Itâs relieving to know that the figures leading into Feb 20 are that RCbbc Blog has reached 691 Subscribers + 39 Followers. To each of the viewers of our Support Group – âYouâre not alone!â
The honesty raised through many of these Discussions, Statements + Meetings often leads to Qld Justice being supported in their ongoing matters. Through the Sharing of related postings, local-national-global news events often reveal common patterns of CSA behaviour.
theconversation.com – international students
As âInternational Studentsâ began being focussed on, around Australia Day, 2020 will now have another focus of peers on. While celebrating Australiaâs global reputation in foreign countries, some of these postings may reveal further angst amongst ESL (English as Second Language) families. Obviously, itâs beneficial for all when a positive outcome is made of any negative settings.
Not realising how impacting the issue of international students would be, it seems that this is a largely untapped area. Unsurprisingly, as Education appears as a high commodity in Australiaâs Budget, through the handling of Students our nation has boundless incentives to be hands-on(đŻ?). Similar to the frequent defence of âno harm intendedâ, the amounts of information + reasons for foreign speaking Families of suspected CSA surviving Children + Students is quite astounding!
âForeign studentsâ study in Australia
From Victorian Education Deptâs Risk Assessment Template for International Students, the Events or Environments of Highest risk are:
Homestay host is not clear on Child Safe requirements and mandatory reporting procedure;
Parent of International student not clear on how to report child abuse;
This is where BBC has performed well, as to the the first item – mandatory reporting procedure. Discussions had with the PMSA confirm this, in-addition to easily viewing + Sharing copies of the related PMSA Historical Abuse Redress Policy (PDF). What does cause concern is the ongoing leaps in statistics of BBCâs previous, current and potential enrolments. This is where the second listed âHighest riskâ appears, in the items above. Even through discussions with BBC âOld Boysâ experiences in foreign countries, it appears that even reported Australian CSA occurrences are not included with other Education systems. This could be compounded in ESL predicaments, as demonstrated by particular interest in views from non-English countries.
Visitors – Jan 20
Of greatest concern, is those Students + their Families who âfall between the gapsâ. Through providing our factual evidence, our RCbbc Shares the following link to the International Baccalaureateâs âDiscussing child protection in international schoolsâ (http://blogs.ibo.org/blog/2016/04/14/discussing-child-protection-in-international-schools/). Of particular notes is that the key topics of:
Educating educators (including International Police Cert.)
Lifting the lid
More work needs to be done
Closing off with the Authorâs for IB Schools + protecting children:
Larssonâs advice for IB World Schools
Research the resources available
Attend training
Invite experts into your communities
To protect children:
Listen to them
Support them
Believe them
Find an expert to immediately investigate â it can be damaging to a child to have them repeat a story over and over again to someone who isnât trained to do the interview.
Although a focus of lowSES Students, has been identified amongst some of those spoken with – there is still an extremely âbottomless pitâ, when International Students are concerned. As much an advantageous asset is any academic institution to have a high reputation, many overlapping issues brings this to our latest topic. Even an earlier (supposedly convicted) past BBC teacher, Overlack was recognised employed at QUT Kelvin Grove. Also being recognised in Boarding Schools in Great Britain was another past BBC teacher. Similar to the frequency of âChurch-Hoppingâ throughout Religious sectors, âSchool-Hoppingâ carries some anonymity, which allows such CSA Predators a chance to âchange their maskâ: (Anthony) Kim Buchanan – âButchâ opted to change name use to Anthony (Kim) Buchanan AND role (Secondary Teacher to Counsellor).
Visual idiom
âA leopard đ canât change their spotsâ
it’s impossible for one to change their character, even if they will try very hard. The expression, sometimes also used as âa leopard can‘t change its spotsâ, is used to explain the idea that no one can change their innate nature.
Predators apparently continue their loss of personal attachment, in their ongoing quest to remain immersed with their prey. Most Victims, however are so traumatised that immediate resources must be made available. Following are details from CARC:
The work of this Commission, and particularly the stories of survivors, may bring up many strong feelings and questions. Be assured you are not alone, and that there are many services and support groups available to assist in dealing with these. Some options for advice and support are listed below:
1800 Respect – 24/7 telephone and online crisis support, information and immediate referral to specialist counselling for anyone in Australia who has experienced or been impacted by sexual assault, or domestic or family violence.
Outside Australia, an internet search can also help you link with services most appropriate to your needs and location, or you can contact any of the other organisations on this page
As for the following stat readings, our RCbbc Blog has had expected jumps in the viewing patterns. Over the biggest days of the 26th Jan Settlement-Invasion Holiday, wider attention is being shown to the possible influences â community, social, cultural (International-students) + retail values.

From each of these + as Kim Buchanan (Butch) was both the longest unrestricted, most intense and frequently acknowledged CSA Predator-Abuser, interest in his Potential Charges and related Sentence is greatest.

Closely following this is Nick (Nicholas) Lloydâs situation with Qld Justice / Qld Police. Similar to the delicate matters of Catholicâs George Pell (prev. Cardinal), attempting to shift âpublic blameâ on legal technicalities â Lloydâs eventual retrial is assisted through any extra info past BBC students (âold boysâ) may be able to offer. As contact has been made with various past students + Qld Justice staff, weâre able to provide their Contact Info if you know of related info.
Celebrating the year of the Rat, 2020 will be the year of getting together. Good luck is wished for all followers, of these international zodiac beliefs!

Already (midday Fri 25.01.20), thereâs an expected amount of Visitors compared to all of last wk. Coupled with the delicate tensions of our growing amount of CSA viewers, this annual event is carrying greater strain through our Aboriginal Indigenous Communities, and the publicised split of the British Royal Family – Meghan-Prince Harry situation. #megxit #InvasionDay #AustraliaDay
Australia Day or Invasion Day?
Following our recent sharing of info on the targeting of lowSES Enrolments, relevant trends of International ESL (English as Second Language) Students is also planned to be Shared. During searching + conversations, this seems to be largely unearthed Issue. Extensive information is available, due to the immense School, Education + Government worth; yet the negative outcomes have typically been overlooked.
Outside BBQ at daytime dining for Rudd House Boarders
Not anymore. As will be other overlooked, or unaddressed issues of Indigenous, rural + remote Enrolments (remember Rudd House Borders đŻ ?).
