BOSSLEY PARK HIGH SCHOOL FOCUSSING ON EXCELLENCE & SUCCESS MAY 2017 Deputy’s Desk The team represented us with pride and passion. There will be a presentation at the next CSG meeting which all parents are welcome to attend on Tuesday the 16th 6.30pm in the staff common room. There is a picture of the team departing from Sydney airport for the longest flight on the planet, 15hrs straight to Fort Worth, Texas. They then caught a second flight down into Houston for the competition in a huge exhibition centre where they tell us it was a 5 min walk from their home base to the competition arena, and what a playing field, it may look chaotic but the students knew exactly what they had to do. We were team 6434 and in a great alliance. The team ended up being 64th overall but 3rd for a Rookie team which is a huge achievement for their first time. After the competition finished they didn’t waste any opportunity to visit other interesting sights like the Natural History Museum and of course NASA’s Johnson Space Centre, the home of ground control from the moon landings. We are very pleased that these student’s got to have such a great learning experience and encourage others to get involved and take part in future programs. We would also like to acknowledge our excellent students whose work is still being exhibited around NSW. Ms Ager and the Visual Arts staff (pictured) have attended yet another Artexpress opening night, where the work of 2017 HSC student Mariam Abrim was on show. It will continue to tour through regional galleries for the rest of the year.

  • An Overview of Stile, Australia's #1 Science Resource Provider
    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.
