4 Our Community, Our Future
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.

5 Our Community, Our Future
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 Building Industry Liaison Consultant Joanne Mikhael doing some heavy earth moving
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.
-
6 Our Community, Our Future
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.

7 Our Community, Our Future
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.

8 Our Community, Our Future
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.
-
9 Our Community, Our Future
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

12 Our Community, Our Future
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.

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.
