now live for the days when I’m surrounded by my favourite people who make me realise that the world is not a cold, harsh place and even though at times it may be, I’ll never be alone! I now live for the little things because they will make me realise that this is what life is about; this is what it means to be alive. Outward Bound made me realise this more profoundly, and I will always be grateful for the experience. I now finally understand why such an adventure would be compulsory. Thank you! Grace Lahood, Year 9 Outward Bound was amazing. Extremely challenging, yes, but a truly incredible experience, nonetheless. I was surprised to find how cold some of the nights were, and how well the people in my hiking group gelled as a team. The whole group came together and encouraged each other throughout the camp, which ultimately helped us enjoy it even more. The lessons and values that I learned and gained on camp will forever be seared into my brain. Trust me, there’s no way I can see the taste of those wraps fading from my mind any time soon. Soraya Comley, Year 9 The pack was painful. You become extraordinarily dirty. My hands were clean from washing them but everything above that was covered in ash and soot from the fire. My hands would need to heal from firewood splinters and burn marks from trying to rearrange the fire at night. One night, while searching for firewood, two friends and I spent an hour depriving a tree, that had fallen near the path, of any branch able to be ripped off and carried away. Dealing with a large group is hard. A patch of madness claimed someone in our group. After falling over, one student slid down a hill on a wok! While the days were long and tiring, all these bad experiences became good ones and you learn to respect what you have at home. Alex Roberts, Year 9 Outward Bound will be one of the most memorable experiences here at the College. The camp has taught us to be grateful for the things that we consider to be basic such as shelter, warmth and hygiene. Throughout the week, the activities helped our group bond and encourage one another, especially when we were hiking up Heartbreak Hill. Although OB was physically and mentally challenging, it taught us the importance of initiative and teamwork by pushing us out of our comfort zones. Hyojoo Park, Year 9 Outward Bound camp had reached into every individual and the group as a whole; for once we had a chance to act in an outdoor environment with different types of people. The camp was nothing short of excellent, thanks to the guidance of our group teacher and instructor. The group went from canoeing, climbing Heartbreak Hill, hiking long distances with packs, mountain biking, lumberjacking with mates and – the hardest of all – dish washing. Days were long, rough and back wrenching while also full of laughter, adventure and most of all the encouragement everyone needed to pull through while nights included warm fires, hot chocolate and priceless stories. Outward Bound made me realise what I am capable of, not only in outdoor situations, and mentally prepared me for challenges ahead. Every person was pushed out of their comfort zone and began appreciating their life and warm home 100 kilometres away. Thank you to the teachers and camp instructors who sacrificed their time to ensure everyone created memories that will stay with them forever.

Holding Tight to an Olympic Dream As Class of 2019 graduate and Empowering Young Women’s Award finalist, Tahlia Dilkes walked onto the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre stage in October 2019, to thunderous applause, she was already a winner – even before the big announcement was made.

‘Shocked, overwhelmed and excited,’ is how Tahlia recalls feeling when her name was read out as the winner of this prestigious award, ‘and extremely humbled. Listening to the stories of so many incredible women around me was truly inspiring, and I was not expecting this award at all.’

Her place on that stage, being recognised by Gold Coast Women in Business and some of the city’s most inspiring female leaders, had been hard-earned. Over recent years, a nasty back injury and an emergency operation had played havoc with her training and competition schedule, but not once did this charismatic champion lose sight of her dream to, one day, swim for Australia at an Olympic Games.

‘This is a great honour and something that I will never forget! I remember walking onto the stage and standing amongst the other impressive finalists, my heart beating at 100 miles an hour as we waited in anticipation. When my name was announced as the winner, I was just trying to hold back the tears of excitement and did not know what to say or do as I was in complete shock!’

Vision Splendid page 14

When you read through the list of Tahlia’s sporting achievements over

the past few years – including being crowned 2018 Surf Lifesaving World Champion – it would be easy to assume that that alone is what the judging panel had recognised and rewarded. But when asked why she believes her named was called out, Tahlia replies ‘it was because of the way I held myself together and overcame many obstacles.’ ‘I was nominated for this award because of the mental and physical barriers I have faced, and pushed through,’ she says. ‘A few years ago, a back injury forced me out of the pool for three months. This time was extremely tough, both mentally and physically, as all I wanted to do was swim.’ ‘It took many, many months of rehabilitation to return to full fitness and strength and it was amazing to be able to


come out the other side and still qualify to swim at the 2018 Commonwealth Games Trials.’ ‘I went on to compete at the 2018 World Surf Lifesaving Championships and became an Individual World Champion! This year I received a silver medal at the 2019 Australian Swimming Championships, only to come home and be hospitalised a few weeks later.’ ‘I was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent surgery, which unfortunately meant I had to pull out of the 2019 World Swimming Championships. I have now spent the past six months recovering.’ It took grit, determination and a never give up attitude to carry on – an attitude that, she says, has been forged by her experiences at A.B. Paterson College.

Tahlia certainly made her mark during her school years – not least of all by setting a string of College records in the pool, while also becoming a 2019 College Leader, a Gold Award recipient for The Duke of Edinburgh’s (DoE) International Award, and College Baton Bearer for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay, to name just a few achievements. ‘Over the years I have endeavoured to rise to any challenge and take every opportunity that came my way. Sometimes those experiences will be hard, but they will help you become the best version of yourself.’ ‘No matter how hard life gets, I believe there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I have always had the goal of representing Australia at the Olympic

Games and this award reaffirms for me that I am on the right track.’ ‘I want to use the opportunities given to me, as a result of winning this award, to spread positivity within the community and to inspire other young women to keep chasing their dreams, setting goals and achieving them. Nothing is impossible – the only person who stands in the way of your dreams is you.’ ‘Everybody goes through challenges and setbacks in life however, it is the people who refuse to give up who will ultimately be rewarded. How you choose to face hurdles will determine the type of person you become, and how successful you are.’ We can’t wait to see just how far Tahlia will go.

Invisible No More In the office of Head of Dennis House, Peter Brookes hangs an artwork – a reminder to find the silver lining in the challenges that life throws at you. The artist is not famous, but she has certainly made her mark. The artwork was a thank you from Class of 2013 graduate, Katie Small who – with the help of dedicated teachers – finally packed away her protective cloak of invisibility, found her voice and a passion in life to nurture confidence in children branded stupid or slow. Here, Katie looks back at the pivotal moments during her education at A.B. Paterson College that led to the discovery of her superpower.

When I was 8 years old I had the reading, numeracy and literacy capacity of a 4 year old. My parents were told time and time again, ‘Katie should try harder!’ Invisibility became my survival mechanism because my brain didn’t, and doesn’t, suit the standard world of education. I truly believed that if no one saw me, and no one heard me, they wouldn’t ask me questions and find out the truth... that I was dumb. Some may think that invisibility is a kind of superpower, but the truth is when you have a learning difficulty, you want, and learn how, to be invisible. It’s not a superpower and it can actually be pretty debilitating. In one swoop you become powerless, voiceless and after a while you start to believe that you actually are invisible. My diagnosis of severe dyslexia, dysgraphia and visual sensory issues was a very significant moment in my life because it was the day experts put a name to what I was feeling. Vision Splendid page 16

I wasn’t Stupid, Dumb, Slow; I was Dyslexic. However, it also meant I was going to be put in the ‘Special’ class at schools. Yet another LABEL that other kids can target you with, so you never forget you are different. In Year 7, I started attending A.B. Paterson College where I had an amazing English teacher who adapted her teaching to suit my learning style. For a child who will never be able to sight read properly, or spell, having English as my favourite subject was incredible. With her help and the College’s many Cocurricular activities such as Speech and Drama, Zenith Public Speaking Club and Debating, I learnt how to improvise, to think on my feet and train my brain to memorise speeches. One of the biggest issues with someone who has a learning difficulty is their total lack of selfbelief. I truly needed teachers to mentor, guide and believe in me. They did, so I was able to work harder and more effectively. HPE Teacher, Mr Peter Brookes believed


in me, taught me resilience and gave me the confidence that if I pushed myself that little bit harder, I could achieve my goals. He is a big reason why I now think it is so important for me to help give other young people a voice, especially young people who have a learning difference.

my disability yet I have spent all of my life having to explain myself, and why I might do some things ‘different’ to the ‘normal’ way. My learning difference is my identity and – although it has taken me a long time to accept that - it is what makes me who I am, and that is okay.

I feel privileged to have been guided by my teachers. They worked with me to understand my learning style, to experiment with it and discover how I could develop this further into my studies, especially in relation to Art. I am a visual learner and because of this I thrived in Art when I had the ability to question and express myself.

So far my journey has seen me achieve a double degree in Human Services and Media and Communications. I am currently employed as a Child Safety Officer for the Department of Children’s Services in Toowoomba, where I work with an extraordinary team of people who support and mentor me as well as their clients. I am currently studying for a double Masters in Social Work and Mental Health.

I know that I was fortunate to have this support, but sadly not everyone has this privilege and not everybody has someone to believe in them. It just takes one person to believe in a child, especially a child with a learning difference, and to help them believe in themselves. With this self-belief they can create so many possibilities. What makes my disability so debilitating at times is the fact that nobody can see it; I am the only one who can understand

in all circumstances. Attending the event were numerous ministers and parliamentarians, including the Deputy Premier, Education Minister, Minister for Child Safety, Youth and Women and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, along with members of the Board of Education. My greatest goal in life is to give a voice to the many invisible children. I want them to understand that they are not dumb, that they can achieve anything in life, and that their goals are not unrealistic; they just learn differently and they see things differently. This is their superpower! Katie Small Class of 2013

I was fortunate to be asked to be a guest speaker, firstly at a Nero-Diversity Symposium on dyslexia and, most recently, at Queensland Parliament House where we celebrated 50 years of SPELD (supporting people experiencing learning differences). SPELD supports all individuals experiencing learning differences so that they may realise their full potential Vision Splendid page 17


Through the Looking Glass – A Photographic Journey of Discovery

Throughout my professional career, working in a variety of international institutions, one thing has remained a constant – my passion for photography, though some might say it’s an obsession. For me it has underpinned my educational and teaching philosophy, particularly those related to photographic and digital imaging technologies. We are witnessing a revolution in photography, thanks to digital technology, that makes it more democratic, allowing for vast quantities of photographs to be taken by so many individuals. However, what is the impact on photography as a creative medium? Vision Splendid page 18

Camera skills have become diminished because of the comfort of trial and error that modern cameras provide. It seems the snap-happy nature of modern photography is a mindless exercise in recording the triviality of day to day events. We are taking pictures rather than living in the moment, and that makes us experientially poorer. Do we even remember the stuff we take pictures of? We take photographs of food rather than considering its taste. We take photographs of live concerts rather than listening to the music and watching the band, and of course the narcissistic nature of the smartphone is dominated by the selfie, a cultural

phenomenon. Our throwaway society dictates that images are taken, viewed and quickly forgotten. I have shoe boxes at home full of printed photographs, a reminder of a time when you put film in a camera, took 24 or 36 pictures and had the pictures processed at a chemist and the images returned to you as 6x4 inch prints in a packet accompanied by neatly cut strips of negatives. So, when it comes to picture taking skills, I am certainly ‘old school’. I was part of a photographic era where you went into a darkroom to create images utilising techniques first used a hundred and fifty years previously at the birth of photography; where photographs were


created using chemicals in a dimly lit room where the only light source was a red bulb. Creating pictures was a much more carefully considered process. Nowadays, it is a scattergun approach to taking pictures. People snap away thinking, ‘one of these shots will work’, rather than concentrating on capturing the image. Anyone with a smartphone can take a technically sound picture, but not everyone can create an image that makes people stop, think, and feel. Of course, not all technology should be viewed in a negative way. Indeed, teaching using contemporary creative, innovative and design initiatives are key components of my day to day classroom practise. I feel very fortunate that, in addition to working as a teacher and lecturer for over 30 years, I have also had a very successful career as a photographer. This experience adds value to my teaching and gives me credibility amongst my students as a successful and practicing professional in my teaching areas. In fact, it was as a student at school that I first became interested in photography. Rather than drawing and sketching the landscape for reference material for a painting, I decided to capture the same scene as a photographic image instead.

Eventually, the photograph became more important than the painting and my passion for photography was born. Since then, I have written over 50 illustrated articles on many photographic and digital imaging topics which have been published in Australian, American and European journals, while my photographs have also been exhibited as part of solo and group shows across Europe, Australia, the Middle East and Asia. Most recently my photographs were exhibited at the Blank Wall Gallery in Athens, Greece. My real passion lies in travel photography and photographing people as I travel the globe. Currently I have visited over 70 countries, recording the day to day activities of the people and cultures I encounter. The pictures I take have been very successful, as part of photography competitions and awards. Whilst, I have been known to take a selfie on my travels, it tends to be if I am somewhere awesome and there is no one to take my picture. For those obsessed by ‘the selfie’ I offer you some practical advice to improving your picture taking skills.

First, look for natural frames, such as trees, archways and windows as you compose the picture. Additional elements in the picture frame help to create context and isolate the main subject from any distracting elements. Second, when we look at photographs, our eyes follow lines - diagonal, horizontal, vertical and converging lines all impact images differently. Look for lines while framing a shot and then use them to strengthen it, allowing the viewer to follow them as they explore the pictures you have created. Third, photographs lack impact if the main subject is lost among the clutter of its surroundings. Always try to get as close to the subject as possible. Tight cropping allows the subject to get the undivided attention of the viewer. Finally, consider alternative viewpoints to eye level – take photographs from above, at ground level, from the side or back. Change the perception, shoot from a distance or from close up. Whilst this is not an exhaustive list of helpful tips it will help in beginning the process to improve your picture taking skills. Good luck and happy snapping!
