What is happening in 2012?

Sandra Kenman has been busy assisting schools with Trade Training Centre submissions and will continue with this in 2012. Successful submissions include St Peter Claver and St Augustine's Colleges; Nudgee College; St Edmund's College; St Brendan's College; Bundaberg Cluster. A number of schools missed out in 2011 due to reduced funding so Edserve will continue to support these schools in 2012.

Sandra is completing her work as the Course Coordinator Legal Studies Pathways Program, Brisbane North Region. This has included assisting teachers deliver Cert IV in Justice Administration while teaching Legal Studies.

A large number of teachers across Australia are now using the revised Workplace Literacy Kit  - saving 2 years lesson preparation. Teachers who already use this kit should consider purchasing the new edition. The Teacher's Handbook is now on CD and has over 250 pages of models, answers and assessment tasks. The Additional Activities CD allows students to work even more activities but rather than using paper based materials, students can enter answers electronically. the new Business activity book and workbook are now available.

Kerri Buttery (nee Schilling) is now doing private consultancy work and can be contacted at kerri.buttery @ optusnet.com.au.

Sandra continues to provide consultancy services to Edmund Rice Education Australia so that schools receive support in implementing VET.

Key events this year which Edserve are managing include:

• the state conference for the Queensland History Teachers Association – www.qhta.com.au

Lastly, but very important...Edserve is also supporting the marketing of a new graffiti removal product, Graffiti-Enz.  Barry Kenman from Edserve is in partnership with three others to develop and distribute this new ‘invention’ – an enzyme based, environmentally friendly product. Brisbane City Council now stocks this product at their ward offices and customer service centres, for BCC residents. If you have a graffiti problem and live in the Brisbane area, you can collect your free kit.  If you are a commercial organisation and wish to purchase the product go to www.graffiti-enz.com.au.  Gold Coast and Logan City Councils are also using the product and other councils are considering stocking the product as well. QR uses the product to clean trains and railway stations. Many schools are already using Graffiti-Enz. It will remove unsightly graffiti without causing damage to most painted surface. Graffiti-Enz 500 ml Trigger Bottles are also available at all Supercheap Auto Stores throughout Australia.
