Join Now: www.aate.org.au/membership/ Saturday September 14, Ogilvie High School, New Town 9.30- arrival and registration 9.50- welcome and introduction Alex Wharton 10.00- session 1 Alex Wharton (@whartonag) is Head of Middle School at Carinya Christian School, Gunnedah (north-west NSW). He has been an English Teacher and Head Teacher for a decade and serves the ETA NSW community as a presenter, writer, and Director. Alex presents and writes extensively in the areas of English Teaching, including resources for National Literacy and Numeracy Week. He is co-editing an AATE Publication on Dystopian Literature and is the 2019 Reading Australia Teaching Fellow. Daring Dystopias: a vision of the future? This workshop will explore ways in which teachers can provide safe and supportive environments through regular classroom practice. Literature and texts that present our students with confronting and mature themes should not necessarily be removed from our bookrooms, but rather need to be dealt with sensitively, recognising the myriad of contexts and nuances that can be used to enrich the literary lives of our students. 10.50- morning tea Dr Libby Robinson 11.10- session 2 Dr Robinson holds a PhD, with her thesis, Pedagogy of Being Present: An Inquiry into the Unconditional Communion of Listening. She has been a teacher in Tasmania for 26 years. Raised and educated in Tasmania, Dr Robinson is currently principal of Kingston High School and wishes she had more time for teaching. Narrative is Voice - Voice is Emancipation English teachers recognise the power of narrative as a tool for bringing back into voice those that have been oppressed into silence. Through our teaching we not only have the capacity to share with our students literature that resonates with the stories of others, we are able to help students find their own voices and stories. Claire Gluskie 12.00- session 3 Claire is currently an English teacher and the Instructional Literacy Coach at Clarence High School. Claire has taught in a range of high school classrooms in South Africa, London and Australia since 2000. She has a passion for inquiry-based pedagogy and the rich opportunities to enable this through the use of Literature Circles. An introduction to Literature Circles using Shaun Tan’s Tales from Outer Suburbia Described as a ‘game changer’ by experienced teachers I have worked with, this workshop will explore the purpose of Literature Circles and an overview of how they promote and develop students’ metacognitive strategies. In this session I will share the complete modelled unit of work with you and take you through the concept of Literature Circles and how you can implement this in your classroom. 12.50- lunch Emma Jenkins 1.20- session 4 Emma Jenkins is the current president of TATE and delegate to AATE National Council. Emma has written units for The Garret Podcast Series, Reading Australia and is currently co- authoring a publication about teaching microfiction. Emma’s other classroom passion is History and she thoroughly enjoys teaching Australian history and Europe at war. 1. Teaching Holocaust trauma texts without traumatising With texts such as Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and Night being popular class text list additions and Holocaust literature widely available for students to read, Holocaust texts provide a great starting point for encouraging students to reflect on human action and inaction, as well as the choices people were confronted with at the time. In this workshop, Emma will share her takeaways from her time studying at Yad Vashem regarding appropriate and sensitive ways to expose students to Holocaust texts including the ‘safely in, safely out’ model used and promoted by Holocaust educators for the safe, respectful, humanising and anchoring approach to teaching the Holocaust. 2.10- Q&A session and close .

    2017 yenMANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude PLATINUM SPONSORS MANSW thanks the following sponsors for their support of the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSORS OTHER SPONSORS Pre-Dinner Drinks President’s Reception Sponsor Presenter Gifts Welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude A very warm welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference: “Adjusting Your Altitude”. In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year.

  • Annual Report
    Christian Schools Sports Association Annual Report Executive Officers Report 26 years ago on the 28 September 1988 the Christian Schools Sports Association was formed and became an incorporated body. Many of our founding Principals have retired in the past few years leaving the responsibility of upholding & maintaining their vision to foster Christian thought and practice through sporting events within and between schools with you and me. Many outside the Associations may ask “Why have a Christian Sports Association?” The motto of Covenant Christian School is "All Knowledge through Christ". They state: …..The Christian believes that there are no neutral facts, that everything is related to God and has significance beyond this life. ... Christian education involves every subject of knowledge.. ... Christian education requires a Christian point of view for the whole curriculum; a God-centred program in every department ... A Christian School seeks to be Christian every hour of the school day. www.covenant.nsw.edu.au/why-christian-school.html As sports teachers and coaches we have a unique relationship with our students. We have the opportunity to share our faith with them and show them what it means to be a Christian both on and off the sporting field. By doing this we are not only proclaiming the Kingdom of God but bringing glory & honour to our Lord Jesus Christ. A former coach from Washington Redskins “Vince Lombardi” was famous for his statement: “Winning isn’t the most important thing: it is the only thing” Shortly before Vince Lombardi died he declared: “I wish I’d never said it.

    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”.

  • Annual Report
    Christian Schools Sports Association Annual Report Executive Officers Report As I start writing this report I am sitting at the CSSA Primary State Tennis GD watching the Yr 5/6 Boys finals. It is so encouraging to see the boys play with not only the determination to win but with a spirit of good sportsmanship, congratulating each other after a winning shot. The day began in prayer acknowledging God for all that He has done and thanking Him for the gifts and talents He has given us. It is such a privilege to be part of a school system where we can be open about our faith in God and speak to our students about their relationship with Jesus. I would like to share the following story from Lisa Mallard at Northern Beaches CS which shows how blessed we are to be part of the Christian Schools Sports Association: The day before we played our 1st game in the Primary State Cricket KO Competition one of our Yr 5 boys passed away from a brain tumour. He was part of our team and was amazingly passionate about his cricket. The boys in the team only found out the night before the game and had to leave early the next day before they could meet with school counselors & the rest of their class mates. There were lots of tears and the boys wore arm bands for their friend. Their coach & the boys prayed together before the game and there was a real sense of looking after each other - our opponents Pacific Hills CS were so supportive.
