  • 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”.

Is it possible that the department could provide the committee with a list of non-government schools with Indigenous enrolments of less than five per cent that currently receive a loading per Indigenous student under current funding arrangements? Ms Paul: Yes. To be honest, I cannot recall how the current Indigenous funding works, whether or not it works on a per student basis. Nonetheless, we can certainly give you the most recent data on enrolments. Senator MASON: You can do that, all right. Answer Under the current funding arrangements, schools in receipt of grants for recurrent expenditure, are eligible to receive Indigenous Supplementary Assistance in respect of Indigenous students, paid on a per capita basis regardless of the concentration of Indigenous students at the school. The following is a list of non-government schools with Indigenous enrolments of less than 5 per cent of total enrolments. This is based on 2011 data from the Census of Non-Government Schools.

    Senate Standing Committee on Education and Employment - Education QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Additional Estimates 2013-2014 Outcome 2 - Schools and Youth Department of Education Question No. ED0453_14 Senator O'Neill asked on 26 February 2014, Hansard page 101 Question Trade Training Centres - round 5 Senator O'NEILL: Despite this significant investment over five rounds, I am sure there is still a number of schools around the country that do not have trade training centres or actually are not part of a cluster of schools that has a trade training centre servicing a particular area. Could we have a list of such schools or school regions that are currently unserved in terms of trade training options? Mr Cook: I am happy to take it on notice. Senator O'NEILL: If possible, by electorate, just a geoshot. Mr Cook: When you say 'unserved' do you mean no children at a school are accessing a centre? Senator O'NEILL: Yes. Where there are schools that are not able to access either directly in the school or in a site created by a cluster of schools seeking the funding. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice. Answer Attachment A lists the schools eligible to apply for funding under Round Five (Phase One) of the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program that had not been approved for funding as at 17 December 2013. These schools may have existing trade training arrangements in place, for example through local agreements to access Trade Training Centres or by partnering with existing Registered Training Organisations.

  • NASA to Up-Skill 161 Students in STEM During Australia's Largest
    MEDIA RELEASE 8 Dec 2016 NASA to up-skill 161 students in STEM during Australia’s largest Space School expedition Girls from 26 schools across the country will form the largest group of Australian students ever to travel to the US to take part in the world renowned Houston Association for Space and Science Education (HASSE) Space School. The group has been organised by the Alliance of Girls’ Schools Australasia and departs on today and tomorrow. HASSE Space School International Study Program immerses students in the world’s most profound and impactful STEM environment – that of space exploration and science in conjunction with NASA. Alliance President and Principal of Mentone Girls’ Grammar School, Fran Reddan, said the trip would be a life-changing experience that empowers young women to embrace more technologically challenging careers in STEM. ‘Students these days need multi-disciplinary skills to navigate the fast-moving landscape of their future career pathways,’ said Ms Reddan said. With 75 per cent of the fastest growing professions in Australia being STEM related, the Alliance understands the importance of these global programs for girls. Statistics show that girls from girls’ schools are bucking the trend and are more likely to study STEM at school and pursue university studies and careers in STEM fields. Charles Chung, Director of iVicon Australia, the exclusive Australasian partner for HASSE, said the Space School delivers the ultimate, once-in-a-lifetime STEM experience in one of the worlds most inspiring organisations, NASA, and fosters a long-term interest in mathematics, science, teamwork, creativity, and technology. ‘In partnership with the Alliance, this expedition promotes true collaboration amongst the schools and directly aligns with our vision of empowering young women for changing times,’ he said.
