Years 7To 12 SECONDARY 2015YEARS 7 TO 12 EDUCATION The aim of our Education Program at Riverside is simple - to provide the top quality productions, workshops and experiences that YOU as teachers need and want to take your students to. Over the past few years, when other companies and venues seemed to have pared back their Education programs, we have expanded. We have taken a grass roots approach to our relationships with teachers. We have consulted with you as a community, participated in your networks, listened to your feedback both formal and informal, and the result is reflected in our varied and unique education program. We know it works as the response and success of this program keeps growing and growing, and as a result our 2015 Secondary program is bigger and better than ever. New in 2015 is our first site-based work - for which we have also partnered with one of Sydney’s most critically acclaimed up and coming theatre companies. We have also given you MORE of what you love - such as more support for HSC prescribed texts in English and Drama. And as you have come to expect, we have our vast array of different productions and learning experiences that support many areas of the curriculum across KLAs, all provided with detailed curriculum links to help you connect the excursions you take to Riverside directly into your programs and units. And while you look at this booklet, don’t forget to check out the ‘From the Education Coordinator’ comment, where I talk to you teacher to teacher about the learning opportunities each production presents. I look forward to working with you in 2015 to bring quality arts education experiences to your students. See you at the theatre!

This includes students with disability, special needs and students from low socio- economic backgrounds. Even though we have allocated certain performances where we provide specific services or modifications, students with any special needs are welcome to attend any performance in our program, not just those allocated as accessible performances. Here are some of the specific access points Riverside can provide: TICKET SUBSIDY PROGRAM Students from low socio-economic areas (including schools previously known as ‘Priority Funded’ or ‘Partnership schools’) or schools that are geographically disadvantaged may be eligible to receive ticket subsidies through our ticket subsidy program. Please contact our Education Coordinator on 8839 3308 for more information on eligibility or to apply for these subsidies. More information on access: Call our Education Coordinator on 8839 3308 or email [email protected] WHEELCHAIR AND LEVEL ACCESS Wheelchair and Level Access is available in all of our venues. Please notify us if your booking requires this access so we can be prepared to best accommodate you on the day and ensure you’re booked into our level access seats. HEARING SYSTEM Our Riverside and Lennox theatres are equipped with a hearing system that can be accessed through modern hearing aids. Headsets and receivers are also available for patrons who do not have hearing aids or whose hearing aid doesn’t work with our system. Please notify us if your booking requires access to the headsets. Image by Dylan Evans 2 RELAXED PERFORMANCES Select performances throughout the year are provided as Relaxed Performances, where the perceived ‘rules’ of theatre are modified to allow people with Autism and other special needs to enjoy the performance in a safe and welcoming environment. Modifications will differ depending on the show, but can include: • Opening the doors to the theatre early to allow patrons to find their seats and become familiar with the space • The house lights being dimmed but not turned all the way down • The understanding that patrons may come and go from the theatre as needed • Elements of the show that might include loud noises or sudden bright lights being toned down or removed from the performance. This year’s Relaxed Performance for secondary students is: The Witches: Thursday 25th June at 10am (see page 18) If you have a group requiring similar modifications that you would like to bring to another event please let us know. SOCIAL STORIES, TOUCH TOURS, MEET AND GREETS & SPECIAL SEATING REQUESTS Upon request, we may be able to provide other services other than listed above to help make your students’ visit more comfortable. These include providing a social story with images and simple language about what to expect when coming to Riverside, arranging a pre-show touch tour or meet and greet with the cast to allow your students time to become familiar with their surroundings, or arranging for you to be seated early or near to an exit if you feel as if you may need to leave the theatre at all during the show. Simply contact us with any request you might have and we’ll do our best to arrange it for you.

  • The String Movement Exists to Disarm Bullying Who We Are
    THE STRING MOVEMENT EXISTS TO DISARM BULLYING WHO WE ARE MISSION STATEMENT The String Movement exists Disarm Bullying by raising awareness, building a global community and providing pathways to education and training for students, parents and teachers within local and global communities. GOVERNANCE Sarah Khiroya founded The String Movement in March 2011, after becoming increasingly concerned about the damaging impact of bullying within her local community. A year and a half after conception, The String Movement was taken on as an official project of Hillsong City Care (a church-based not-for-profit organisation working within the community). The String Movement has had a significant influence within schools and community groups both within Australia and internationally and has become a globally recognised movement to Disarm Bullying in the 21st Century. The purpose of The String Movement is to provide an inclusive framework to disarm bullying within local and global communities. WHO WE ARE “The String Movement” is a movement which exists to disarm bullying in this generation. Statistics show that on average 3 out of every 5 students in high schools are bullied. That is 2, 211,851 of Australian young people. In the lives of victims, bullying can cause: • Increased anxiety, stress, illness, withdrawal, isolation, low self esteem, lack of assertiveness, insecurity and depression • Those who are bullied are 9 x more likely to have suicidal thoughts than those who aren’t bullied • 160,000 young people stay home from school each day in Australia as a result of bullying • Young people who bully are more likely to drop out of school, abuse drugs and alcohol and engage in criminal behaviour by the age of 30 • Male bullies are more likely to batter and bash their spouses and abuse their children THE DIFFERENCE The String Movement is different to other anti – bullying campaigns, as from its foundations it is about the empowerment of young people to make a difference.

    Senate Standing Committee on Education and Employment - Education QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Additional Estimates 2013-2014 Outcome 2 - Schools and Youth Department of Education Question No. ED0453_14 Senator O'Neill asked on 26 February 2014, Hansard page 101 Question Trade Training Centres - round 5 Senator O'NEILL: Despite this significant investment over five rounds, I am sure there is still a number of schools around the country that do not have trade training centres or actually are not part of a cluster of schools that has a trade training centre servicing a particular area. Could we have a list of such schools or school regions that are currently unserved in terms of trade training options? Mr Cook: I am happy to take it on notice. Senator O'NEILL: If possible, by electorate, just a geoshot. Mr Cook: When you say 'unserved' do you mean no children at a school are accessing a centre? Senator O'NEILL: Yes. Where there are schools that are not able to access either directly in the school or in a site created by a cluster of schools seeking the funding. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice. Answer Attachment A lists the schools eligible to apply for funding under Round Five (Phase One) of the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program that had not been approved for funding as at 17 December 2013. These schools may have existing trade training arrangements in place, for example through local agreements to access Trade Training Centres or by partnering with existing Registered Training Organisations.
