President’s Report Tony Wright STAQ President [email protected] A Busy Time in Science Education A Heathy Interest in Soils – The BPST Conference It’s curiosity that counts! Take soil for example. A topic that can appear mundane springs to life when a person shares their interest with you. This was certainly the case at the STAQ Beginning and Pre-Service Teachers Conference at the CSIRO Ecosciences Precinct in May. Keynote speaker, Kelly Bryant, from from Soil Science Australia shared her knowledge and enthusiasm for soils and ignited our interest in something that is both familiar and much more complex and valuable Tony Wright STAQ President that we at first think. Given that it is the Internation- al Year of Soils it is an ideal time to pass on Kelly Bowls Club. This was a chance to tune up your Bryant’s enthusiasm and help students appreciate science for National Science Week 2015. We had the importance and interest that soils deserve. 13 teams from schools and education depart- ments. A fun night was had by all. Webinars STAQ delivers webinars for teachers to give you access to useful professional support to suit where you are and when you want it. At the moment we are focusing on junior secondary topics and par- ticularly Year 7. Details about how to get access to these webinars are on the STAQ website. 62nd Queensland Science Contest This year is the 62nd year for The Queensland Sci- ence Contest.

    The following schemes are used by Christian Heritage College (CHC) to provide adjustments to the selection ranks of applicants to CHC courses for admissions purposes: • CHC Partnership School Scheme; • CHC Community Engagement Scheme; and • Educational Access Scheme (EAS). Applicants must meet all other admission requirements for their preferred courses prior to the adjustments being applied. Only one scheme can be applied to an applicant’s selection rank. The requirements of the schemes, and the adjustments they provide, are explained below. Year 12 applicants can benefit from an adjustment of 2.00 selection ranks by completing Year 12 at a CHC Partner School (see Appendix 1). The CHC Community Engagement Scheme allows an adjustment of 2.00 selection ranks for applicants in CHC’s catchment area, according to their residential postcode (see Appendix 2). The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) allows an adjustment to be applied to the selection rank of applicants who have experienced difficult circumstances that have adversely impacted their studies. To be considered, applicants apply to QTAC for a confidential assessment of their circumstances.

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.

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”.

This school was only started in 2015 and has already graduated 87 students despite having no classrooms and very few facilities. Currently there are 167 high school aged children attending the school. The school offers courses in; sewing, carpentry, brick making and construction, cultural studies, and sign. In 2016 two dormitories were built to provide accommodation for the students. Unfortunately, these are unfinished having no floor or wall plastering, and very cramped. Students sleep on bunks three high and side by side with no room in-between! Our team took gifts of school exercise books, sports equipment, including a AFRICA full set of sports jumpers for a soccer team, pens and coloured pencils, and gifts for each teacher. These were thankfully received. A special school MISSION assembly was conducted which lasted a full day. Over the day each of the team shared a short encouraging message.

    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.
