Phil Castro and some character cronies have run amuck at
Orica’s unveiling of two newly-refitted floors in Melbourne’s
oldest office tower, at Nicholson St. HA! developed a comedy
tour with the “Chemnuts” project team to show the entire
Chemnet crew around their new digs.
One hundred staff were given a few indications as to what
lay ahead, when they started receiving mysterious audio
announcements from Senor Castro, on their intranet…
They were then introduced in small “tour groups” to
the new 9th & 10th floors, with Orica Chemnet team
members playing many roles! The whole group then
partied the night away at Viva Cabaret in Collingwood…
(just to cap off the South-American feel!)

Humark hallmark….

Twenty school principals, deputies and heads of department from all over
Australia gathered in Melbourne this week for Humark Education’s
inaugural Leadership Bootcamp, with HA! in attendance as guest
presenters.
Participants we asked to think fast, generating ideas to improve their own
workplaces with more light, levity and laughter… as well as being asked
to define their most important leadership principle (yes, principles from
Principals!) for an audio CD production… talk about “on the spot”!
The range of educators was incredibly diverse and we’d like to take
a moment to thank everyone involved for their contribution to a
fantastic session!

Posted by Troy 29 February 2008
Having hosted last year’s Bayer Cropscience Aust & NZ Conference in Qld,
we were delighted to return with Australian Business Theatre to produce
multiple interview videos and to host the KICK Launch, this week.
The on-location videos meant travel up to Caniambo (outside Shepparton),
Packenham and of course Bayer HQ, see the on-location pics here…

The team also had a LOT of fun at the MCG with state-against-state
and mate-against-mate in Round One of the KICK Cup… more
pictures (and the odd injury!) here…

in Melbourne, with Police and other service providers in attendance, from
Australia, New Zealand and the pacific region.

of the Humour Police.

Everyone had a lot of fun and learned a little bit more about each
other and can highly recommend this new blend of training & entertainment.
