We wanted to hear her story and vision on how the students went. Joanne Keune: The advent of the mobile phone has caused young people to rely on texting and slowly avoid face to face communication - or even talking on the telephone. The Grade 11 speech night - now in its 3rd year, aims to give students a chance to deliver their speeches on stage in front of an audience. The fear of public speaking, or glossophobia, is the num- ber one fear in the world (prior COVID) - it is the most extreme form of face to face communication. This extreme fear in- jects a major dose of self confidence and self-esteem into our students. For many it might be the only public speech they ever deliver, for others it will be the first of many. Students can choose their own topic to speak about. Students write their own speech - and learn to trust their own words. This year in 2020, we saw the most vulnerable speeches delivered. Students were gutsy, raw, and honest. These speeches can be seen on Youtube on the Speakeze Channel. Take a moment - they are only 4 minutes and the ideas covered are di- verse. Funny isn't it - we can pay someone to do almost anything for us - cut our hair, do our taxes, fix our legal problems - but we can't pay someone to speak for us. No one else can know and express our individual thoughts. We learn math at school - we learn to write - and yet little focus on how to speak. I am so very proud as a Pimlico alumna, to see Pimlico rec- ognise this critical individual skill - and put a special focus on it. Globality is about communication. People, countries listening to each other – listening to other ideas and ways of doing things. Learning, improving - all towards a better world. PAGE 7 Student Testimonials: “I have learnt that there is no excuse to not show up. Writing and practicing a speech is straight forward and procrastination is what holds us back." “You actually gave me a boost of self-confidence, thank you" “I have learnt that public speaking can be really rewarding - you just have to give things a go” “I liked the chance to listen to everyone else speak - and what they thought" PAGE 3 Passion, enthusiasm, motivation and innovation were all traits that were present during our first Youth Reef Engage- ment workshop presented by Reef Ecologic in partnership with the Global Education Department. The Youth Reef Workshop is a new program under the guidance of Pimlico Think Tank which is designed to allow students to express their voice on topics that are important to them; with a foucs on The Great Barrier Reef. This program allows for students to express Pimlico SHS Global Citizen attributes of resilience and innovation as they look at ways to protect The Great Barrier Reef and engage with our local community. Reef Ecologic, a non-for-profit organisation, are working with local natural resource management group, NQ Dry Tropics to develop a local community action plan for our Townsville community. They aim to engage Burdekin youth (<25 years old) in discussions to help determine priority pro- jects for the region in the coming years. The workshop was designed to determine priority areas for preservation, con- servation and potential projects or ideas that should be pro- gressed and resourced in our region. Throughout the morning, students learnt the history and interesting facts about the reef, then determined their own personal values of the reef and the Townsville environment. The students developed action plans that focused on strate- gies, actions, outcomes. We had students cultivate plans that included; beach clean ups to prevent pollution, improve en- vironmental practices of tourism operators on the GRB through partnerships with Sealink and Tourism Townsville, monitoring the fishing industry to prevent poaching through intergovernmental agencies to sustainable tourism plans on Magnetic Island. We will develop this partnership further to hopefully allow some fieldwork in the near future! “I developed my teamwork and problem-solving skills on a topic that I feel is important, the reef” – Ceilidh. “I enjoyed the personal and interactive focus of this pro- gram, and it allowed myself to understand different perspec- tives of the Great Barrier Reef” – Callum. “Public speaking and presenting ideas I was most passionate about, was something I highly enjoyed with this program” – Sarah. PAGE 4 For the past 13 weeks, 20 selected Year 10 students have been participating in an innovative program to develop entrepreneurial skills through the Australian School of Entrepreneurship (ASE). They have had guest speakers, mentorship opportunities, developed partnerships through the Townsville City Council and been given some seed funding to develop their own businesses. These are some of their stories. What was something you learnt and/or enjoyed throughout the Create Your Future Job Program? The program created many opportunities for us to view businesses from differ- ent perspectives. Working together in a way showed us the skills required to work in a company. The many different activities and projects we did inspired us. – Aaddi, Sophie and Monique I enjoyed learning how to manage income and money. I had fun developing the advertising for my own business, the group project and through the various ac- tivities. – Lillee What was something you thought challenged you throughout this pro- gram? Communication, having to speak about your ideas. This was especially tricky when we did our group project as everyone had different ideas. – Nadia The biggest challenge I thought was communication, being able to express your ideas and share what you think is tricky. It did however build up my confidence to speak which I thought was an major achievement in this program. – Dionne What was your main ‘takeaway’ from this program? This program taught us how to manage a business, budget and organise our finances personally. There were a lot of life skills that we learnt, through a fun and interactive environment. – Aaddi, Sophie and Monique This program allowed me to get a taste for the world of business, and give me ideas to what I actually enjoy and ways to start a career. – Lillee Would you recommend this program to someone else in Year 10? Explain I would recommend this to someone else in Year 10, as it helped me so much and gave me insights into a world I didn’t know about. The various activities were fun and I am thankful I signed up for this program when it was offered. – Nadia I would absolutely recommend this program to the next group of Year 10s (if offered), as they would love the opportunity to do something different and get chosen for something you might not think you ever would be selected for. It was a lot of fun and enjoyable to be part of. – Dionne PAGE 5 Business, business and even more business. These were the main concepts that were driving the Year 10 Entrepreneurship students across the course of 13 weeks. The thought that they could develop their own business at the end of this program. Their first task was to develop a group business opportunity which encouraged teamwork and collaboration. After much heated discussion, it was decided the group would focus on a car wash business plan. In the led up, the students worked within teams each focusing on various aspects of a business plan; COVID-Safety, Operations, Finance, and Management under the guidance of the ASE team to make their venture come to reality. Across the course of the day, students washed 107 cars, sold over 100 cans of soft-drink/ water and generated over $2,000 in profit. A true success for their first ever business opportunity. Many thanks for our Pimlico school community for com- ing out and supporting our young people in finding their passions. As part of their own small-business developments in late term 4, students were advertising their small-business at the local markets (Cotters in Flinders St and at the Willows) across two weekends. Students had established small start-ups in photography, errands solutions, jewellery, circus basking, dog-walking to name a few. They are working on promoting their start-ups on social media and around the school. There is even a tv-commercial in the progress! Best of luck to students in their new found ventures. PAGE 6 One the core concepts of communication training in Year 10 is the ability to work with younger students to achieve a com- mon outcome or goal. In Year 10 Global Studies, students have been working with Joanne Keune (our communication coach) through the Speakeze communication program to teach students the skills needed to work collaboratively and effec- tively with young people.

  • Chapter 21 Economics
    SECTION 21 Economic Development Section 21 Economic Development October 2016 21.0 Economic Development 21.1 Introduction The economic environment and the economic impact from the development of the Port Expansion Project (PEP) are discussed in Chapter B.19 (Economic Development) of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The economic assessment discussed the existing and future demand for Port capacity. The assessment defined and assessed a base case against the expected developed port to identify any positive or negative impacts during the construction and operation phases. The estimated economic benefit (in present values), of the Project was estimated to be of around $1,500 million. Socio-economic impacts were also assessed, including housing, commercial fishing, labour markets and employment. This section provides responses to submissions from public consultation and the results of new analysis that identifies the economic role of the Port in the region, and regional risks resulting from capacity constraints of the Port. This chapter section is not intended to represent a business case for the PEP, or an update on an existing business case for the PEP, however the information presented here is required under the Terms of Reference to provide context for economic impacts. Key matters raised within the submission process include: . justification of the need to expand the Port of Townsville in context of present berth utilisation . the role of the port in the economic stability, sustainability and development of North Queensland and the risks and flow-on effects of removing this capacity . consideration of using alternative ports to cater for increased demand, especially any future coal exports .

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • Mungalla Past and Present
    Mungalla Past and Present 2018 ungalla Station is located in north Queensland, between the cities of Townsville and Cairns, 12 kilometres east of the town of Ingham. This area is the traditional country of the Nywaigi Aboriginal people, who have occupied these lands for thou- M sands of years. Nywaigi ancestral land is approximately the coastal region from the Herbert River in the north to Rollingstone in the south, and to Stone River in the west. For 120 years however, Mungalla was the property of European settlers. From the 1860s Aboriginal people had been dispersed from the coastal areas of north Queensland as the sugar cane and cattle industries encroached on their traditional lands. The Mungalla cattle property was founded in 1882 by James Cassady, a pioneer of the north Queensland pastoral industry, but he allowed the Nywaigi people to continue living on the property and was a strong advocate for Aboriginal people. Howev- er, again in the twentieth century, Nywaigi and other Aboriginal people were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands under government-sponsored programmes. Many were relocated to Palm Is- land, off the nearby coast, which is not part of Nywaigi country. In 1999, when Mungalla was pur- chased by the Indigenous Land Corporation, the ownership returned to the Nywaigi people, who now own the 880 hectares that makes up the property today. The property was purchased to benefit the Aboriginal community financially, socially and spiritual- ly. The Mission Statement of the traditional owners is as follows: Mungalla Station is a resource owned by the Nywaigi Traditional Owners for the purpose of foster- ing Aboriginal cultural values by building economic and cultural opportunities through the careful use of our country as a legacy for our children.
