    ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ALLIANCE OF GIRLS’ SCHOOLS (AUSTRALASIA) LTD Monday 23 May 2016 BRANCH REPORTS: WESTERN AUSTRALIA All ten girls’ schools in Western Australia are members of AGSA. This year we welcomed two new principal’s to our schools at the beginning of 2015; Kim Keipe at St Hildas Anglican Girls School and Kerrie Fraser at Mercedes College. In Term 4 we also welcomed Dr Kate Hadwen as Principal to Presbyterian Ladies College. In welcoming new principals, we also said farewell to Beth Blackwood who has been Principal at PLC for 18 years. Beth has been a generous contributor to AGSA serving on the National committee during her time at the school. She has been an inspirational leader of a girls’ school in Western Australia. We are fortunate that we will maintain our contact with Beth as the new Executive Officer of AHISA another important educational group. We try and hold at least one AGSA event each term during the year. In Term 1 we held a Year 12 leaders afternoon which was opened up to 6 members of each School’s student leadership team. This event was run by Senior Staff and Student Leaders of Perth College. It provided a rich opportunity for the girls to connect and share their ideas and thoughts on student leadership especially following the Student Leadership Conference that many of our schools sent girls too. In Term 2 we held a networking and dinner at Penrhos College for senior staff. There were approximately 100 people in attendance and we had the opportunity to hear from Cynthia Griffin, US Consul General based in Perth.

  • Kids Get Chance to Be Australia's First Indigenous PM
    Kids get chance to be Australia’s first Indigenous PM A unique scholarship scheme is giving First Nations kids the chance to pursue their dreams in the nation’s top schools. Maria Bervanakis, News Corp Australia Network DECEMBER 5, 2020, 5:24PM Take a group of kids from regional and remote Aboriginal communities, give them the chance to study at some of the country’s elite boarding schools and universities and you have the making of Australia’s first indigenous prime minister. That’s the view of Indigenous Affairs Minister Ken Wyatt, in a new documentary that underlines how equalising access to education can propel people from any background right to the top. Over the past 10 years, the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) has been helping First Nations youngsters pursue their dreams with scholarships in the nation’s top schools. The program started in 2008 with one student in NSW and now supports nearly 400 students in every state and territory. To date more than 1000 youths have experienced life-changing opportunities thanks to the scholarships. The new documentary by Sky News, Changing Our Nation, takes us on an inspirational one-hour journey with some of the AIEF’s trailblazers. Mr Wyatt, who appears in the show, hails the scholarship program a game changer. “Ultimately, out of these programs will come the next set of leaders, of which one will become the first indigenous prime minister of this country,” Mr Wyatt emphatically declares. Andrew Penfold, the AIEF’s executive director, said the program recognises the transformative power of education.

  • 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.
