21.01.2022 A SMART YOUNG CASINO WOMAN WINS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD BUILDING HER CAREER - by Halden Boyd A YOUNG Casino woman who thought her lifetime of work would be in fine ar...ts has seen a dramatic shift in her career path, and already it is being recognised by the building industry in Australia. Bardie Somerville aged 22 has just received the New South Wales Master Builders Association 2nd Year Apprentice Award for 2020 in carpentry. Bardie, who started her education at Casino Public School where her mother is a teacher, then went to Richmond River High School in Lismore. After completing her Higher School Certificate Bardie was accepted into the National Art School in Sydney to study for a Bachelor In Fine Arts. It really became a bit of a struggle and tedious because I had to take on heaps of jobs to support myself like waitressing. Then out of the blue I was offered a part time job as a builders labourer to pay my bills as an art student and I just loved it because it was so different. Bardie was quick to admit watching builders, or tradies, doing their work fascinated her because it was always different. Building just grew and grew on me and I decided to become a carpenter and I was taken on as an apprentice by a group in southern Sydney call Blue Build. The interesting thing is that now I am putting my artistic ability into carpentry and I just love it, Bardie told The Northern Rivers Times. In presenting the 2020 award the Master Builders Association said it recognised Bardie earning respect from her fellow workers and using her vibrant personality to create an enjoyable and strong working environment. Bardie took on an apprenticeship in carpentry not because she had no option, but because she is passionate about carpentry and for that matter, all aspects of building, the MBA said. The Master Builders Association of NSW organises and promotes a comprehensive awards programme for the building and construction industry, incorporating residential, commercial and civil engineering sectors. The awards serve the full spectrum of building industry participants and include apprentices, students, residential, commercial and civil contractors as well as building degree graduates. Highly contested in all sectors, the MBA’s award programmes represent the encouragement and promotion of excellence in construction, workmanship, innovation and dedication to the industry, and are one of the industry’s oldest award programmes.
