While most people involved on both sides of the disputes at Carenne Special School have to post on this blog under the cloud of anonymity, Carenne Support administrator Mary Housler has brazenly posted on this blog using her own name.
Carenne Gate can confirm through access logs of this blog and e-mails sent to her friends which have forwarded them to Carenne Gate for comparison that "Mary H" is in fact Mary Housler who posts on this blog using a Internet connection through Bigpond.
While staff at Carenne itself are bound by a code of conduct and Carenne Support's bus staff are forced to sign a contract prohibiting them from using this blog. Mary Housler it would seem isn't covered by the department's code of conduct or any condition of her employment.
It looks as though Mrs Housler is being encouraged to defend Carenne Special School and Carenne Support on this blog by her employer Carenne Support. Mrs Housler has been allowed to continue posting on this blog and is being fed information from the school. As Mrs Housler works for a contractor she should have no knowledge of the goings on inside Carenne, yet from her postings she has been fed information directly from the school for the posting on this blog.
Neil Moon should be held accountable for the posts made by Mrs Housler on this blog, particularly when she is being supplied information by staff at his school.

P&C meeting a flop
The P&C meeting held at Carenne on Monday was a complete flop according to one observer. The school's incompetent principal, Neil Moon warned a few weeks ago that the P&C was at risk of folding due to a lack of people at meetings and the resignation of the president, secretary and treasurer.
Two of the people who resigned were Janelle Kemp and Simone Russell.
According to an observer at the P&C meeting, only a handful of people were in attendance, well short of the 20 claimed by Neil Moon.
The meeting shows the complete lack of support that Carenne has within its local community following the mass of issues relating to child protection, finance and staff bullying.

Michael Auld's $16,000 mistake
Following the revelation that Carenne Special School has been illegally dumping rubbish at a rural tip, it has been discovered that $16,000 worth of interactive whiteboards claimed to have been damaged by Michael Auld have also been dumped at the site.
Eight smart boards have been found at the Rockley Waste Transfer Station belonging to Carenne. According to "nedkelly" these whiteboards are valued at $2,000 each.
"Michael Auld deliberately f---ed them and said Nathan Carter set them up incorrectly,"
"He's an egomaniac. He can't handle being told that everything is falling apart because of him," said nedkelly.
nedkelly claimed that she knew the boards were still under warranty but because of Michael Auld's mistake the school couldn't claim on them.
A source inside the education department claimed that Michael Auld had tried to update the board's on-board software so that they had the features of the newer boards, when this failed the boards were ruined.
"Michael Auld tried to update the software on the boards to allow the touch recognition feature, it didn't work. Only a complete idiot would do something this stupid. He first put the wrong software on and then updated more than one. The bloke is a tool,""It only costs around $150 to fix what he did but instead these idiots throw out $2,000 equipment. The whiteboard has a controller on the back which has been removed by Auld, he wouldn't want anyone knowing that these whiteboards are fine apart from where he stuffed them up," said the departmental source.
The serial numbers and ID numbers on each of the whiteboards reported to be at the Rockley tip are:
SB660-R1-009498
SB660-121461
SB660-R1-011011
SB660-R1-011016
SB660-R1-009294
SB660-R1-009360
SB660-121369
SB660-R1-009499
It provides further evidence of the complete incompetence and mismangement going on at Carenne Special School in Bathurst.

The truth about Carenne funding
Following an article in the Western Advocate yesterday about Carenne receiving the third highest amount of funding in Bathurst per student, I took a look at the Myschool website myself.
While Myschool reports Carenne receives a whopping $36,148 per student the extra costs associated with the school are not included.
These include the transportation of students to the school under the Special Needs Transport Service and the funding previously given to Carenne Support for therapy.
If these were factored in, the amount of funding associated with Carenne would be far higher. I can remember having a discussion with a Carenne Gate whistleblower sometime ago where she told me that there was a bus transporting one student around 80 Km per day one way. Comments on this blog indicate that SNTS operators are paid around $2 per Km so this would add up to over $128,000 per year. Then there are a number of other bus runs which are also funded using the same formula.
With the amount of money involved at Carenne, the school executive needs to be held more accountable for how its spent and for its shady deals with organisations such as RDA.

Carenne's illegal dumping of rubbish affects villagers
A resident of the village of Rockley, South of Bathurst has contacted Carenne Gate to report the illegal dumping of rubbish from Carenne Special School at the Rockley Waste Transfer Station. The resident claims that Carenne has been dumping rubbish at the site for sometime and avoids scrutiny by the council by going to the tip when it is closed through a hole cut in the fence by a Carenne employee.
The resident, who came across the Carenne Gate blog when doing a websearch for Carenne complains that for the last year, increasing amounts of rubbish have been dumped at Rockley by the school's groundsman Peter Taylor.
"At the moment there are cardboard boxes, computer equipment and building waste that Peter Taylor has dumped there,"
"They are so stupid that they put computer stuff and boxes in there with Carenne School still written on them, the tip is only to be used by local residents not by a school in Bathurst,"
"You can go out there some days and there will be half a steel bin full of Carenne School's rubbish, it is really starting to affect those of us who live in the village as it limits what and when we can dump, it's only open two days a week and when they fill it up before Saturday we have no way to dump anything."
The Rockley Resident claims that Carenne would be dumping rubbish at Rockley as it is free for residents unlike the Bathurst Waste Management Centre which charges to dump rubbish.
"Bathurst charge $50 a tonne from memory to dump rubbish, Peter Taylor can dump it at Rockley on the way home for free."
When Carenne Gate asked nedkelly about the arrangements, she claimed that for years the school had been dumping rubbish illegally. "I know of Michael Auld dumping some at Wattle Flat at the tip there and I know of Simone Russell dumping rubbish at Portland when she lived there. When Peter Taylor has more than one load of rubbish, he usually dumps it on the side of the road somewhere,"
"Neil Moon is very supportive of dumping rubbish at Rockley because it saves the school money and because people from Bathurst who might have given the school things won't find what has been wrecked or wasted out at Rockley,"
"Neil Moon says its OK because Peter lives out there, there is nothing wrong with it," said nedkelly.
According to Bathurst Regional Council, which runs the station at Rockley, to use the tip the user must own a property within the rural area.
It once again shows the complete disregard that Carenne Special School management has for other people's property, for the environment and for council rules.

"There is a hole in the side fence that he cut so he can drive in and out," said the Rockley Resident.
"There are recycling bins there for cardboard but Carenne is too lazy to use that and to make matters worse, Peter Taylor is dumping rubbish when the tip is closed. A local saw him dumping a full ute load of stuff there on Friday even though the tip is only open on Wednesday and Saturday, he knows the tip is manned when it is open and knows he isn't allowed to dump Carenne's rubbish here,"

Steve Minshull abuses staff
Carenne Special School klansmen turned whistleblower nedkelly has contacted Carenne Gate after being abused by Capebase Blayney bus driver Steve Minshull on Friday afternoon. nedkelly claims this abuse was leveled at staff in front of students by the driver.
nedkelly claims that Mr Minshull said "you c---s are always running late, this is the second day in a row you have been late. Too bad if I have something else to do. You need to get your f---ing act together."
nedkelly claims that Mr Minshull's aggression and language upset nearby students, with a number of them having to be settled by staff. nedkelly said that Mr Minshull had to pick up a number of students from a local Bathurst school before he went to Carenne and he arrived at Carenne at 2:50PM most days, expecting staff to change their routine to suit him.
"This other school would be having to pull students out of class early just to suit this moron's schedule. He needs to be told that he isn't the boss and he has no right telling us what to do," said nedkelly.
According to nedkelly and Horatio, Steve Minshull behaved the same when he drove the Hartley bus.

Michael Auld's night time behaviour at Carenne gets stranger
A Carenne Special School employee who was passing by the school last night and became concerned that the shed at the rear of the school was being burgled discovered that it was one of their colleagues, Michael Auld acting suspiciously.
The employee reports that they drove past the school at around 8PM and seeing a vehicle parked at the rear gate with its headlights on high beam. When they went to see what was happening, they saw Michael Auld's White Ford Falcon parked at the gate with him standing near the gate.
It is unknown what Michael Auld was doing around the shed at the rear of the school with nobody else around at 8PM at night. The employee told Carenne Gate that they reported it to Carenne Gate so that if anything went missing from the shed, it would be known that it was Michael Auld who had taken it.Michael Auld is regularly observed by posters and Carenne Gate investigators at the school at all times of the day and night by himself. With the plethora of issues at Carenne Special School, including the leaks of confidential information, the likes of Michael Auld should not be allowed at the school after hours.
