Christie’s story
One of the toughest things for jobseekers who have been out of work for a while is regaining their confidence. Christie Robinson knows this only too well. Although she was very keen to work, and would be an asset to any workplace, her confidence was low. This, coupled with her anxiety and lack of belief in herself held her back from long term employment. Red Cross Employment Services Pialba began working with Christie, ascertaining what she would like to do, and where she would be most comfortable. Red Cross Employment Services began speaking to employers about Christie’s keen nature, and her valuable experience. One of these employers was Torbay Retirement Villages Limited at Torquay. Torbay was looking for employees to fill domestic roles and asked to meet with Christie. Although Christie was not suited to this particular position, Torbay’s HR Department immediately saw potential in Christie and of offered her the opportunity to take on the role of kitchenhand. Christie’s positive nature despite having low confidence and knockbacks was contagious.

A healthy outlook and a positive attitude have given life to a brand new business in Maryborough. Yellow Gecko Café in upper Adelaide Street across from the RSL club started operating a couple months ago and has already drawn many regular customers. The café has a broad range of healthy foods for takeaway or dine in. Chef Toni Powell has used her 15 plus years of experience in the food industry to keep the quality high. Toni and her sister, Naomi Franks, originally from Brisbane, chose Maryborough to set up their business because of the family lifestyle the city had to offer. “It was great to get away from the city and settle in a quiet town to raise kids,’’ Naomi said. Yellow Gecko Café’s fare includes breakfasts, salads, quiches, focaccias, muffins, scones, cookies, sandwiches, wraps and fresh juices . . . all made on the premises. “Even the wraps are made here,’’ Naomi said. The café also can put together platters of goodies for such occasions as business or group meetings. “And we also offer free deliv-

ery to the CBD area for lunch orders.’’ The business has plenty of room for lunch-time diners and the area can be used as a meeting venue out of hours, Naomi said. “We are open from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, but we can set up to cater for gatherings before or after work.’’ The sisters know the value that work experience can offer and have provided opportunities to three young people. Two school-based trainees and an apprentice are benefitting from Naomi’s customer
service experience and Toni’s time working in restaurants, café and hotels on the Gold Coast. The business is young but Toni and Naomi are already looking at other ideas to build their clientele. School lunch is the next item on the menu, and they are busy putting together ideas that will see healthy and affordable options for parents to provide for their little darlings. Yellow Gecko Café is located at 153 Adelaide Street and they can be contacted on 4122 2796.

Tide turning for Woolworths Maryborough Woolworths Maryborough will not be just another supermarket when it opens its revamped store in Maryborough later this year. The outlet on the corner of Sussex and Adelaide streets will be another of Woolworths’ ultra-modern “2015” stores. The store, a victim of the floods earlier this year, has been undergoing a massive revamp with residents guessing as to when it would reopen. Chris Loft, Maryborough businessman and Fraser Coast councillor, said the re-opening would be a great shot in the arm for Maryborough. “It’s going to be worth the wait,’’ Chris said. “I have been told that the store will open on November 13.’’
“Woolworths is going to reopen with the latest in modern supermarket design. “Obviously they have confidence in the future of Maryborough.’’ A spokesperson for Woolworths confirmed that the store was on target to open by the end of the year. She said because of unknown factors such as the weather the company could not commit to a specific date. “Original plans were to re-open earlier,’’ she said. “But it was decided to revamp the outside of the store as well. “That pushed it back until the end of 2013.’’ The store will feature wider aisles, a market-feel fresh area, a bakery, a deli counter, a seafood counter, six

Recognition for flood help by Glendyne teacher When Carinity Education – Glendyne teacher Robert Taylor (pictured) went to help save caravans and sandbag units during this year’s floods in Maryborough, he never expected any accolades for his work. Recently Mr Taylor was presented with a Community Champion Award by the Fraser Coast Council at Maryborough City Hall for his efforts on one afternoon in February. Noticing a number of caravans at a local caravan park under threat from the rising Mary River, the 36-year-old set about saving them. “A man and his son came with a 12 tonne excavator, so we all waded in with chains to find something to tie them around, and then started pulling out the caravans. They were home to residents who had evacuated at the time,” he said. “We saved four of the caravans. I called out to two friends, and we sandbagged some of the park’s units later. The Mary River peaked at 10.8 metres, but if it had gone up another metre, the units would have been flooded.” Mr Taylor and his friends were also called upon to rescue the park owner’s tractor, which was submerged except for the tip of its exhaust. The 36-year-old has worked for four years at Carinity Education – Glendyne (formerly Glendyne Education and Training Centre), an independent, co-educational school at Nikenbah. He is one of the caring staff providing an alternative and practical education for young people in Years 6 to 12, who are at risk of disengaging from education. School Principal Dale Hansen says Mr Taylor also has an exemplary reputation amongst his students – as caring and supportive.
Ooh la la, oh so French!!! The theme of this year’s Bastille Day celebrations at Xavier Catholic College, Different People, Different Places was reflected in all aspects of the festivities. Students from all year levels came dressed in historical or cultural costumes or in a creative combination of French colours. The college grounds were transformed into a different place as characters such as Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Madeline, French chef, artists and cyclists, the Three Musketeers and more arrived to participate in the celebrations. The college choir provided a stirring rendition of the song, Different People, Different Places, as part of the very moving liturgy which was the introduction for the day. The energetic performance provided by the year 6 students of one of their favourite songs, Comment Ça Va, demonstrated that different people have many different ways of expressing how they feel. What followed was a very enter-
taining version of Astérix and Obélix ‘s incredible journey through France, performed by the Senior French students. The two main characters kept their audience amused with their witty repartee launched at the characters they encountered during their journey through the ages:, the Montgolfier brothers, Henri Desgrange, Napoleon and a host of Disney characters fresh from Euro Disneyland. The highlight of the Escargot anyone?

Kiara’s story . . . Kiara Rodwell relocated to Maryborough 9 months ago with the main objective of getting a job.She knew that it would take hard work, commitment and a positive attitude. This year Kiara worked really hard to complete her Certificate II in Business. This improved Kiara’s confidence and drive to gain employment. Kiara worked very hard with her Sarina Russo Job Access employment consultant Audra to address any barriers that may affect her chances of gaining employment. She attended job searching, goal setting and interview technique classes and this payed off when the opportunity came to apply for a position with McDonalds in Maryborough.
Katy Barnes (Assistant Manager Sarina Russo Job Access), Kiara Rodwell, and Tony Keenan (McDonalds Maryborough Store Manager)
She was successful in gaining an interview and then had the confidence and skills to successfully win the interview and gain casual employment.
Since Kiara has commenced employment at McDonalds Maryborough her confidence has improved. Kiara says she loves her new job. And recently Kiara was rewarded at work with a customer service award. Over the past few months McDonalds Maryborough have offered seven Sarina Russo Job Access jobseekers employment both front and back of house. Last month Kiara was successful in achieving another of her goals- to gain her provisional driver’s licence. This is a beginning of great things for Kiara and a true testament to setting achievable and measurable goals and striving to achieve them.
Aldridge does well in meat judging Year 10 and 11 Agriculture students from Aldridge recently performed admirably in the Intercollegiate Meat Judging Competition held at Nolan’s Meatworks in Gympie recently. As one of only three competitions of the calibre held around Australia each year students were able to gain excellent industry experience at a leading SEQ meatworks. The competition requires students to place whole carcasses in order based on quality, judge short loins and identify primal cuts. In terms of judging quality, students must consider meat and fat colour, marbling, yield and fat coverage. Special mention should go to seniors Chelsea Robinson and Justin Coyne who won two individual classes and Dannielle Nitschinsk Natalie Kirby, Chelsea Robinson and Justin Coyne who took out three team events. Chelsea also placed second overall.

Tutorials target great results in Maths B and C Wide Bay Institute of TAFE (WBIT) is offering after-school tutorials in both Maths B and C that are designed to fit in with student’s needs. For many students doing high-end Maths B and C can be quite a challenge but being able to complete the subjects with great results can be very rewarding. The tutorials are being conducted by the highly experienced and respected maths teacher Mr Haiyi Wu. WBIT decided on offering an afterschool tuition service after research showed the need for it in the region.
Global wisdom
“The tutorials will offer two distinct methods of delivery,” Mr Wu said. “The first for local students from the Fraser Coast region will be face-to-face in room E6 at the Hervey Bay Campus of WBIT in Urraween Road. “The second method is designed for students who do not reside in the Hervey Bay area but who would like to have some extra tuition in what can be a complicated subject. “In this method of delivery the tuition is delivered to the student’s home via web conferencing and it is referred to as webinar. “To utilise this method it is necessary

for the student to have access to a computer, high speed internet connection and a headset with a microphone.” Mr Wu said the new WBIT initiative had many advantages over conventional maths tutors. “Maths B and C are very specialised subjects and we are able to approach them by integrating the pure maths theories combined with computer software technologies. “The maximum class size will be only 15 students which allow time for the students to ask any questions they may have. “From a cost perspective they compare more than favourably with private tuition.
“The cost of the face-to-face option is only $195 and the cost of the webinar is $170 Mr Wu said the topics were in line with all schools Maths B and C curriculum and would be conducted over a 10 week period. Mr Wu said the face-to-face option would be conducted each Thursday from 4pm to 5pm while the webinar option would be conducted every Wednesday from 4.30pm until 5.30pm. and courses would begin on August 7. “This WBIT initiative will give students of Math C and B the best chance of achieving the outcomes they deserve.” For more information and enrolment contact WBIT on 1300 656 188.
Training for a better future “We take pride in delivering a large range of nationally recognised training courses to meet the needs of our community”. WBIT Our flexible programs offer the depth of training required by industry to meet the demands of the workplace, from Certificate 2 to Diploma Level our highly qualified teachers take the time to give you the information you need to be successful in the career of your choice.

FC Sport precinct a real winner
Business opportunities thrive at USQ Fraser Coast
The Fraser Coast Sport and Recreation Precinct is a key economic development priority says David Spear. ‘It’s forecast to create at least 38 jobs ongoing for the construction period, adding $11.5M in economic activity each year over that time frame. It’s also projected to create more than 130 new ongoing jobs in tourism, accommodation, food services and retail, and an increase in annual economic activity of about $17.3M when the first stage is competed’ he continued. ‘It will deliver a sports and recreation events precinct attracting State and National Championship standard events – substantially boosting direct and repeat visitor numbers to the Fraser Coast. Tourism Fraser Coast Chairman and FCO Board Member, David Hay, supports Mr Spear’s position, pointing out the significant economic benefits created for the tour. ‘Over 4000 people attended the recent Queensland Junior Touch Football Cup, with an economic impact of 21 jobs and an additional $2.7M in annual economic output, Mr Hay said.
Little fish mean a big difference By Councillor Chris Loft Small Business, Manufacturing & Service Industry
USQ Fraser Coast welcomed more than 100 business people to its Executive Suite recently for Hervey Bay’s monthly networking event at which Mayor Gerard O’Connell launched Fraser Coast Opportunities and introduced General Manager David Spear. Campus Executive Manager Brett Langabeer said the highly successful event attracted about 30 more people than the same event last October. “These social events offer valuable networking opportunities for USQ management and staff to engage with the local business community,” Mr Langabeer said. “On this occasion it was even more significant with Fraser Coast Opportunities being launched at USQ.” Fraser Coast Opportunities is a partnership between the Fraser Coast Regional Council, Urban Development Institute of Australia (Fraser Coast), the Chambers of Commerce and the Economic Development and Enterprise Collaboration Unit of the University of Southern Queensland (USQ). Business Hervey Bay gives business people a chance to mix and mingle, make friends and catch up in a friendly, social atmosphere. LEFT: Fraser Coast Opportunities General Manager David Spear talks about the region’s future at USQ Fraser Coast on Friday, July 19.
The Sports and Recreation Precinct project has been highlighted as a key economic development priority by Fraser Coast Opportunities (FCO) general manager David Spear. David said the project would create at least 38 ongoing jobs for the construction period and more than 130 new jobs in tourism, accommodation, food services and retail. It was also pointed out by FCO director Glen Winney that the standard of the new facilities would mean we would be able to compete to secure key state and national carnivals. While plans are underway to secure such projects for our future, I believe we could also do our bit to catch the little fish out there. I’m talking about luring those ordinary – and not so ordinary – clubs and organisations that have get-togethers and competitions that cater to people from all walks of life. The amount of car clubs across the country is amazing. How many emerging sports such as lawnmowing racing have clubs looking for venues to hold their national meetings?
Then there are passions belonging to the arts, crafts, mechanics and culture. We really don’t know what’s out there until we look. Perhaps we could have one person or a group of citizens scanning regional and community newspapers across the country via the internet. They could search for media releases and news items about such community groups and then feed the information to Fraser Coast Opportunities. We know the Fraser Coast has the potential with its climate and amazing venues such as the City Hall, the showgrounds, and our beautiful beaches and parks . . . so let’s test the waters.
Future for Maryborough Airport From the Mayor, Cr Gerard O’Connell, Economic Development Portfolio Councillor The potential to develop the Maryborough Airport has been identified and mapped out in the Fraser Coast Airports Master Plan 2011- 2031 part 3 Maryborough Airport Master Plan. Currently the airport is focused around maintenance activities, flight training, freight services and homebased and fly-in fly-out aviation traffic. There is potential to accommodate additional aviation related businesses, especially for general aviation or as the base of an Airpark Precinct which would provide critical mass the maintenance industry, fuel sales, flight training and potentially create demand for new operators to enter the market.
The intent of the Master Plan is to provide a guide for future development of the airport and to promote compatible development and use of lands affected by airport operations. The Master Plan identifies the following aviation related industries and services: • Flying school operations; • Fly in/Fly out charter operations supporting the Mining industry; • Aviation maintenance; • Airpark Precinct An opportunity exists in the potential to develop an Airpark Precinct. Airparks provide aircraft owners with the opportunity to build a residence and hangar on the same land parcel and/or within a single building. The airport has been divided into a number of precincts. The Van Tessel and Hillman Pre-
cincts are intended for: • General aviation and related service and support activities; and • Light aviation industry and freight services. • Future aviation industry developments which require airside accessibility; and • Commercial activities that will contribute to the economic viability of the airport and the development of the aviation industry within the region. The areas northwest and southwest of the terminal have been designated for future light or heavy leasehold industry aviation developments. The area would accommodate about 10 x 1000 – 2000m2 lots with potential for airside access and a taxiway at the northern end. The development of the site will depend on the demand. The Hecker Precinct could be suitable for: • A factory and clearance outlet complex; NEWS

Maryborough St The Arts
2013 has been a fantastic year so far in the Arts, with many opportunities for student showcases and successes. In addition to the wide array of activities students participate in during class, the extra-curricular arts experiences did not fail to engage and entertain. One of the big highlights for 2013 to date was our annual Music, Art, Dance and Drama (M.A.D.D) evening. Students were able to display their art, perform solo and group acts, and celebrate the wealth of talent at our school.
Classroom with a view
Sunday 6th of May was a special treat for the senior Aerospace Studies students from Maryborough SHS as they had the opportunity to go gliding. Students and parents took to the sky for a 30 minute joy flight thanks to the Gympie Gliding Club. The students learnt the workings of a glider and experienced the exhilaration of a winch launch to 2000 feet in height in 20 seconds on a 450 angle. The students were able to be hands-on and learnt how to turn and how to work the control services of the glider.
Marine Studies
Students in Marine Studies participate in an annual camp. The camp provides students with the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to practical activities within the marine environment. Students consolidate their boating skills and many fulfil the requirements necessary for obtaining a boat license. Students study mangroves, navigation, and marine communications in addition to personal water skills which includes snorkelling.
Languages Other Than English Students who are learning the German language also have the opportunity of joining in some specific German craft activities at lunchtimes. This gives them a greater insight into the culture of the language they are learning. Karneval is a time of celebration and many people dress up in costumes and wear masks. Students decorated masks with feathers, sequins and other materials. Other activities planned are decorating ginger bread, making some traditional German pretzels, Oktoberfest hearts, lanterns for St. Martin’s Day and of course some Christmas activities yet to be planned.
Hospitality
Maryborough State High has it’s own training restaurant and students who enrol in the hospitality course cater for a wide variety of functions held within the centre. This year, Executive Chef, Klaus Schaefer, shared his years of expertise with our Year 11 Maryborough hospitality students to guide them in learning knife skills essential for students seeking careers in the Hospitality industry in kitchen operations.
Sporting Teams
Eight teams went to Brisbane for the South Queensland Futsal titles.
Outdoor Education
This is a course for students that provide opportunities to learn a range of skills in outdoor pursuits as well as running a business in the recreation industry. Students will be required to plan and participate in a camping expedition. The course reinforces self-esteem, confidence, safe practice and provides an environment where students can explore their personal limits, develop organisational skills and learn to recognise the value of group participation and respect for others.

tate High School Junior Secondary
This year Maryborough State High embarked on the first stage of introducing Junior Secondary. To begin with there has been a complete refurbishment of an area of the school that has become the junior secondary area. This refurbishment has ensured that classrooms have flexible furniture and a designated flexible learning area is available for creative activities. In addition to this digital technology suitable for 21st century teaching and learning is available in all classrooms for all students. Our teachers are participating in ongoing professional development in areas of eLearning, reading and “The Art and Science of Teaching” which focuses on classroom teaching strategies. There will be further development next year with additional refurbishment of classroom areas and further parent information sessions.
Junior Curriculum and Quality Teaching The curriculum at Maryborough State High School prepares students for the 21st Century. Through our quality teaching programs, our students learn to be digital learners, effective communicators, collaborators, responsible citizens, problem solvers and creators and innovators. Students are extended through our GEM classes and provided with a range of elective and core subjects. Students are able to participate in a range of co-curricular programs ensuring that all students receive a holistic school curriculum.
Distinct Identity
Junior secondary students at Maryborough State High School have a sense of belonging; they feel connected, safe and confident at school. Junior secondary students have their own space, a distinct uniform and dedicated staff. Their own space, the uniform, junior assemblies, junior sport, end of semester awards evening and reward activities all assist in the development of this identity.
Parent and Community Involvement
Our vision is “Working Together Towards Success”. We welcome and encourage parent involvement in our school. Informal day to day communication is essential and we know that student success is greatest when schools, parents and students work together to focus on student learning. All junior secondary students take part in an independent learning pathway meeting where parents, teachers and students plan an individual learning pathway together. This allows us to tailor learning to suit each student. In addition to this, formal parent teacher interviews occur twice per year.
Student Wellbeing
This is a key focus of the Junior Secondary Program at Maryborough State High School. We are committed to providing a safe, caring, learning environment for all students. Year 8 & 9 students have a dedicated Junior Secondary Head of Department and Dean of Students. Staff are available to support students on a daily basis. Heads of Departments are also allocated to set classes, as mentors and for support.
Junior Council Mother’s Day Activity
Junior Secondary Council began this year. The Council enables junior secondary students to have a say in the school and to work together to organise student activities throughout the year. This year, year 11 student mentors supported the junior secondary students with their celebration of Mother’s Day by helping students make cards and small gifts and on Friday May 10th the students spent morning tea and lunchtime handing out the gifts to all ladies who were shopping at Station Square.
Leadership
A number of leadership opportunities are available for junior secondary students. Students are able to apply to be a part of the Junior Secondary Council, train as a peer mentor, take up leadership positions within the sporting houses and as class leaders. Year 11 and 12 student mentors are allocated to connect classes and junior secondary students have the opportunity to participate in a leadership camp.
m.au - Production: ians@globenews.com.au
Developing Young Leaders
Students visited the Kawana Community Centre to participate in the World Vision Global Leaders Conference Kawana 2013. The day included some leadership challenges and enabled the students to work together to plan for World Vision’s 40 Hour Famine this year. Leadership opportunities like these are available in every year level at Maryborough High. Our leadership programs have activities that are both fun and challenging, and are designed to develop leadership potential of all students.
E N R O L N O W
iPad Mini Program
Why iPad Mini? Maryborough State High School has carefully chosen the iPad Mini as the device for our Junior Secondary Program. The iPad Mini is a robust, tactile device which appeals to adolescent learners. It is tough enough to work within a school environment, whilst allowing our students to work within a media-driven society. Students will be able to view media, create media and engage in interactive learning experiences. Unlike laptops, the iPad allows students to still work on their writing ability, whilst being able to have the iPad on their desks as a research tool. Essential writing skills required for exam situations will still be developed whilst being able to work within a digitally rich environment. Having the ability for anytime, anywhere learning is also an added benefit to the program. Students will be able to be digital citizens and benefit from the productivity features of the iPad. They will be able to have their student diaries on the device, texts, calculators, notepads etc. Being light, it will allow students to carry less bulk than a laptop during their day at school.

RATEP at the Jobs and Careers Expo
Horror comes in small package Item 7192 at the Maryborough Military & Colonial Museum, doesn’t take up much space, but its presence is a huge reminder of the horrors of war. The casing and trip mechanism is the remains of a “jumping jack’’ land mine which killed two Australian soldiers in Malaysia in 1965. Private Richard Downes (pictured), from the 3rd Battalion RAR, was on a reconnaissance patrol near the Indonesian-Malay border when he stepped on the mine. The explosion killed him instantly due to horrific injuries. 3 RAR was posted to Borneo during the Indonesian Confrontation of 1962-1966 as part of the Malayan Emergency. Also killed along with Private Downes was Sergeant Vincent P. Vella, the acting platoon commander.
RATEP hosted an information booth at the Fraser Coast Jobs and Careers Expo held at The Brolga. This provided the community-based teacher education program with exposure to students from all the state school and private school students in Years 10/11/12 at one location. Students from a wide variety of schools in Maryborough and Hervey Bay were bussed to the site to experience the information they needed to choose subjects for Year 11 next year and possible courses to study after finishing Year 12. It was not only the students who were able to gain information about possible courses available for study in 2014, but some teachers and parents were also able to find the answers to their questions. Teacher Co-ordinators Jan Sterling (onsite students at Maryborough, and off-site to St George and Roma students this term) and Leigh Payne (offsite students studying online) were able to provide valuable information. Jan mentors students at Maryborough RATEP, while Leigh mentors students from all around Queensland who are not able to access a RATEP site at their location. Many of Leigh’s students are currently working as Teacher Aides in Education Queensland schools, and
Sgt Vellor was a married man from Queenstown, Tasmania. Private Downes joined the Army on February 10, 1964, aged 18 years and 7 months. He was from Bell near Dalby. The museum has the actual mine casing in perfect condition, including the tripping mechanism and also a shrapnel fragment from the explosive which had been embedded in a nearby tree. It was dug up in 1964 by a member of the Assault Pioneer Platoon in 3 RAR after the incident and brought back to Australia. The full story about Private Richard Downes, put together by the museum, can be read at http://globenews.com. au/category/history/ The museum, in Wharf Street, is open 9am to 3pm seven days a week.
this study provides a qualification for these folk. If you are interested in pursuing an interest in the field of education, and are able to verify your Indigenous heritage, then RATEP could be the key to open the door to your future. Contact Jan or Leigh at Maryborough State High School to find out more.

Working hard… Councillor Robert Garland welcomes new employee Paul Kerr to the Regulatory Services team.
Let’s Get Fraser Coast Working is working
Two more participants from the Let’s Get Fraser Coast Working Program have started full time work with Fraser Coast Regional Council. Paul Kerr and Sirpa Hopf recently completed four and seven weeks of voluntary work placement respectively and have since gained paid employment. Paul, who now works in Regulatory Services said he encouraged other job seekers to follow his lead and complete a work placement program. “I made an enquiry through my job agency wanting to do some work experience and within a week it was all organised,” he said. “I worked in Regulatory Services three days a week for four weeks learning how the Council system worked and that obviously gave me a leg up when applications for a new position opened.’’
Sirpa Hopf started by spending two weeks working voluntarily at Council’s works depot in Ellengowan Street. “I followed that up with five weeks full time work placement working in administration with the Cemeteries team,” she said. “I have since been offered a 12-month contract, working on a special project validating the old cemetery records, ensuring all the information is correct and up to date.” Councillor for Community Health, Education & Training Robert Garland said the program enabled students and job seekers to undertake work experience in a range of areas across Council. Twenty people have completed work placement since the program started in February 2012. If you’re interested completing work placement with Council, contact your job services provider.
Jennifer’s Story . . . I recently relocated to Hervey Bay with my 11-year-old daughter and her father from the Northern Territory and having worked since I was 15, mainly in Hospitality, Administration, Finance & Removal Logistics in various different roles. I didn’t think that finding a job in my new home town would be too difficult … how wrong I was! After months of cold calling, business door knocking with my resume and rejected job applications, I was still unemployed and discouraged from the lack of job application acknowledgement and feedback from potential employers. Although I had adequate experience for the positions I was applying for, I had no qualifications to back this experience up and decided that paying to complete at least one qualification to have on my resume was probably my best option for finding work. I contacted BEST Employment Support & Training and with their assistance was enrolled in the next Business course they were running as a starting point to
The Hervey Bay Historical Museum has received a much needed boost as it prepares for Hervey Bay’s 150th anniversary celebrations on Sunday, 29 September. David Skeels and Sotera Trevaskis from the Hervey Bay Community Bank® Branch of Bendigo Bank joined Deputy Mayor George Seymour recently to hand over a $2000 cheque to the museum’s team of loyal volunteers. The money will be used to purchase a time capsule for burial on the day by Governor Penelope Wensley. The Hervey Bay Historical Museum Association is also publishing a commemorative booklet and CD to assist in their fundraising efforts. For more information about the 150th Anniversary celebrations, contact Hervey Bay Historical Museum Association on 4128 4804 or by visiting the Museum on Zephyr St, Scarness.
Toasting Zech’s success At Zech’s first job interview with Toast in October 2012, owner Vince Rovere identified that Zech had qualities that would suit the hospitality industry but more importantly Zech would be a good fit with the work culture at Toast. Following Zech’s brief work trial he was employed as a food service assistant. He has now successfully completed 8 months full time employment with Toast and recently was flat out as Toast provided free coffee in their quest to raise funds for the Give Me Five For Kids Appeal held during June. Vince has overseen Zech’s progression within Toast and his training in all aspects of the business including customer service, food preparation and barista operations.
EPIC Employment Maryborough has been pleased to assist with Zech gaining the necessary qualifications to support and enhance his employment. Toast was the first true espresso bar to open on the Fraser Coast and has recently celebrated 7 years in business. Toast has served over half a million coffees to the people of the Fraser Coast and is regarded as one of the premier coffee establishments on the Fraser Coast. Vince and Zech look forward to seeing you at Toast when they celebrate the serving of their millionth coffee.
