  • Guide to Social and Emotional Learning in Queensland State Schools Minister’S Foreword
    Guide to social and emotional learning in Queensland state schools Minister’s foreword Students who are happy in themselves, relate well to others and are motivated to learn, achieve better academically and create positive relationships with their teachers, family and classmates. Today’s young people are growing up in a complex society and they are faced with many challenges. Developing skills such as resilience, problem solving and interpersonal communication are essential for them to lead happy, successful lives now and in the future. Research shows that by building children’s social and emotional skills we can improve their capacity to learn and lay the foundation for coping strategies to improve behaviour and enable them to bounce back after problems. Our Government is committed to a first class education and training system. Developing students’ social and emotional learning skills is a core component of this. This Guide to social and emotional learning in Queensland state schools will support teachers and parents in their efforts to develop these skills in their students. Delivering social and emotional learning in partnership with families increases students’ motivation to learn and leads to more positive relationships with teachers, family and classmates. It underpins the development of safe, supportive learning environments, improved student behaviour and academic performance. This guide draws on schools’ experiences in developing and implementing social and emotional learning programs. I encourage you to read the guide closely and use the information in it to select and develop programs that take account of the local context of your school to meet the specific needs of your students and school community.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    6. The oppositional parties in the Parliament, 1957–1968 Parliamentary opposition to the Nicklin government came from a host of diverse players in the decade between August 1957 and January 1968. Especially after the Labor split of 1957, opponents of the Coalition government were a dispirited and dishevelled band, most of whom appeared as individualistic dissidents. Each had their own particular fights to fight and wars to wage. Each had different enemies in sight. Labor’s Jack Duggan and the QLP’s Ted Walsh never spoke to each other again privately after the split, despite afterwards sitting together in the Assembly for more than a decade, and frequently interjecting against each other. Adversarialism was not only a matter of formal battlelines drawn across the Chamber. Indeed, some of the most intense acrimony was found within the oppositional groups among remaining members who survived the 1957 split. If occasional internal conflicts simmered through the government side of politics, they at least demonstrated the capacity to remain in office while enjoying the comforts and trappings of power. The circumstance of being in government was sufficient to instil a collective solidarity between the Coalition parties, which was evident most strongly in the ministry. In contrast, the oppositional members were far more fragmented and querulous. They demonstrated little prospect of ever forming a single cohesive opposition. Indeed, after only one term in government, the Liberals were describing Labor as the weakest opposition in Queensland’s political history. Only towards the mid-1960s did the Labor opposition gradually develop any coherence and commitment of purpose.

  • Question on Notice No. G1 Asked on 2 October 2012
    Question on Notice No. G1 Asked on 2 October 2012 The Education and Innovation Committee asked the Minister for Education, Training and Employment (Mr Langbroek) – QUESTION: I refer to page 5 of the Service Delivery Statement and note the commitment to invest $10 million to fund 500 university scholarships. Can the Minister please advise how this will assist women to enter career pathways that have otherwise been male dominated? ANSWER: I thank the Committee for the question. The Supporting Women Scholarships program is a $10m Queensland Government initiative providing scholarships for women of all ages considering a future in agricultural science, architecture, building services, engineering, geology, or information technology. Scholarships are available for study at the certificate IV level through to postgraduate level. The program will assist Queensland to meet current and future skills needs by increasing women’s participation in key industry sectors linked to the Government’s four economic pillars Each of these 500 scholarships will provide successful recipients with up to $20,000 over four years to complete study in targeted male-dominated fields in areas of skills shortage, such as engineering, agricultural science, geology, architecture, building services and information technology, from Certificate IV to postgraduate level. These scholarships will assist Queensland women who are studying Year 12, women seeking to change careers or those women who are seeking to re-enter the workforce — many of whom would otherwise be unable to undertake tertiary or higher-level study due to financial or other constraints. Successful applicants will be able to use the funding to offset the costs of their studies, which can sometimes be a barrier to taking up these opportunities.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    9. The slide towards uncertainty, 1969–1972 The Parliament resumed after a break of seven and a half months—a relatively long intermission but by no means unusual in those days. When an election was due in the new year (from March to June), it was common practice for the Parliament to adjourn in late November or early December (before Christmas) and to not reconvene for another six to eight months. This was the pattern followed throughout the 1940s to the mid-1950s and again from 1962 to 1972. The thirty-ninth Parliament would run from 5 August 1969 to 10 December 1971 (202 sitting days in the three-year term or 67 days a year) and not meet again before the May 1972 election. It was the last Parliament to meet with 78 members and, for the first time since winning government, the Coalition governed with a reduced majority. Under Nicklin, the Coalition’s majority had risen from nine in 1957 to 10 in 1960, to 14 in 1963 and 16 in 1966, but fell back to just 12 after the 1969 election—Bjelke-Petersen’s first electoral test as leader. With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear the 1969–72 Parliament was to become Labor’s high-water mark in its period in opposition, when for a few years it posed a credible challenge to the government. It was also a period when the Premier was at his most vulnerable politically—a condition deeply troubling to his own party colleagues, who would eventually be incited to rebel against his leadership.
