Mrs Shaw is passionate about her job and is committed to the development of Pymble Ladies’ College. Her favourite thing about working at Pymble is being able to “interact with so many different people, including students and staff, everyday”. From a background of PDHPE teaching and an enthusiastic sportswoman, Mrs Shaw stays fi t by playing netball and regular walking, including walking home from school. She enjoyed running when she was younger. “When I was at school, I played a different sport every term,” she said. Among the public fi gures she admires are Sue Fear and Fred Hollows, for their exceptional work and community service. “I respect them because they gave their time to developing communities that were in need,” she said. A more personal role model is her grandfather, who survived the Second World War and was one of her “biggest infl uences”. Mrs Shaw attended primary school in England and high school in South Australia. She has been teaching for twenty-eight years, at both co-educational and girls’ “If we focus all of our energies schools. However, she fervently believes that girls do better in all-girls’ schools. into one or two projects or in The biggest challenge at the moment is getting to know the Pymble community. “It’s great when people come and visit me, because then I am much more likely to a particular area we could remember them,” said Mrs Shaw, who resolves to get to know as many students as possible. make a huge difference to lots “Your life is very fast and very immediate,” she proclaimed when asked how of people,”... students have changed since she was at school. “You are more worldly, because of improved communications.

Pymble welcomes new Head of Middle School Lisa Gao, Year 11 Ms Lindsay Bosch has joined the Pymble community as the new Head of Middle School. Ms Bosch brings to the College a fresh outlook backed by 20 years teaching experience. When asked what she liked best about the school, Ms Bosch replied, “All the staff and students at Pymble have a very strong sense of community and are very respectful of each other. I think the students are respectful of the teachers and I think the teachers are thoughtful towards each other.” At school, Ms Bosch’s favourite subjects were history and science. Today, she is an avid reader of educational non-fi ction books and of escapist novels like those of

He and wife Beatrice (1885?-1978) moved into Villa Maria in 1920 and developed a fine garden.

The irregular shape and sloping nature of the ground presented many difficulties, but at the same time abounded with possibilities, of which he has taken full advantage. The most important thing, in a house of this sort, and indeed in any house, is aspect, and here it is just right.

  • Is There a Future for the Sydney Harbour Highline?
    Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? A comparative study of opportunities and limitations in re-vitalisation of elevated railway corridors. ALICJA BATOROWICZ August 2019 Diploma in Local Government Management University of Technology Sydney TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 Chapter 1. HIGH-LINES AS AN OPEN SPACE STRATEGY 5 Chapter 2. SYDNEY HARBOUR HIGHLINE: THE NEXT GREEN OPEN SPACE OF SYDNEY 9 Chapter 3. COMPARATIVE METHODOLOGY 15 Chapter 4. PARKS OF THE HIGH LINE 17 Promenade Plantée and Viaduc des Arts 18 New York City High Line 23 Analysis 28 Chapter 5. ANALYSIS 30 Conclusion 35 REFERNCES 36 pg. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objective of this dissertation is a research of existing examples of former urban railway corridors defined as high lines, successfully reclaimed and transformed to become a recreational open space. Through detailed analysis of two prime examples including Parisian Promenade Plantée and New York City High Line, the aim is to investigate and define the best model for the successful delivery of recently proposed Sydney Harbour HighLine. The aim is to establish a theory that adopted urban high lines are drivers behind economic growth, provide countless benefits to the society and work in harmony with the environment and cultural heritage. This dissertation seeks answers to the following questions: Is there a future for the Sydney Harbour HighLine? Will the revitalisation of Lavender Bay railway line become an elevated challenge or an opportunity? This dissertation has been presented in five chapters. The first chapter begins with an exploration of the unsustainable rate of rapid urbanization and its impact on the environment we live in.
