  • What Works for Boys?
    Australian Regional Conference 2017 Bucking the trend - What works for boys? - a 2-day program designed to provoke discussion around current educational issues, the research and literature about what works for boys. “Observation and theory get on best when they are mixed together, both helping one another in the pursuit of truth” - Sir Arthur Eddington, 1934 In education, “What works?” is rarely the right question, for the simple reason that in education, just about everything works somewhere, and nothing works everywhere.” - Dylan William, 2016 This conference will feature keynote addresses by leading educational researchers and thinkers and will challenge some accepted educational views. There will also be the opportunities for delegates to participate in workshops and share good practice about boys’ schooling. The program is targeted at teachers and school leaders committed to learning more about the best practices for boys’ learning. Presentations and workshops will generate informed reflection and discussion about boys’ education To maximise impact and deepen learning we encourage educators to attend as school teams. Conference Themes: Bucking the trend - What works for boys? • Learning from research • Issues in boys’ education • Shaping the culture in a boys’ school • Leading change in classroom practice • Building boys’ self-esteem and confidence Presentations will also be referenced against the following AiTSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers: • Know students and how they learn • Know the content and how to teach

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Sports Association for Adelaide Schools
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Sports Association for Adelaide Schools PO Box 279 Glenelg SA 5045 REPORT GENERAL MANAGER In general taking the role of General Manager of SAAS has been a very challenging one. As an organisation there has been little change or improvement over the last 20 years as the organisation has operated on a subsistence level with resourcing at a bare minimum. This has accordingly created a great deal of antiquation which will take a great deal of effort and resourcing to update many of the processes that are literally decades behind. The process has also focused on providing full flexibility to school needs with not much concern given to the overall competitions hence there has been little consistency and accordingly features that are part of most sporting competitions, such as Premiership Tables and Finals, have hardly featured in the SAAS competitions whatsoever. With a completion of a strategic plan SAAS in the near future there needs to ba a focus on better resourcing itself as an organisation and enhancement its processes and structures to create more consistent and meaningful competitions that will better service its member schools in the future. SAAS is an important organisation with a very healthy position in regards to participation and delivering good sporting opportunities to its member schools. Its programs are enormous with significant diversity and its member schools provide high quality venues and coaching which all members should be very proud. A great deal of credit must go to the staff in the schools that coordiante these programs. Matt Miles General Manager The following sporting competitions were conducted in 2017 2017 SPORTING COMPETITIONS 2017 SPORTING AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL The Australian Rules Football competition was conducted in Term 2 and 3 with 142 teams competing in 18 divisions.

The 19th century saw an expansion in the public schools, which seized the opportunity to prepare boys for service in the Empire. The schools developed an elaborate systems of totems and talismans. Their rituals were reenacted all over the world. The rich symbolism of schooldays prepared colonial administrators for staging the Imperial drama.
