Pauline Clayton:  Journalism and politics 17 September 2020

 
Pauline spoke to the club on aspects of journalism and of politics as she had seen those two disciplines through the course of her working life.
She left school with As in English,shorthand and typing. The latter 2 subjects being the norm for many girls of her era irrespective of their ability.
Hey early work was typing material to be used during television broadcasts.  her hard work and ability were recognised and she gained the opportunity to qualify and work in television journalism.
In the course of her presentation Pauline reflected on the changes in journalism over the last decades.  A reflection which suggested to us that modern journal
ism is now less driven by substantiating facts but more on personalities and opinion making.
Sadly her experiences as a political staffer left us with the impression there had also been a similar decline in traditional standards within the political environment.
The club was entertained by anecdotes of Pauline’s experiences from cadet journalist, to regional newspapers, to the major newspaper houses and personal experiences with their owners.  Her time within the political sphere provided us with anecdotes and intriguing insight of politics outside of the Chamber.

STEMM  - Supporting Teenagers Education Mothering Mentoring
 
 
Jacqui Dean, Paul Harris Fellow, creator of and driving force for the STEMM organisation described the work of STEMM, which offers a unique opportunity for teenagers though their pregnancy and motherhood especially where they have no other or little support networks.
 
Running out of Burnside State High School in an independent unit funded operated by volunteers and self-supporting fundraising. 
 
It supports teenagers through pregnancy in their preparation for motherhood and also to maintain the development of their own education as they embark motherhood.
 
The teenagers learn how to be loving mothers, to care for the child ,to balance motherhood and study as they work towards providing opportunity to the child that they had not been able to enjoy.
 
The school provides assistance which recognises the need to also care for the babies and infants as the mothers engage  in formal study – Tertiary Preparation Pathway, Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and  Care, certificate II Business, Literacy, Numeracy, Distance Education, Barista Certificate and First Aid Certificate all contribute to a rich palate of opportunity for the young women to choose from to meet their individual needs.
 
There are also partnerships with TAFE and the University of the Sunshine Coast as well as vocational courses, all in the context of accommodating and respecting the importance of the mothers being able to care for their infants.
 
The Club donated $5,000 to assist in maintaining/developing opportunities for each mother and child.

Vocational visit- Saddlery trading Co.
As part of our Vocational activities we were guests  of Wroxton and Amanda Innes business, the Saddlery Trading Co on 27 Aug 2020.
Thank you so much to Wroxton & Amanda - you have a very successful business right here in Caloundra.  We enjoyed the great company of the 29 who were there, great food prepared by Mark and his merry little helpers, a tour of the business and most importantly a wonderful time to share friendships. Wroxton and Amanda run a very impressive operation showcasing wise and efficient use of computerisation in all facets of the business.
