    WVCC Submission Draft Woden Town Centre Master Plan

    Submission Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) PO Box 280 Woden ACT 2606; e-mail: [email protected] www.wvcc.org.au Facebook: /WodenValleyCommunityCouncil Twitter: WVCC_Inc WVCC submission on the Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) The Woden Valley Community Council (WVCC) is a non-political, voluntary lobby group for the Woden Valley community. We focus on a wide range of issues such as planning, community facilities and infrastructure, parks and open space, public transport, parking, education, the environment and health. Community Councils are officially recognised by the ACT Government and are consulted by government on issues affecting our communities. History The WVCC was formed in 2001 as work begun on the Woden Town Master Plan which was subsequently released in 2004. The WVCC invested a significant amount of work into the development of the 2004 Master Plan, however it was not incorporated into the Territory plan and had ‘No statutory status’. After some ad hoc development proposals at various sites around the Woden town centre over the years that were not compliant with the 2004 Master Plan, we welcomed the announcement that a new master plan planning process would start. Consultation with the WVCC started in late 2012 with the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD) presenting at several WVCC public meetings on this issue. WVCC appreciates the extensive community consultation that preceded the Draft Plan, the results of which have been helpfully consolidated and recorded in the Community Engagement Report Stage1) of October 2014. One issue of concern to the WVCC is that a community stakeholder workshop, similar to the meeting held with lessees and traders, was not conducted.

    NON-STATUTORY BACKGROUND INFORMATION for UNIVERSITY of CANBERRA, STUDENT RESIDENCE GROUP 2

    NON-STATUTORY BACKGROUND INFORMATION For UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA, STUDENT RESIDENCE GROUP 2 As of 14 July 2008 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PLACE • University of Canberra Student Residence Group 2, Block 1, Section 3, Suburb of Bruce, ACT. Within this block, the area under provisional registration includes a 6m curtiledge to the west and south of the Residence Group 2 block building, extending along the southern border to within 6m of the buildings of the Residence Group 1 block and incorporating the parklands between Residence blocks 1 and 2. The northern boundary of the registered area is marked by the southern edge of the footpath extending through to the main campus. HISTORY OF THE PLACE The University of Canberra Student Residence Group 2 was designed by John Andrews International in 1973-74, for the Canberra College of Advanced Education (CCAE), construction being completed in 1975.1 The CCAE became the University of Canberra in 1990. Colleges of Advanced Education were a new type of tertiary level education that emerged in Australia in the 1960s to provide vocational training and be equivalent to universities in stature although different in kind. By 1970 the Canberra College of Advanced Education was established with Dr Sam Richardson as the first Principal and a site in the Belconnen suburb of Bruce, dedicated on 28 October 1968 by the Prime Minister John Gorton. The development of the CCAE also coincided with the introduction of free tertiary education by the Federal Labor Government under Prime Minister Gough Whitlam 1972-1975 that also provided extensive funds for the initiative. Hassell, McConnell and Partners were engaged as architect planners by the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC) with Professor Gordon Stephenson of the University of Western Australia as master-planning adviser to the College.

  • Science Vision Science at Canberra College Is Specifically Designed to Develop a High Level of Skills and Knowledge to Transition Seamlessly Into University

    Science Vision Science at Canberra College Is Specifically Designed to Develop a High Level of Skills and Knowledge to Transition Seamlessly Into University

    Science Vision Science at Canberra College is specifically designed to develop a high level of skills and knowledge to transition seamlessly into University. At Canberra College students are strongly encouraged to work independently and are given many experiences to develop essential skills in scientific method and the opportunity to apply knowledge in practical open-ended investigations that have real world application. The courses prepare students for the real world and to meet the recognised prerequisites for study in Science-based professions as diverse as Marine Biology, Engineering, Medicine and Astrophysics. What Subject Should I Choose? Students planning careers in science-based professions should seek early advice to ensure that they have an appropriate enrolment package. Students, who intend studying Science at University, should enrol in at least one T Science course such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology or Human Biology. You may enrol in up to three. Curriculum All science courses at Canberra College incorporate the Australian Curriculum for all students and provide robust training in preparation for university. Accredited students are catered for in Biology and Human Biology in combined classes with tertiary students. Assessment for accredited students is focussed more on real world applications but still provides sufficient skill for later tertiary studies. Extra-Curricular Program Students are actively encouraged to participate in our strong extra-curricular program. This program provides opportunities to open the world of science in ways not possible in college classes alone. These activities stimulate passion in their chosen area of interest. All major activities are credited as R units and provide points for students on their Senior Certificate.
  • Canberra College Students Qualifying for This Honour

    Canberra College Students Qualifying for This Honour

    Principal’s Report - AUGUST 2015 I I welcome you all back to the business end of the year, particularly for our Year 12 students. I trust that all students returned rested and revitalised for the semester ahead. At our first week assembly I talked about the importance of feedback as it has two purposes; summative performance and also suggestions for improving performance. Last semester every student received a formal written summative report. This complements the feedback that students received throughout the term through the variety of learning and assessment activities as well as performance in the exams. Seeking and giving feedback also improves the performance of both teacher and student. Parent, teacher and student feedback along with performance data for the college collected over the past 4 years has now been analysed by an external panel as part of the review and validation process. The college validation report will be published before the end of term 3 and will contain a series of commendations and recommendations which will inform our planning for the next 4 years. I thank the students, staff and parents who contributed to the panels deliberations. In the next few weeks student, teachers and parents will be asked to complete the annual online school satisfaction survey. This is an important guide for us in our planning for whole college improvement. Please make the time complete this survey as we value your input and suggestions. Our staff and students continue to excel in a variety of areas. I acknowledge and congratulate; Jim Phillips who has won a promotion to Executive Teacher Science and PE at Lake Tuggeranong College.
  • June 2019 Newsletter

    June 2019 Newsletter

    JUNE 2019 NEWSLETTER Principal’s Update Semester 1 at Canberra College has been a very positive time as the engagement of the college with the community continues to impress. Evidence of this includes the magnificent Woden Square Artspace Photography project through to the academic prestige of the ANU Maths Competition Runner-up result. Reflecting a tradition of highly capable student mathematicians, the college foyer trophy cabinet contains many trophies from the ANU Maths Competition, Including the overall winner in 2017. Final assessments for approximately 350 classes have been completed and student report writing has commenced. Please note that reports will be emailed to parents/carers and students on Friday 5 July. It was at the Board meeting this week that a decision was supported to also include all students in the email distribution of their reports. Previously, students would carry printed reports home in their schoolbags and deliver them to parents/carers. This practice also acknowledges that reports are written to students and contain feedback they should reference to continuously improve their performance. Student reports are valuable in reviewing student learning and pathways, and we encourage all parents and carers to discuss the reports at home. On the topic of feedback, all students are encouraged to complete a short online survey for each unit of study they undertake. This practice is highly valued by teachers as a way they too can use student feedback to reflect on their craft as educators and seek ways to strengthen their pedagogy and areas of practice. During this time College teachers are also required to prepare their Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) Unit Moderation Portfolios for submission this semester.

Ltd.. 28 Edward Street, Brunswick. Vic. 3056 20 December 1972 The Honourable Kim Beazley, l.P. Minister for Education Parliament House CANBERRA. A.C.T. 2600 Dear Mr Beazley On 30 November 1971, following the publication by your Department of a plan- ning proposal involving the restructuring of secondary education in the A.C.T., the Minister for Education and Science at that time, the Honourable Malcolm Fraser, approved the formation of a Working Committee to examine the issues involved and to develop a firm proposal that could be put to him. This Committee was to consist of representatives nominated by the A.C.T. Council of Parents' and Citizens' Associations, the A.C.T. Secondary Teachers' Association, the A.C.T. Secondary Principals' Council, the New South Wales Department of Education, and the then Commonwealth Department of Education and Science. At our first meeting we agreed to invite a representative of the Canberra Branch of the Technical Teachers' Association. Because of the need for early decisions to be made concerning the designing of new buildings, we wrote to Mr Fraser on 31 May 1972 to convey our initial recommendations. The text of this letter has been substantially incorporated in this report (paragraphs 3.34-6, 3.46, 3.49-52, 7.107-8). Mr Fraser met the full Committee on 8 August to discuss our interim report, and on 10 August, he announced that he had accepted our main recommendations, covering the construction of new colleges and new style high schools, and the con- version of two existing high schools into colleges.
  • Pioneers of the ACT School System

    Pioneers of the ACT School System

    ArchivesACT Research Guide 1 Pioneers of the ACT Government Schoo) System - Barry Price From 1913, the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education administered government schools in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). While the Commonwealth Government provided the buildings and eventually the preschools and their teachers, the NSW Department supplied the teachers and curriculum services for schools. Growing parent dissatisfaction with the NSW administration resulted in a public meeting in November 1966 at the Australian National University (ANU). A working party under Sir George Currie was formed to draft a proposal for an independent education authority for the ACT. The Currie Report1 was the basis for continuing agitation for an expert inquiry into ACT education, with the ACT Education Working Group being prominent in the lobbying. In October 1970, the Commonwealth Government decided to establish the Commonwealth Teaching Service but rejected the proposal for an education inquiry. Legislation for the Commonwealth Teaching Service was passed early in 1972. Professor W. Neal and Dr W. Radford investigated an appropriate organisation and salary structure for teachers in Northern Territory (NT) schools and their Report2 had relevance for the emerging position in the ACT. A Commonwealth Department ofEducation and Science proposal in 1970 for the building of secondary colleges in 1970 led to the formation of the Working Committee on College Proposals for the ACT, chaired by Dr Richard Campbell. The Campbell Report3 was the basis for the restructuring of ACT secondary education in the mid-1970s into secondary colleges and high schools. It also provided a model of a partnership of parents, teachers and officials for the later Schools Authority.

Approval of the Minutes of the WVCC Meeting of 7 September was held over until the next meeting. Candidates at the Forum: ACT Labor Jennifer Newman, Bec Cody and Brendan Long Canberra Liberals Peter Hosking, Paul House and Jessica Adelan- Longford Independent Margaret Webber Liberal Democrats Fergus Browne and Jacob Gowor Sustainable Australia Melissa Kemp (for Mark O’Connor) The Community Alliance Michael Lindfield and Nancy-Louise Sherger The Greens Caroline Le Couteur, Emma Davidson and Jennifer Faerber 3 Introduction of the Candidates All the above candidates were allocated approximately three minutes to explain why they were standing, the policies they would pursue if elected to office and what they would like to achieve for the electorate of Murrumbidgee. Candidates were seated at a long table at the top of the room, facing the audience, estimated at about 100 people. Bec Cody, like many of the candidates, noted the need to add more vibrancy to the Woden and Phillip areas of the Valley.
