  • Parent Handbook
    Parent Handbook John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School Parent Handbook 1 Parent Handbook INTRODUCTION The intention of this Handbook is to provide parents with an overview of the School’s Policies and Procedures. A school is a complex organisation. Efficient daily management and pastoral care are dependent on clearly spelled-out guidelines, open communication and availability of information on which to base decisions. No-one can be expected to accurately recall or interpret all aspects of policies and procedures. This Handbook provides you with a summary of the key Policies and Procedures of John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School. You are asked to read it carefully and to use it as a first reference when you have any queries concerning expectations and procedures the School has established. I trust this Handbook will be of use to you. Suggestions regarding changes or additions are welcomed.

  • 34. Anglican AA 104 .TAMES, Sir Waiter Hartwell (1863-1942), Lawyer and Politician ---- Walter James Was the Son of a Perth Publican
    34. Anglican AA 104 .TAMES, Sir Waiter Hartwell (1863-1942), lawyer and politician ---- Walter James was the son of a Perth publican. He became a lawyer and political activist. In the 1880s he was a stalwart of the Liberal Association, an organisation Which aimed to create a more egalitarian society by destroying the elite clique of certain families that had ruled the colony for many decades. Waiter James was a founder of the W.A. Football Association at a time when football was the sport of the working classes. He became the spokesman of the workers during the 1890s in d1e Perth City Council and as MLA for East Perth. From 1894 he supported John Forrest's programs of public works and land settlement, but insisted that "roads and bridges were not enough". He worked in Parliament for votes for women, worker's compensation, early shop dosing, legalisation of trade unions and the establishment of an arbitration court. He was minister without portfolio in the short-lived government of George Leake. When Leake died in 1902, Waiter James had sufficient personal support to form his own government that was committed to social reform. The james government accomplished the first reforms for mental health care and the treatment of prisoners. ln addition, James supported state enterprises including the establishment of state hotels. His main concern was to reduce the power of the conservative Legislative Council. Predictably, the Upper House defeated his reform proposals. Tn the 1904 elections, the new Labor Party and the remainder of the Forrest Party defeated Waiter james and his supporters.

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

  • Aboriginal Sentencing in Western Australia in the Late 19Th Century with Reference to Rottnest Island Prison
    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 79 077–085 (2011) SUPPLEMENT Aboriginal sentencing in Western Australia in the late 19th century with reference to Rottnest Island prison Neville Green 182/85 Hester Ave, Merriwa, Western Australia 6030, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Between 1841, when Rottnest Island was proclaimed a legal prison exclusively for Aborigines and the Aborigines Act, 1905, at least 18 Acts and amendments were proclaimed to protect, employ and punish Aboriginal people in Western Australia. This paper considers several of the laws passed after 1870, the manner of policing and sentencing in the northern districts of the colony and the transfer of those convicted under these laws to Rottnest Prison. The application of sentencing laws in the Gascoyne, Upper Gascoyne and Upper Murchison is considered in some detail because in 1884, the number of Rottnest prisoners originating from these districts exceeded the totals from all other districts in the colony. This in turn raises a question whether the number of prisoners originating from these districts may be attributable to an abnormally high rate of criminal acts or to the harsh judgements of those hearing the charges.
