Sexist staffing practices at Carenne

It can be revealed that once again, Carenne Special School has bypassed proper merit selection procedures and appointed staff based on their gender and Carenne staff's own beliefs.

At the beginning of November, two School Learning Support Officer positions were filled through the ordinary interview process, with the positions going to Adam Ryan and Zach Baker. An aide who has been involved with the school for a number of years, Sue Sewell was passed over because the school needed male aides according to Neil Moon.

Moon's claim that Mrs Sewell was less suited to the job than Mr Ryan and Mr Baker because she is female is a case of blatant sexism. Staff outside of the KLAN believe Mr Ryan and Mr Baker to be immature and inexperienced. Carenne whistleblower Barracus told Carenne Gate that she believed Sewell to be a much better choice -

"Sue has worked at the school for a number of years and is a far more capable aide than Adam or Zach. Adam and Zach are immature, inexperienced and incapable of performing to the standard that Sue is."

nedkelly told Carenne Gate that the staffing decision was influenced by Ros Luther, Terry Neal, Angie Cranston and Nadine Dwyer, with the foursome telling staff that Ryan and Baker would get the job because they were just what the school needed and because they "fit into Carenne."

Once again Neil Moon demonstrates his lack of leadership and bias.

Auld boosts numbers in Bill Sewell's class

Bill Sewell, a staunch supporter of Carenne Special School when he owned Bill's Pet Paradise continues to be looked after by Carenne.

Already Bill's wife Sue, also Di Poole, an officer at district office's sister has been guaranteed block work resulting from her husband's former support. According to jrosenberg, Sewell is an incompetent aide and shouldn't have a job at Carenne.

Bill Sewell is a teacher at Bathurst TAFE where he teaches animal studies. At the beginning of this year, enrollment numbers dwindled so Michael Auld conspired with him and fellow Labor Party man Mike Clancy to enroll students in his course. Without these students Sewell would have been without a job.

One patent contacted Carenne Gate to report that their child was forced to do the course and didn't wish to do it.

It shows how Carenne continues to protect it's depends while doing little for students.

Jobs for the family continue at Carenne

Carenne Gate has learned that the nepotistic staffing practices which have been heavily criticised on this blog continue to be used at Carenne Special School in Bathurst. It is these staffing practices which we believe are in part responsible for the continued cover-ups at Carenne.

Recently, Carenne has employeed Carly Sewell, daughter of relief aide Sue Sewell and financial supporter and TAFE teacher Bill Sewell.

The Sewell family has been involved in Carenne for some time. Bill Sewell, former owner of a pet shop in Bathurst provided a great deal of financial and moral support to the school, which is known to engage in corrupt and deceptive fundraising practices, such as the bus appeal where a number of donors were clearly misled.

Sue Sewell's sister, Dianne Poole is employed by the department in a consultancy position at the Bathurst district office. This combined with the former financial support Bill gave the school give Sue preferential aide status at the school.

The close relationship between Carenne and the Sewell family was shown in Michael Auld's recent newsletter piece, where Auld wrote -

"Daniel is going very well Tafe in his Animal Care Course. Bill Sewell - who once owned Bill's Pet Paradise - is an excellent teacher and Daniel looks forward to his classes."

Staff claim that they have never seen such blatant favourtism towards a TAFE teacher and believe it shows exactly why Sue and Carly are working at Carenne.
