Street sex sweep

By Casey Neill

At Dandenong South’s Clean Energy Group, discarded tyres become oil, steel, carbon and gas.

“It’s like un-baking a cake,” managing director Mike Loone explained.

Sex workers could be banned from central Dandenong under new legislation.

From 1 August, the area bordered by Princes Highway and Pickett, Walker, Clow and Hemmings streets will be a declared area under the Sex Work Act. This will allow police to ban any sex worker from the area and impose fines.

Greater Dandenong Local Area Commander Inspector Sean Murray said police identified street sex work as a concern in parts of the CBD in 2014.

“Since then, we’ve conducted enforcement activities in the area with great results,” he said.

“At the same time, we’ve worked with local government and health and support agencies to provide for the ongoing wellbeing of the workers.

“The number of incidents has decreased dramatically, but the addition of this declared area means we are equipped with legislation to respond more effectively to any signs of new activity.”

On the Journal Facebook page, reader Bethany welcomed the initiative.

“I hate walking along those streets because filthy men like to assume where all working girls,” she said. “This man kept following and wouldn’t leave me alone.

“Thank goodness a friend was close by because he was trying with force to get me into his car.

“It was a very scary moment. He wasn’t listening to the word no, or cared that people were watching.”

Star News Group covered the issue extensively in 2013, starting with a report in February that a 70-year-old woman was propositioned outside her Scott Street home.

Her daughter said the problem was instilling “fear and discomfort” among residents and visitors. In July, Star reported that gutter crawlers propositioned a 19-year-old girl twice in seven minutes as she waited for a bus in Scott Street.

Police made one arrest and interviewed three suspects in a prostitution blitz in Dandenong’s CBD later that month, and more stings and court appearances followed throughout the year.

Home builder decision

In Brief Road rage ends in crash

By Cam Lucadou-Wells The administrator of collapsed builder Botanic Homes says a decision on whether to report Botanic’s directors for possible insolvent trading is imminent.

Botanic Homes met with administrators nearly four weeks prior to it going into voluntary receivership on 3 May while at the same time appearing to hire still-unpaid tradie-contractors.

Botanic Homes owes up to $5 million to 250 creditors including customers and tradies. One tradie told Star News he was owed $200,000 and had been assured of the company’s financial viability up to the day it folded.

He held small hope of recovering the debt.

Administrator Jason Stone of PKF Melbourne said an “in-depth investigation” of the directors Robert Bender and Craig Garvey’s conduct would likely occur after the Hallam company’s future

was decided by the end of August.

He said a report would be prepared for corporate regulator Australian Securities and Investments Commission on whether the directors’ conduct was “appropriate”.

In June, Mr Stone told Star News that PKF believed the directors were trading insolvent but “it’s difficult to prove”.

“From what we have in our possession, the records we have reviewed ... it appears the company has been insolvent in the last few months leading up to the appointment and there is a claim of insolvent trading,” he said.

Under law, PKF must report the directors if there’s a suspicion of any offences, such as insolvent trading.

PKF can also prosecute the directors to claim any new debts incurred while trading insolvent.

“We advise ASIC regardless of whether we prosecute the directors or not,” Mr Stone said.

“It’s up to ASIC to determine if they take further action against the directors. I suppose ASIC has limited funding and are quite selective on which matters they take on and which they don’t.”

Mr Stone said directors Mr Garvey and Mr Bender were among the listed creditors, claiming unsecured loans they contributed to alleviate “some working capital difficulties”.

The directors’ claim could be used to offset any prosecution for insolvent trading debts against them, Mr Stone said.

Meanwhile, customers who are left with partly or completely unbuilt Botanic Home houses say they are frustrated by delays and extra costs as they chase insurers and PKF. An ASIC spokeswoman said the regulator was unable to comment on whether it was investigating a company and its directors.

Calling off refund bluff Police are investigating a series of thefts and deceptions at supermarkets, including in Endeavour Hills.

An unknown man and woman have struck at least 11 times at supermarkets in metropolitan Melbourne in the past 10 months.

They have typically bought items from a supermarket and retained the receipt.

The pair then return to the supermarket, choose the same items and get refunds for them using the old receipt.

At an Endeavour Hills supermarket, a man filled an empty bag with goods and left it near the specials merchandise area on 25 June about 7pm.

A few minutes later, a woman entered, collected the bag left by the man and used a receipt to get a refund.

The man is described as Caucasian with a slim-to-medium build and short dark hair.

The woman is described as Caucasian with a medium build and straight blonde hair.

School screening’s drive to tackle region’s scourge

Raiders hit milk bar A Hallam milk bar worker has been held up by two men armed with a pick-axe in the mid-afternoon of 23 July.

The two men, described as about 25 years old and Caucasian, demanded cash and cigarettes from the attendant in the Marshall Place milk bar about 4.30pm.

Senior Sergeant Phil Byrne of Endeavour Hills police said the victim did the right thing by “handing over what (the robbers) wanted”.

After the armed robbery, the men fled in a small hatchback.

House fire probed Police are investigating a suspicious house fire on Heatherton Road in Dandenong.

A passer-by saw smoke coming from the address about 10pm on Tuesday 19 July and called triple zero.

The CFA attended and extinguished the fire, containing it to a small area of the house.

Police said no one was home at the time.

He said CFA and police arson experts had deemed the fire suspicious.

Hallam Senior College students are joining the latest push for Casey residents to think and talk about family violence’s underestimated scourge.

VCAL students will be helping out at a premiere feature-length screening of Call Me Dad that aims to pack out the college’s theatre.

It’s a cathartic and rare insight into participants in men’s behaviour change groups and women support groups in Casey.

The project feeds into the students’ practical investigation into family violence, how it can be tackled and how solutions might be found, said vice principal David Caughey.

The aim is to make it real to them, he said.

As part of the drive, the students will hunt for sponsors, fund-raise and help out on the film night.

More awareness is important for an issue “that’s still a little bit in the periphery,” Mr Caughey said.

“It’s a strong philosophy of the school that we’re here to serve the community, rather than serving ourselves. It’s not just about an ATAR score.”

Of course, for some families and children in Casey it’s not peripheral but “front and centre” and their friends might not understand what victims are going through, he said.

“Events like this help people develop a language on how to talk about it.”

As is widely known, Casey has the highest reported family violence in the state.

But as Mr Caughey points out “it’s still difficult to say how widespread it is because it’s a little bit more in the shadows”.

The documentary features David Nugent – who also works as counsellor at Hallam Senior College – and his Heavy METAL (Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life) group.

Mr Nugent told Star News that many people don’t understand that family violence includes verbal abuse and manipulation inside the household.

“This is a community problem and it needs to be solved in the community.”

The screening is at 7-10pm on 26 August at Hallam Senior College and is followed by a question and answer community panel.

Tickets are at eventbrite.com/e/call-me-dadtickets-25834649131.

For more details contact David Nugent on 0401 766 876 or email hvymetal@bigpond.net.au.

A Casey motorist had their window smashed with a crowbar after a prolonged mid-June road rage incident in Narre Warren.

The victim was tailgated and brake-checked on the Princes Highway in the incident which continued onto Hallam Road.

The perpetrator, who was driving dangerously and swerving in and out of traffic in a black VZ Holden Commodore, eventually crashed into the victim’s vehicle on Hallam Road.

The driver then got out of the Commodore and smashed the victim’s side windows with a crowbar.

Anyone with information on the attack is urged to contact Narre Warren police on 9705 3111 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Colin Donald is seeking the ultimate of challenges 157312 They are pushing each other in the midst of a healthy diet blitz termed the 12-week Challenge at the moment.

In his training, Mr Donald is running plenty of steep kilometres in the Dandenongs - including a 15-kilometre trek from Belgrave to Cockatoo and the Thousand Steps.

He with another five Personal Performance regulars have just competed in a Spartan halfmarathon, which is a 21-kilometere run combined with a commando obstacle course.

An avid adventure-book reader, Mr Donald is also inspired by the travails of Australian explorers Cas and Jonesy, who have kayaked unsupported to New Zealand and Antarctica.

He yearns to summit Everest and the 6000plus kilometre Himalayan peak Ama Dablam.

In neat symmetry, next year’s marathon will

Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

begin nearly 15 years to the day after Mr Donald’s crash.

After 10 days of acclimatising to the thin air, Mr Donald and about 150 runners will start from Everest Base Camp.

During their undulating 42km run, they finish at Namche Bazaar about two kilometres below.

The rocky route features many climbs, including a 523-metre rise.

“I’m expecting it’s going to be hard. The last thing I want is to twist my ankle on the rocks in the first 500 metres.”

In the lead-up, Mr Donald hopes to raise $50,000 for the Australian Himalayan Foundation.

All funds go towards Nepalese earthquake victims and the ongoing rebuild.

There ain’t no mountain high enough for 33-yearold Berwick gym regular Colin Donald.

Mr Donald, once a physical wreck, is registered for the world’s highest marathon on Mt Everest in May next year.

It’s remarkable that he is on his feet at all after a critical motorbike crash 14 years ago that severed an artery, and shattered his leg and pelvis.

The Belgrave tradie was told by onlookers on Eastern Freeway at the time that his bike was clipped by a car causing him and his bike to strike the rear of a hatch and launch metres in the air.

As he lay in Royal Melbourne Hospital heavily dosed on painkillers, doctors advised Mr Donald’s mother that his left leg has to be amputated.

Otherwise, he will not walk again, the experts told her.

Fortunately, she refused. She said it was up to Mr Donald to make the decision.

“I didn’t want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life,” he says.

“I was planning to walk again - and that was pretty much it.”

During a gruelling year of rehab, Mr Donald walked first on crutches. He then took what was at first a “very small step” unassisted.

He recalls the intense pain as blood rushed down into his leg the first time he eased it off the side of his hospital bed.

His scarred lower left leg, swollen by lymphedema, is a visible though painless reminder of the journey.

Just two years ago, Mr Donald had an idle life and reckons he wouldn’t have been able to run three kilometres let alone a marathon. Then he took another giant step.

He booked himself into an intense regime at commando camps, boxing, kick-boxing and weights up to three sessions a day at Personal Performance Training Centre in Berwick.

Mr Donald credits the gym’s brother coaches Lochlan and Marcus Burke at the aptly-named Intrepid Street gym for urging him on in his pursuit, dropping 39 kilos and now being the image of health.

Looking Back 100 years ago 27 July 1916 A Glimpse of France Part One Through Young Australia’s eyes Letter from Private H W Garlick We arrived in France after a delightful trip, we were awakened from our peaceful slumbers at 5am, and then, oh then, that sweet job of disembarking.

To go into detail over this would only tend to throw shadows on our already sunlit path, so we pass on to our march to the railway with full packs, tender feet (for they were tender after much walking on sand and then a sea trip) and with more or less mixed feelings, we wandered our way over those cobble stones to the station, little dreaming our destination.

The first noticeable thing was how the young ladies work on the railways in clerical positions chiefly, though in some cases they drive the lorries.

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society There is a succession of viaducts and while crossing these you have a fine view of the valleys below.

It was while on one of these we saw a camp of Australians.

These, by the way, look more like weekend tourists and not the stern warriors of which we read.

Looking out of the window you see mansions and cottages on green slopes.

Houses with red roofs and white walls coupled with rugged mountains and the grey sky beyond form a glorious contrast.

Looking seaward we see fine flat vineyards with nice homesteads, round which are playing girls and children.

50 years ago 2 August 1966 Journal files thrill history society Highlight of the annual meeting of the Dandenong and District Historical Society was

the announcement that the Dandenong Journal had handed over its early broadsheet newspaper files from April 1888 to 1939.

Apart from the files in the Latrobe Library, these are the only copies in existence and are irreplaceable.

Commuters were ferried in buses between Pakenham and Dandenong during the disruption.

20 years ago 5 August 1996 And now the mop-up It was the week the weather went crazy.

Days of rain followed by wind storms stretched emergency services to the limit and left residents of the cities of Dandenong and Casey mopping up.

Reports flooded in to emergency services of traffic light failures, power blackouts, train delays, railway crossing flooding, marooned stock and horrendous traffic delays.

Adding to the confusion was the 24-hour closure of Pakenham railway line.

Night market plan has got the goods

5 years ago 1 August 2011 The first Springvale Full Moon Night Market will be held next month when Buckingham Avenue will come alive with all of the sights and smells of an Asian market.

It will be an Asian-themed open air market on the second Saturday of each month from September to April, with a break in January for the Chinese new year.

The first night market on September 10 will have a ‘lantern night’ theme, with children encouraged to make their own lantern and bring them along.

Engineer cast Springvale’s future What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s bestknown street names. This week the Journal looks at Springvale’s Lewis Street, named in honour of engineer and businessman Edward Lewis.

Edward Powell Lewis was largely responsible for re-siting the engineering works of George W Kelly and Lewis at Springvale when the Melbourne premises became too small.

Kelly and Lewis assisted in the Yallourn Power House, Hume Reservoir and Spencer Street Bridge projects.

Springvale and District Historical Society said the existence of the foundry and pattern shop was a great help in putting Springvale on the map.

Mr Lewis, an engineer and businessman, was born on 24 July 1862.

His father died before he was five and his mother ran the Old England Hotel at Heidelberg single-handed until she remarried in 1872.

WHAT’S IN A

NAME Mr Lewis attended the Model School, Melbourne, and at 17 became an apprentice with the engineering firm of Wright and Edwards, later Atlas Iron Works.

He became leading hand at the end of his apprenticeship and by 1887 was chief draftsman.

He married Amy Isobel Dobbin at Holy Trinity Church in Williamstown on 6 February 1889 and was that year appointed manager of Wright and Edwards’s new works at Braybrook, which handled large rolling-stock contracts for the Victorian railways.

He was respected for his high workmanship standards and ability to ‘take off his coat’ and operate the machines.

When the 1890s depression forced the firm into voluntary liquidation, he became works manager at Thompson and Co in Castlemaine ahead of 600 other applicants.

Mr Lewis went into partnership with George Kelly in 1899, financed by friend and South German Reef Gold Mining Co chairman WB Gray.

They operated from Little Bourke Street in Melbourne opposite the old works of Wright and Edwards, which they eventually purchased.

Demand from the Western Australian deeplead goldfields for steam-driven winders, condensing plants and pumps drove the firm’s development.

The firm became a proprietary company in 1913 and after Mr Kelly died in 1919, Mr Lewis was the sole managing director.

Construction of a large foundry at Springvale

started in 1921 and contracts after this time included extensions to the Yallourn power house and sluice gates for the Hume weir.

Mr Lewis was president of the Victorian Chamber of Manufactures in 1925-27 and a director of the Chamber of Manufactures Insurance from 1924.

He was a life governor of the (Royal) Melbourne Hospital from 1914.

He died on 10 January 1930 at his Armadale home and was buried in Springvale Botanical Cemetery.

Sir William McPherson and Burdett Laycock were pallbearers.

Hoon hanging out of skids car

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A South East Skids hoon who performed fast circle burnouts with a passenger half-out the car’s window has been told by a magistrate it’s “one of the worst acts of driving” captured by Operation Regarder police.

P-plater Jack Stacey, 21, told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 25 July that he couldn’t remember the identity of the rear male passenger during the 20-second burnouts – despite the passenger apparently filmed hanging out of the car at two separate meets.

The passenger high-fived bystanders as Stacey’s 2012 Falcon exited the skid bowl in Licola Crescent, Dandenong South, about 1.08am on 9 December.

At the time there were more than 100 drivers and spectators lining the public road bowl.

On viewing covert video, magistrate Jack Vandersteen observed a passenger also hung out of Stacey’s car window during a different South East Skids meet at the same place on 18 December.

“It looks like the same person.”

He pressed Stacey’s lawyer on why the accused couldn’t remember “his mate’s” identity.

“I’m not asking him to name him, but I want to know who is this friend and why would he

put him in that danger.

“I think it’s one of the worst acts of driving behaviour in this (operation).”

Mr Vandersteen said he couldn’t recall any of the other 36-plus vehicles caught on Operation Regarder video with an occupant leaning out of a window during burnouts.

“The most serious car crash I’ve seen is when someone fell out of a car at 5 km/h.”

Stacey’s lawyer said the accused had been “blowing off steam” during a difficult separation with his partner at the time.

He since understood the “inherent seriousness” of the offences, the lawyer said.

Mr Vandersteen retorted: “Everyone goes through difficult times. Not everyone who goes through a difficult time puts lives at risk.

“You can’t just say he was upset and wanted to do a burnout.”

Another offender Luke Close – on a suspended jail sentence at the time – had his sentencing adjourned.

Due to a migraine, a psychologist was unable to testify on whether Close’s moral culpability was reduced due to a close family bereavement at the time.

Both Stacey and Close face sentencing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 August.

Try-out sports bring on Olympic spirit Forget Rio – Greater Dandenong is the place to strive for Olympic glory during August.

Greater Dandenong Council is partnering with the YMCA to hold free sporting events across the municipality from Saturday 6 to Monday 22 August.

He said a frontline tactical unit would start in August.

“That’s a unit of uniformed police – that’s 38 additional police – that we’re going to be putting on the street to actually deal with street violence, street crime, and the type of public order offending that we’re seeing out there as well,” he said.

“We’re also establishing a divisional response unit, which is a group of investigators – that’s 28 investigators – who are going to be focusing on targeted investigation.

“We’re actually able to take it to the criminals in the first instance.”

Over the next two weeks, Crime Stoppers is

urging residents to tackle the manufacture and distribution of crystal methylamphetamine, or ice, and other illicit drugs in their neighbourhoods.

Crime Stoppers’ Chris Plumridge said Neighbourhood Watch and Greater Dandenong Council would also assist with the campaign.

He said reports of drug trafficking and manufacturing increased by an average of 168 per cent during the campaigns run last year.

“When you call Crime Stoppers, you don’t talk to police – you talk to a Crime Stoppers call-taker,” he said.

“They take down any information that you might have about crime, and then they remove all the stuff that’s going to identify who you are, and then they pass it on to police.”

Supt Hollowood said “the community are our lifeblood in terms of information”.

“The insidious influence of ice actually does drive a lot of the crime that’s occurring,” he said.

‘I’m not a hero’

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A humble fire-fighter awarded a national honour says it’s the victims who rebuild their lives after catastrophes that are the real heroes.

Captain Peter Ryan and his Narre Warren East CFA colleagues Mark Rogerson, Andrew Rogerson and Lawrie Penpraze were recently awarded National Emergency Medals for their efforts during the Black Saturday disaster in 2009.

Mr Ryan recalls leading 100 fireys in a fierce blaze in Narre Warren North for most of that cauldron-like day.

The 45-degree Celsius conditions were “horrendous”, he said.

“To have a fire-fighter on your truck vomiting from exhaustion is not uncommon.

“It’s severely stressful on your body - that amount of heat and the amount you have to do just to drag a hose for five minutes.“ Fanned by gales, the fire could have spread catastrophically into Upper Beaconsfield and the Dandenongs if it was left unchecked.

Disability Action Plan 2016-23 and Disability Policy Have your say The City of Greater Dandenong has prepared a draft Disability Action Plan 2016-23 that aims to improve the lives of people with a disability. The draft Disability Policy affirms Council’s commitment to upholding and promoting the rights of people with a disability and to the provision of accessible services and public spaces.

Council now seeks your feedback.

Written Submissions A summary document and feedback form are available at Council’s Customer Service Centres and libraries or online at greaterdandenong.com To access these documents in an alternative format contact Council’s Access and Quality team on 8571 1000.

All feedback must be received in writing by 5pm, Thursday 1 September.

Feedback received by this date will be considered by Council prior to the endorsement of the Disability Action Plan 2016-23 and Disability Policy.

1234854-DJ28-16

Feedback can be submitted: • online feedback form (available at greaterdandenong.com) • email to communityconsultation@cgd.vic.gov.au • mail to City of Greater Dandenong, PO Box 200, Dandenong, 3175 • in person at one of Council’s Customer Service Centres.

“We were lucky the wind stopped when it did,” Mr Ryan said.

At the time, they all knew how disastrous the fire-fronts were across the state. He could see the giant smoke plumes over Kinglake and Labertouche.

After a fire earlier that scorching morning, Mr Ryan presciently called his members to jump in a swimming pool.

When the wind picked up an hour later, the refreshed firies filed into the brigade station ready for the coming fight.

Mr Ryan - and others in his brigade - voluntarily fought a further 15 days with little respite, fronting unquelled blazes in Healesville and Kinglake.

“For sure I was feeling it after 16 days but the real heroes of this have been the people who have been able to re-start their lives who have lost families and houses.

“No matter how tired and emotionally trying it is (fighting bushfires), there’s always someone worse off.”

CFA and police officers at the scene of the fatal Doveton crash.

Driver dead after car hits tree A 36-year-old Noble Park man died after crashing a car on Princes Highway in Doveton on Monday 25 July. He was the sole occupant of the car, which veered off the highway near Power Road and struck a tree about 7pm. The man died at the scene. CFA photographer Keith Pakenham attended the scene.

“CFA do more than just fight bushfires or house fires,” he said.

“When everyone else is at home nice and warm in front of the fireplace, our crews are out doing a different battle than normal in the freezing chill of winter.”

The art of weaving a strong city

By NARELLE COULTER When artist Emma Anna moved to Colombia five years ago the tropical heat meant she didn’t need many of the clothes that had kept her warm in chilly Melbourne.

Emma set about cutting up her unwanted clothes and storing the pieces of fabric in a battered old suitcase to use in patchwork quilting projects.

Pieces of her dresses, shirts and skirts lay strewn across a wooden table at Dandenong’s Heritage Hill on Thursday night 28 July as the community gathered to celebrate the official opening of the city’s second celebration of textile art, Cultural Threads.

Those pieces of fabric will become part of a giant Community Peace Quilt.

Emma will lead sewing workshops where participants can create their own hexagonal, flowershaped pieces which will be sewn together to create the quilt. School children across the city have already used needle and thread to create pieces of the colourful quilt.

The finished work will be displayed from 15 August at Dandenong Library.

“The quilt will be a collection of personal narratives,” Emma said.

“I’ve become really connected to Dandenong through working on various projects. I love to come here because it is so diverse.

“My life experience has been as a migrant so I feel I can relate to the experience of the community here.”

The Community Peace Quilt is just one of many Cultural Threads projects and installations taking place across Greater Dandenong throughout August.

The tactile program includes knitting, crocheting, dyeing, weaving, needlepoint, yarn art and installations by guest artists.

Harmony Square will host the Tree of Life, the creation of Greater Dandenong school children who have worked with artists Margaret Summerton and Robina Summers.

The installation will continue to grow eventually emerging as a white tree bursting with flowers and butterflies.

Thea Jones large scale embroidery was lit up outside Heritage Hill. 156697 At the Drum Theatre artist Kristin McFarlane has installed a curtain of etched glass panels with traces of fabric and pattern. The work was inspired by the fashion of Dorothy Hart, who lived at Heritage Hill in the 1940s.

Walker Street Gallery will host two exhibitions while a colourful paper garland celebrates the threads that connect life and community at the Springvale Library.

At Noble Park a friendship garden will be created by children and families using inspiration from the Australian environment.

At Heritage Hill the work of Northcote tapestry artist Tim Gresham adorns the walls.

Tim was at the Cultural Threads opening on Thursday night and was pleased with how his Rhythm of the Weave exhibition had been received.

“It is good to have your work displayed in a place where people haven’t seen it before,” he said.

The exhibition covers three phases of his creative life over more than a decade. He described his work as abstract influenced by minimal abstraction.

Councillor Angela Long encouraged the com-

Established in 1919, Dandenong High School is one of the oldest, largest and most culturally diverse Secondary schools in the state. The school offers an extensive range of learning programs from Year 7 to 12 including an Accelerated Learning Program, VCE,VCAL and VET in world class facilities. In 2015 students learn in our innovative Senior Science wing and Performing Arts Centre.

The school is a leader in educational innovation, our vision is to create an environment where all students strive for excellence and can achieve success. In order to foster a real sense of belonging and connection to the school, students are grouped in 7 Houses with 300 students from Years 7 - 12 in each House, a leadership team of 4 and 25 staff.

Students learn in groups of 50 with a team of 3 teachers in architecturally designed, and technology rich learning spaces and learning is personalised to meet each students need.

The curriculum is based on the principles of direct instruction, inquiry and discovery and we have an extensive, individualised Senior Studies program that provides the students with a wide range of pathways options. The school also has a strong student leadership program, a range of sporting and extracurricular activities and has achieved great success in the Performing and visual arts.

I am incredibly proud to be the leader of such a unique and dynamic learning community and would encourage you to visit our website or contact the school to arrange a tour.

With talented, well regarded and highly qualified Christian teachers who understand children, Maranatha students have the opportunity to learn, develop, serve, grow and excel by participating in a rigorous, challenging and engaging curriculum at either of our two well-resourced Junior Schools at Officer and Doveton or our highly regarded Middle and Senior School at Endeavour Hills.

At Noble Park Primary School, we pride ourselves on the fantastic relationships we develop here. It is a happy and friendly school where everyone is welcome.

We are very proud of our diverse community, where over 40 languages are spoken in our playground.

The school promotes life-long learning, which means that we learn together and we invite local community members to share their expertise to further the learning of all and build social capital.

We offer a wide range of learning opportunities, within the Learning Houses, in the playground and with a variety of after-school activities. The teachers focus on a personalised, differentiated approach in the learning and teaching programs. We do not provide a one size fits all program, rather each child is provided with the appropriate learning opportunities, specifically designed to challenge, engage and build confidence.

Our personalised approach embodies collaborative teaching, planning, learning at point of need, student choice and goal setting. Developing and maintaining positive relationships is the core of all our interactions.

Students will leave NPPS as resilient, creative, literate, numerate, collaborative, socially just, technologically savvy and environmentally aware individuals, with the potential to become truly global citizens.

Noble Park Primary School is a great school.

Adult English classes and Computer classes are also conducted on our sites to further engage with the wider community.

As with all Victorian schools our curriculum is transitioning to the Victorian Curriculum and we continue to have a focus on Inquiry through our developmental approach to curriculum delivery. Our priorities include a strong emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy which is also reflected in our staffing allocation to supporting students in their learning needs. We are very proud of the way we support our students to achieve their best outcomes and this includes a proactive approach to building student leadership.

At MPPS we promote the uniqueness of one’s identity and self-worth as a member of the community. Every child has a place and together we celebrate and embrace the spirit that unites a wide range of cultural and ethnic groups.

I feel most privileged to be the principal of this wonderful school.

I have been a school principal for more than 30 years. In 1990, I was appointed to the position of principal of a new school to be opened at the start of 1991 – Thomas Mitchell Primary School. This school has grown from 286 students when it started to around 800 students in 2016.

There have been many significant changes at Thomas Mitchell in the past 25 years. Our community has evolved into a highly multicultural, complex and exciting learning environment. While we concentrate on teaching literacy and numeracy, we greatly value the cultures and languages of the 70+ nationalities represented at the school.

Parents and children are encouraged to value their ‘mother tongue’ language and culture at home while learning English at school.

All students learn an Asian language at school – Mandarin or Indonesian, and participate in Asian studies to prepare them for the future. Sports and the Arts – Visual Arts and Performing Arts, Science and History are all part of the complex curriculum now taught at school.

Thomas Mitchell is one of only 20 schools in Victoria to be a fully accredited school with the Council of International Schools.

This accreditation commits the school to continuous, rigorous improvement.

Our parent community is very supportive of our dedicated staff.

Parents are aspirational for their children, but reasonable and eager to help.

My great joy as principal is to speak to the kids each day. To see their smiling, happy faces as they arrive at school. To hear about and share the things that excite them. It makes me come to school each day!

Mossgiel Park Primary School is an innovative and exciting place to learn. In partnership with parents, teachers and students, MPPS aims to provide a learning environment that offers the best educational opportunities for all students; emphasizes success, challenge and enjoyment in learning; and prepares students for life in the 21st century.

We encourage children to share and help one another through co-operative learning, cross-age activities, buddy programs and peer tutoring across the curriculum.

Students are involved in decisions and take substantial responsibility for their own learning.

John Hurley

In order for young people to succeed in an increasingly complex environment, children need a high quality education; to be taught skills to achieve success, and to think critically, enabling them to become good decision-makers, responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.

The school’s core values are Respect, Engagement, Achievement, Community and Hope. Our motto is Learning and Growing – Safely – Together. Our school recognises the importance of academic opportunity and excellence as a gateway to a positive future for its students and promotes thinking skills and goal setting as a way of scaffolding and articulating learning.

Lady tradie for the sisterhood

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH Casey commuters would know Danielle KaziShedden’s face.

She’s the Cranbourne tradie showing up the boys and catching the eyes of passersby in Berwick and Pakenham. She’s Chisholm Institute’s poster girl, for all the right reasons.

Danielle, 25, is a trailblazer in every sense of the word.

She is living proof of the changing face of women in the workforce, on the sporting field and at the altar.

A lesbian and soon-to-be mum, Danielle has a shelf dedicated to her trophies.

Last year she won Chisholm’s Building and Construction Apprentice of the Year, and was then nominated for a Master Builders’ award.

To many people’s surprise Danielle, a shopfitter, keeps beating the boys.

“I won the overall Joinery Apprentice of the Year, Metro Apprentice of the Year, and Victorian State Apprentice of the Year. That was last year, in April,” she said.

“They were all clapping and being supportive at the awards ceremony but you could tell that when they called out my name everyone was a bit taken aback.

“People said to me well done and everything but in that tone that they were really surprised, like I must have been very good to beat all of the boys - I just thought I worked to a winning standard.”

Danielle met her wife, Alyssa, on the football field - both of them passionate about AFL, gay rights and starting a family.

So much so that Alyssa has started a Facebook page for LGBT parents in the Casey region.

“I’ve already got 60 followers,” she said, laughing.

But the page is no laughing matter, Danielle and Alyssa both want to see a broader acceptance of same sex parenting by the time their son is of school age.

Chisholm’s poster girl Danielle Kazi-Shedden, from Cranbourne is a keen footballer and shopfitter. 157138 “I don’t want other mums to say that they don’t want their child to hang out with my son because he has two mums,” Alyssa said.

“I started the Facebook page two weeks ago to give gay parents a place to speak openly about things without being judged.”

The online parenting support page is called ‘The LGBT mums, dads and supporters’.

Alyssa and Danielle have also used the page

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

to respond to queries from other lesbian couples about home insemination.

The couple were lucky enough to get sperm donated to them and inseminate at home, using a kit bought online from the US. Alyssa is six months pregnant.

The pair is as close to being married as possible in Australia and had a commitment ceremony two years ago. They both look forward to the day

they can go to the registry office and bind that commitment in the eyes of the law.

Danielle is in the running for the Statewide Community Choice Award at this year’s Victorian Training Awards - up against three males.

To vote for Danielle visit: www.education.vic. gov.au/about/awards/Pages/vtavote.aspx.

Voting closes on Friday 26 August at 7.45pm.

ing from a stolen car in Cranbourne East.

A Children’s Court hearing heard the boy allegedly told police officers “he didn’t care what happens because he’ll get released anyway”.

Suffice to say he wasn’t pleased when the magistrate refused to grant him bail partly because of a lack of supports to stop him re-offending.

As the boy was led back to the cells, he screamed in frustration.

Maybe the word he was looking for was “Doh!”.

The woman, who had been on bail at the time for trafficking ice, burglary and cannabis possession, told police she was “clean”.

The drugs found on her were supposedly a reminder to her not to use again - an excuse that the magistrate found unconvincing.

Taking into account her surrender to police, she was released on bail on strict night curfew and daily reporting conditions.

It’s none of our business but…

A man gained some notoriety for doing a runner in front of news crews after being sentenced to 14 days’ jail at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 25 July.

The man and his police pursuers sprinted from the courthouse, miraculously between moving traffic on Foster Street before the man’s shoes fell off.

At the 200-metre mark, he took a fighting stance to the leading police officer, who tackled him to ground until reinforcements arrived.

The Kilsyth carpet-layer appeared back in court that day, bearing a large scuff-mark to his temple as well as a greasy stare for his apprehending officer watching on from the gallery.

His defence lawyer pointed out that the ADHD-afflicted man struggled to think through situations.

If he had paused, he could have contested the jail term for repeated intervention order breaches and been out on appeal bail.

Appeal bail was now unlikely since he was a proven “flight risk”, the lawyer conceded.

The man was found guilty of escaping from lawful custody and sentenced to a further 31 days’ jail on top of his original term.

THE forementioned chase created a degree of chatter in the judicial ranks.

Shortly afterwards a magistrate asked a police prosecutor why he hadn’t joined in the “running”.

The prosecutor gave him a blank look, and motioned that the comment went over his head.

A 17-YEAR-OLD boy was fairly confident of his chances of bail after being arrested after flee-

A WOMAN, wanted on an arrest warrant, made a slightly dopey error as she handed herself at Springvale police station.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard that upon her arrest, the woman was found with ice in a syringe and cannabis in her pocket.

CRIME fuelled by fuel has cops concerned.

And they’ve spoken out on Facebook to help stop petrol station car thefts.

Casey police have put out a reminder to anyone paying for petrol, to lock their car and keep their keys on them during the short walk to and from the register.

The reminder posted on the Eyewatch Facebook page said: “Don’t leave your keys in your car!”

Tyres on the road to recycling

By CASEY NEILL No one knows what happens to 60 per cent of Australia’s waste tyres.

“They just disappear,” Clean Energy Group managing director Mike Loone said.

The rest end up in landfill or are illegally dumped, so he set up an Australian-first plant in Dandenong South to turn the situation around.

When a tyre arrives at Clean Energy it’s shredded into a crumb.

“Then we feed it into the reactor,” Mr Loone said.

“The reactor heats at 350 to 400 degrees Celsius.

“Through that process we crack down the chemical elements and extract all the gases from the tyre and condense it into oil.

“Once all the gases are released, we pull out the solid scrap - steel and carbon black.

“The tyre oil we sell as a fuel oil to regional areas of Australia.”

Abattoirs and hydroponic farming setups are key buyers.

Clean Energy is working with refineries with a view to desulfurise the oil and reduce its flashpoint - the temperature at which it gives off sufficient vapour to ignite in air.

“It could then potentially be used in diesel vehicles as a blend,” Mr Loone said.

“Carbon we primarily sell as a heat source, similar to coal.”

He’s also consulting with Boral and other firms about using the black product as a colouring for different aggregate services or in bricks.

“The steel we’ve commercialised as a scrap steel product,” he said.

The gases produced on-site are re-used in the process.

“We’re taking problem waste off the streets,

Mike Loone in the tyre-tranforming factory. 157302 processing it using best-quality standards to produce products that can be used locally,” Mr Loone said.

“The capacity here is 30 tonnes or 3500 passenger tyres a day.

“We’re receiving that many easily. There’s already too many tyres.

“We’ve identified six other sites in Australia where we’d like to expand in the next 12 to 18 months.”

The company’s next sites will be “strategically located all over the country”.

“To move tyres is really expensive,” he said.

Picture: GARY SISSONS “The tyre takes a lot of space for what it is.

“If you take logistics out of it, you win half the battle.”

Clean Energy Group employs eight people.

“We plan to increase that to 20 over the next three months,” he said.

He’s working on buying a new shredder that will reduce tyres to a smaller size and remove more steel before the heating process, increasing capacity.

Mr Loone founded the company in 2011 with a focus on solar panels.

He teamed up with business partner Salih

Hulusi, who had contacts internationally for the technology.

They brought in Salih’s brother as an investor and shareholder.

The team started looking at other energy streams “and waste to energy was the next one”.

“We identified tyres were a significant problem to Australia,” he said.

They looked at pyrolysis technology - using heat to break something down - in China, Thailand, Turkey, Egypt and Korea and decided to bring it to Australia.

Mr Loone said he was nervous about breaking new ground.

“But it’s worked elsewhere in the world, there’s no reason why it can’t work here.

“Companies have been looking at it in Australia for 20 years, but no one was doing it.

“The banks were nervous.

“The EPA was nervous because they haven’t seen this technology before.”

Following two years of research, Mr Loone settled on a manufacturer. Plant construction started in January last year and finished in February this year.

“We had to put in the pain to make it work,” he said.

“We’ve done it and no one can take that away from us.

He said the company was consulting heavily with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Sustainability Victoria and Economic Development Victoria before making its next move.

“This is all private money from the family,” he said.

“We’re now seeking funding and support from the private sector and government to expand the business to other sites to really contribute to a solution for all tyres.”

Collaboration call to build strong links in order to boost manufacturing

By CASEY NEILL Manufacturers need to engage and collaborate.

This was the key message from South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden at the organisation’s 13th annual general meeting at Sandown Racecourse on Tuesday 26 July.

“Between our companies we have an incredibly diverse range of capabilities and technologies that could only benefit from more collaboration,” he said.

Mr Boden said SEMMA continued to engage with the CSIRO, Swinburne University and the Australian Synchrotron.

“This year has been one of collaboration and promoting the need for collaboration,” he said.

“The numbers do not lie.

“We perform very badly on the global indexes for business to business and business to research

and development collaboration.

“It is the critical area where Australian manufacturing needs to improve.

“We will continue to develop opportunities and solutions to improve this situation but it can only be achieved with your engagement.”

Mr Boden said SEMMA would increase branding and marketing efforts over the next 12 months to boost its 200-strong membership base.

“We need to significantly expand our membership to make us even more relevant as well as financially secure,” he said.

“It is important that SEMMA is recognised as truly representative of the region.

“I think that this is now clear in our membership split between the different areas of our region, representing also diverse sectors within the manufacturing industry.”

He said the organisation could only be as good as its members.

“I can only encourage you to be as active as possible and to encourage your colleagues in other companies to talk to us about membership,” he said.

“We need to be able to count on you to inform us of the issues you are facing and possible solutions you could envisage.”

SEMMA President Simon Whiteley said the board had focused on how to engage with the government, research bodies, educators and the community “to support the emergence of the region as Victoria’s largest manufacturing base and the nation’s premier manufacturing centre”.

“The locally supported Smart Manufacturing ’16 event, in conjunction with Committee for Dandenong and Greater Dandenong Council, was one highlight of this direction, exposing the local businesses to beyond the south east and interacting with our future stakeholders of the region including the young future employees,” he said.

Incoming treasurer Markus Oswald delivered the financial report on behalf of Todd Hartley.

“Membership participation in SEMMA activities has grown, as has membership income and sponsorship,” he said.

Mr Oswald said Knox and Kingston councils came on board as new members.

Bombardier Transportation Australia managing director Rene Lalande joined the SEMMA board.

“Our collective presence here tonight demonstrates our joint commitment to growing the manufacturing footprint in this significant, thriving region,” he said.

“A region where every $1 spent in manufacturing creates $1.70 into the south-east Melbourne economy, a region that produces over 130,000 manufacturing jobs.”

Stars shining for a good cause Air guitar, Disney classics and roof raising ballads had the crowd pumping and the judges in a bicker at the Star Search for a Cause grand final.

Co-director of the competition Louise Berkelmans said the celebrity judges were blown away with the talent.

“It was very difficult to decide between the performances and they had one very heated discussion over the seniors section,” Ms Berkelmans said.

Fourteen aspiring acts performed on Sunday 24 July at Westfield Fountain Gate to a massive crowd of around 500.

From 80 audition hopefuls there were just four winners.

“All the winners and runner-up got a prize, a trophy and a gift bag,” Ms Berkelmans said.

The prize money was as high as $400 for the 21 and over category and the People’s Choice award went to Frankie Mileto.

“Hundreds of people voted for the People’s Choice on the day and we raised $1400 just on votes for the fan favourite,” Ms Berkelmans said.

It’s the competition’s eighth year and Ms Berkel-

mans said it will be back next year with a bang.

“We had great feedback from people who didn’t win as well, the atmosphere was fantastic and the level talent was probably the best we’ve seen,” she said.

The money raised goes to the Cancer Council and over eight years the competition has contributed $20,000 to cancer research.

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

RECEPTIONIST

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law.

Arcade games of the ’80s are making a comeback in Dandenong.

Envision Employment Services’ Work For the Dole participants and staff built six arcade units for Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS).

“These beautifully-crafted units will be a great addition to the youth recreational activities whilst also doubling up as an information resource whilst the machines are not being played,” he said.

SPORT Sawan gets set for his Rio Olympics shuttle

By DAVID NAGEL Close your eyes for a minute and imagine the feeling of marching into Rio’s Maracana Olympic Stadium with 80,000 people roaring as the next country is announced - ‘Australia’.

Australia’s most successful Olympic track cyclist, Anna Meares, proudly waves our flag with 410 of our country’s finest athletes in tow.

It may be a dream for us mortals - but for Narre Warren North’s Sawan Serasinghe it’s a dream that is about to become a reality.

Serasinghe is a star in the sport of badminton, a sport he started playing as a five-year-old in Sri Lanka and continued when he moved to Australia at the age of 11.

“Most people like cricket in Sri Lanka, but badminton was our family sport; my parents played it, and that’s how I got involved,” said the 22-yearold who will partner Matthew Chau in the Men’s Doubles at the Olympics, part of Australia’s fivestrong badminton team.

Moving to Melbourne, he progressed steadily through the junior ranks in Victoria before earning selection in several state teams. He was then scouted and asked to join the Australian team and hasn’t looked back ever since.

He and Chau were initially competitors at national level, but became partners for the Under 19 Oceania Championships three years ago. The pair has stuck together, combining Chau’s control with Serasinghe’s aggressive mindset to qualify for the greatest sporting event in the world.

“We played in the same national teams as juniors, and some thought we had potential, so we got paired together and the rest is history,” the hard-hitting left-hander said.

“To qualify for the Olympics we had to be the number one pair in Australia and Oceania and be ranked in the top 50 in the world. We qualified at number 46, but we’ve had some good results recently and risen to 36 in the world.”

The pair took out back-to-back Oceania Championship titles in 2015 and 2016, but Serasinghe understands the learning curve is about to get steeper.

“We will be the underdogs, but we’re very young, very fit, and very keen, and we hope to trouble some of the higher-ranked teams with our speed and our pace of play,” he said.

“Our style is based on offence, we try to set things up and attack on as many points as we can. If we get a good start, we can hopefully work through the group stages and earn qualification for a quarter final. We’ve played them all before and had good results and anything can happen at the Olympics.”

Serasinghe and Chau are training daily at the National Training Centre in Melbourne, and Serasinghe said he owed a lot to the lessons learnt from his coaches, including his club coach from Keysborough Hung Pham and current national head coach Lasse Bundgaard.

From Sri Lanka to Narre Warren to Brazil, Sawan Serasinghe’s Olympic journey will continue in the Badminton Men’s Doubles in Rio. 157111 Picture: ROB CAREW “I’ve learnt so much from my coaches: Hung Pham has been one of the top Vietnamese players; he pushed me to work hard, and I can’t thank our head coach enough for the work he has put in to help us improve.”

He said earning the title of an Olympian was starting to sink in.

“It’s starting to hit me slowly, we’ve got our uniforms, we’ve had information sessions with

the other athletes and motivational talks, but I don’t think it will really hit me until we get to Rio, settle into the village and walk into that stadium.”

Good luck Sawan - we mortals can only imagine.

The Rio Olympics begin on Friday 5 August, with the badminton beginning on Thursday 11.

Year is looking bright for Weir

By ROY ASPINALL Darren Weir had a record breaking 20152016 racing season and looks set to begin the new year with a win in the $200,000 Grand National Hurdle (3900 metres) at Ladbrokes Park, Sandown on Sunday 7 August.

Weir set a new Commonwealth record for the number of winners trained and, of course, that included the memorable Melbourne Cup victory in partnership with Michelle Payne and her strapper brother, Stevie.

The master trainer has said he is likely to be represented by Gingerboy who has raced five times over hurdles for three wins, a second and a third. He ran second to Arch Fire in the Australian Hurdle at Sandown in May. On 24 July Gingerboy ran a strong third to Zanteco and King of Dudes in the rich Brendan Drechsler Hurdle (3600 metres) at Bendigo.

Arch Fire has won the last two Australian Hurdles and is a definite chance if he runs but his last two runs have been over steeples.

The star New Zealand jumper Sea King is trained by Kevin Myer but each year he joins the Plumpton stables of Patrick Payne for the major steeplechases here.

This year he arrived early in July and first-up won brilliantly in the Thackery Steeplechase at Warrnambool on 10 July.

He gave the leaders a mammoth start before winning running away.

On 24 July he won his second successive Mosstrooper Steeplechase.

Weights will decide on whether he contests the Grand National Steeplechase (4500 metres) at Ballarat on Sunday 21 August.

Sea King, will probably be one of the main chances in the $125,000 Crisp Steeplechase (3900 metres) at Ladbrokes Park, Sandown on Sunday 7 August.

In July 2014 Sea King won the Grand National Steeplechase, then run at Ladbrokes Park, Sandown.

The Crisp Steeplechase is a perfect race for Sea King and a perfect lead up to the Grand National Steeplechase should he head that way.

He carried 70kg at Bendigo and will probably get 72kg to 74kg at Ballarat, the latter probably too high. The Crisp Steeplechase is a set weight event with penalties.

Course admission on Sunday 7 August is $10 for adults, $5 concession and children under 18 accompanied by an adult are admitted free.

Attractive dining packages are also available and bookings can be made by phoning 9257 7100.

Hot Siekman is glad to make the coaching grade

By RUSSELL BENNETT WAYNE Siekman is jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire, and he couldn’t be more excited about it.

The long-time assistant and development coach at the Dandenong Stingrays has been named as the inaugural senior coach of the Collingwood side in the AFL’s national women’s league, which takes to the field for the first time in 2017.

Still only 33 years old, Siekman has been coaching since he was 17 after injuries curtailed his playing career.

He has since gone on to coach the Vic Metro Youth Girls to national championships in 2015 and 2016, and was an assistant with the Vic Country under-18 side that won the national championships last year.

He’s also previously served as the head coach 38 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 1 August, 2016

of the Sandringham Youth Girls Academy among his other roles, but it’s his long-time association with the Stingrays that he’s most known for.

“I’ve been lucky to have been at the Rays for a long time and in that time I’ve covered off every role you can have from a coaching point of view, and that is the great thing about the Stingrays they develop players, but also coaches,” he said.

“I’ve been a development coach, runner, opposition coach, forwards, mids and backs coach, a senior assistant, and I also coached a TAC game last year.

“They gave me an opportunity and, further to that, have allowed me to coach the Vic Metro Youth Girls and Vic Country under-18s the last few years and I’ve had to miss a few games to do that so that shows how supportive they are.”

Siekman admitted he had imagined one day holding a senior coaching role in an AFL environment, and now that day has actually arrived.

“As you gradually go along the coaching pathway, you always think to yourself ‘could this be me one day?’,” he said.

“Obviously, to be given this opportunity in the inaugural season for the women’s league is a great achievement and something I am truly honoured (in), especially to be given the chance to coach the biggest and best club in the AFL.” Siekman had a brief stint at Collingwood in December when he got the chance to take part in a week of personal development with the club’s coaches.

“They were great - they allowed full access to all meetings and training - and it certainly helped me this year, especially with the Vic Metro girls in improving on and off-field performances,” he said.

Now, a whole new footballing world has been opened up to him.

Dandenong Stingrays mentor Wayne Siekman is now senior coach of the Collingwood Women’s team.

fitness and tactics was crucial to success.

“At training we concentrate a lot on fitness and technique and put them both to the test in separate sparring sessions,” Liew said before praising his coach, Master No, for the impact he has had on his competition results.

“My coach has really given me a different perspective to my fights,” Liew said.

Raymond Liew has transformed himself from a five-year-old who didn’t enjoy the sport into one of Australia’s top junior exponents of the Korean martial art of Taekwondo.

The 16-year-old Endeavour Hills youngster booked his ticket to the Oceania Championships in Suva, Fiji, in November, with victory earlier this month in the WTF Presidents Cup in Canberra.

Competitors from as far and wide as French Polynesia, Korea and New Zealand took part in the event, with hosted different weight categories in three age groups, Cadets, Juniors and Seniors.

Liew defeated Brazilian Diego Cordeiro in the final of the Junior Male A-55 category to secure one of two spots in the division.

The high-skill and dedication that was on display was a far cry from the disinterested child who first tied up a belt.

“It was nothing serious to start with, it was more to get me out of the house, and I really didn’t enjoy it, to be honest,” said the second dan black belt.

“But now I love it. I started competing about three years ago and it changed the way I think about the sport.

“At the club you just fight against the same people, but with competition you meet new people, enjoy different experiences, and see a variety of different fighting styles.”

The year-11 student at Wellington Secondary College in Mulgrave trains at Joon No’s Taekwondo in Dandenong, and has already had overseas experience competing in events in Thailand and Korea.

Liew said those experiences were invaluable for his progression.

“The different fighting styles change even more when you go from state and national level to international competitions, you can really see the difference and it’s a great learning experience,” he said.

Taekwondo is a sport where competitors score
