BUSY SCHOOLS NEWS Term 2, Week 6 BUSY SCHOOLS NEWS Term 2, Week 6 May 28 2021 Dear Parents, Mock Interviews Parliament House Visit We have now completed half of term 2, with only 4 weeks remaining of semester 1. This means that your child has only 3 semesters left before Work Experience Update they will be completing Year 12. All of our students are working towards their QCE and they will hopefully gain 3 credit points for semester 1. The QCE is Queensland’s senior schooling qualification. It is internationally recognized and a sign of academic and personal success. To receive a QCE, students must achieve 20 credits of learning, at the set standard, in a set pattern, while meeting numeracy requirements. The school is working with each student to track their progress to help them achieve the QCE. Once again I must reiterate the importance of students attending school so they can stay up to date with all learning and assessment. This will help students to achieve their QCE and successfully graduate from Year 12. Attending school also prepares students for the workforce by demonstrating they are punctual and reliable. If parents need to contact the school about their child’s attendance or any other matter we ask that you contact via telephone on 0734404241 or email. If our line is busy you now have the option to leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible. In addition, we have a separate line for attendance where you can leave a short message. Shane Blood PRINCIPAL Mock Interviews Last week students took part in mock interviews as part of their assessment for Social & Community Studies. Practising for job interviews is a good way for students to get used to talking about themselves and why people should hire them. The feedback from employers who took part in interviewing students was very positive. Some of the common questions that most students struggled with were: 1. Tell me about yourself The interviewer wants to know about your skills and experience. They’re interested in things that show you could do the job well. 2. What are your strengths? This means the things you’re good at. This is a good chance to sell yourself as the right person for the job. Mention one or two things you’re good at and talk about how these things will help you do the job well. Use examples from your experience. Don’t lie or exaggerate. 3. What are your weaknesses? The best way to answer is to be positive. This is a chance to show that you know what you need to improve about yourself. Choose one specific thing you can improve on. Make sure you pick something that’s not essential to the job and talk about what you’re doing to improve. Parliament House Visit On Tuesday Jade and Kristen had the opportunity to visit Parliament House and get to see how Government works. They were invited by Minister Mick de Brenni - Member for Springwood and they also got to meet Deputy Premier Steven Miles, Minister Grace Grace and Minister Meaghan Scanlon – Member for Gaven. As part of their visit they were also very fortunate to witness Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk introduce the voluntary assisted dying bill in Parliament. Work Experience Update This week Kristen has started work experience with FVS, they look after fire protection with the installation and servicing of fire panels and the plumbing associated with sprinkler detection. .

  • Media Release Minister for Housing and Public Works and Minister for Sport Queensland Government the Honourable Mick De Brenni
    Palaszczuk Government makes history with nation leading subbies payment reforms - The Queensland Cabinet and Ministerial Directory 13/7/20, 1:20 pm I Media release Minister for Housing and Public Works and Minister for Sport Queensland Government The Honourable Mick de Brenni Thursday, October 26, 2017 Palaszczuk Government makes history with nation leading subbies payment reforms Today marks a new era for the state’s building and construction industry, with the Palaszczuk Government’s historic subcontractors payment legislation passed through the Parliament. Minister for Housing and Public Works Mick de Brenni said the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Bill 2017 would bring security and confidence to the Queensland’s $45 billion construction industry. “For far too long, subcontractors have had to shoulder most of the financial risk on building projects, but that changes today,” Mr de Brenni said. “These reforms help ensure that subcontractors in the building and construction industry are paid in full and on time, every time. With these reforms, Queensland will have the strongest protections for subcontractors anywhere in Australia.” Mr de Brenni paid tribute to the extraordinary contribution of the Speaker Peter Wellington. “It’s almost unheard of for the Speaker to vacate the chair in order to speak on a bill, and entirely unprecedented for an independent Speaker give such passionate support for a policy of the Premier and her government,” Mr de Brenni said. “We are where we are today because of the dedication the Speaker Wellignton has shown in standing up for his constituents after the 2014 Walton’s collapse, which sent so many subcontractors to the wall.

  • 2021-03-24 Letter to Minister Bailey Re Lambert Road Traffic
    24 March 2021 Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey MP Via email: [email protected] CC: Minister for Education Grace Grace MP Via email: [email protected] Request for a meeting to discuss trac congestion in the Lambert Rd precinct Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to you about a significant trac and transport issue impacting my electorate that I would appreciate discussing with you or your sta. By way of background, the trac issues around the Lambert Rd precinct in Indooroopilly are a long-standing concern for local residents. The pressure added around school drop o and pick up times is enormous in this part of the neighbourhood. The precinct currently hosts more than 5,000 students at Indooroopilly State High (ISHS), St Peter Lutheran College (St Peters), Brigidine College and Holy Family Primary School. Some but not all of those students currently catch public transport, walk or cycle to school, and we don’t at this stage have a clear picture of the relevant transport mode share at all of the schools. The State Government’s recent proposal to build a new primary school on the grounds of Indooroopilly State High School has highlighted the extent of residents’ concerns about the trac issues, and the negative impact it’s having on their lives and ability to move around their neighbourhood. During the consultation process for the school, hundreds of residents made submissions, and contacted me and the Education Minister to oppose this proposed location for another school, primarily because of the significant trac issues the precinct is already facing.

  • Maiden Speech
    Speech By Meaghan Scanlon MEMBER FOR GAVEN Record of Proceedings, 20 March 2018 MAIDEN SPEECH Ms SCANLON (Gaven—ALP) (3.31 pm): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and can I add my congratulations on your election to the important role of Speaker of this House. I rise for the first time today honoured to represent the people and community that I grew up in and love, and conscious of the incredible responsibility that has been bestowed upon me. I know that my presence here is rather unlikely so I thank the constituents of Gaven for their trust in me. My first acknowledgement is to the traditional owners of the land on which we gather here today, the Jagera and Turrbal peoples. I also acknowledge the traditional owners of the land that I represent, the Kombumerria and Wangerriburra people, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. One of my earliest memories of becoming interested in politics was in primary school where I learnt about our country’s cruel treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. I distinctly remember watching the Rabbit-Proof Fence in my year 7 social studies class and feeling a deep sense of shame. That shame heightened when I found out that our Prime Minister at the time, John Howard, was refusing to simply say sorry for the well-known and well-documented atrocities carried out against our First Australians. To sit in this House for the first time in the week of the 10th anniversary of Kevin Rudd’s National Apology to the Stolen Generations was a timely reminder of how much more we need to achieve along the path to reconciliation.
