  • Appendix 3J Cross-Border Issues and Australian Bushfires
    3J-1 Appendix 3J Cross-Border Issues and Australian Bushfires Table 3J-1 below contains 26 extracts from books, reports and papers, from 1983 through to 2005, which describe the impact of Australia's State-Territory borders and cross-border issues on operational responses to bushfires, and associated costs to individuals, communities and governments. These 26 extracts include 1 from 1983; 1 from 1998; 1 from 2000; 1 from 2001; 1 from 2002; 15 from 2003 (including reports on the January 2003 Canberra bushfires by the Canberra Times and the ACT Stateline television program, and the McLeod and Nairn Reports); 4 from 2004 (including the COAG Report by Ellis et al.), and 2 from 2005. 3J-2 Table 3J-1: Extracts on State-Territory Cross-Border Issues Arising in Relation to Australian Bushfires Source Selected Extracts Whitlam (1983: 40-42): The cost of Australian federalism is horrendous enough when the federal government and a state government or state governments duplicate services for which there is a commonly accepted standard. The cost is higher still when they supply services for which there is not such a standard. The most notorious case in Australian history concerned the railways where the states adopted three different gauges. ... The break of gauge syndrome has another manifestation which was brought to my attention by a fire in the bulk sugar terminal at Townsville in May 1963. The terminal's own fire fighting equipment could not cope. The adjacent Harbour Board could not assist, since its hoses could not be coupled with those of the terminal. Nor could the hoses of the City Council nor those of the federal departments of Civil Aviation and of Air at the airport.

  • Canberra College Students Qualifying for This Honour
    Principal’s Report - AUGUST 2015 I I welcome you all back to the business end of the year, particularly for our Year 12 students. I trust that all students returned rested and revitalised for the semester ahead. At our first week assembly I talked about the importance of feedback as it has two purposes; summative performance and also suggestions for improving performance. Last semester every student received a formal written summative report. This complements the feedback that students received throughout the term through the variety of learning and assessment activities as well as performance in the exams. Seeking and giving feedback also improves the performance of both teacher and student. Parent, teacher and student feedback along with performance data for the college collected over the past 4 years has now been analysed by an external panel as part of the review and validation process. The college validation report will be published before the end of term 3 and will contain a series of commendations and recommendations which will inform our planning for the next 4 years. I thank the students, staff and parents who contributed to the panels deliberations. In the next few weeks student, teachers and parents will be asked to complete the annual online school satisfaction survey. This is an important guide for us in our planning for whole college improvement. Please make the time complete this survey as we value your input and suggestions. Our staff and students continue to excel in a variety of areas. I acknowledge and congratulate; Jim Phillips who has won a promotion to Executive Teacher Science and PE at Lake Tuggeranong College.

  • June 2019 Newsletter
    JUNE 2019 NEWSLETTER Principal’s Update Semester 1 at Canberra College has been a very positive time as the engagement of the college with the community continues to impress. Evidence of this includes the magnificent Woden Square Artspace Photography project through to the academic prestige of the ANU Maths Competition Runner-up result. Reflecting a tradition of highly capable student mathematicians, the college foyer trophy cabinet contains many trophies from the ANU Maths Competition, Including the overall winner in 2017. Final assessments for approximately 350 classes have been completed and student report writing has commenced. Please note that reports will be emailed to parents/carers and students on Friday 5 July. It was at the Board meeting this week that a decision was supported to also include all students in the email distribution of their reports. Previously, students would carry printed reports home in their schoolbags and deliver them to parents/carers. This practice also acknowledges that reports are written to students and contain feedback they should reference to continuously improve their performance. Student reports are valuable in reviewing student learning and pathways, and we encourage all parents and carers to discuss the reports at home. On the topic of feedback, all students are encouraged to complete a short online survey for each unit of study they undertake. This practice is highly valued by teachers as a way they too can use student feedback to reflect on their craft as educators and seek ways to strengthen their pedagogy and areas of practice. During this time College teachers are also required to prepare their Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) Unit Moderation Portfolios for submission this semester.

  • SNFO 45371 Snow Foundation Timeline AW.Indd
    “I’m very proud to say that, over the last 25 years, the Foundation THE SNOW FOUNDATION has donated $18.4 million to 235 organisations and more than 200 individuals, many of whom would have gone without basic equipment or therapy if it wasn’t for our help” Terry Snow, Founder and Chairman | Celebrating 25 Years Twenty-five years ago my brother George and I committed $1 million to the Canberra community to establish The Snow Foundation. As long-term local Canberrans we wanted to give something to the city we love. But more than that, we strongly believe that when you see someone struggling you offer a helping hand. This is just one of the family values that guided The Snow Foundation in the beginning and continues to underpin our work. Initially, we supported individuals who slipped through A significant increase in our corpus gave us greater the cracks or had fallen on hard times – either through capacity to deepen our support into the local region and addiction or misfortune. It was early days for the extend beyond Canberra. We grew our giving significantly Foundation and these gifts were often ad hoc in nature. from $100,000 to $1 million and now give $1.7 million I deliberately chose to maintain a low profile to the annually. Importantly the family has grown the corpus to Foundation’s giving. $39 million and we aim to continue this trend. I soon connected with some well-known charities, We have developed partnerships and collaborations such as The Smith Family, Barnardos, Cancer Council with community groups, philanthropic organisations ACT and St John’s Care.
