I have been Chairperson of atEAST since 2014, and in that time, we have supported more than 1,000 young people to gain crucial experience, achieve success and find work-related career pathways. The Department of Education’s recent ‘HeadStart’ initiative is very much based on our atEAST model, which has been successfully in place now for 24 years! In fact, our consortium schools now run a parallel HeadStart program based on combining VCE studies and work placements and we already lead the state in outcomes in that program as well. While VCE does get a significant portion of the media coverage, our VCAL students must, if anything, be more organised and disciplined over their senior school years than VCE students, to be able to successfully navigate their school studies, TAFE and on the job training. Our students in each of the consortium schools continue to be recognised and win awards in our greater community. What a credit to them and the atEAST program! This year we had increased numbers of students and employment in new industries. The program catered for 270 students across 50 different industries requiring relationships with 57 different Registered Training Organisation departments. Our students have even become ambassadors for the program, telling their friends and sporting colleagues to change schools to be a part of what atEAST can offer. It gives us great pride that our students are embracing this learning program. I would like to thank the key people who make such a valuable contribution to the program. I would like to acknowledge and thank Margaret Uren our Treasurer for atEAST, Croydon Community School and their Principal Bernadette Bowling for providing a home to the atEAST team with offices at their Wheelers Hill site. Thank you also to Eva McMaster for hosting our atEAST Awards Presentation on Tuesday 3rd December in the Performance Centre at Doncaster Secondary College. I would also like to thank my administrative staff at Yarra Hills Secondary College as we have continued throughout the year in our role of Lead School looking after the atEAST operations. From 2020, this Lead School role and the associated Chairperson role will rotate through to Upwey High School. Thank you to Tom and Upwey in assuming this role on behalf of the consortium and I look forward to a continuation of our successful program under your leadership. Across the education sector, our program is considered ‘best practice’ not only for the creation, operation and success of the consortium but for the development of the atEAST program to specifically work with our VCAL students in an SBAT program. The rates of completion and the conversion rates into full-time work for our students exceed all government expectations and serve as testament to the success of our program. The holistic approach of the atEAST team in working with our students is a key aspect of this and it is great that through their work they are at the forefront of change and considered as valuable advisors to key stakeholder and strategic planning groups and to those in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector of education. On behalf of our schools and school communities, I’d like to thank the 2019 atEAST team: Loretta Goldsmith, Bronwyn Pratt, Nerida Parsons, Pat Johnson, Judy Couroulis, Sarah D’Arcy-Evans, Michelle Goldsmith & Trudi Owens. Congratulations on delivering another outstanding year of opportunities and outcomes for our students. We wish you a safe and festive holiday period and look forward to continued success in 2020. Page 2 From the Executive Officer - Loretta Goldsmith Vocational education is an excellent career choice I am very grateful to the atEAST Consortium of schools for their dedication to vocational education and apprenticeships. School based apprenticeships and traineeships are a great way to start a successful career. Thank you to all our employers for investing in school based programs that bring apprenticeships and traineeships to the forefront of opportunity. To the teachers and people from the training sector of education – Thank You. You make sure that work experience, is also a learning experience. There are many benefits of school based apprenticeships and traineeships: SBATs help businesses to get the right people SBATs help society, reducing the levels of youth unemployment, and SBATs give young people the opportunity to get the skills that companies need to compete. In this rapidly changing world, we need to update our skills almost as soon as we learn them! Our young people have embraced the employability skill of life long learning to meet the ever changing demands of their industries. Some of us fear change, in contrast, today’s youth embrace change; they are flexible and adaptable. If you look at the national skills shortage list, Australia needs apprentices and trainees. And involvement in the atEAST SBAT program is one of the first steps, in closing the skills gaps. Apprenticeships and traineeships should be a real learning experience and when our young people are in a program like atEAST their success rate is currently over 90% to achieve completion. The clearly defined learning goals, our mentoring and visits to TAFE and work in support of our students is reaping success. We have to make clear to Australia’s children and parents: Students can find their talent and their passion, they can build a good career, they can earn a good salary, in vocational education. Our program is an excellent example of this. I want you to picture the Rolls Royce board room; half of the board members of Rolls Royce, one of Britain’s finest engineering companies, were apprentices, and I think it’s a really important point to focus on. The only barriers our young people have is their belief in their own abilities. Our students have the capacity to not only be the board members of large companies but also the owners, and this will happen if we encourage them to work towards their dreams. I am so very proud of what atEAST has achieved; we really do have some exceptional students in our program who are already making a mark in their industry. My thanks to my incredible team – the hardest working group of ladies who dedicate their time to supporting your students in this program. My thanks to Bronn, Nerida, Pat, Judy, Sarah, Trudi and Michelle. Keep smiling everyone as there is plenty to celebrate in our SBAT program. Thank you for being part of our program in 2019. We wish you a Merry Christmas and safe and happy new year. Page 3 atEAST Awards Night atEAST Awards Night atEAST held our annual Awards Night on Tuesday 3rd December, where we recognised the success of the students who have participated in the atEAST program in 2019. Students nominated and receiving awards have shown commitment, dedication and enthusiasm towards all aspects of their program throughout the year. To be acknowledged as the best in your industry in the atEAST Program is a significant achievement. To demonstrate this when you have little or no competition is even harder because you must create your own high standards and have the drive to better yourself on a daily basis. This year we had a number of students who were deserving of winning an award and the final decision came down to the finer details and results of each aspect of the program — school, TAFE and work. Congratulations to all of our students on such an outstanding effort this year. You should all be proud to be a nominee or an award winner and keep striving for the best! Well done to our student presenters: Paul Iacuone, Jemma Stapleton, Aleksi Ziskov, Siena Biffaro, Darian Burgess, Rawson Polchow, Tia Warford, Thomas Kelly, Matthew Goldsmith and Elaya Carbone. You all did a fantastic job! We look forward to seeing what the next 12 months brings for our students. Congratulations to all of our winners this evening, be proud of your achievements and continue to work hard and with determination to reach your goals and fulfil your dreams.

  • Australian Education Union Submission Inquiry Into the Role Of
    Australian Education Union Submission Inquiry into the role of Technical and Further Education system and its operation May 2013 Angelo Gavrielatos Australian Education Union Federal President Ground Floor, 120 Clarendon Street Southbank Vic 3006 Susan Hopgood PO Box 1158 Federal Secretary South Melbourne Vic 3205 Telephone: +61 (0)3 9693 1800 Facsimile: +61 (0)3 9693 1805 Web: www.aeufederal.org.au E-mail: [email protected] 2 Executive Summary The Australian Education Union (AEU) welcomes the opportunity to provide a written submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education and Employment Inquiry into the role of the technical and further education (TAFE) system and its operation. The AEU is an organisation of employees registered under the provisions of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009. It has approximately 190,000 members employed in government schools and public early childhood work locations, in public institutions of vocational and/or technical and further education and training, in Adult Multicultural or Migrant Education Service centres and in Disability Services centres as teachers, school leaders and education assistance or support work classifications. This is the first Federal Government inquiry into the TAFE system in Australia since the Kangan inquiry initiated in 1973 by the Whitlam government. The Kangan Report, released in 1974 is widely acknowledged as the foundation of the modern TAFE system. This House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education and Employment Inquiry into the role of the TAFE system and its operation comes at a crucial moment for TAFE in Australia. Whilst there is an emerging consensus amongst policy makers in Australia of the critical significance of a high quality and well resourced vocational education sector to the future prosperity of an equitable Australian society, the TAFE system is under sustained attack.
