Musical direction of Student End Of Year Concert 2016
Musical direction of Wintec Song Arranging class of 2016 End Of Year Concert 2015 titled "Everybody Gets To Go To The Moon". A public performance of students' final arrangements from the semester 1 paper.
The program, a selection of popular 15 tunes from 1960s - 2015 with the theme 'Moon', was devised to offer students the opportunity to hear their arrangements performed live by a small orchestra comprised of piano, guitar, bass and drums, trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax and trombone and a string section of 3 1st violins, 2 second violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos.
Prior to this performance the students were only able to hear their work played as a computer-generated audio file (far from ideal) so the concert provided an invaluable 'real world' experience.
The performance was devised as a professional experience - the tutor acting as Producer and Musical Director/Conductor, the students becoming arrangers who also prepared their scores and instrumental parts ready for printing and performance within real-time deadlines to emulate a real-world work experience

Preparing students for clinical placements - The student perspective
Educating undergraduate nurses in the 21st century provides some very realistic challenges. Decreased government health budgets, increased student numbers and higher patient acuities have resulted in a reduction in the availability and quality of clinical placements. Simulated nursing practice is an innovative strategy designed to address these concerns. A simulation programme was designed for first year undergraduate nursing students to help prepare them for clinical placement.
The aim of this research is to assess student perspectives and learning from the newly introduced simulation programme. This study is a descriptive design with Kolb’s experiential theory providing a theoretical framework. 158 First year students taking part in a four day simulation programme chose to complete a questionnaire on programme completion. Students responded to five statements using a likert scale and for the remaining four questions, responses were categorised and merged to form broader categories for discussion. Students reported significant learning in the areas of basic clinical skills and clinical documentation and collaborative care. 100% of students recommended the programme continue
Heavy Metal music and comic books: Or that time Archie met Gene Simmons
Heavy Metal and Comic Books are admired by fans with similar senses of belonging, commitment, and devotion to the forms of media that they regularly engage in with other fans. Drawing upon the work of independent Metal Studies researcher Colin McKinnon as well as notions of fandom developed by Jenkins (1992)and Hills (2002)respectively, I discuss critical events in the timelines of both cultural forms. I also discuss examples of where comic books and Heavy Metal have collided - including the urban legend of the Sports Illustrated issue whose ink contained the blood of members of the Heavy Metal band KISS.
