  • The Good News December 2019
    THE GOOD NEWS DECEMBER 2019 Dear Parents, I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with fun, food, family, and friends! We began our day with a wonderful parish Thanksgiving Mass! Thank you so much to our wonderful Religious Education Students who participated as Readers, Greeters, Altar Preparers, Gift Presenters and Altar Servers: Sigmmond & Nash Antony, Alfina, Penelope, Zarina and Zeke Eull, Ashelyn Tablan, Michael and David Solimondo, Anthony La Firenza, Devyn Rochford, Caitlyn Nicole & Kian Wong, Mary Soto, Brenna Bitcon, Gabby Baluyot, Christopher Foes, Isabella Schwartz, Ariana Henderson, Dean & Nathan Staso, Patrick Babuder, and Anthony and Raymond Biedenbeder. Also, special thanks to our teachers: Barbara Mullen, Jeannie Haworth, Barbara Molina, Robyn Solimando, Yoli Baluyot and Caroline Anthony for all their help at the practice and Mass. We turn the corner and the Advent/Christmas Season is upon us…… Back by popular demand this year! Last week I sent home, with the oldest child, a Liturgical Calendar for each family. It is identical to the ones that are used in the classroom with the children. You will notice that this is no ordinary calendar. It is not organized by months and weeks and days. Instead, it is a circle of Sundays, seasons, and feasts. Each Sunday is represented by a block that is the color of the liturgical season in which the Sunday falls. Noted in the block is the Gospel reading for that Sunday. On the back side of the calendar is some information about St. Matthew. There are many ways to use the calendar during the year, some suggestions are in the Family Guide.

  • The Block-Design Tests * by S
    THE BLOCK-DESIGN TESTS * BY S. C. KOHS1 Portland, Oregon A brief presentation of the Block-design Tests will be attempted in this article. These tests fall in the category of 'performance tests' and have been standardized to measure intelligence. They have been purposely devised to eliminate the factor of language. In this attempt the writer believes he has been especially successful since the instructions them- selves may be given entirely through pantomime and imitation. There has indeed been, and there still is, a great need for tests such as are here presented. In the longer monograph which the writer is preparing for publication, there will be more detailed treatment of many topics, such as the definition of intelligence; an analytic criticism of current methods of standardization; suggested newer statistical procedure; the relation between language ability, performance and intelli- gence; and other pertinent material. The content of the present article has been divided into six sections: {A) The Test Material: 1. The Blocks. 2. The Designs. (2?) The Directions for Applying the Tests: 1. For Subjects Who Can Understand Spoken Lan- guage. 2. For Subjects Who Do Not Know the Names of the Colors. 3. For Subjects Who Cannot Understand Spoken Language. (C) The Score Card and Methods of Scoring. (D) The Norms. 1 Psychologist to the Court of Domestic Relations. 357 358 S. C. KOIIK (E) The Reliability of the Tests. (F) Serviceability.

  • Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Inquiry into issues relating to Redfern/Waterloo Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block The terms of reference for the Inquiry require the Committee to examine proposals for the future of the Block. The long-term future of the Block and its residents is a complex issue requiring initiatives to address social and economic disadvantage experienced by the local Aboriginal community. These issues will be examined in the second stage of the Inquiry and will be addressed in the Final Report. This chapter focuses on the future of the Block in terms of the redevelopment of housing. The purpose of the Committee’s examination of this issue is not to decide what the future of the Block is to be, as that must be determined by the Aboriginal Housing Company and the Aboriginal community. Rather, the Committee has sought to gather together the range of views expressed by members of the community and local organisations during this Inquiry, in order to explore the issues surrounding the Aboriginal Housing Company’s Pemulwuy Redevelopment Project and the progress of the redevelopment. This chapter commences with a brief history of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern and Waterloo. History of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern 3.1 ‘The Block’ is the colloquial name for a residential block in Redfern bounded by Louis, Vine, Eveleigh and Caroline Streets. The Block is owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company. A map of the local area is set out as Appendix 4. 3.2 Redfern and the Block in particular, is a place of political, spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people in Sydney and also for Aboriginal people throughout New South Wales and Australia.
