Bullying has long been an unfortunate aspect of schooling, but today it is no longer confined to the real world. Cyber bullies are making their presence felt, and, while their motivations are the same as those of the schoolyard bully, the way they operate is quite different. This essential program looks at what cyber bullying is; cyber stalking and the law; and what students can do to protect themselves from this ever increasing threat. Education for parents and school communities is also examined, with strategies on how to deal with cyber bullying and positive schoolwide solutions.

Effective Wound Management
Safe skilled practice is central to the principles of nursing. With increasing demands for health professionals to strive for higher standards of care, many nurses are returning to the basics which underpin expert clinical practice in order to review and update their current knowledge and skills. Maintaining asepsis in acute wound management is just one of many basic skills which together create a solid foundation on which to build and support excellence in patient care delivery. This program has been developed with the purpose of marrying the principles of infection control with an aseptic – no touch technique thus promoting the optimum environment for wound healing. Chapters include: A basic overview of the physiology of wound healing; Preparing to dress an acute wound; Setting out the basic dressing pack; Performing an Aseptic No touch dressing technique

Electromagnetic Radiation: Wave and Particle Modes of Light
This program looks at the various properties of light and scientists’ attempts to explain them. In centuries past both wave and particle models have been used to understand, explain and predict the behaviour of light. Neither model on its own able is totally adequate to explain all known phenomena. However, in the early part of the 20th century, the work of scientists including Planck, Einstein, Compton, de Broglie, Davisson and Germer, proved that light demonstrates characteristics of both a wave and a particle – meaning both models are legitimate and that wave particle duality is a valid way of understanding this natural phenomenon.

Eliminating Bullying and Harassment From the Aged Care Workplace
Workplace bullying and harassment can be the downside to the caring professions. People working in Aged Care routinely provide love, care and support for the frail elderly but quite often they can be less than caring and supportive of each other. This program examines the definitions, types and ramifications of workplace bullying and harassment. The program will also assist employees to identify when they, and others, are being subjected to unfair workplace behaviour and, more importantly, what they can do to stop it and prevent its recurrence thereby creating a safer, happier and more productive workplace for all.

Face to Face With Your Competition: Approaches to Group Interviews (Student)
The group interview is a relativity new approach to job interviews that involves assessing a group of applicants completing some kind of common, group or problem solving exercise. Employers use this approach to assess the personal efficacy of individual job applicants placed in a group exercise, in order to ascertain the way they can work in teams and groups. Depending on the actual job descriptions involved, observers assess the applicants using a checklist to rate their qualities in a group setting where interaction is the focus. This serves as a useful contrast to the aspects uncovered in an individual job interview or an individual being interviewed by a group or panel of people. Ultimately this demonstrates the importance of effective preparation for a job interview no matter what approach the interview takes.

Food For Sports Performance
Food and nutrients are one of our basic needs. Food helps to give us energy, repair and replace cells and allow growth to occur. Food is also one of the most important factors in making us go “fast” and allowing for peak physical performance in sporting activities. When people exercise they burn energy, can damage muscles and become dehydrated. This program will help students to understand the role that both foods and nutrients play in allowing themselves and elite athletes to enhance physical performance and succeed in all sporting arenas, whether it is the local football competition or in the AFL.
