20 6.0 CAMPUS REPORTS 6.1 Fiji Students Student Activities Participants in the Fiji Salon Culinaire held in Nadi in late 2013 included many past APTC graduates and 26 current students, and saw them compete against industry professionals. Judges for the competition came from across the world, including New Caledonia, Australia, New Zealand, France, England, Scotland, Wales, and Fiji. All judging was based on World Association Chefs Societies (WACS) criteria and follows international guidelines and rules. The organisers praised the students for demonstrating such high practical work standards and commented on their professional attitudes. As a result of their performance an executive chef from an island resort contacted APTC seeking to employ four current students on completion of their training. An APTC graduate was crowned the Fiji Pastry Chef of the Year for In the Fiji Chef of the Year competition, where contestants were presented with a challenging mystery box of local ingredients, a current commercial cookery student won a bronze medal. The final tally for APTC students in the competition was nine gold, eleven silver and thirteen bronze medals. Aged Care / Health and Community Care students Students from HACC/Aged Care were invited by the zone nurses at Nayavu Health Centre to participate in the Harvest Wellness in You community project at Bucalevu Village. Students had the opportunity to utilise some of the skills learnt in their course, such as; taking blood pressure, checking height and weight, monitoring blood glucose levels, as well as leading leisure and lifestyle activities with older people in the Bucalevu Village and surrounding areas. This is the first time that APTC students have been invited to work in a village environment and experience the important role that health workers undertake in the community. It proved to be a unique opportunity for international students to experience the promotion of health and wellness in Fiji and take from this ideas and/or improvements that they can implement at home. 19 P age

21 Education and Training Delivery Educational processes: An extensive amount of work has been undertaken in the past couple of months to streamline a number of educational processes to create consistency and to improve teaching and learning outcomes. Industry Placements: 158 students from the School of Hospitality and Community Services have completed industry placement. Host employers included Sheraton Denarau, Father Law Aged Care facility Suva, Fiji Youth Council and Sabeto Muslim School Nadi. Small Business Workshop A Small Business workshop in late December 2013 was facilitated by an APTC tutor and trainer. Presenters discussed topics including finance for small business, sustainability for small business with several presentations given by current small business owners. Tutor Professional Development Fiji based SHCS tutors have been undertaking an internal tutor swap program. Tutors have been sent to other Fiji campuses to deliver aligned programs and working under a different trainer. This initiative proved to be a good opportunity for tutors to learn alternative approaches to training delivery and assessment. The initiative also serves to strengthen collegiate networks. To date seven tutors have spent a minimum of one week at a different campus working with a different trainer. Feedback from tutors and trainers has been extremely positive. This initiative will continue throughout New Tutor Development Certificate IV in TAE Three new Suva based tutors have commenced their Certificate IV in TAE training this year. A Disability tutor, Learning Support Facilitator and a Tiling tutor commenced their Certificate IV in Training & Assessment in Nadi in February. The program has been scheduled over four sessions and includes both APTC staff and external fee paying students. Feedback from attendees has been extremely positive; with the Fiji Air Terminal Services Training Manager commenting about the value of the program for her staff, and for herself as the Training Controller for ATS. Industry consultation Delivery from new training packages for Hospitality, Cookery, Tourism and Community Services commenced in Over sixty employers representing seven industry sectors were involved in this process. All planned delivery and assessment strategies have been reviewed and validated by industry to ensure they are meeting industry needs. 20 P age

22 The School of Trades and Technology hosted an Industry Reference Group (IRG) meeting in early February, attended by industry representatives from all the industry sectors aligned with STT, including a number of vocational teachers from Fiji National University (FNU), who are members of established teacher networks invited to attend. The IRG was a combined event with both the construction and engineering stakeholders in attendance. Trainers and tutors provided a brief overview to the whole of the IRG of training program structures and content. The consultation facilitated the sharing of knowledge with stakeholders and industry confirmation that current program content and delivery continue to meet their needs. Events such as these forge links with industry, and benefits include identifying potential host employers for vital industry placement activities. Stakeholder Engagement: Australian Aid, Industry and Community Scoping of the Fiji Fashion and related Industries for training in Applied Fashion and Design Technology The Fashion Council of Fiji sought assistance from APTC to deliver an Australian award course tailored for their industry in Fiji. Former Fiji Fashion Council Chairman Mark Halaby, Fiji Fashion Week organiser Ellen Whippy, Australian Aid representatives and other industry stakeholders met with the APTC CEO to discuss delivery of training for the Clothing Textile and Fashion industry across the Pacific. The meeting afforded an opportunity to discuss the formation of structured fashion training facilitated by APTC. The meeting concluded with recommendations to undertake a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) of the local industry. This has since been completed. As a result of the TNA the delivery of a Certificate III in Applied Fashion & Design Technology, addressing garment construction and manufacture, commenced in February A Suva-based industry training model located at the major industry stakeholder s workshops is being used. An existing worker cohort of 25 students has progressed with a skills recognition process which includes working alongside employees in their workplaces ahead of formalised training. Periods of release from work are scheduled so employees can attend small group training sessions. Industry visit to APTC facilities In March, APTC hosted a visit by the former Education Minister, Netani Sukanaivalu (now Managing Director of Horeb Engineering Company Limited) and the FNU Dean of Engineering Dr. A. Angamuthu. The visit followed an open invitation to industry to view the APTC training facilities and discuss programs and delivery. Horeb Engineering has several APTC graduates as employees, and Netani Sukanaivalu invited the FNU Dean to meet with APTC engineering staff, visit the facilities, and see the equipment required to meet Australian Qualification requirements being used by students. 21 P age

23 Alumni Activities APTC 2012 Early Childhood graduate has provided training to the Lautoka community about communicating well with children. The session was presented to the parents and teachers of the Vimla Reddy preschool on the topic of Speaking Positively with Children.

29 6.2 Papua New Guinea Students Student Activity Recent student excursions have included a picnic at Sunset Lodge, located about forty kilometres from the APTC campus along the west coast. The journey provided the opportunity to visit a local village and past the almost-completed LNG facility on the way. Three groups of students who had completed their training were farewelled at a special campus BBQ on 21 February. They spoke very highly of the APTC project and the positive impact it was having on their lives and the lives of their families. Passport Applications The APTC Student Services team are currently working with the Department for Community Development, Youth and Religion to assist APTC awardees from regional PNG with the processing of birth certificates to enable them to receive a passport. The processing of birth certificates and passport applications has been a significant hurdle for PNG citizens who accept scholarships to study overseas. Education and Training Delivery Seventeen Food and Beverage staff from hotels around PNG will graduate with a Certificate III Hospitality as a result of APTC training. The success of this and previous programs has contributed to the development of this strong partnership between industry and APTC. The December 2013 graduation in PNG saw a total of 111 students receive their awards. A further twenty-two were unable to attend the ceremony. The keynote speaker was the Minister for Labour and Industrial Relations. The closing remarks were made by the Minister Counsellor Development Assistance, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Samoa Graduation 18 March graduates, families and employers The keynote speaker was the Australian High Commissioner. There was media coverage from the Samoa Observer, both TV1 and TV3 in English and Samoan, as well as air time on the Church TV station and radio. Pastoral Care Improvements Samoa campus has initiated a number of pastoral care changes. The newly recruited Student Services Officer is applying a very proactive approach and ensuring that any student who identified has having difficulty or needing additional assistance is been given support. This has included contacting pastors, police officers and senior community representatives from most of the Pacific countries who live in Samoa. These people are then becoming part of the support network for the student(s) and they have readily partnered with APTC to try to ensure the students academic success as well as their personal wellbeing. Next year the Alumni will become part of this process as some alumni will adopt an international student into their family and their village to help them overcome loneliness and other issues. Certificate II in Construction students All fifteen students have completed the twenty weeks of their Certificate II in Construction program. They have been offered eight weeks of work experience building Samoa s state of the art hockey facilities in preparation for the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games.

38 The School for Hearing Impaired (Senese) extends a thank you to APTC Certificate III in Engineering students The small company Paper Again has started to flourish and this is due in no small part to the recycling trough designed and built by APTC students, and more recently the reconstruction of their paper press. The press is used to squeeze water from recycled sheets.the Paper Again business completely staffed by hearing impaired workers, has received an order from SSB for 5,000 sheets and is now well established. This would not have taken place without the efficient and effective design, and high standard of work carried out by the APTC students. Leadership Samoa presentation APTC Country Manager was again asked to deliver a presentation to up and coming Samoan middle-managers selected for this year s Leadership Samoa program. The participants were very interested in the APTC s course offerings as well as the statistics of APTC graduates in Samoa. Alumni Activities As part of their orientation in February this year all of the incoming students (more than 200) were privileged, for the first time, to be hosted by the APTC Alumni at a traditional Ava ceremony. According to the Samoa Alumni President, the Ava ceremony in Samoan culture is very important. Its purpose it to officially welcome any special guests to meetings and gatherings, or for visiting groups from overseas or from another village. It makes them feel at home and accepted in the community. Students from Samoa, Niue, Tonga, Fiji, Marshall Islands, PNG, Solomon Islands, Kiribati and Vanuatu were welcomed to Samoa. The Alumni President explained that: We don t just initiate an Ava ceremony any time we want, unless the guests are so so special. What I m saying is that APTC s new students are special to everyone in APTC Samoa. We are all different; however I believe that we all have a common goal which I simply describe as Unity In Diversity. 37 P age
