2019-SYMPOSIUM-HANDBOOK.Pdf Our Sponsors We extend our thanks to the generous sponsors who have shared our vision for the future of Learning Analytics. Their support and generosity has helped to make the 2019 CiTEL Learning Analytics Symposium a reality and to make the event accessible to educators more widely. In addition to their commercial affiliations, our sponsor representatives are all experienced educators in their own rights and can share valuable insights into the world of education through their presentations at the Symposium We encourage all delegates to make the most of this opportunity to spend time with our sponsors and to learn from their experience. PLATINUM SPONSOR GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSOR Welcome from the Principal It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Lourdes Hill College for the 2019 Learning Analytics Symposium. As teaching professionals, our challenge into the future will be to engage with and harness the abundance of student data that emerging technologies continue to provide. The science of learning analytics will, we believe, deepen our capacity to improve curriculum design and in turn create teaching strategies which will be personalized to individual student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. Please enjoy your time with us and we wish you well for a successful 2019 and beyond. Robyn Anderson Principal, Lourdes Hill College Welcome from the Symposium Conveners It is with excitement that we welcome you to the inaugural CiTEL Learning Analytics Symposium – CLAS19. We are all part of a significant event that will be breaking new ground in the field of Learning Analytics in education. At the secondary sector level, the application of Learning Analytics to inform student learning is in its relative infancy and there is limited published research and sharing of practice around the use of data and learning analytics in the sector. The aims of this Symposium are to explore and source those people who are using educational data, to provide access to experts in the field drawn from all over Australia, and to offer a platform for sharing good practice. There will be tangible outputs with the gathering together of resources and initiating a Community of Practice around educational analytics. We recognise that some of the most valuable work is being done by ‘everyday’ teachers in their own classrooms. To this end, we hope that you will make the most of the opportunity to learn from others, ask questions and to share how you are using data analytics to improve student learning. Lourdes Hill College is at the forefront of educational innovation and we believe that the 2019 CiTEL Learning Analytics Symposium will be a defining moment in its field and that it will continue to grow. We thank you for your contribution to making this event a success.

Lourdes Hill College was founded in 1916. The rich heritage of the College is drawn from three sources: the compassion of the Good Samaritan found in the Gospels, the patronage of Mary under the title Our Lady of Lourdes and the Benedictine tradition of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan which places strong emphasis on education and the importance of balance in life between work, prayer and recreation. The CiTEL building is an extension of the Benedict Centre. Two enduring qualities of St Benedict were chosen as the names for the main meeting spaces. These are: Caritas, meaning Charity and Veritas, meaning Truth. The choice of the Latin derivations is consistent with what would have been the common language of the day for St Benedict in the Church. 2018 marked the centenary of Duhig Hall.

  • School Fees Report 2019 Introduction
    School Fees Report 2019 Introduction With one in three Australian families sending their child to a non- Government school, private school fees are a huge investment for parents. Edstart’s School Fees Report helps you understand the trends in private school fees across the country. This year’s report analysed fees from over 300 schools, covering tuition, compulsory additional fees and boarding fees. Overall Trends Private school fees across Australia have risen by an average of 3.1% in 2019, which is slightly down from 3.2% last year. While almost 9% of schools reduced their fees or had no fee change, we found that over 84% of schools increased their fees by more than the current inflation rate of 1.8%*. Fee inflation also continued to outpace the average wage growth rate of 2.2%. While there was a small drop in school fee inflation this year, state-based fee analysis showed significant geographic variances. NSW and Victoria continued to lead the way with the highest average school fees and smallest percentage of schools where fees remained the same or were reduced. Western Australia saw the highest percentage of schools that did not raise their fees in 2019 and the lowest average increase in fees at merely 1.58%. On the other hand, ACT showed the highest fee increase of 5.07%. These statewide trends are caused by some of the key themes that are explained further below. A Tale of Three Parts While overall school fee trends were consistent with prior years, 2019 has generated the largest variety of school fee changes in many years.
