  • WVCC Submission Draft Woden Town Centre Master Plan
    Submission Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) PO Box 280 Woden ACT 2606; e-mail: [email protected] www.wvcc.org.au Facebook: /WodenValleyCommunityCouncil Twitter: WVCC_Inc WVCC submission on the Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) The Woden Valley Community Council (WVCC) is a non-political, voluntary lobby group for the Woden Valley community. We focus on a wide range of issues such as planning, community facilities and infrastructure, parks and open space, public transport, parking, education, the environment and health. Community Councils are officially recognised by the ACT Government and are consulted by government on issues affecting our communities. History The WVCC was formed in 2001 as work begun on the Woden Town Master Plan which was subsequently released in 2004. The WVCC invested a significant amount of work into the development of the 2004 Master Plan, however it was not incorporated into the Territory plan and had ‘No statutory status’. After some ad hoc development proposals at various sites around the Woden town centre over the years that were not compliant with the 2004 Master Plan, we welcomed the announcement that a new master plan planning process would start. Consultation with the WVCC started in late 2012 with the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD) presenting at several WVCC public meetings on this issue. WVCC appreciates the extensive community consultation that preceded the Draft Plan, the results of which have been helpfully consolidated and recorded in the Community Engagement Report Stage1) of October 2014. One issue of concern to the WVCC is that a community stakeholder workshop, similar to the meeting held with lessees and traders, was not conducted.

  • June 2019 Newsletter
    JUNE 2019 NEWSLETTER Principal’s Update Semester 1 at Canberra College has been a very positive time as the engagement of the college with the community continues to impress. Evidence of this includes the magnificent Woden Square Artspace Photography project through to the academic prestige of the ANU Maths Competition Runner-up result. Reflecting a tradition of highly capable student mathematicians, the college foyer trophy cabinet contains many trophies from the ANU Maths Competition, Including the overall winner in 2017. Final assessments for approximately 350 classes have been completed and student report writing has commenced. Please note that reports will be emailed to parents/carers and students on Friday 5 July. It was at the Board meeting this week that a decision was supported to also include all students in the email distribution of their reports. Previously, students would carry printed reports home in their schoolbags and deliver them to parents/carers. This practice also acknowledges that reports are written to students and contain feedback they should reference to continuously improve their performance. Student reports are valuable in reviewing student learning and pathways, and we encourage all parents and carers to discuss the reports at home. On the topic of feedback, all students are encouraged to complete a short online survey for each unit of study they undertake. This practice is highly valued by teachers as a way they too can use student feedback to reflect on their craft as educators and seek ways to strengthen their pedagogy and areas of practice. During this time College teachers are also required to prepare their Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) Unit Moderation Portfolios for submission this semester.
