New Books by our Principal, John Mason

“ Commercial Hydroponics”, originally written in 1990, has become one of the world's best selling hydroponic texts. A new, expanded edition has just been published.

“ Growing and Using Vegetables and Herbs” is a new book that goes beyond the usual how to grow them theme of most other books on this subject. Both are published by Kangaroo Press (Simon & Schuster) this spring.
Copies of both can be purchased from www.acsbookshop.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Become a Recognised COUNSELLOR with the Australian Counselling Association
The ACS Diploma in Counselling and Psychology is recognised through the Australian Counselling Association, arguably the largest and most influential association of professional counsellors in Australia .
If you are serious about a career in counselling, we strongly suggest you use our course counselling service or contact our academic staff as a first step. It is a rewarding but demanding field to work in, and not everyone who is attracted to the profession is necessarily suited to the demands and stresses that come with this type of job. We are only too happy to give you a better insight into the “real world” of counselling before you commence on that career path. For details on our diploma click on http://www.acs.edu.au/courses/product.aspx?id=468
