How could schools; their communities and the community sector better connect to support learning? How can we increase access to affordable quality early childhood education and care, particularly prior to preschool? How do we make sure all vulnerable children and young people have high quality education and care? What are key points of disadvantage outside school for young people? Do current public school enrolment area settings need to be reconsidered, and in which ways? What skills and abilities should ACT school leavers have? How might school leavers be best prepared for the needs of employers, vocational and higher education? How does the community view the ACT public school system. Why?

    ISSN 0314-8211 CANBERRA Volume 11 Number 1 BIRD March 1986 NOTES Registered by Australia Post - publication No NBH 0255 HONEYEATER MOVEMENT PATTERN THROUGH THE CANBERRA REGION, AUTUMN 1985 C Davey The movement of honeyeaters through the Canberra region at certain times of the year has been well known for some time. An article in Canberra Bird Notes 'Honeyeater Migration Through the ACT' (CBN, Vol 9, Oct 1984) summarised published data, presented some ideas and described some data on movements of honeyeaters collected during the 1984 autumn migration. Also it was proposed that there be a detailed examination of the movement of honeyeaters through Canberra during the 1985 autumn migration. This article reports the results of that survey. Three ways to collect data were proposed: − to provide a data sheet on which to record daily the time and direction of the movement of flocks of honeyeaters; − to have teams recording the passage of birds over specific time periods at certain strategic locations on a few 'blitz' days; and - to establish a few watching points to monitor movements as often as possible. In early March 1985, 200 data sheets were issued with the newsletter 'Gang-Gang' and a single 'blitz' was held on Sunday 28 April. It was not possible to organise selected watching points. OVERALL SURVEY The period of the survey was from Saturday 16 March to Friday 24 May. In addition to the 20 sheets returned there were many spot observations that in themselves were of little value but were very useful in supplementing information from the main body of the survey.

    Canberra bird notes ISSN 0314-8211 Volume 4 Number 4 October 1978 A CONCENTRATION OF BLACK-FACED CUCKOO-SHRIKES AT BERRIMA, N.S.W. Isabel Crowe On 31 March at 10 a.m. a noisy group of Black-faced Cuckoo- shrikes on our property attracted my attention. On going to investigate I found them moving amongst the eucalypts, and counted thirty-eight, which flew off directly to the west. Prior to this date we had-had over 450 mm of rain and I wondered whether they were leaving our very much over- watered countryside. Has any other member noticed these birds congregating in large numbers? Mrs. J.F. Crowe, Jellore Street, Berrima, N.S.W. 2577. CBN 4 4 1 October 1978 BIRD REPORT, 1 JULY 1977 TO 30 JUNE 1978 G.S. Clark and M. Lenz Once again it is time for an annual bird report and here it is. As usual the first task is to thank all those people who have contributed information for the report and whose names are listed at the end of the report. In particular we would like to thank those who regularly record in one area and then make their records available to us. They are K. Anway (Aranda), M. Basten (Campbell), D. Johnson (Hughes), J. McNaughton and A.D. Ross (east end of Lake Burley Griffin), D. Purchase (Melba), S. Webb (Weetangera) and S.J. Wilson (Narrabundah). The second task is to talk a bit about the future. This annual bird report has been prepared mainly from two sources - the records in the observations book and some area records kept by the individuals mentioned above.

    XIX WORLD CARILLON CONGRESS Congress: Barcelona, 1 - 5 July Post-Congress: Tarragona, Lleida’s Lands and Montserrat, 6 - 8 July As president of Catalonia, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the XIX World Carillon Congress 2017 held in Barcelona at the Palau de la Generalitat, the seat of the Catalan government that I preside. I am convinced that the historical background of the Palau de la Generalitat and its magnificent carillon will give an excellent platform to this congress for enjoying the incomparable sound of the carillon and to delve into the music and the culture that surrounds the carillon in general. We are a small country of only seven and a half million people, but with great strengths in fields such as culture, research and innovation, knowledge, talent, entrepreneurship and economic development. We believe to have a potential equal to that of the advanced countries of Europe, which makes us attractive in the eyes of the world. We are also a country open and welcoming. And we want to share with you our values, our virtues, our desires, our way of life and our understanding to the world. I wish you a very good congress and hope you enjoy our country. We will do our best to make you feel at home! Carles Puigdemont i Casamajó President of the Generalitat de Catalunya The Confraria de Campaners i Carillonistes de Catalunya welcomes you to this congress, that we have prepared with great enthusiasm, in the hope that you will all enjoy the variety of the congress program. From July 1 to July 5, Barcelona will host the congress and from July 6 to July 8 the post-congress will take us for a discovery of the city of Tarragona, the region of Lleida and the monastery of Montserrat.

All of our teachers have attended professional learning with Louise Dempsey who is an author and expert in this field. Louise’s practices are research based and have a positive impact on learning outcomes for students. She demonstrated to our staff many examples of the links between oral language, reading and writing activities. Louise was very interested in our current practices across the school and shared on her social media site, photos and explanations of Lyndsey Orchard’s teaching resources (one of our experienced Kindergarten teachers). We will continue to share our practices with you over the coming months. 2019 School Satisfaction Surveys As part of our school improvement journey, we collect and analyse many sources in relation to our school action plan.
