2017 Khancoban Public School Annual Report Khancoban Public School Annual Report 2017 4270 Page 1 of 12 Khancoban Public School 4270 (2017) Printed on: 3 April, 2018 Introduction The Annual Report for 2017 is provided to the community of Khancoban Public School as an account of the school's operations and achievements throughout the year. It provides a detailed account of the progress the school has made to provide high quality educational opportunities for all students, as set out in the school plan. It outlines the findings from self–assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. Miss Sandra Bowdren Principal School contact details Khancoban Public School 21 Mitchell Ave Khancoban, 2642 www.khancoban-p.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 6076 9445 Page 2 of 12 Khancoban Public School 4270 (2017) Printed on: 3 April, 2018 School background School vision statement We believe that by working in partnership within and beyond the school in a strategic and purposeful way, we will inspire and develop confident, creative and innovative individuals, critical thinkers and problem solvers, and engaged learners, leaders and responsible and productive citizens. Our legacy will be building the capacity of our community for a better future. School context Khancoban Public School is based at the bottom of the snowy mountains, 72km from Thredbo and 68km from Tumbarumba. The township was built as part of the Snowy Hydro Electric Scheme in the 1950’s and 1960’s. It is a small, isolated school with high expectations and quality programs. The school provides education for students drawn predominantly from the township of Khancoban and a small number of students from outlying farms. There are 14 families with a total of 17 students enrolled for 2017. The school structure consists of one multi–grade class with one full time teaching principal. The part time staff include: one School Administration Manager, one General Assistant, one Student Learning Support Officer and one casual teacher. The school is based on student centred learning and emphasises programs based on the individuals needs and whole child development. The school is generously supported by the community. The school is well resourced and has a bright, energetic atmosphere. With committed neighbourhood spirit, the school works in a close, highly professional and strategic partnership with primary partner schools to deliver innovative as well as outstanding academic and social curricula for students across the learning community, K–12. This is achieved through shared values and aligned K–12 teaching and learning projects. Although operating as an individual school, the daily practices and future planning revolve around consolidating the Community of Schools (ALPSS). Self-assessment and school achievement Self-assessment using the School Excellence Framework This section of the Annual Report outlines the findings from self–assessment using the School Excellence Framework, school achievements and the next steps to be pursued in the education of the students in this area. This year, our school undertook self–assessment using the School Excellence Framework. The framework supports public schools throughout NSW in the pursuit of excellence by providing a clear description of high quality practice across the three domains of Learning, Teaching and Leading. The survey assisted in evaluating all aspects of the schools functions, roles and standards. In most areas of the school excellence framework the school was in the delivering range. The school promotes high expectations and quality programs, as well as helping students and their families with welfare and wellbeing. The school also supports leadership in staff and students. Planning is on the three year cycle and Khancoban is in a supportive small schools network, where our common goal is the education of isolated students in rural areas. The school is well equipped and maintained at a high level. The school staff, parents and students are developing a caring, enthusiastic centre of learning where professional relationships are encouraged and students feel safe, cared for and trusted. Our self–assessment process will assist the school to refine our school plan, leading to further improvements in the delivery of education to our students.

Next Steps The Pirozzo units of work were trialled in the classroom and some students enjoyed the diversity and freedom, while others needed greater support to complete tasks on time. The school will continue to use the Pirozzo units of work. This will include: Literacy, Numeracy, Science, History, Art and Geography. These units are designed to support students who struggle in one or more areas, as well as give gifted and talented students the leverage to create greater flexibility in their learning and take their abilities further. How2Learn has still not been successfully implemented into the culture and will be delayed until other aspects of the curriculum are ingrained into the school programming, such as the Literacy and Numeracy programs that are of the highest priority to achieve the State Initiatives. The implementation of Focus on Reading has shown a greater interest in reading and students motivation as well as concentration to stay on tasks. This will continue and grow in the school next year, with support staff trained in the Focus on Reading Strategies. The staff will need to be trained in the new Progressions, that are replacing the Continuums. Extra curricula activities will be offered in 2018 to provide these isolated students an opportunity to enhance their skills, knowledge and learning abilities. The scope and sequence with the four other schools in the ALPSS network will continue next year.

  • Data Versus Desktop: an Assessment of the Severity of Cold Water Pollution in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers Below Khancoban Dam Pope E1 and Nolan A2
    Full Paper Pope and Nolan – An assessment of the severity of Cold Water Pollution below Khancoban Dam Data versus Desktop: An assessment of the severity of Cold Water Pollution in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers below Khancoban Dam Pope E1 and Nolan A2 1. Snowy Hydro Limited, Cooma NSW 2630. Email: [email protected] 2. Snowy Hydro Limited, Cooma NSW 2630. Email: [email protected] Key Points Cold Water Pollution occurs downstream of Khancoban Dam but effects are not as severe or persistent as expected on the basis of the original desktop study Summer suppression is evident but winter elevation, annual amplitude reduction, seasonal displacement and impacts to diel variation are very minor Causes of cold water releases appear to be a combination of reservoir stratification and releases from Murray 2 Power station with releases from the power station being the dominant cause The presence of Khancoban Reservoir appears to be having a minor impact on the percentage of time that breeding temperature thresholds are exceeded during the breeding seasons of a number of native fish expected to occur in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers. Abstract In 2004, Khancoban Dam was listed as one of 9 Dams in NSW considered to cause severe cold water pollution on the basis of a desktop study. This study, based on 5 years of field data, demonstrates that cold water releases do occur from Khancoban but that these events are not as severe or prolonged as expected. On average, there is a difference in temperature of only -2.2°C between monitoring points upstream and downstream of Khancoban Dam during summer.

  • Rates of Bank Erosion Under Natural and Regulated Flows in the Upper
    Full Paper Simon et.al. –Upper Murray River System Bank Erosion: Natural and Regulated Flows Rates of Bank Erosion under Natural and Regulated Flows in the Upper Murray River System: Khancoban Dam to Jingellic 1 2 3 4 Simon A , Hammond J , Artita K and Pope E 1 Cardno, PO Box 1236, Oxford, MS 38655, USA. [email protected] 2 Cardno, 312 Mansfield Rd, Fayston, VT 05673, USA. [email protected] 3 Cardno, Clemson, SC 29631, USA. [email protected] 4 Snowy Hydro, PO Box 332, Cooma, NSW 2630 AUS. [email protected] Key Points Regulation has caused important changes in the hydrologic regime of the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers in the reaches closest to Khancoban Dam. Field data on resistance of the banks was used in combination with BSTEM‐Dynamic to simulate bank erosion for unregulated and regulated conditions using a 32‐year time series of hourly flows. Regulation has led to changes in bank‐erosion rates with increases in the reaches closest to the dam and decreases in the reaches farthest downstream, the former related to greater flow durations that exceed erosion thresholds Abstract The Snowy Mountains Scheme provides for inter‐basin transfers of water and for hydro‐electric power generation in the upper reaches of the Murray River System. Since 1966, the magnitude, frequency and duration of discharges in the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers have been modified by the Scheme. Increases in mean‐annual flows following regulation were determined to be 127% in the upstream‐most reach on the Swampy Plain River, 68% above the confluence with the Tooma River and 16‐19% downstream at Jingellic.

  • Beef Cattle and a History of the Murray Greys
    BEEF CATTLE AND A HISTORY OF THE MURRAY GREYS An article by Holford Lempriere and members of the Publications and Research sub-committee of A&DHS Inc, 1986. When William Wyse drove a mob of cattle belonging to Charles Hotson Ebden south to the pastures of Hume’s River at Mungabareena in November 1835, he was indeed making history. He and his party were the first of a long line of beef cattlemen to make the fertile pastures of this mighty stream famous in the ensuing years. The long drought from 1835 to 1844, coupled with the favourable report of the district by Hume and Hovell earlier, prompted cattlemen from north of the Murrumbidgee to take up runs in the Ovens, Mitta and Murray Valleys between 1835 and 1839. The Upper Murray, as it came to be known, has been noteworthy both for the cattle bred within its own limits and for those it has fattened from up to 1000 miles away. The energetic Wyse, Ebden and the Huons of Belvoir and Wodonga had extended their territories to Bonegilla, Baranduda and Barnawatha and to the valleys of the Mitta and Kiewa rivers to the south. In the following years, the family of Mrs William Mitchell extended further out and up the Murray to Bringenbrong, Khancoban and Indi. Robert Brown moved down river to Collendina, at the junction with the Ovens. John Dight took up Bungowannah (heaving bullock backs) 12 miles down from Albury. In 1836, Redfern and Alexander claimed Thologolong (plain with a creek in it) to the east. Another cattle family early on the scene were the Hores whose name is remembered in a Wodonga street.
