There's one hundred and 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: thirteen community centers around the state and they do a 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: tremendous job. But last week I was out at the 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Findon Community Center and I've learnt they offer so many 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: courses in so many different activities and assistance for people 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: living nearby. Director is Die Shure and I caught up 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: with her there. 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: How long have you been here? 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 3: Well, I've been with Council. This will be my thirtieth year. 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 3: This year I have worked as team leader of community centers. 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 3: I have held over jobs that are like special event 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: teams and looked up to two centers at one time 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 3: for three years. This year I've stepped out of Community 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: Development Officer to Community Support Officer, which leads me more 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 3: free to do what I actually love in the center. 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: Yes, well, tell me about the Finden Community Center. I've 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: seen singing, I've seen mosaics, I've seen English as a 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: second language being taught. It's just amazing the variety of 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: things that are done here us today. 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: We run about somewhere about thirty eight programs a week 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 3: and there is broad as coming to English language and 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 3: literacy to tap dancing, and I do teach tap dancing 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: to older people here and that's very popular. But there 25 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: are many many things that people can get involved in 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 3: a moment. One of special things that's happening is that 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: the Masaic group are working on Stoby Pole project out 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: the front, which will heighten Finder Road. There are five 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: stoby poles that we've been allowed to do. The center 30 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: itself is run with the support of volunteers, who you 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: cannot do without. I believe that every center should have them. 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 3: Ours work in reception and on the special events team. 33 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: Reception works normally nine to one and then another lot 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: of people one till three now currently have a vacancy 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: there and you may or may not have met a 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: young woman that's in English language who's going to fill 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: that vacancy and get some experience. 38 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: And language and helping people. 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: So she's applied to come across to come and do 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: that on a weekly basis, So there's opportunity. There's Angela 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 3: in there. She will be dying to tell you her 42 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: own story. And who is really featured during Volunteer Week. 43 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: It really is just that we encourage people to come along, 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: take part and do as much as we can to 45 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: keep the community together and listen also to what they want. 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: We're standing at the moment out the back in the 47 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: community garden and this is a beautiful herb garden and people. 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: Can come along and take what they need. 49 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: Care. 50 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: Not just volunteers, but people living in these streets they care. 51 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: This started in two thousand and six with a connection 52 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: to a local school who bought their young group out 53 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: and helped plant the first lot of things with the 54 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: CEO of the time. That extended to them coming back 55 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: to learn how to cook with herbs. That went to 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 3: a community lunch forever in a day of Asian food 57 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: and so on, and then now it's more like this 58 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: society here Anthony and Sandra who are very involved, they 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: will bring anything we want to the center. They ran 60 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: two Herban salvia workshops throughout the year, one in April 61 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: when September people can come along learn how to propagate 62 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 3: herbs and salvias and plant in their own garden. There 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: are many, many opportunities for people here. The more people 64 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: that can know what we do, the better. 65 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 4: Yeah. 66 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Why should people volunteer? What have you found reasons? 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: Why they want to and why should they. 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 4: Lots of reasons. 69 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: People have lost their partner and feeling lost, and sometimes 70 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 3: there are people who just can't make that step through 71 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: the front door, and we will keep our eye out 72 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: for those people. 73 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 4: There could be. 74 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: That they suddenly have retired and they want to give 75 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: some time, or they want to learn how to do 76 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: painting or mosaicing, or sewing, the sustainable sewing here, which 77 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: is another branch of sewing, we have quilting. There are 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: so many things that people suddenly decide in their life they'd. 79 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: Like to do it. 80 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: And I'll give one quick example of tap dancing. Why 81 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: do people come there? One of my daughters in research 82 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: that if you like, over a period of long time, 83 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: and often it is we've just often a partner, But 84 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: often it had been we were not able to do 85 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: this in our younger years. It was considered not nice 86 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: to be on the stage, or there wasn't the money 87 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: to learn. So all of a sudden they have the 88 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: opportunity and they come on board, and that's really exciting 89 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: to hear. You know, we want more and more people, 90 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: not necessarily in tap dancing and everything to come. 91 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: The other thing I've learned just in a couple of weeks. 92 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: Is you might think I've got nothing to offer, but 93 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: you'd be surprised. 94 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: People need that confidence to come to us. 95 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: There is a network of six centers in the city 96 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: of Charles Sturt. We offer similar sometimes different in each center. 97 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: I think it's very exciting that we're part of that 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: opportunity for people. 99 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: And it's everything here. 100 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: I mean, study support will be on this afternoon for 101 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: twelve to seventeen for people to come in and have support. 102 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: Many of the people with different cultures will come in, 103 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: younger people and there'd be voluntieres here to actually help them. 104 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: So it's varied. I could talk about many. On weekends 105 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: there's the Cantonese opera. 106 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: They rehearse here. They're a delight. 107 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: Then there is often religious groups that meet here almost 108 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: every weekend. This center is booked out with private hiring 109 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: as well for children's birthday parties, celebrations at night for families. 110 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 4: There's all sorts of things happen here. 111 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: I sure you run a busy center obviously, and it's 112 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: really good to see so many people enjoying themselves and 113 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: getting involved. 114 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 4: It is and something I enjoy very much. Yeah, it's great. 115 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: The Finland Community Center offers English courses for people who 116 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: are English is not their first language and they want 117 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: to improve on that. Loretta is in charge of that. 118 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 5: I run the English's second Language program, both in beginners 119 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: and intermediate. People come from a variety of different countries. 120 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 5: In the intermediate class, where we have people from Ethiopia, Italy, Germany, Kazakhstan, 121 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 5: a whole variety or with their own different ways of 122 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 5: having learnt English. So I'm trying to correct some of 123 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 5: those errors, but also give them the courage to keep talking, 124 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 5: keep asking questions, even if sometimes Australians don't quite understand 125 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: or they don't understand what Australians are saying. But just 126 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 5: to keep trying, that's the biggest quest. 127 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: It must be quite rewarding. 128 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you're helping with essentially a basic skill to 129 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: let people get about their daily lives for the rest 130 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: of their lives. 131 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: That's right, That's exactly so. And you're so rewarding and 132 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 5: you get quite a buzz when you see people who've 133 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 5: been making a mistake in their English language and then 134 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 5: they self correct it and it's just like one of 135 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 5: those yes moments you've got it, you. 136 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 4: Know, it's so good. 137 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: How did you get involved, Loretta. 138 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: I come from a migrant family. 139 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 5: My parents came from Italy, so I was their interpreter 140 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 5: as a child. When I started to send me retire, 141 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 5: I thought I'd volunteer here, and I was studying teasoul, 142 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 5: which is teaching English as the second language, and that's 143 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 5: how I became first volunteer and then a little bit 144 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 5: of both paid and volunteer work. 145 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: Now along with it been rewarding challenges. 146 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 5: They asked me questions and I sometimes just don't have 147 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 5: an answer for that. 148 00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: I've got to go and look it up. 149 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 5: The challenges that you always have to be aware that 150 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 5: what might be asked, and you never one hundred percent 151 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 5: a word because they come left a field. 152 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: You know what I've been to now two community centers, 153 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: doing some more in the next few weeks. But what 154 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: I'm learning very quickly is it doesn't matter what your 155 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: background is. There's always something that you're going to be 156 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: able to offer if you want to volunteer. 157 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 4: Oh, definitely, definitely. 158 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 5: There's such a big need in a variety of things 159 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 5: from craft to art, to playing cards, to learning English 160 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: to whatever. There's a huge community need and people come 161 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 5: together in the centers and they meet other people, and 162 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 5: that's great. Two of my students, one from Korea the 163 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 5: other one from Ethiopia, turned out to be great mates 164 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 5: and they go out. 165 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: For dinner and stuff. 166 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: You know, like I wouldn't have put the two together 167 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 5: because they couldn't They couldn't understand each other to begin with. 168 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 4: So you know, how good is that. 169 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: One of the programs they run is a singing workshop 170 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: where people can go along and sing exercise.
