ACV/GARDS on the move.. Gippsland Heritage Park Day Out & About
30th October – the ACV/GARDS support group members had a wonderful day out at the Gippsland Folk Museum – Heritage Park in Moe. They had a tour of the park with a very lovely tour guide who arranged for a ride around the park in a vintage car, a silent movie with Charlie Chaplan in their movie theatre and a wonderful two course lunch in the restaurant – there was lots of laughter and much to talk about among friends. The weather was fantastic to top the day off. Pictured below are the group having a wonderful time.
Lavalla Students Asbestos Aware
ACV/GARDS CEO, Vicki, attended Lavalla College, Traralgon to support her VCAL student Jordan, who was doing a presentation of asbestos awareness to 60 of his class mates – Jordan intends to become a plumber – he did a great job of his presentation – There were terrific questions from the students and I must say the students went away from Jordan’s presentation knowing a lot more about asbestos and the issues – more young people who are now much more asbestos aware thanks to Jordan – well done mate – Good luck in your chosen profession – all the best for the future, Jordan
Plumbers Asbestos Aware at Berwick TAFE 2018
5.10.2018 the ACV/GARDS girls gave another asbestos awareness session to another class of apprentice plumbers at Chisholm TAFE Berwick campus. Good questions asked and more apprentices asbestos aware. We are very pleased to have been able to get to so many apprentices this year. We still have one more class at Frankston next week. We hope that those apprentices we have spoken with this year will take some of what we have tried to alert them to back into their working life and home environment.
Probus Club of Warragul Asbestos Aware 2018
ACV/GARDS attended the Warragul Probus Club 27.9.2018 – There were over 100 Probus members who attended. We think most had no idea what asbestos might be lurking in. There were many questions asked about the domestic scene and lots of information given out on the day. The Probus members are now more asbestos aware – thank you for making our org feel very welcome, we enjoyed meeting everyone – special thank you to Jenny & Sharyn for helping on the day it was fantastic to have you both there.
Chisholm Berwick & Frankston Campus Plumbers – Asbestos Aware!
4/9/2018 & 26/9/2018 – ACV/GARDS girls were at Chisholm TAFES Berwick & Frankston campus – another 50 apprentice plumbers asbestos aware – switched on apprentices who had some terrific questions – empowered to ask “is that asbestos” if they suspect it might be. They now know that they can ask questions. Really terrific bunch of apprentices who made us feel very welcome – we had a great time chatting with all these guys about a very serious subject and taking care of themselves. Thanks to their trade teachers for their involvement in the session – terrific input from everyone.
