Stephanie McConnell Principal School contact details Turramurra High School Maxwell St South Turramurra, 2074 www.turramurra-h.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 9449 4233 Message from the Principal Turramurra High School values innovation in learning and genuine collaboration which extends from the classroom through to international connections in both educational, corporate and community partnerships. Having an holistic focus to the educational of each individual has enabled us to genuinely explore our identity as a future–focused school and to break down traditional barriers which commonly exist in a high school setting between curriculum areas and within the mindset of teachers when it comes to changing practice. As a school community, we see ourselves primarily as learners. We are not afraid to fail by taking risks in our learning and we embrace change as it is the vehicle for continuous school improvement.

  • MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343

    MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343

    RE: SUBMISSION - MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343 Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission. I object to the planning application to relocate Marsden High School situated since 1959 (60 years) on an attractive spacious 5.4 hectare site with excellent transport links at 22a Winbourne St, West Ryde (close to Victoria Rd) to part (about 60%, that is approximately 1.98 hectares) of the 3.3 hectare site adjacent to the TAFE NSW Meadowbank Campus at 2 Rhodes St Meadowbank. The application aims to increase built capacity for high school students, ultimately catering for 1,500 students and a 120 place Intensive English Centre (IEC), that is, 1,620 students and provide high quality classrooms and collaborative learning spaces. There is a need for more classrooms for high school students, but the application seeks to crowd 1,620 students into a 1.98 hectare area which is only 36%, or about a third, of the existing Marsden High School site. This does not make sense planning or educational sense. I note that a primary school catering for 1,000 students will be sharing the proposed 3.3 hectare school site, that is, 2,620 school students overall. Adjoining the site is the approximately 6 hectare TAFE campus which will cater for 13,000 to 14,000 students and is subject to a separate State Significant Development Application. In contrast, nearby Epping Boys High School enjoys a 9.15 hectare school site. Essentially I consider the planning for the high school as outlined in the application documents to be flawed as it lacks a holistic approach, lacks context, has a narrow, focus and contains some factual errors.

    Term 2 Week 10 5 July 2019 Principal Matters by Mark Watson End of Term As this week draws to a close, we have also reached the end of the second term. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable winter break. It’s that time of year to find a warm and comfy spot and snuggle up with a good book. The school office will be closed from this Friday 5 July and re-open again on Monday 22 July. Staff will return on the 22nd for a school development day and stu- dents in all year groups will return on Tuesday 23 July when normal classes will resume for the third term. This newsletter contains a number of reports on recent activities, including junior debating, the Engadine Band- fest, Mufti Day fundraising, Term 2 Drama, Year 8 Medieval Japanese project and an Hospitality industry immersion week for a lucky staff member, Mrs Doherty. Enjoy. Year 8 into 9 Subject Selections While we are only half way through the 2019 school year, planning is well under way for the 2020 school year. Year 10 have completed their subject choices for next year and now it is Year 8’s turn to choose subjects for 2020. The process will get underway when we return next term. Year 8 will attend briefing sessions during the first week of term 3. These sessions will introduce the elective choices to students. On Thursday 25 July (Week 1, Term 3), we will hold an infor- mation evening for Year 8 students and parents.
