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 - Glendyne 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 profile NRL players don’t tolerate bullying is something that really sticks with them. “Here at Carinity Education - Glendyne we find 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 outset. 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 Education - 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 providing a practical education with individual learning support in a flexible learning environment. The NRL Tackle Bullying Program aims to empower students to stand up for themselves and others who are being bullied, by using five steps: Stand Strong; Stay Calm; Respond Confidently; Walk Away, and Report..

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 capacity for a person conducting a business or undertaking and can include employees (regardless of wages or salary classiﬁcation), trainees/apprentices, individuals on work experience and volunteers. In order to obtain an order from the Commission an individual or group of individuals must have behaved unreasonably towards the worker on repeatedly and that this behaviour 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.

It contains contact details for a wide range of services such as emergency services, disability services, health services, 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.

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

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 first question is that students seek private tutoring for various reasons. Students 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 tutoring experiences will often help a student build self-confidence, resilience and an enthusiasm for learning. In finding a suitable tutor, a pre-tuition interview is the ideal opportunity to ask questions and determine if the tutor is right for your student. Topics for discussion could include: The structure of the tutoring program (including flexibility to adjust to student needs and the use of technology) The tutor’s experience and qualifications Student-teacher ratios Fee 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. RTO ACCREDITED COURSES ...

Sai on course

To help parents navigate their way to the best school for their child, here are 10 helpful questions to consider: 1. Do we want the most up-to-date educational resources for our children? 2. Are we looking for a values-based nurturing environment 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 investments 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 ﬁnish their Primary to Senior education on just one campus? 6. Do we as a family prefer to stay in a safer/smaller

community while our children grow up? 7. Will transportation and location affect our choice of school? 8. Will our children be disadvantaged 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.

Fresh look at horticulture The Australian horticultural 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 Professor Philip Brown says the potential value of some crops is not being maximised. Meantime, a signiﬁcant ‘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 enable specialty and, potentially, premium products that are differentiated via technology and product qualities, building on advantages in the production base and extending this throughout processing and through to marketing and brand positioning along the value chain,” Prof Brown says. “Using ﬂexible technology

scaled for specialty products, there is potential for on-farm processing in some cases. “Projects focused solely on technology or product development, without adequate 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 signiﬁcant transformative industry impact.” The project will be undertaken in collabaration with the Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research and the Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

’ere’s ’enry with HENRY GAY

The new year provides an opportunity to reflect 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 confidence in our business community and a pride amongst citizens of all ages in our region. 2013 tested us with fires, storms and floods and we came through better than ever. The community works best when we work together; we saw it in the flood 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 communities. 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, opportunities are limitless and there has never been a better time to be alive. - Daniel Sanderson, City and Town Centre Development, FCRC

Let’s get up to internet speed Faster internet access for businesses 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 ﬁxed 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 roofmounted antenna through the connecting wire to a NBN box. Cr Loft (pictured), whose portfolio includes Small Business, Manufacturing and Service Industry, said the ﬁxed wireless network was designed to provide access to internet 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 ﬁxed wireless network infrastructure in and around the Wide Bay-Burnett area. NBN Co Spokesperson Ryan Williams said the ﬁxed-wireless service would bring better broadband to the bush. “More farms, residents and businesses can look forward to having access to faster internet,” Mr Williams 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.”* For further information about NBN Co and construction plans, visit www.nbnco.com.au

Two NBN Community Information Sessions have been scheduled in March Maryborough Group:

Maybe hire a recreational canoe in Ululah Lagoon or enjoy a cappuccino from a mobile coffee kart in Queens Park? Council is seeking expressions 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 potential,” he said. “We have beautiful, historic waterways and surrounding areas that are easily accessible to the public. We have been looking at other examples 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 businesses 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 possibilities are endless and we want to make things happen.” For more information contact Cr Sanderson or the Ofﬁce of CEO on 1300 79 49 29.

New shelter for Quota Park in Bell Hilltop Council crews are busy installing a picnic table and timber shelter at Quota Park - between 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 fundraises 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 Steve Working on high-rise buildings has given Steve Gleeson a good grounding in the cleaning business. 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.

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 Gleeson . . . cleaning is his business.

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.

How quickly life can change 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 psychologist at Sarina Russo Job Access was able to assist Candise, not only with her current state of mind, but also with urgent accommodation. That is where the assistance of Youth Housing from Maryborough kicked in and they were able to ﬁnd her emergency accommodation 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 employment which would assist in gaining her own place to live. Youth Housing advised on the next afternoon that Candise had been successful gaining her own unit and would be moving in the same day.

Photo + lines

This was a remarkable turnaround. From jobless and homeless, to working and her own place in three days! This was a tremendous effort by everybody involved and Candise is now looking forward to working hard and making every post a winner.
