I know this is from last month, but talking to Glenn, he says I should make the post anyway. I am on front page. Here is the link to the online version of theIndustry Hub

Mackay Christian College Trade Training Centre is a great place to teach.

Its just a local school that Trev teaches at, having Christian in the title is no different to a school having Catholic, Islamic, etc. There is no religious discussion going on here. Dont worry, I would be quick to delete a religious discussion on this forum.

In this case, its just the name of the school.

The Industry Hub magazine is a local publication, and Trev was on the cover a few weeks ago. The school he teaches at has invested a lot into its trade training center. In Mackay we have a shortage of skilled workers, so any school teaching its kids the basics of a trade is a good idea. Locally a skilled tradesman will earn more than any doctor or lawyer.

Glenn, kick the cat out of the spare room I'm moving in.

Its good to see the dollars coming back into the trade sector, as we sure have to many lawyers already.

Tech, studied in schools have slowly been phased out, and i think we are seeing the results filter through with a reduction in tradesman.

Most of what i am able to do stems from the basics learnt in high school tech studies, and developed further in life.

These include things like metalwork, woodwork, plastics, electronics, photography, i was never any good at art

(cant draw a straight line), didn't like drama

, probably should have paid more attention to cooking??

, sewing was not my thing

Its a pitty the kids of today dont get to do these sorts of things so much anymore, and for Trev to be helping with the teaching of these activities is a real credit to himself.

Pete.

Hi Trev

Good to see the trade teaching re emerging from the pits, no more hairy fairy useless academic rubbish, we need trades people to support the growth in industry Australia should experience from the new wave of infrastructure development and on into sustainable energy.

All the best
