  • 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.

Colleges of Advanced Education were a new type of tertiary level education that emerged in Australia in the 1960s to provide vocational training and be equivalent to universities in stature although different in kind. By 1970 the Canberra College of Advanced Education was established with Dr Sam Richardson as the first Principal and a site in the Belconnen suburb of Bruce, dedicated on 28 October 1968 by the Prime Minister John Gorton. The development of the CCAE also coincided with the introduction of free tertiary education by the Federal Labor Government under Prime Minister Gough Whitlam 1972-1975 that also provided extensive funds for the initiative. Hassell, McConnell and Partners were engaged as architect planners by the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC) with Professor Gordon Stephenson of the University of Western Australia as master-planning adviser to the College.

  • Game Day Program Semi-Final 1
    2018-19 WNBL Semi-final 1 v FRIDAY 25 JANUARY 6 PM DOORS OPEN 7 PM TIP-OFF AIS ARENA Round 15 Recap The final round of the regular season turned out to be more of a thriller than expected, with three out of the top four teams having to go to overtime. For the UC Capitals, a double overtime put the team’s winning streak at risk as Bendigo Spirit put everything on the line for the final game of WNBL19. But Marianna Tolo (27 points, 10 rebounds) and Kelsey Griffin (24 points, 20 rebounds stepped up to get the UC Capitals over the line. UC Capitals head coach, Paul Goriss, said that the close call was a great way to prepare the team for finals. “We haven’t been that behind in the last ten weeks, so having a game where we had to fight harder than what we’ve been used to was great. Having a double overtime game is something we hadn’t had either, so there were great learning outcomes for us heading into finals,” said Goriss. The match against Bendigo was significant in other ways for UC Capitals star, Kelly Wilson, who received her WNBL life membership. Wilson has made her mark in the 2018/19 WNBL season, climbing up to sixth on the all-time games played list and third for all-time assists. Third and fourth place was also determined after a thrilling match between the Perth Lynx and Adelaide Lightning. As the Lynx fell one point short of a win after going to overtime, they have fallen to fourth on the ladder and will therefore be the UC Capitals’ opponent for the semi-finals.

  • Science Vision Science at Canberra College Is Specifically Designed to Develop a High Level of Skills and Knowledge to Transition Seamlessly Into University
    Science Vision Science at Canberra College is specifically designed to develop a high level of skills and knowledge to transition seamlessly into University. At Canberra College students are strongly encouraged to work independently and are given many experiences to develop essential skills in scientific method and the opportunity to apply knowledge in practical open-ended investigations that have real world application. The courses prepare students for the real world and to meet the recognised prerequisites for study in Science-based professions as diverse as Marine Biology, Engineering, Medicine and Astrophysics. What Subject Should I Choose? Students planning careers in science-based professions should seek early advice to ensure that they have an appropriate enrolment package. Students, who intend studying Science at University, should enrol in at least one T Science course such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology or Human Biology. You may enrol in up to three. Curriculum All science courses at Canberra College incorporate the Australian Curriculum for all students and provide robust training in preparation for university. Accredited students are catered for in Biology and Human Biology in combined classes with tertiary students. Assessment for accredited students is focussed more on real world applications but still provides sufficient skill for later tertiary studies. Extra-Curricular Program Students are actively encouraged to participate in our strong extra-curricular program. This program provides opportunities to open the world of science in ways not possible in college classes alone. These activities stimulate passion in their chosen area of interest. All major activities are credited as R units and provide points for students on their Senior Certificate.
