March 2021 Tech Talk Tech Talk Sydney March Technical 2021 High School PRESENTATION DAY PRINCIPAL Speech day was extremely successful this year and it was the first occasion whereby this ceremony was simultaneously delivered live to our student NEWS body and via social media to our community. I was acutely aware of the far- reaching effect this livestream meant to family, relatives, alumni and friends as we were able to gather and celebrate our student success on a global level. We warmly welcomed back Sam Dando, ex-Deputy Principal, who was responsible for creating the “Sydney Technical High School Wall of Fame” in 2005. Mr Dando delivered a lovely speech about formally celebrating the achievements of our “Old Boys”. Mr Dando’s lovely memoirs of our alumni demonstrated high achievement in many diverse areas including: “inventors, surgeons, medical specialists, musicians, artists, dancers, architects, academics, administrators, economists, businessmen, educators, writers, politicians, engineers, media producers and personalities, sportsmen, Steven So sports administrators, and military Principal commanders”. This is a wonderful testament to the diverse success of our Alumni which is underpinned by the strong educational foundations provided at Sydney Technical High School. L-R: Jerry Mouzakis, Daniel Nemani (School I would like to thank the large team of Captain) and Sam Dando staff and students who made this event possible and acknowledge the never ending support of the Parents and Citizens Committee. I would like to publicly thank Trevor Trotman, Cheryl Feigen, Shane Gamage and Julie Ryan for their outstanding contributions in making the day exceptional. More photos of Presentation Day will be in the next edition of Tech Talk.

Any student who absent in the five days prior to the assessment week is also to supply a medical certificate. Year 11 interim reports will be distributed later this term and will communicate how your son has transitioned into the senior school in each of his subjects. Letters will be sent home to inform parents of students who are causing concern due to their lack of preparation and progress. Year 12 will have their next HSC Assessment period from Monday 15 March until Friday 19 March. Students and parents are reminded to read the Assessment Book carefully, which is located on the intranet under Year 12 Files. Any student who cannot arrive on time or is absent for a task, must phone Ms Peachey at the beginning of the day and provide an Illness Misadventure Form (obtainable in the Assessment Book on the school intranet). Any student who absent in the five days prior to the assessment week is also to Kirk Grinham supply a medical certificate. Year 12 mid-year reports will be distributed early Deputy Principal in Term 2. Letters will be sent home to inform parents of students who are causing concern due to their lack of preparation and progress. INTERIM REPORTS For several years now, STHS has provided the students and parents of Year 7 with an interim report at the end of Term 1. While this is not a comprehensive record of student achievement like that of the Semester Report which will follow at the end of Term 2, the interim report gives parents an indication of the progress their son has made, in his transition to high school, in terms of his organisation, attendance, socialisation and engagement. A similar process also takes place for Year 11 as they will have interim reports completed by their teachers and provided to their parents indicating how they have commenced in their first term in the senior school. The Year 11 interim Alison Preachey report will communicate a student’s dedication to their studies, organisation, Deputy Principal attendance and appropriateness of the subject selection.

  • Enrolment Policy Updated June 2019
    Enrolment Policy Updated June 2019 Girraween High School is a fully academically selective high school. Enrolments are capped at 120 for Years 7–10 and 140 for Years 11–12. New vacancies are limited in Years 8–10 and only arise when a current student leaves. However, an additional class is formed for Year 11 and at least 20 places are offered. Enrolment into Year 12 would, in the majority of circumstances, be an educational disadvantage for the student. Therefore enrolment into Year 12 would be highly unlikely and would be at the discretion of the Principal. 1. Entry to Year 7 1.1 The High Performing Students Unit (HPSU) administers all aspects of Year 7 placement. This information may be accessed as follows: http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/learning/k-6assessments/shsplacement/index.php Therefore Girraween High School has no control of entry into Year 7. 2. Entry to Years 8–12 2.1 Advertising: Advertising is arranged by the HPSU and is placed in selected metropolitan, regional and rural newspapers in mid-June to advise parents that limited vacancies may occur in selective high schools in Years 8–12. Information is provided on the Girraween High School website from mid-June of each year: http://www.girraween-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/our-school/enrolment 2.2 Application Package: It is mandatory that applicants use the official application package developed by the Department of Education (DoE). This may be accessed at: http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/gotoschool/types/selectiveschools.php All applications must reach the school by the advertised date, usually toward the end of July.

  • An Overview of Stile, Australia's #1 Science Resource Provider
    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.
