"E" Team Tackles Transport Issue
St Martin De Porres Hostel , Waratah, has this week hosted the 'E' Team. The E Team Program, organised by the Australian Quality Council, provides consultancy training for teams of high school students to analyse workplace dilemmas or procedures to find solutions or improvements.

At St Martin's this week, five year eleven students from Cardiff High School have been investigating transport options for residents at the Hostel.

Manager of St Martin's, Leah Sattler, praised the efforts of the team.

"We are looking forward to the findings of the Team. Transport for our residents is an important issue and I am confident that we will get some young, fresh ideas to solve our dilemma," Ms Sattler said.

Students have employed a number of marketing strategies to reach their final recommendations. Student, Lisa MacLean said that training provided by the Australian Quality Council, along with a procedures manual, set out excellent guidelines for the team to follow.

"Interviewing residents has been a very positive experience, not only for obtaining relevant information but also to see how happy they are at St Martin's. I'm also sure that they have enjoyed having us in their hostel this week," she said.

All will be unveiled by the five impressive representatives from Cardiff High on Friday afternoon at 1.30.
