Overview: Catherine Laffey (Chair)

Since joining the Community Learning

Board I have been impressed by the

commitment of Leaders and staff from so

many organisations working in Melton all

willing to work together to achieve better

life outcomes for residents through

learning.

The Community Learning Plan Annual

Report provides a snapshot of activities

that have taken place to implement the

City of Melton Community Learning Plan

2011-2014. The report in no way covers

all activities that have occurred.

The Community Learning Board working

parties, along with other community

partner groups, have been implementing

the Learning Plan goals and strategies.

Three key principles identified in the

Learning Plan have been applied when

implementing Learning Plan goals and

strategies, these are:

Stimulate employment and the

economy;

Encourage people to take advantage

of opportunities to gain skills and

qualifications; and

Stimulate in people the will to learn

and to participate in learning activities.

These principles form the sub headings of

the main body of the Annual Report and

contain some of the „bigger ticket priority

items‟. A summary report on the strategies

being applied to implement the

Community Learning Plan‟s five goals can

be found in appendices.

My thanks go to Board Members who

freely share their knowledge and

experience and thanks to the City of

Melton for continuing commitment to the

Community Learning Board. Particular

thanks also to Peter Blunden, who

somehow, makes it happen.

Stimulate Employment

and the Economy

Building Melton

Together (BMT)

Phase 1

BMT has been a key Learning Board Project designed to stimulate employment and the economy in Melton. The Economic Development and Lifelong Learning Working Party gained funding from the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), Employment Brokers Fund to implement BMT. The project commenced in June 2011 and phase 1 funding was completed in June 2012. BMT‟s key focus has been on jobs in the building and construction industry. BMT has worked to ensure that local jobseekers and building and construction sub-contractors are best placed to gain employment in one of Melton‟s fastest growing industries. The City of Melton‟s Economic Development and Lifelong Learning Working Party provided the governance for BMT. YouthNow were the project managers and Tracy‟s, as the JSA Employment Broker panel member, were the contract managers.

BMT gained strong support from Job Services Australia (JSA) providers, training providers and the industry. Outcomes

Around 70 participants were placed in employment, 30 or more referred back to school or training. 17 Jobs Services Australia providers, education and training, community organisations and Council signed a Memorandum of

Understanding agreeing to participate in BMT. Over 300 businesses agreed to use the BMT system.

The success of phase 1 of BMT in such a short time warranted a continuation of the project and was a stimulus for the Western BACE submission.

BMT Phase 2 The Economic Development and Lifelong Working Party have applied to DEEWR for an extension of funding for BMT. The feedback from DEEWR has been positive. Whether or not we are successful YouthNow, our BMT project managers have agreed to underwrite the Building Industry Liaison position over the next 12 months. The focus for phase 2 will be on construction industry sub contractors. The goal will be to assist them to be identified by volume builders and placed on their preferred sub-contractor lists and in turn the sub contractors employ local workers, particularly apprentices.


The Burbank Group of Companies have supported this and have spoken at one stakeholder (JSA‟s, Education and Training Providers, Council, and Community Organisations) forum and two building and construction sub contractor forums about:

1. The Employment needs of the industry; and

2. Requirements needed by sub contractors to become preferred sub contractors with volume builders

Burbank has also added BMT participation to its sub contractor application form. Group Training Companies like MEGT have reported an increase in apprentices on their books due to BMT. As a result MEGT have opened an office on the Melton Campus of VU. The partnership between Job Service Australia providers, education and training, business and industry and community organisations that support this project has been critical to its success. BMT has also influenced the Council‟s successful submission to the Suburban Jobs Program for the Western Business Accelerator and Centre for Excellence (Western BACE).

Western BACE The submission to the Commonwealth‟s Suburban Jobs program for the Western Business Accelerator and Centre for Excellence (Western BACE) was successful. $14.6M was realised for the proposed $20M project. The submission was written in partnership between Melton City Council‟s Business Growth and Sustainability Unit and the Economic Development and Lifelong Learning Working Party of the Learning Board.

Western BACE will be established in the Toolern Principal Activity Centre. This

innovative facility will provide workspace and support for new and emerging businesses to expand and develop and will ultimately create business growth and further employment options for local residents. The Western BACE will be a centre for excellence and innovation. The building itself will be a working example of quality environmentally sustainable construction while the grounds will complement this as a training space for landscaping and horticulture.

Work’s 4 Me

Work‟s 4 Me grew out of the stakeholder

forum, Lead the Paradigm Shift: Transition

to Training and Employment for People of

Various Abilities held by the Social

Inclusion and Lifelong Learning Working

Party in November 2011.

Facilitated by Minds at Work, the forum

provided a wealth of information about

what it will take to get more people with

various abilities to successfully transition

into training and employment.

Mind Map that identified client supports, associated projects, target outcomes and issues for people with disabilities

The key goal of Work‟s 4 Me is to be

achieved through building on the benefits

of combined effort and the values of

collaboration and support between service

providers working in the City of Melton.

Outcome

Three stages of Work’s 4 Me

Developed

1. Heads of Agency Agreement

A Forum was held on 11 October 2012.

And 45 people from 20 organisations

participated. 12 Organisations signed

the Agreement on the day and others

took the Agreement back to their Boards

and Committees of Management for

consideration.

2. Client Employability Skills Course

and Work Experience

A key component of Work’s 4 Me will

see service providers Wesley,

YouthNow and Djerriwarrh Employment

and Education Service collaborating to

run employability skills and work place

learning courses in Melton for young

people with disabilities which enable

transition into further training or

employment. This will commence in

term 1 2013.

3. Work’s 4 Me Network

A network of front line workers from all

organisations working with disability in

Melton will commence in early 2013.

The annual worker „meet and greet‟ will

be an induction into the Work‟s 4 Me

project and a means of knowing each

other‟s roles, clarifying referral

processes and ensuring no client falls

through the cracks at any referral or

transition point.


Encourage People to

Take Advantage of

Opportunities to Gain

Skills and

Qualifications

Strategic partnerships brokered by the

Community Learning Board between

organisations have enhanced

opportunities for residents to gain skills

and qualifications. Work is being done on

the Melton Campus of Victoria University

to strengthen pre-apprenticeship

programs, to create flexible pathways

through diploma course to degree courses

to enhance opportunities. The partnership

between the University of Ballarat and

Djerriwarrh Employment and Education

Service (DEES) to deliver certificate to

diploma level Children‟s Services courses

locally has seen some students take the

next step from certificate level course to

diploma.

This important work is showing how

flexible methods of local delivery can lead

to increased opportunities to gain

qualifications.

The report to Melton South Community

Centre and Djerriwarrh Employment and

Education Service on Adult Community

and Further Education (ACFE) growth in

Melton will lead to increased opportunities

for residents to gain skills and

qualifications. The project was funded

through the ACFE Capacity and

Innovation Fund to investigate growing

Learn Local (ACE) provision in Melton.

A Cafe Conversation about Learning ALCN Conference 2012

Stimulate in People the

Will to Learn and to

Participate in Learning

Our Neighbourhood Houses, Learn Local Providers, schools, universities and TAFE, RTO‟s and other community providers are working to increase opportunities to participate in learning whether informal or formal. The City Of Melton Learning Directory has proved to be an invaluable vehicle of advertising informal and some formal learning in Melton.

The Directory is delivered as an Insert in the Local Leader Newspapers and appears on the Council website.


Outcome

Each Term‟s edition carries approximately 154 advertisers, 485 courses covering 28 different program areas. A content analysis of courses advertised in the Learning Directory, along with the collection of enrolment data from Neighbourhood Houses is providing valuable data on what Learning programs people choose. This information will, and is, informing us about where to focus efforts to support people wishing to take advantage of the opportunity to progress from informal learning to formal learning; a key learning plan goal. The implementation of the Melton City Council Learning Plan, along with the growing „Learn Local in Melton‟ report along with the development of Melton‟s Neighbourhood Houses policy will make a major contribution to providing expanded learning opportunities across the municipality. This planning will ensure learning opportunities are provided in our new growth areas as well enhancing opportunities in existing communities.

CaLD and Indigenous

Workshops were facilitated around

learning needs at the African Forum and

support given to the Koorie Homework

club.

Valuable information has been gathered around what is necessary to assist their communities to better access learning and services in the community. It is expected that this will develop further in 2013.

Kindergarten Working Group Research investigating blockers to kindergarten participation across the City of Melton has commenced. The research plan has been completed and a preliminary draft literature review has been produced. The University of Ballarat have been commissioned to undertake the research. This project is being done in partnership with the Melton Early Years Partnership program and is an important step to ensuring that our children get the best possible start in their learning.


Developmental

Approaches to

Classroom

Management

The funders of Common Solutions (Vic Health, TAC, RACV and Melton City Council) partnered with the Melton Network of schools to undertake an investigation into how to reduce suspension rates in the City of Melton. Initial funding of $90,000 was provided over three years. On the strength of the first year‟s report the Vic Health granted an additional $9,000. Professor Ramon Lewis (La Trobe University) and his team were engaged to implement his developmental management approach to classroom management in all City of Melton Government primary and secondary school.

Professor Ramon Lewis from an article in the Age November 28 2011

A Literature Review has been completed

and provided a strong case and rationale

for the implementation of the

Developmental Management Approach.

The research indicated that positive

classroom management environments

promote not only better learning outcomes

and connectedness to learning, but better

health and well being outcomes.

“A 2009 OECD survey of principals and

teachers in lower secondary schools across 24

countries (OECD, 2009) identified classroom

disciplinary practice as a major factor in

developing effective learning environments,

while in Australia the National Mental Health

Plan 2003-2008 identified supportive school

environments as a key protective factor for the

mental health of adolescents (Aust. Health

Ministers, 2003).”

Teacher and Student Survey

A survey was developed and implemented to see how teachers and students viewed classroom management in the early stages of the project.

1204 students in 9 Primary schools

and 708 secondary students attending 6

secondary schools in the Western Region

were surveyed.

Teacher Presentations Filmed

A forum was held in November 2011 where teachers and schools demonstrated bes practice examples of the Developmental Management Approach. Best Practice Demonstrations have been filmed and will be available for teacher professional development.

Outcome:

Less Classroom Exclusions and Suspensions


Australian Learning Communities Network

National Conference:

Learning for the New Economy

The ALCN Conference hosted by the City of Melton was held between 23 to 26th September 2012. The theme of the conference was LEARNING FOR THE NEW ECONOMY, with three key areas within this topic. The Conference was facilitated by Lisa Smith and Jason Clarke of Minds at Work.

Lisa and Jason ensured the conference flowed and were instrumental in stimulating thinking and conversations around the conference themes and responses to presentations.

1) The Power of Social Capital

Dr David McNulty is Chief Executive of

Surrey County Council. He was appointed

there in 2009 after Surrey, one of the

biggest councils in the UK, was adjudged

to be failing in key areas of its

responsibilities. Surrey is now recognised

as a high performing Council. David was

previously Chief Executive of Trafford

where he took it from being rated as “poor”

by the Audit Commission to “performing

strongly” in two years. David presented

the keynote address and the power of

social capital to transform and connect

and strengthen communities.

In addition to his conference presentation,

David presented a seminar organised by

the Community Learning Board for leaders

in Local Government, Towards High

Performing Local Government

David‟s key messages in delivering high performance in Local Government were: Transparency in leadership and organisational behaviour Know Your People and their work styles. There are:

Settlers

Pioneers

Trail Blazers

There are major positive change benefits to be gained from people across work styles teaming together.

Craft your Communication Strategy and messages to individual groups and work styles.

Be Visible in your Community

Ensure Strong Organisational and Community Governance

The feature keynote speaker Dr David McNulty delivered on the theme The Power of Social Capital


2) Children our Future

Dr Sharon Goldfeld presented the key address; on the theme Children Our Future. Her vast experience as Director of the

Australian Early Development Index

program, her practice as a community

paediatrician at the Centre for Community

Child Health at the Royal Children‟s

Hospital in Melbourne and her role as a

senior fellow at the Murdoch Children‟s

Research Institute University of Melbourne

was well evident.

Her research focusing on issues such as

the development of indicators and data to

measure children‟s outcomes and to

evaluate health service delivery and

utilization was presented.

Sharon‟s Key Message

Integrated service delivery to children and

families was a key Message. Dr Goldfeld

highlighted some of the Blue Sky research

undertaken in the City of Melton

Dr Goldfeld presented research that

demonstrated if citizens are to have the

best opportunities in life we must ensure

that all of our children have the best

possible start and be positively exposed to

learning opportunities at an early age.

Dr Goldfeld presented a compelling case

of what is necessary to change children‟s

developmental trajectory through learning.

3) Communicate to Learn

Yvonne Adele “Ms Megabyte” presented the Key address on the theme Communicate to Learn.

Yvonne provided an entertaining and informative presentation on the power of social media both for learning and organisational development.

Cafe Conversations and Speakers Corners

The conference workshops were organised in world cafe and speakers corner style. This created the opportunity for smaller groups and made for a more interactive and engaging conference. A broad range of topics and best practice was discussed. The workshop topics can be seen on the ALCN Website www.alcnconference.net.au

Conference Excursions

Two conference excursions were held. One to Melton to showcase Melton‟s Learning Hubs, shared facilities, public private partnerships, Learning Plan initiatives and businesses and one to the Hume Global Learning Village and the Craigieburn Library and Learning Hub.

Conference on Film

Over eight hours of film footage was taken and this will be turned into 4 or 5 twelve minute presentations to be posted on You Tube and relevant web sites. ALCN Conference Dinner

The ALCN conference Dinner was organised at the end of the conference to celebrate the event and to fundraise for Western Chances. The conference raised $3,500 to go towards scholarships for disadvantaged but talented western suburbs young people to pursue learning opportunities to achieve their full potential.

Terry Bracks, the foundation Chair of Western Chances spoke about the goals and opportunities Western Chances has given young people of the Western Suburbs of Melbourne.

Deputy Mayor Cr Broden Borg addressing the

Conference Dinner held at the National Gallery of

Victoria.

Cr Borg related his journey as a Western

Chances Scholarship recipient to

becoming a teacher and Melton City

Councillor.


Conference Outcomes

Feedback on ALCN Conference

From Belinda McRobie, Shire of Wyong:

“I enjoyed the conference. I was impressed

with the great facilitators, interesting key note

speakers and great projects discussed at the

concurrent sessions and on the field tour.

Overall, I learnt many new things which I can

apply to my work (and educate/ inspire others)

in establishing Wyong Shire as a Learning

Community.”

From Gillian Baxter, Family School

Partnership Convenor with Catholic

Education Office, Sunshine Cluster

“Overall, what I took away from the conference

was the similarities of what we're all trying to

achieve. (When) we connect as a collective

we can look beyond our own agenda's to

recognise the synergy and see partnership

opportunities.

The experience reinforced my feeling about

collective wisdom and how relationships

enhance every learning opportunity, be they

formal or informal and across all ages, gender,

culture and the like.”

The conference raised $3,500 in

scholarships for Western Chances to

distribute.
