Parent Handbook Dear Parents and Carers, Welcome to Indooroopilly State School. I hope you find this handbook useful in providing information about our school. Indooroopilly State School's vision states that our school provides a world class education for all our students. We strive to be the best we can be in all that we do. Indooroopilly State School is a child-centred community that is focused on excellence in education. Indooroopilly State School enjoys an outstanding reputation for academic excellence as evidenced by our results in the National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) and Future Problem Solving. Outstanding results in other national assessment programs and competitions see Indooroopilly State School students receive medals in English, Mathematics, Science and Computer Studies. We are a highly multicultural school and are proud to have children from more than 50 nationalities. Approximately 50% of our students were born outside Australia. At Indooroopilly State School each child's day involves interactions and experiences with a range of cultures, religious beliefs and languages. With a focus on our School Core Values, we believe that the Indooroopilly State School environment enables all our children to develop respectful, understanding and responsible perspectives on life. I am proud of the high quality staff and excellent teaching programs at Indooroopilly State School. The staff consistently amaze me with their hard work, commitment and ability to provide and promote an excellent learning environment. We believe that excellent instruction is the key to student learning and we focus on the skills required to continually improve the quality of teaching and learning for all students. Teachers use the Australian Curriculum in their planning and encourage students to "investigate" aspects of English, Mathematics and Science and to apply their knowledge to real life situations. We strive to ensure that every child is learning and achieving every day. This year sees us continue the school’s enhancement journey via “Curiosity and Powerful Learning”. Founded on ten theories of action, “Curiosity and Powerful Learning” brings a lens through which we can strengthen our school- wide approach to quality teaching and learning. Please keep this handbook as a reference for questions you may have throughout the year.

  • First Placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship Examination 1873-1962
    Promising lives: First placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship examination 1873-1962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland in December 2006. Marion Elizabeth Mackenzie BA, BSW, PGDip(Arts) Statement of originality I certify that this thesis is original and my own work, except where the work of others is quoted and acknowledged as such in the text. This material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Abstract The Scholarship was an external examination held at the end of primary school when students were generally aged thirteen or fourteen. It dominated Queensland education for ninety years from 1873 until 1962. For much of that period, passing the examination was the only opportunity for most children to enter secondary education. It was at first a competitive examination for limited places in the early grammar schools, and later a qualifying examination for entrance to any secondary school. The principal focus of this thesis is the early promise displayed by 186 young Queenslanders who were ranked first in the state in the examination. It draws conclusions about the impact of education on individuals and society through longitudinal research, by examining the influence of family, school, community attitudes, world events and personal choices on the outcomes for those successful students. It investigates how early success was translated into their later lives, how they dealt with the opportunities and barriers they encountered, whether females and males had different outcomes, and in what ways they differed from their peers.

It provides a future-focused strategic framework for development at the St Lucia campus and its surrounding precincts, which will be guided by intrinsic heritage, landscape and cultural values. UQ aspires to enhance the role of the St Lucia campus as a highly connected hub that is a fundamental part of the local community, and promote Brisbane and Queensland to the world as a desired destination for learning, research and recreation. We welcome your input to the Master Plan and encourage your feedback and participation.

Francesca Rendle-Short 16 December 2008 311 Abstract Two years before she died, Susan Sontag spoke about the power of fiction, how it is through inventions of a writerly kind that we receive an “education of the heart.” She said it is through art, fiction in particular, that we are able to make a world that “enlarges our sympathy.” This vision underpins this submission for a Doctor of Creative Arts, which consists of two companion texts: a novel (Volume I) and its theoretical annotation/exegesis (Volume II). The novel Bite Your Tongue is the story of a girl’s growing up and out of silence, and how her body operates and survives as the language of the process.

  • The New Inner West Primary School Location – Community Engagement Report
    The new Inner West Primary school location Community engagement report May 2021 Executive Summary This report provides an overview of the feedback received from community consultation activities undertaken by the Department of Education (the department) in January and February 2021 regarding the location of a new primary school in Brisbane’s inner west. In July 2020, the Queensland Government announced a $65 million funding commitment to build a new primary school in the inner west. This consultation formed part of the early planning for the new school. The department’s consultation process offered the community the opportunity to share their feedback on the possible location of the new school on the grounds of Indooroopilly State High School (ISHS) and nominate alternative sites for consideration. The consultation process included an online survey, face-to-face sessions, stakeholder briefings and written submissions via email. Throughout the consultation the department heard that, regardless of the specific location of the new school, the key issues for any potential site included: concerns about traffic and safety; the need for a new school in the area; requests for more time and information; a desire to understand how the department planned for the future; and the preservation of access to green space for school students and local residents. The feedback detailed in this report has been considered by the department as part of the next steps for this project. Based on the community feedback received, this report recommends that the department: further investigates and assesses the Perrin Park Precinct, which includes the former Toowoong Bowls Club, relative to the ISHS site; undertakes further community consultation to ensure the new school, regardless of location, contributes to and has a positive impact on the local community; and defers the delivery of the new school until 2024 to allow time for community consultation and investigation of the Perrin Park Precinct.
