Supporting young retail workers
In the wake of the Northland Shopping centre incident, in this edition of The Conversation Hour we look at what training and support is available to young retail workers. Also in this edition, we speak to the Chair of Lifeline about coping strategies and we ask a criminologist if police hubs in centres would help curb crime and make the public feel safer. Plus, it's Spinal Health Week, so what's the key to keeping your spine pain free?

Geraldton Universities Centre honours Class of 2025, with 41 students graduating from variety of disciplines
Geraldton Universities Centre's Class of 2025 includes 41 graduates who will return to the local workforce as skilled professionals and give back to the community. On April 15, the achievements of the graduating students were recognised at a formal ceremony at Queens Park Theatre, where they were surrounded by family, friends and the wider GUC community. Marking the culmination of years of hard work and dedication, this year's graduates studied a wide range of disciplines including accounting, arts, education, medical sonography, nursing, paramedic science, psychological science, and social work which were delivered in partnership with CQUniversity, UniSQ and Curtin University. CQUniversity vice-chancellor Professor Nick Klomp gave the keynote address at the graduation. 'The partnership between our two organisations has opened doors to high-quality education right here in this region and has helped produce a generation of skilled professionals who will now give back to this very community,' he said. A highlight of the ceremony was UniSQ Bachelor of Nursing graduate Nadine Barmentlo receiving the prestigious faculty medal for the faculty of health, engineering and sciences. The award is given to graduates who have demonstrated consistently high academic performance and exceptional critical thinking skills. This is the fifth time a GUC student had earned either a faculty or school medal. In another honour, four Aboriginal students — Shanae McGuire and Shanae Clohessy (primary education), Mariah Kara (psychology) and Nicole Wyatt (nursing) — wore special sashes in recognition of their achievements. The GUC alumni network now consists of 605 graduates.
