It is a venture that only imagination, hand work and some audacity could have brought so far. All these will be needed for its completion”. “I am gratified and pleased to be associated with the birth of this new City and am confident that it will have a long and prosperous future”.

It is these qualities that are basic to our humanity. They are the foundation of our value systems and drive our quest for purpose and contentment. Cultural richness embodies morality, spiritual well-being, the rule of law, reverence for life, human achievement, creativity and talent, options for choice, a sense of belonging, personal worth and an acceptance of responsibility for the future. Biological richness and diversity are, in turn, important to cultural richness and communities of people. When a community ceases to value and protect its natural landscapes, it erodes the richness and wholeness of its cultural foundation.

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Adult Literacy; Basic Skills; Foreign Countries; Instructional Materials; *Integrated Curriculum; Learning Activities; *Literacy Education; Mathematics Instruction; *Mathematics Skills; *Numeracy; Student Evaluation; Teaching Guides IDENTIFIERS Australia ABSTRACT This resource includes units of work developed by different practitioners that integrate the teaching of literacy with the teaching of numeracy in adult basic education. It is designed to provide models of integration for teachers to develop similar resources on different contexts or themes. The units follow slightly different formats. Unit lengths vary from a few sessions to the basis of a semester's work. The way in which literacy and numeracy are integrated also varies; in some units there are literacy and numeracy activities on the same theme or context, and in others activities are more closely woven. The nine sections are on these topics: water, gardens, reasonable force, aboriginal land, work, women in Australia, tourist spots, juggling pool, and banking. Components of each section include the following: learning outcomes; topics; resources; future directions; teacher notes that correlate in a column format whether the activity is primarily literacy or numeracy or both, activities, resources, and assessment; and handouts. Units list additional resources that can be used to extend the students' understanding of particular mathematical skills.

  • Review of City of Playford Rating Policy Review

    Review of City of Playford Rating Policy Review

    Light Electorate Office 148 Murray Street GAWlER SA 5118 [email protected] phone(08)85222878 Mr Glenn Docherty fax (08) 8523 1392 Mayor City of Playford 12 Bishopstone Drive DAVOREN PARK SA 5113 Dear Mayor Docherty Rating Policy Review Consultation Paper I write to you in response to the numerous representations I have received from ratepayers in the City of Playford regarding the proposals the Council is considering to adopt for its rating policy for the 2017/18 and subsequent financial years. At the outset, I wish to thank your senior staff for making time to brief me on the history and objectives of the rating options considered and the process adopted by Council to engage the community. I note that policy options do not generate additional revenue. However, they significantly alter the rates burden across different ratepayer groups. I understand that the intention of the policy proposals is to reduce the burden of rates on the existing 'commercial' properties, with some rate relief on residential properties that have a lower value. I was advised that this will be achieved by introducing new rating categories. In particular, removing primary production properties from the general rate and placing them into a new 'primary production' rating classification. While a number of residential properties will receive some (in my view relatively minor) rate relief, a number of residents will experience quite significant rate increases. Properties with a capital value of more than about $250,000 will incur rate increases, in addition to any general rate increases. I certainly would not consider people living in homes of $250,000 to $350,000 as wealthy.
