Our Australia Day is an inclusive
celebration. We embrace the
opportunities that are available to all
of us and reflect on and appreciate
Australia.
As part of the Australia Day celebrations,
Hume City Council acknowledges
outstanding members of our community who
have contributed in their own unique way.
Hume’s Young Citizen of the Year 2016
was Nisal Lochana Karawita, a resident who
has given many hours to support initiatives
that assist other young people.
Turning the clock ahead almost 12 months,
Nisal continues to be a strong role model,
passionate about people and local activities.
His hard work has since paid off, becoming
a recent university student.
“Being recognised for the Hume Young
Citizen of the Year Award for 2016 was
a true honour. I was humbled to be
acknowledged for doing something I
am passionate about”, said Nisal.
“The Australia Day Award I received
was an inspiring way to acknowledge
the contribution I had made to the
community”.
“I encourage everyone to strive for their
goals and be their very best. If you know
a young person who’s going above and
beyond in their efforts to help their
community, nominate them today.”
Nominations for the 2017 Australia Day
Awards are closing soon. Go online to
and recognise a Hume Citizen of the Year,
Hume Young Citizen of the Year or a
Community Event of the Year.

STICKER ENTRIES
Schools from right across Hume City
took pen and pencil to paper recently
to help design a sticker for a new
hi-tech bin.
A call out was made to local school children
to encourage them to become creative and
submit artwork. The purpose was to get
them thinking about important aspects of
our lifestyle, environment and waste.
Various designs were submitted by children
from schools right across Hume, some
featured on this page. All designs were
really eye-catching and colourful and
helped promote the message to stop litter.
Council announced the winner of the
‘Smart bins, stop litter’ design competition.
Budding young Sunbury artist, Samantha
Reffold, will have her artwork displayed on
smart solar bins throughout Hume.
The student from Killara Primary School
won a $500 voucher for her school to
spend at Ceres Community Environment
Park. The prize can be used for any of
Ceres’ services, including incursions,
workshops and nursery products.
The smart bins use a solar powered
compactor to compress waste by up to
five times, so the bins will take much
longer to fill.
The bins will send a text message to
Council once they are 80% full; to ensure
that they are emptied before they are
completely filled. This will help to keep our
streets and parks free of unsightly litter.
Council received a grant from the Victorian
Government and the Metropolitan Waste
and Resource Recovery Group, to install
three smart solar bins in Hume.
Every year, Hume City Council collects more
than 44,000 tonnes of rubbish, 16,400
tonnes of recyclables and 5,300 tonnes
of organics.
We are always looking for ways to reduce
litter in our municipality. The smart solar
bin is a great way to stop litter from
spoiling our enjoyment of our parks and
neighbourhoods.

Play has many dimensions. It is not
only physical; play encourages children
to use their imagination, is a vehicle for
self-expression, social interaction and
education.
A passionate and dedicated group at St
Anne’s Primary School in Sunbury know
all too well the importance of child’s play.
Together they built a gathering place with
a sensory garden to increase participation
of all children in play within their school
ground.
This was a dream come true for Volunteer
Aid, Cheryl. She has always wanted to
build a fun and stimulating space full of art,
plants, and creative elements.
“I was so excited when St Anne’s Primary
School received funds from Hume City
Council. From that moment I knew we
could create a really special space for all
children”, said Cheryl.
“It has been a really magical experience.
From placing down the first log to now
watching children take to the new space
is rewarding. The best thing is hearing
children laugh, have fun and interact with
each other.”
Sensory gardens can help develop qualities
necessary in adulthood such as problem
solving, independence, self-awareness
and creativity.
Patrick has two children who attend St
Anne’s Primary School. Despite his own
busy schedule as a paramedic, he has
volunteered many hours outside of work
to ensure the local project came to life.
“This garden has been a really long road
but we are nearly there, Patrick said.
“I know spaces like this sensory garden
can encourage rich imaginative, social and
independent play”.
“This garden has given my family the
opportunity to learn and have fun. The
space includes a secret garden, music wall,
zen circle, tyre wall and plenty of wonderful
smelling plants”.
“I encourage community members to
participate more fully in community life;
connect with the environment and other
people; and use their skills to give back to
the community”.
The play space has been designed to be
accessible for people with a range of
disabilities, including physical, sensory and
neurological.
Hume City Council provided a Partnership
Grant of $20,000 as part of the 2016
Community Grant program.

Baking up a storm at
Kangan Institute
Kangan Institute’s new retail baking
course at Broadmeadows campus has
been supporting our local community
to gain access to practical training and
job opportunities within the baking
industry.
This includes student Tina Cafaro who,
with a background as a chocolatier, has
been looking for work for a year ever
since her previous employer’s business
shut down. The 28-year-old decided to try
her hand at Kangan Institute’s new retail
baking course to pursue her passion in cake
making.
“I thought I’d give this a try and it’s the best
decision I’ve ever made. I don’t just learn
one element of the industry, I’m learning
about bread, cakes and pastries. It’s a
mixture of everything and you’re constantly
learning. At the end of the year I’ll be a
qualified pastry chef/baker,” she said.
“The baking training facility is good and
up to date. The teachers here – Fred and
Nagwa – have the passion for it and they
make you want to learn. I’d definitely
recommend Kangan Institute to others,
especially people who are looking to
change careers. We have a range of
students of different ages here and
you’re never too old to join a class.
I’d say definitely go for it.”

available at Kangan Institute, go online to

Thousands of people have been buried
in Will Will Rook cemetery between
the years 1852 and 1960. The pioneers
who have been laid to rest here were
amongst Hume City’s first farmers,
workers and business people.

Award helps aspiring young leader
Sarah Mackin was awarded one of
the Council’s Corporal Cameron Baird
VM MG Memorial Awards in 2015.
The awards recognise outstanding
young residents aged 12-25 years for
professional or personal development.
Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG was an
Australian soldier, and a Gladstone Park
local, who is revered for selfless acts of
courage and the ultimate sacrifice on the
battlefield.
Sarah had dreamt to work alongside young
people in a voluntary capacity overseas.
She used the award funds from Council to
assist with the costs of heading overseas
and support her volunteering at the ABCs
school.
“I wanted to continue to develop my
professional skills and experience in the area
of youth work but I also wanted to give
something in return”, said Sarah.
“ABC was a school in Cambodia for children
who would otherwise have to earn their
keep other ways to survive or to help
“The experience was one in a million – you can’t
get that from study. It’s the best thing that has ever
happened to me”.
support their family. Children receive rice
in return for their school attendance as a
means to keep them there.”
“My volunteer role at the school was
to assist the school with English classes,
organise a fundraiser and assist with a
couple of media and marketing projects”.
“The experience was one in a million – you
can’t get that from study. It’s the best thing
that has ever happened to me”.
When asked if Sarah had any advice for
other young people thinking about applying
she said: “just go for it!”. I didn’t think
good things happened to people like me, in
my wildest dreams I didn’t think this would
happen. Even when you have lows – you
don’t have to give up”.
The trip has reinforced her passion for
making positive change and giving back to
the community – like Cameron Baird from
whom she has been inspired. “Who knew
that giving back could give you such joy”.

Council runs a number of interesting
programs for young adults aged 12-25,
including holiday programs, Freeza and
Battle of the Bands events and Youth
Support programs.
The road to adulthood can be very, very
rocky and a daily challenge for some of
our young people. The Outreach program
provides short term general information
and referral support for young people aged
12-24 that live and/or have links in Hume.
The Outreach program is for young people
that are needing information and/or referral
support regarding programs and support
services that are offered within Hume.
An Outreach Worker can be contacted
by young people, families, schools, youth
workers and anyone in the community that
require information regarding youth services.
Moving FWD is a free nine week
program for young people, aged
15-19 years, who would like to
explore options for re-engaging with
education, training, employment and
community life.
The program addresses some of the barriers
faced by young people and focuses on
building practical life and job skills, exploring
education pathways, personal development,
behavior change and resilience.
The program is held at different locations
across Hume and spaces are limited to 10
young people per term.
Are you or someone you know interested
in participating in 2017? Contact Youth
Services for further information and criteria
for participating in the program.

Eleven people from a wide range of
community and business backgrounds
have been appointed to help with the
important role of shaping the future
Hume Global Learning Centre (HGLC)
– Sunbury.
Kim Forward, a member of the Community
Advisory Group for the HGLC, will support
the planning and development of the new
facility. His role is to explore and convey the
needs and aspirations of the community.
This will ensure it meets their needs and
expectations in the future.
Kim is a Sunbury resident, active community
member, and the Deputy Principal of Aitken
College in Greenvale. He is eager to see the
HGLC Sunbury become an effective centre
of learning, engagement and connectedness
for all.
“I applied to join the Community Advisory
Group as I saw it as an opportunity to
share my ideas and experience with other
interested Sunbury residents. I want to make
a positive contribution so the project can
achieve its aims”, said Kim.
“I have used the HGLC facilities at
Broadmeadows and Craigieburn on a
number of occasions and have longed to see
the Sunbury region have similar access”.
“I will bring a variety of skills and ideas to
the Community Advisory Group as I have
many years’ experience in schools and hence
an understanding of the learning needs of
all ages and abilities”.
‘As a member of the Community Advisory
Committee I am most looking forward
to enthusiastically engaging with other
committee members and together seeing
the HGLC Sunbury being opened for the
community to use’.
“With a background and involvement in
education, I have been very excited to see
this project finally commence development.”
Hume City Council is proud to be delivering
the new Hume Global Learning Centre
which will provide a world-class learning and
community facility for Sunbury.
The new centre will be located on a site next
to the existing library on Macedon Street
and is expected to open in early 2019.
It will provide formal and informal
community spaces, allowing for private and
organised study, social interaction, library
services, exhibitions, seminars, meeting and
training opportunities.

“I want to make a
positive contribution so
the project can achieve
its aims.”

Budding Scientist
Earlier this year, the Rotary Club of
Broadmeadows was proud to have
supported Year 11 student and
Greenvale resident, Mahdavi-Priya
Singh attend the National Youth
Science Forum in Canberra.
“I am grateful to the Rotary Club of
Broadmeadows for the opportunity to
attend such a forum. I thoroughly enjoyed
my experience with participants from all
over Australia,” Mahdavi said.
“I was completely surprised by my
experience at the Australian National
University. I saw a new world in science
as a result”.
“I was exposed to revolutionary
technology, a particle accelerator and
visited Mt. Stromlo Observatory while in
Canberra. I also visited the NASA space
communications complex, spoke on Skype
to Dr. Landua about the Hadron Collider
and attended lectures given by leading
scientists”.
Forum’s such as this one helps people
learn new skills, connect socially or further
develop an interest. The National Youth
Science Forum has been supported by
the Rotary Club of Broadmeadows for
many years.
Year 11 students interested in science and
related studies are encouraged to apply
through their schools. National Youth
Science Forum advice is available in schools
in term one each year.
Have you heard of the Learn to Swim
Infant Aquatic program? It is an
introductory water program run at
Council’s Leisure Centres.
You have the opportunity to educate your
infant in the experience of water in a safe
and enjoyable way.
The focus of the Learn to Swim
Infant Aquatic program is on water
familiarisation. It introduces babies to the
excitement of water activity. At the same
time it develops confidence, exploration
and independence.
Help your little one learn to enjoy
splashing in the perfect environment. Our
class sizes are small, water warm, facilities
modern and our service personal.
Parents are involved in the lesson too –
so don’t think you miss out! You can
enjoy the water with your baby through
fun games and singing as watch them
experience the benefits of the wide range
of basic aquatic skills.

Learning does not necessarily only
have to occur in a classroom, take
the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB)
learning and training facility in
Craigieburn.
This is a specialised facility providing the
best possible training for the emergency

agencies including the Country Fire
Authority, Victoria Police, Ambulance
Victoria, Victorian
State Emergency
Service, Department
of Environment and
Primary Industries and
the MFB.
MFB Graeme
Gant AFSM is the
Commander Training and Delivery Manager
at the Victorian Emergency Management
Training Centre (VEMTC). He is responsible
for overseeing recruits, promotions, skills
acquisition and other Emergency Services
training programs delivered.
“I have always had a passion for training in
particular in the emergency services sector.
I am proud to be working in such a high
class facility that ensures the MFB is safer
and more capable”, MFB Commander
Graeme Gant AFSM said.
“The facility supports a vital move towards
interagency training and an all hazards
approach to emergency management that
will ensure the ongoing protection of the
Victorian community”.

community and it can give them confidence
in our firefighters. I love developing people
through learning to ensure that they are
the best that they can be”.

decades and joined as a recruit in July
1985 at the old MFB training centre at
Abbotsford.

stations and
gaining multiple
qualifications
in the field. He
chose a career with the MFB to help people
in our community. He also wanted to be
part of a profession that is respected by
community members.
He has since been awarded the Australian
Fire Service Medal to Australian fire
services. This is outstanding recognition of
his distinguished service, professionalism
and dedication.

the therapeutic exercise and educational
aspects of riding. It is also rewarding to
know we provide others with a sense of
freedom and fun”.

The principles underpinning STEAM
learning (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)
are being filtered through many new
and existing Hume Libraries programs.
Council is calling on residents with a
passion for environmental sustainability to
register their interest in being a 2017 Enviro
Champion.
Enviro Champions complete a series of
sessions led by Council where you learn a
variety of skills including leadership.
You are then supported to put into practice
what you have been taught and work with
residents and community organisations to
design and develop a project that enhances
the local environment.
Some of the 2016 Enviro champion projects
have already progressed substantially.
Groovy up the Grasslands is a partnership
with Banksia Gardens Community Services.
This project’s aim is to restore the
neighbouring grassland and to re-establish
threatened wildflowers, which once thrived
in Broadmeadows.
Another project, Earth to Earth is a
partnership with Hume’s Parks Department
and the Homestead Community and
Learning Centre, to create a kitchen garden
and fruit orchard at the Roxburgh Park
Homestead.
With the help of the Homestead’s
Homework Club and the neighbouring
school and children’s centre, this area has
been transformed into an open hub of
fresh food.
So if you feel inspired, have a passion for
sustainability and the environment, register
your interest in the Enviro Champion
program now. Places are filling fast and are
open to anyone who lives, works, studies
or plays in Hume.
