Cross Country championship looms for Simpson teenager
For someone about to pitch her running skills against the best in the state, Simpson teenager Janelle Fisher seems anything but nervous.
The Cobden Technical School student will be the only representative from her school at this Friday's Victorian Secondary Schools' Sports association (VSSSA) Cross Country State Championship. Yet she remains laidback in her training and her attitude to this week's big competition. "We're supposed to train," she said. "I go for a jog every now and then and I play netball as well which helps to keep me fit."
It will be Janelle's first run in the three kilometre state event after a winning performance at the recent Western Zone competition. Janelle placed 10th out of a field of about 80 competitors at the Ballarat race to claim her place in the state finals. The 16 year-old will now head to Bundoora where she will face the biggest cross country event of her life. The top 20 from the Western Zone qualified for the state event which would be the same for all the other zones so it's going to be a huge race," she said.
Cobden Technical School sports co-ordinator Joanne Arundell said the qualification process was a lengthy one. "It's quite a process, students have to qualify through the Hampden Zone and then through the Western Zone; Janelle has done very well," she said. "We normally have one or two students qualify each year which is great:'

The Corangamite Extra, THURSDAY, July 16, 2009 An insight into photojournalism
By MADELEINE McNEIL
WORK experience is designed to give secondary school students a taste of what a specific career is really like. It helps them decide if that career is something they would like to pursue in the future. For Cobden Technical School student Naomi Sullivan, 15, a week of work experience at Warrnambool newspaper The Standard was a rewarding experience.
Naomi said she enjoyed the week and would like to study photography. However, she said she would prefer to be a wedding or fashion photographer rather than a newspaper photojournalist.

Bronte top apprentice
Variety is the spice of life - just ask furniture making apprentice Bronte McCann. The first year apprentice has been cutting his teeth at Cobden Kitchens and Joinery and is loving every second. "It's just really hands on," he said. "I wouldn't like sitting in an office doing the same thing over and over'
The 18-year old's dedication to his trade saw him recently named Homesglen TAFE's apprentice of the year for certificate three in furniture making. Bronte attends TAFE in weekly blocks combined with his work for Greg Sueter at Cobden Kitchens. In that time the former Cobden Technical School student has done everything from kitchen joinery to huge home entertainment units. There is definitely plenty of variety," he said. "We are always doing something different:'
