Record for 2003 NOVEMBER 15, 2003 RECORD In this issue Foundation helps secure Avondale’s future Attendees run into evangelistic series A rare prayer French Polynesian young people recently met on the island of Tahiti for a youth camp during which they explored the issues of life and spirituality together. Youth impacted in Tahiti Tahiti, French Polynesia bout 160 youth and leaders met recently in Tahiti for a one-week impact series focusing on Ayouth issues. The series was led by Pastor Clive Tefaatau, director of youth ministries for the French Polynesia Mission (FPM), and Manolita Ly, director of Family Ministries for FPM. The week began with testimonies and a baptism of youth from the previous year’s campaign. A four-day camp in the Papara Valley followed with guest speakers Jack Ryan, principal of the Auckland SDA High School, and Pastor Eddie Tupai, director of Youth Ministries for the New Zealand Pacific Union Conference. “The call for commitment midway through the camp saw virtually all the youth come to the altar,” reports Pastor Tefaatau. “A time of prayer, singing, confessing, testifying and Bible study over the next two days helped prepare youth for life after the high of camp.” During the day, discussion groups were conducted under family ministries supervision. Topics Cultures included: films and video games; music; sex; and sports. “The big question,” adds Pastor Tefaatau, “was where to place our limits or boundaries in these areas.” There were activities in the afternoon and, in the evenings, Pastor Tupai and Mr Ryan celebrated discussed the issues from biblical and practical perspectives. “The power of the Holy Spirit moved our youth to commit or recommit their lives to Jesus, and on our youth leaders to minister to these young people,” says Pastor Tefaatau.—Bruce at Avondale Manners ISSN 0819-5633 EDITORIAL A matter of allegiance hen I decided for Christ and baptism, I it’s a human organisation.

    INTRODUCTION This curriculum framework is a brief statement that provides the foundational worldview from which an Adventist teacher delivers the Australian National Curriculum. It is a concise statement of principles, values and threads that undergird and guide what we consider to be real, true and good. This worldview is shaped and permeated with our belief that Jesus is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” John 14:6. We also believe strongly that each teacher must teach from within their own authentic Christian journey and that their experiential relationship with Jesus will permeate all they say and do. This framework endorses the notion that rather than being Christians who happen to teach, we are wanting to teach Christianly. We wish to reveal a God who loves unconditionally. “To think Christianly is to accept all things with the mind as related, directly or indirectly, to man’s eternal destiny as the redeemed and chosen child of God.” Harry Blamires, The Christian Mind: How Should a Christian Think? , p. 44 Teaching is more than imparting information. Effective Christian teaching is transformational. It will take Romans 12:1-2 as its focus and try to nurture a discipleship response to God’s love in the lives of our students. This provides the basis for the term “threads” used in the Values and Response Threads section. Threads are simply the qualities or characteristics we desire as responses from our students. They help provide cohesion and linkage to everyday living. These Response Threads, like Values, will often overlap in various subject areas, and provide a discipleship response to God’s love.

    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”.

Could we have a list of such schools or school regions that are currently unserved in terms of trade training options? Mr Cook: I am happy to take it on notice. Senator O'NEILL: If possible, by electorate, just a geoshot. Mr Cook: When you say 'unserved' do you mean no children at a school are accessing a centre? Senator O'NEILL: Yes. Where there are schools that are not able to access either directly in the school or in a site created by a cluster of schools seeking the funding. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice. Answer Attachment A lists the schools eligible to apply for funding under Round Five (Phase One) of the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program that had not been approved for funding as at 17 December 2013.

  • Non-Government Reform Support Workplan: 2021
    Non-Government Reform Support Workplan: 2021 Non-government Reform Support Fund Independent Schools Queensland - Work Plan 2021 Summary of Work Plan for 2021 Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) will undertake the following projects utilising the Non- government Reform Support Fund (NGRSF) in 2021. Project Project Title Reference RSF 1 Readiness for NAPLAN Online and Utilising Educational Data for School Improvement RSF 2 Improving the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability RSF 3 Increasing School Capability in Governance and Financial Management RSF 4 Empowering School Improvement RSF 5 Supporting the Implementation of the ATSI Educational Strategy RSF 6 Achieving Excellence in Curriculum and Assessment RSF 7 Support Leading, Teaching and Learning in Independent Schools RSF 8 Excellence in Online Learning for School Staff Each of these projects involves multiple objectives in line with Australian Government and National School Reform Agreement (NSRA) priorities. They involve services, support and activities for independent schools which are over and above those services provided by ISQ as part of its normal service provision for member schools. They will be provided to Queensland independent schools irrespective of membership of ISQ. The NGRSF will ensure the projects are available to more staff in more schools and in more locations. Without the NGRSF, the support provided by ISQ to independent schools to implement national and related state policy initiatives would be limited in scope and reach. Where appropriate and possible, ISQ will leverage funding from other sources to supplement the NGRSF. This includes Queensland Government targeted programs and funding from ISQ’s own sources. A total of $6,890,407 will be invested in the projects for 2021.
