Paws for some fun Victoria University held a Stress Less Fest for its students, complete with canine companions. The festival is aimed at giving students a break from studies and assignments, and allowing them a chance to recharge, either online or on campus. VU volunteer and first year nursing student Hannah Joyce said it was “really fun” to unwind and play with some cute dogs. “I think a lot of people are stressed at uni with assignments right now,” she said. “Being able to play with the dogs helps you reduce stress, and remain calm.” The Stress Less Fest last week included wellbeing workshops, mindfulness colouring stations, live music, and pop-up stalls across all VU campuses. Wellbeing services manager Margaret Theologou said the festival was a necessary addition to the student calendar. Michaela Meade

Highpoint COVID scare By Benjamin Millar Visitors to a number of Highpoint shopping centre stores are being forced into 14-day quarantine after five different locations were identified as Tier 1 COVID-19 exposure sites. The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services sounded the alarm on Monday after contact tracers tracked a COVID-positive patient’s movements back to the popular shopping centre on the evening of May 20. The department further revised its public exposure sites warning for Highpoint on Tuesday afternoon, naming Lush Cosmetics, Toyworld, Smiggle, Kidstuff and Ishka as Tier 1 exposure sites. Visitors to Highpoint shopping centre

are required to get tested immediately and quarantine for 14 days from exposure if they attended any of these locations during the following times on Thursday, May 20: • Kidstuff (Level 2) from 5.20pm – 5.55pm • Toyworld (Level 2) from 5.30pm – 6.20pm • Ishka (Level 2) from 5.45pm – 6.20pm • Smiggle (Level 3) from 5.55pm – 6.30pm • Lush Cosmetics (Level 2) 6.05pm – 6.35pm Shoppers who visited all other areas on Levels 2 and 3 from 5.15pm – 6.35pm are required to get tested urgently and to isolate until they receive a negative result. Highpoint owner GPT said that centre management has received notification the centre has been listed as a COVID-19 public exposure site by the Victorian Department of

Health and Human Services. A spokesperson said centre management continues to monitor the situation, and is following all relevant advice and guidance issued by the Department of Health and Human Services with regards to COVID-19. “We will continue with all precautionary hygiene measures already implemented, including heightened cleaning regimes throughout all high traffic areas,” the spokesperson said. The Highpoint scare comes as some restrictions were reintroduced in Metro Melbourne on Tuesday night as the number of active coronavirus cases grew. Masks will be compulsory indoors for anyone 12 years of age and older, private gatherings

indoors will be limited to five people and public gatherings will be limited to 30 people. Chief health officer Brett Sutton said the restrictions would remain in place until Friday, June 4, when they will be reviewed. The reintroduction of restrictions follows a fifth positive COVID-19 case, a man in his 60s, connected to four people who tested positive in the City of Whittlesea on Monday. Meanwhile Western Bulldogs players and staff have all received coronavirus tests and are isolating until they receive a negative result, after a staff member reported being at Highpoint during the exposure period. The club expects minimal disruption to its preparations for Friday night’s match against Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.

Budget cash for inner west By Benjamin Millar Two inner-west schools and the iconic Williamstown Lifesaving Club are set for a makeover after scoring a funding boost in the latest state budget. Handed down by Treasurer Tim Pallas last Thursday, the 2021-22 budget included $13.4 million to upgrade and modernise Block C at Footscray City Primary as part of the Footscray Education Plan. Wembley Primary School in Yarraville will receive $10.2 million to upgrade and

modernise the school’s main building. This year’s budget also includes $11.35 million to upgrade and restore the Williamstown Life Saving Club and $1 million to upgrade change rooms, training and administration facilities at Downer Oval, home of the Williamstown Seagulls Football Club. Inner-west commuters will benefit from a $94 million upgrade to the Melton and Wyndham Vale corridor, enabling higher capacity trains including nine-car VLocity trains to increase capacity by up to 50 per cent during peak periods.

The budget also includes $1.79 million in funding to support early diagnosis and treatment of childhood asthma to achieve better long-term health outcomes in Melbourne’s inner-west communities. People impacted by family violence will receive improved support, with Sunshine court included in the expansion of the network of specialist family violence courts. These courts are specially designed to make attending court a less daunting experience for victim-survivors, including separate entrances and exits, safe waiting areas and dedicated space for children.

Footscray MP Katie Hall said the state government is investing heavily in community care and creating new job opportunities for thousands of Victorians. “Our government always puts caring for communities like Footscray at the heart of everything it does, she said. “I’ve seen first-hand the difference a great school can make.” Williamstown MP Melissa Horne said the quality of an education system is measured by the quality of its schools. “That’s why I’m so excited that we’re delivering this upgrade to Wembley Primary School,” she said.

Hardship policy questioned

Five decades of volunteering June Ivory has spent more than half her life volunteering at Footscray Hospital. The 91-year-old was last week recognised by Western Health for 50 years of volunteering as part of its annual volunteer celebration. The event was held to mark National Volunteer Week. Mrs Ivory said she had never imagined reaching 50 years of volunteering at the hospital. “I didn’t think I would even get to 90 [years old],” she said.

“It’s really, really good. A lady who lived in my street … She asked if I wanted to join and I said yes. You didn’t work in those days.” Mrs Ivory started working in the shop at Footscray Hospital before manning stalls and taking up knitting for the hospital. She also sold fruit from trucks in the carpark at both Sunshine and Footscray hospitals to raise money. She said the biggest change in her 50 years of volunteering was the number of people at the hospital these days and the increase of

volunteers. “I’ve met a lot of people along the way,” Mrs Ivory said. Among others recognised, was Charlie the border collie, who has been a volunteer at Sunshine Hospital along with handler Sue Harvey for five years. Western Health normally has 650 volunteers, along with students, through community engagement programs.

A Maribyrnong ratepayer has questioned why the council does not waive rate payments in times of hardship. Arthur Bregiannis questioned the council about its hardship policy at last week’s council meeting, amid concerns rates in the City of Maribyrnong are too high. He also asked the council how many residents would need to sign a petition before it considered lowering rates. “The community has suffered a lot [during the COVID-19 pandemic] … many people were unable to pay their rates,” he said. Mr Bregiannis’ questions coincided with the release of an Ombudsman’s report into the rates and hardship practices of local councils. The report revealed Maribyrnong council does not have a policy to allow rates to be waived. Hobsons Bay council’s hardship policy includes deferrals, as well as waivers “in exceptional circumstances”. Last month, it was revealed Maribyrnong ratepayers paid the fourth highest average residential rates and charges in metropolitan Melbourne, according to Victorian councils’ budget documents for 2020-21. Responding to Mr Bregiannis’ questions at last week’s council meeting, mayor Michael Clarke said council did not need to waive rates as it offered ratepayers “opportunities to defer” their payments. “We are not immune to understanding the hardship requirements and needs [of] our community.” Cr Clarke said council was “happy to hear submissions” from the community about possible actions to reduce rates.

Vision for reconciliation

Meetings reopen to public Maribyrnong council has confirmed the first council meeting that will be open to the public following the COVID-19 pandemic. The gallery will open to the public on Tuesday, June 1, and for the next ordinary council meeting on Tuesday, June 15. With social distancing practices in place, the gallery will only be able to hold 12 members. Residents are encouraged to arrive early to secure a place.

Maribyrnong Cr Simon Crawford Aboriginal peoples have a deep and continuous connection to the place we now call Victoria. Aboriginal peoples have lived in the Maribyrnong River valley since the beginning of the Dreaming/s. The word ‘Maribyrnong’ is an anglicised version of ‘Mirring-gnay-bir-nong’, the literal translation meaning ‘I can hear a ringtail possum’ from the Woiwurrung language. British occupation in Maribyrnong in the 1830s significantly impacted Aboriginal peoples – decimating communities, displacing families and disrupting lives. In spite of historical injustices, Aboriginal cultures remain a dynamic and continuing force in society, and integral to a diverse and thriving inner west. As the closest level of government to the community, it is extremely important council continues working collaboratively with First Nations peoples towards reconciliation. Our shared understanding of reconciliation is defined by the building of positive, respectful relationships with a focus on working together to close the gaps and achieve a shared sense of fairness and justice. A tangible example of this commitment is council’s Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which has been endorsed following a three-year engagement with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander partners. Importantly, this plan is the first RAP Maribyrnong has had endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. The RAP will be rolled out over the coming two

years to deliver on the commitments outlined in the action plan and to guide council on decisions regarding matters such as January 26. These actions include, continuous deliberative engagement through cultural learnings, promotion of employment and procurement opportunities, and implementing strategies to ensure all staff are engaged and invested in the importance of reconciliation. Maribyrnong City Council’s vision for reconciliation involves the entire Maribyrnong community positively engaging and celebrating the histories and cultures of our Traditional Custodians, the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation, and all First Nations peoples of our community.

The Maribyrnong Community Survey is open until Friday, May 28. Footscray Police are inviting the community to express their thoughts about key safety issues.

Altona job losses ‘devastating’ By Michaela Meade The loss of 150 Altona-based jobs has been labelled a “devastating blow”. Petrochemical company Qenos announced last week it would close and mothball one of two ethylene units in Altona, as well as one of the two polyethylene plants, resulting in a 15 per cent reduction in total domestic production. Qenos employs 400 people at its Altona site and 650 people Australia-wide. The United Workers Union national

secretary Tim Kennedy said the union would “urgently” seek further information about which jobs would be lost in order to properly support members. Altona MP Jill Hennessy and Williamstown MP Melissa Horne said in a joint statement they “stand ready to assist” the locals impacted by Qenos’ decision. “For our community and its rich industrial history, this is devastating,” they said. “We will work with Qenos, unions, and industry to understand the role that we can play in supporting workers and families as they

grapple with this incredibly sad news.” Qenos chief executive Stephen Bell said the decision to reconfigure parts of the business enabled the company to continue operating its remaining facilities. “The impact of the Altona Refinery closure, combined with current ethane supply volumes, means we simply do not have enough total feedstock supply to keep these plants fully utilised,” Mr Bell said. “We’ve not taken this decision lightly and deeply regret the loss of jobs. “Our priority going forward is to support our affected employees through this transition.”

In February, ExxonMobil announced the closure of its Altona refinery after 72 years. At the time, it was flagged the closure would have massive flow-on effects for the industry. ExxonMobil last week said it values the “long-standing relationships built with our partners across the petrochemical sector”. “We have been engaging with Qenos since February to minimise any potential impacts of the transition of the Altona refinery to a modern import terminal,” a representative said. The changes are expected to come into effect later this year.

A head start for safety outcome for players and team following head contact events. So why not give them a go?” While Nugent and fellow coach Craig Bayley thought introducing helmets for players would protect them, they understood the cost could be prohibitive for some parents. That’s where Bayley’s business, ECB Training Services, stepped in. Bayley and his wife Evelyn have since purchased helmets for every player on the team who wanted one. “A majority of the team, in excess of 70 per cent [elected to wear the helmets],“ Bayley said. “Football is a contact sport so unfortunately these scenarios are going to happen with or without donned head gear. It’s all about looking after the welfare of our players so we are not putting them at risk of injury.” Players began wearing the head gear during games last week. Michaela Meade

Altona Junior Football Club has added another element to its game-plan, and it’s proving a winner. Members of the junior club have been given helmets to wear during games, in a bid to reduce the risk of head injuries. Co-coach Warren Nugent said with concussion and the long term effects of head injuries of AFL players in the spotlight recently, some players and parents had expressed concerns. Nugent also had some personal experience with head injuries at the club and decided he wanted to do something. “After losing a player to the game permanently, and another sidelined following head clash incidents, I was both concerned and frustrated,” Nugent said. “So with the health and happiness of our kids at front of mind, and with the potential for losing more kids to the game, I proposed a simple addition to our team – helmets. “The use of helmets may provide a better

Footscray, a city divided Calls for a supervised injection room in key areas, including Footscray, has ignited passions. Reason Party leader Fiona Patten raised the issue during a drug policy symposium in New Zealand last week. Despite acting Victorian premier James Merlino’s assurance there is no state support for such a move, Footscray is divided. Michaela Meade reports. Community members in support of a supervised injection room in the suburb rallied in Footscray on Saturday. Victorian Socialists assistant secretary and rally organiser Liz Walsh said the rally was a direct response to an anit-injecting room rally held on Wednesday, May 19. “The rally on Wednesday night [was] right-wing populism at its worst,” Ms Walsh said. “It is extremely disappointing to see [Maribyrnong] mayor Michael Clarke join forces with such a notorious conservative as Liberal Party MP Bernie Finn. “Our rally on Saturday [aimed] to demonstrate that Bernie Finn and Michael Clarke do not speak for Footscray residents.” Ms Walsh said her stance in support of the implementation of a supervised injection room was a community-minded one. “Around the world, medically supervised injecting rooms have a proven record of saving lives, reducing ambulance calls outs, decreasing risks of HIV and Hepatitis C transmission, and supporting people who inject drugs to access other services that improve their health and wellbeing,” she said. “Our rally [gathered] people who support healthcare and dignity for people living with drug addiction, as opposed to hysteria and misinformation.” Maribyrnong councillor Jorge Jorquera told Star Weekly that there is more to be done to address the risks associated with drug use.

“In a city the size of Melbourne, a single supervised injecting centre isn’t enough to reduce the risk of overdose and harm. “We need a network of centres across the city in order to save more lives, including in the inner west.

“Harm reduction should be at the heart of government responses to drug use and addiction. “That’s why Victorian Socialists West is rallying Maribyrnong residents … in support of supervised injecting centres along with

other harm reduction facilities like pill testing in the inner west.” A change.org petition, started by rally organisers, had reached more than 1000 signatures within one week. Details: Change.org/FootscrayMSIR

A rally held last week in Footscray to voice opposition to a supervised injection room in the suburb has been labelled “very successful”. Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn told Star Weekly the community has let the state government know they are against the idea. “To have that degree of concern shown by locals, it sends a very strong message to the government,” Mr Finn said. “The reaction that I’ve had over the last week [since the idea was raised] is staggering. “We’ve made it clear that [the rally] Wednesday night was just the beginning. “We’ve now started a campaign, it’s now up to the government to decide if they want to address it. “If they want that fight… the Footscray locals are ready. “They can expect a fight they will not win.” Mr Finn said the turnout for the rally was “pretty good”, with about 100 residents attending. “We could get a lot more in the future,” he said. “When [the danger] sinks in, particularly for businesses and families, you’re going to see a huge response from the locals.” Mr Finn said he did not view the rally in support of the notion that took place on Saturday as a concern. “Everybody’s entitled to their opinion,” he said. “I don’t think they’ve got a grandstand of support there.” Mr Finn was joined by opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier, Western

Councils harness green energy By Michaela Meade Maribyrnong council is leading the way to emissions reduction, as part of a groundbreaking clean power partnership with other councils. The council is one of 46 statewide to join the Victorian Energy Collaboration (VECO), the largest ever emissions reduction project by local government in Australia. Partner councils are pooling their energy contracts in a bid to make 45 per cent of all

electricity they use sourced from renewables, cutting greenhouse emissions by 260,000 tonnes every year. From July 1 this year, Red Energy will provide VECO with 240 gigawatts hours of clean power, equivalent to or removing the emissions from 90,000 cars or powering 48,000 homes every year. The project is expected to reduce each of the council’s energy bills by up to 35 per cent, based on current costs. Renewable energy will be provided by two wind farms in the state’s west – Dundonnell

wind farm near Mortlake, which started exporting power to the grid in March 2020, and Murra Warra II wind farm near Horsham, which commenced construction September 2020 and will be fully operational by June 2022. Maribyrnong mayor Michael Clarke said the council was “thrilled” to join the initiative. “Taking significant steps like this is one of the many ways we are responding to our commitment to address the climate emergency – and the great news is, that this is not only reducing greenhouse emissions, it’s also saving

money on our electricity bills, allowing us to provide additional support for our community in areas needed most,” he said. Maribyrnong council will use renewable energy to power all of its electricity use, including for Footscray Town Hall building, the Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre, streets lights, libraries, and community centres. The council’s involvement in VECO follows its acknowledgement of the climate emergency in 2019, which resulted in the Maribyrnong council climate emergency strategy 2021-25.

Bold move for artist Artist Tania Tanti used last year’s COVID-19 pandemic lockdown to create a body of work. Tanti closed her photography business and dedicated herself to creating a range of quilts for an exhibition at the Altona Louis Joel Community Centre gallery. The pieces have been professionally framed to pull the focus to the art form of quilting, and will be showcased until early June. Tanti said she works spontaneously, without a clear direction of what the finished product will be, apart from colour choice. “Colour is everything – the brighter the better,” she said. “The splashes, dashes and flow of colour is what my world of textile art is all about. “I like very bold, clear lines that draw you into the details. “Your eye can appreciate each section of the quilt up close and then step back and take in the whole piece as one. “It’s fun and can be very mesmerising when

you are working on an art piece.” Tanti found her art process and creating the pieces was what helped her through the pandemic Her collection, Stitched and Framed, will be on display until Monday, June 7 at the Altona Louis Joel Community Centre gallery. Michaela Meade

Emerging from grief

Parking meters switched on

By Michaela Meade Gabriela Georges is creating a space for those who have experienced a loss to share their stories. Ms Georges started hosting workshops in her community after her own experience with grief. She founded the Grief Cocoon, to provide a safe space for people who are grieving to express themselves, and hopefully transform through the process in workshops and events. “I [lost] my mum when I was 20 [and found] it very isolating, and a hard experience to go through,” Ms Georges said. “Eventually, after trying to figure things out on my own, I started to use poetry [and performances of it] … to express how I was feeling. “I started having people come up after performances, people would share their own experiences and stories. “I realised I wasn’t alone.” In 2016, Ms Georges began “open mic” opportunities for people to tell their stories. In November of last year, she officially launched the Grief Cocoon and its events. “It’s a lot of fun – you’d be surprised at how many laughs we have,” she said. “We connect and create together, there’s a lot of joy in that. It’s more about a community, not therapy … I’m not a therapist or counsellor. “I want to … give people the opportunity to share their experiences.” Fast forward to May 2021, and Ms Georges has held an event every month whether it be a creative activity, a movie night or an open discussion about grief. “It’s always a really special gathering, when people come together,” she said. “There’s been a really positive response. “I’ve been surprised and blown away by

the support. It’s an un-intimidating place to start, especially for people who haven’t done something like it before.” Ms Georges has completed a thesis on the impact of creative mediums on the grief experience. She said she has “seen it work”. “[This outlet] is something that’s needed,” she said. “I think because the focus is on doing something creative, people see it as something that‘s different, but still effective. “There’s an automatic connection people make – they know that [the people there] have

experienced a loss too.” The Grief Cocoon has events and workshops on the first Thursday of every month at Footscray Community Arts Centre. Ms Georges said she wanted the events to be a space of “safety [and] warmth”. “It’s a place for change … It’s challenging and messy,” she said. “[The cocoon] beautifully represents grief, and the changes that occur within a person.” Details: https://www.thegriefcocoon.com/ or thegriefcocoon@gmail.com

Paid parking was reintroduced in three off street carparks in Footscray from Monday. Maribyrnong council last week announced parking meters at Irving Street, Paisley Street and Picket Street carparks would be switched back on to increase parking turnover and meet demand at each site. There will be a two week grace period. It’s the first time since 2015 that parking meters have been switched on in the area. The council planned to reintroduce paid parking from June 24, 2019, however severe public backlash led to the meters being switched off indefinetly. Council’s infrastructure services director Steve Hamilton said the decision to turn parking meters back on is in line with the council’s parking management policy 2017. “Sensor data shows that these carparks are experiencing high levels of occupancy, so pay parking will be switched back on in these carparks to increase parking turnover, allowing for availability of spaces for visitors as well as meeting the demand of the community and allowing residents to safely access the services they need,” he said. Tickets will be $2.30 per hour, with money going back to the community via the council’s budget. There is a cashless option via a mobile app, EasyPark.

A voice for social change By Michaela Meade Footscray’s iconic parenting centre Tweddle has celebrated its 100th birthday. A new website has been launched to commemorate the baby, child and family support organisation’s milestone. Tweddle was born in 1920 out of a desire to stop significant infant mortality, malnutrition and infection affecting thousands of Victorian babies – an issue still at the heart of the organisation. Tweddle chief executive Jacquie O’Brien said it was truly humble beginnings for the organisation and its clients. “In the early 1920’s when [Tweddle]

commenced, mums and dads would ride their bikes or walk for miles pushing huge prams to get to Tweddle,” she said. “Babies were left on the doorstep by desperate families. “Tweddle nurses would shake tins over at Whitten Oval at half-time [of football games] to raise desperately-needed funds. “Today, everyone that works for Tweddle is a voice for social change.

“It starts with secure babies, this in turn creates a generation of strong families … we all benefit from safe communities that stem from families that feel supported, resourced and resilient.” Altona historian Jim Hevey has his own personal connection to Tweddle. Having been born 11 weeks premature, Jim was not expected to survive the night and was taken to the Footscray Tweddle Baby Hospital. “There is no doubt in my mind that I owe my survival to the treatment and expertise of the medical staff and nurses at that time,” he said last week.

Space to learn Children were treated to an out of this world storytime last week at Yarraville Community Centre. As part of a National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) event, the centre had Dr Shannon Walker read a story to children, all the way from the International Space Station. The NSS is an annual event which aims to engage children of all ages to enjoy books and reading.

BEHIND THE NEWS

A life less ordinary Multi-talented Mrinal Kanty Das has made it his life’s mission to share his passion for the creative arts with other people. He talks with Alesha Capone.

he Hoppers Crossing resident is extensively involved with the community as a volunteer and performer, plus through exhibitions of his work. Das – who described himself as a painter, free lens photographer, singer, lyricist and composer – was born in a small riverside town in Bangladesh, Chandpur, in 1973. “I inherited my artistic fervour from my family,” Das said. “My grandfather was a folk singer. He used to sing religious songs in local religious festivals.” Das completed a bachelor of fine arts (painting) and master of fine arts (painting) at the University of Chittagong, and went on to work at an advertising agency in Bangladesh for 15 years. He moved to Melbourne in 2015, and works as a graphic designer at Adjust Graphix. “At the very beginning, I came to Australia to accompany my wife who came here to study her second masters degree in Monash University,” he said. “Our two kids also came with us, and they just fell in love with the lifestyle here, especially of the freedom that they enjoyed here regarding their career selection and many other issues. “My brother and sister live in Werribee and Hoppers Crossing. The Wyndham people are very cultural-minded. The Bangladeshi community is quite large here and they are quite active and friendly. “The multi-cultural environment in Australia attracts me most.” Das is an art teacher at the Victorian Bangladeshi Community Foundation (VBCF) and Nuer Community Foundation, which works with South Sudanese-Australians. “Painting is my academic and professional interest,” he said. “Photography is one of my passions. I love to see the world through my lenses, which allow me to discover the multiple layers of beauty.” Das also runs a voluntary art venture, a social platform named Colour Buds, through which he helps children from underprivileged and refugee families learn painting and drawing. “I work with community groups who work with these children, and my focus is on the mental development of the traumatised kids who have become frustrated and desperate, as they have undergone much distress at such early stages of their lives,” he said. “I also have a plan to establish a virtual art

He also wrote the musical piece Tumi chaia dekho for the movie Shuttle Train, a full-length film directed by Pradip Ghosh. The lyrics and tune of the song are by Das and the arrangement was by music director Binod Roy. In December, the Bangladeshi Ministry of Cultural Affairs announced Das as winner of

the 2019 Bangladesh National Film Award in the Best Singer Category (Male). Das said that winning the award was “an extraordinary experience”. “I never expected that I would ever be awarded with such a big honour,” he said. Das said the song first came into his mind when he was travelling with his wife in a ricksaw, in Bangladesh. “My wife instantly recorded the song on her phone, and the rest is history.” “I feel that writing is an inherent quality in me. Words come to me spontaneously, no

matter what environment I am in, words just pop up in my mind along with the tune.” In the future, Das hopes to work with fusion music by composing multilingual songs. “I have already created a platform from our company, Adjust Graphix, a recording studio called Adjust Tunes from which we will record and publish songs by local singers,” he said.

Supporting kids to be healthy and happy Our children deserve to grow up healthy and happy. And after their family and friends, our schools are one of the biggest supports in a young person’s life. With the Victorian government’s focus on building mental health support, schools are being put at the centre of the response with help to make sure they have everything they need to support their students, families and communities. The Victorian budget 2021-22 invests $277 million in new support for schools, ensuring mental health and wellbeing is a core part of a student’s experience. This includes establishing a $200 million School Mental Health Fund to deliver programs, staff and support specific to a school community’s needs. Minister for Education James Merlino said: “Whenever I visit a school, families and teachers tell me mental health and wellbeing is the single biggest issue affecting our kids. “This is our opportunity to fundamentally transform the way we support our young people. That means putting schools at the heart of our response – giving them the funding, the staff, the tools and whatever else they might need to be there for our kids. “Our students deserve to succeed. Whether that’s better support in the classroom, or better training for teachers, we are delivering the funding our kids need to make it a reality.” The fund will be rolled out to all regional and rural government schools as a priority in mid-2022, with metropolitan schools to follow from 2023. Schools will be able to draw from a range of evidence-based measures proven to work – from the ‘Positive Education’ model to therapy dog programs to mental health first aid training. Schools will also be able to use their funding

to engage more mental health and wellbeing staff to further support their children. Funding will massively expand the Mental Health in Primary Schools pilot, reaching 100 schools. A partnership with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, the pilot enables schools to employ a mental health and wellbeing co-ordinator, while also supporting staff to better understand and respond to mental health and wellbeing issues. The budget invests $19.5 million to

continue the work of the Turnaround Teams in government schools. Made up of an executive principal and two leading teachers, Turnaround Teams work intensively with schools facing complex challenges to improve student outcomes and create change. A $12.5 million investment will continue the implementation of the school-wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) framework. Its implementation is supported by 17 specialist coaches, and has had success in improving

student behaviour and giving teachers further skills to foster positive school-wide environments. To attract and develop quality teachers in Victorian schools, the budget invests $4.8 million to equip an additional 95 teaching students to work in schools in disadvantaged areas, and further develop ten existing, and establish two new, Teaching Academies of Professional Practice partnerships between schools and universities.

Matilda, slime and St Aloysius… Was it launching rockets into space that had the kids so excited about St Aloysius College’s two-day “Space Cadets” event? Maybe it was producing alien slime or building electrical circuits …or learning coding with robots …or 3D printing. A STEMies School Holiday Program, run by College STEM leader Andy Lonsdale, “Space Cadets” attracted a crowd of 80 boys and girls aged 9-13, who signed up for two days of madcap fun and hands-on learning around STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) topics over the Easter break. The next STEMies program swings to forensics, with “CSI: Curran Street Investigation”. The kids will use STEM skills to become sleuths and technicians to arrive at answers. The highly engaging program will run at the college over two days, at 10am-3pm on June 28 and 29. The cost is $100, it’s bring your own lunch and tickets are available via trybooking. com/BRJCM

Matilda Jr stage production Consistently stepping it up in stage productions, the college this year offers the extraordinary Matilda Jr which will thrill audiences over four performances on July 22-24. Run by a committed team of college teachers, who collaborate with professional voice coaches, music teachers and choreographers, the Matilda Jr production will be the culmination of the exceptionally hard work of shining talent, both on and off the stage. While 35 students will be strutting the

boards, behind the scenes the student crew is involved in set design, lighting and other aspects – they’re essentially getting industry experience. It’s recommended bookings be made now via trybooking.com/BRAYI Tickets cost $20 per adult, $10 student/ concession and $5 for under 12s.

About St Aloysius An emphasis on Mercy Education values and respect for each individual combine with a long tradition of excellence in Catholic education at St Aloysius College. Building confidence and leadership is another important focus of the all-girls year 7-12 school, which was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1887. The college, with more than 50 nationalities among students, has strong links with the workforce and provides quality education through a fully integrated curriculum. Extracurricular activities are wide ranging, and there’s an Outdoor Education Campus at Torquay.

SPORT Druids captain claims club first By Michaela Meade Druids’ captain-coach Michael Hay has been awarded the best and fairest award for the Victorian Turf Cricket Association (VTCA) Kookaburra Sports/Turner Shield Senior division. The West Footscray local won the Roy Paxino trophy for the best payer in senior division last week following a strong season on the bat. Hay polled 26 votes, two clear of second place. “I was very happy with it,” he said. “I knew going into it that it’d be pretty close. “I was pretty wrapped when I heard I’d won. “Going into the last two games, I knew Chris [Williams from Strathmore Cricket Club] and I were close. “I had two unlucky games as well, so I didn’t know how it would play out.”

Hay became the club’s first senior division Paxino medallist, and joins a list of former international, state and premier cricketers. Hay performed well over the season, batting an average of 57. The young star quipped that the accumulated 516 runs could be better. “More runs are always better,” he said. “I enjoyed [the season]. “There were a few games where I knew I was feeling good in the crease, but I also knew there was a lot of work to do. “One-dayers are quite good, I enjoy them. “It just meant that during the season you had to work pretty hard to make sure you did well.” Hay has the fifth most runs of all players in the competition. He was not able to perform as well with wickets, clocking 12 across all formats, and said the team’s performance was not ideal either. “Going into the season we knew that it was

going to be a pretty good challenge,” Hay said. “Shane [Windridge] and Leigh [Wilson] were the only ones above 25 [years of age]. “We backed the youth in and got some experience behind them. “We won the first three games, but it sort of stopped there for us this season. The juniors will definitely develop a lot more. “It was a big learning curve for all of us, but there are good things to come.” The Druids finished second bottom, three points above Aberfeldie. Hay said he had clear goals in mind for the next season of VTCA. “Another best and fairest would be great, although it’s a lot of hard work,” he said. “One of my goals would be to stay up there in the runs. More wickets would also be good. “I think it’ll be a stronger comp as well… it’ll be a good test.”

SACA signing a dream come true Rising cricket star Jordan Buckingham will take his skills to South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) as a rookie. The young player, who has competed across Maribyrnong and Hume, said he was “over the moon” to score the signing. “To be signed with a large state cricket organisation such as the SACA is the epitome,” he said. “It has always been a dream of mine and for that dream to become a reality is something that I can be proud of for a long time.” Buckingham said he found out about the news through his manager Glen Turner. “[Turner] was doing a lot of work behind the scenes, when he gave me the call to let me know it was official I was over the moon with excitement and even a few tears of joy. “[SACA] came and watched a few games later in the season, which I was unaware of, and must have been impressed. “It was pretty much all systems go from there.” Buckingham performed well in the 2020-21 Victorian Premier Cricket season, bowling for Footscray Cricket Club. He took 21 wickets, with an average of 25.38. Buckingham said the club was imperative for his development, which will be furthered with SACA. “Footscray has been brilliant for my development over the last four seasons and I certainly wouldn’t have got to this stage without their assistance,” Buckingham said. “At presentation night, [my signing] was mentioned and every person in the room passed on their well wishes. “It’s just that sort of a second family environment at Footscray.” Buckingham said his love of cricket started at a very young age. “I first started playing cricket at the age of five or six, all the way through the junior cricket ranks at Craigieburn, including a premiership in under-12s,” he said. “From there I made the move to the Greenvale Kangaroos in under-6s where I was fortunate enough to have played in three premierships in the one year – under-16s, 18s, [and] seniors. “I was able to play two seasons of premier cricket there in which I made my first XI debut at age 16, followed by a move to Footscray where I played a further 40 or so first XI matches including a final up until this season just gone.” Buckingham said he is focusing on the here and now in terms of his development with SACA. “I don’t really have any hopes as of yet for my time at the SACA, it is more just sinking in at the moment,” he said. “I would love to be a one state player for as

many years as possible. With that comes a lot of hard work and sometimes a bit of luck and I’m well aware of that and more than happy to put the hours in to get the best out of myself and prolong it as long as possible. “I think I will be able to give myself every chance to learn and develop in a professional

environment with some quality people involved such as Jason Gillespie the head coach.” Buckingham will make the move to South Australia in mid-June, officially starting on Saturday, July 5.

Spotswood’s focus on its juniors is behind the club’s decision to move it’s senior teams to the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association. The VSDCA committee announced last week that the competition would increase by four clubs, to 32. There will be a new club in each of the four conferences, with Donvale, Port Melbourne and Strathmore joining Spotswood in moving to the competition. Spotswood president John Wheeler said they had been speaking about the move for the past couple of years. Spotswood had been playing in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association division 1. It was in the top division as recently as 2018-19. “We’re really happy about it,” Wheeler said of the move. “It’s been a bit of a process. We had a good chat about it two years ago with the senior club and wanting to play at the highest level. “It’s always hard in the VTCA with promotion and regulation as it puts the young blokes under pressure straight away, without being able to build that growth. “We want to be able to play the young guys and have some experienced players around them.“ Wheeler said in recent times the club had lost many juniors because it didn’t have a pathway system. Nearby clubs include Victorian Premier Cricket side Footscray and subbies sides, Williamstown, Yarraville and Altona. The junior program will also benefit the club, which will have a side in the VSDCA Craig Shield competition, something most young players aspire to be a part of. Wheeler said they had 35 to 40 children in the Woolworths Cricket Blast program this year, which is a promising sign for the future. The VTCA has already released a draft fixture for next season, following the departures of Spotswood and Strathmore. Aberfeldie looks set to survive relegation from the senior division. Craigieburn, the division 1 premiers, will be promoted. Tara Murray
