Interview with Ms Julia Buxton, Principal of the Australian College

Need Education — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:05:12 +0000

Question: Why did you choose a career in education?

I think one of the most limiting things for people is a lack of education or even a lack of knowing what direction to go in. Knowledge gives you the power to change your circumstances, your income, your enjoyment of life and your ability to provide for your family. It gives you the opportunity to get better work, to change your career, to turn a hobby into a source of income, to return to the workforce, or just to learn more about an area of life that interests you. I’ve done it myself and I help others to do it, when we say, “We change peoples’ lives” (the Australian College motto) we really do.

Natural vs traditional medicine

Need Education — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:59:01 +0000

“Natural medicine is healthier than conventional medicine!” and “Natural therapists are all quacks!” are two statements that are often used to establish and maintain the gulf between natural therapies and conventional medicine. However, over the past few years a marked shift has been taking place narrowing the divide between the two camps. Suddenly, statements such as “preventative medicine” and “holistic approach” which would have never been heard from the mouth of medical practitioners let alone government representatives are now almost considered ‘normal’.

Despite this thawing relationship between the natural therapies and medical practitioners signalling a near end of the ‘cold war’ period in health treatment there are still a number of controversial topics with opinions strongly divided.

In this article we are going to take a closer look at some of them.

ELSIS (English Language School in Sydney)

Kerstin Jane — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 05:34:36 +0000

I’ve been teaching at ELSIS for almost one year and can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by. Since working here, I’ve taught from Level 1 (starters) up to IELTS level. I enjoy teaching a different range of levels and abilities. Teaching adults from so many diverse backgrounds is such a wonderful experience, and a complete change from working in the High school system. I’m currently teaching a Level 2 (Elementary) class; it is great fun and I am able to see incredible progress in a short length of time, which is incredibly rewarding.
