SQ17-000796.Pdf Senate Committee: Education and Employment QUESTION ON NOTICE Budget Estimates 2017 - 2018 Outcome: Schools and Youth Department of Education and Training Question No. SQ17-000796 Senator Collins, Jacinta provided in writing Students with disabilities loading Question Please provide the estimated SWD loading amount to be paid (total) to each approved authority in 2017, using current legislated settings in the Australian Education Act 2013, and the number of students with disability underpinning that estimated loading in each approved authority. Answer The table below provides the Commonwealth funding contribution to the students with disability (SWD) loading and the number of students which attract the loading for each approved authority in 2017. The 2017 figures are estimated entitlements as at the 2017–18 Budget. The student count is an estimate based on the 2016 Schools Census data and departmental enrolment projections. Census data on SWD is determined by whether the student meets the requirements of the state or territory in which the schools is located for financial assistance to be provided in relation to the student as a student with disability. The 2017 census data on SWD will inform the final 2017 loadings, with any changes to funding reconciled with the final recurrent schooling funding payments for this year (as per usual departmental processes). The table has supressed cells where the count was less than six due to privacy concerns. The SWD loading is not a stand-alone amount. It is fully integrated into the calculation of full entitlements under the Australian Education Act 2013 and is inextricably linked to the calculation of transition, base funding and other loadings. Therefore the amount provided is only notionally attributed to the loading. The SWD loading is not intended as funding earmarked to be spent on specific students, rather it enables schools to provide education to all students in a way that better supports students with disabilities. Note that states and territories are the majority funders of government schools and the Commonwealth is the majority funder of non-government schools. Table: 2017 estimated notional SWD loading for each approved authority Notes: - Departmental estimates as at 2017–18 Budget - Data suppressed to ensure privacy for values less than six students.

  • The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia
    The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Author Amath, Nora Published 2014 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Humanities DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/1953 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/367694 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Nora Amath MA (Bond) BHSc (Honours) IIUM School of Humanities Arts, Education and Law Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2014 Abstract Muslim communities are among the least well understood in Australia. This thesis examines the emerging phenomenon of Muslim civil society organisations (MCSOs). In contrast to much publicised jihadist and radical groups, MCSOs are far more representative of Muslim communities and integral to the long-term position of Islam in Australia. Using descriptive phenomenology, this study presents the experiences of Australian Muslim civil society actors and the organisations they represent. Through 30 unstructured, in-depth interviews with 15 Australian MCSOs actors, their stories are told for the first time based on their lived experience and in their own words. In particular, this thesis explores how MCSOs have responded to the challenges of the Australian socio-political context, the perceived impact of these experiences, and how Islam is manifested within the contexts of these experiences. The key themes which emerged from these interviews include: community building, social inclusion, the impact of 9/11 and the negotiation of identity.

They have a model as well. So that is 26. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Who are they? Mr Cook: Things like Seventh-day Adventists or something like that. We can take that on notice, again. It is a loose collection of schools, where they do not reallocate at a system level like other systems do. They work together under the act as an approved authority— Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Are there a number of Christian ones? Mr Cook: There are a number of Christian ones. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Are they bunched together? Is that how we get to 27? Mr Cook: Autism Spectrum Australia, for example, is one. The Uniting Church in Australia Property Trust is another one. We will give you some examples. So, we are up to 26.

  • 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”.
