Glenorchy City is a culturally diverse, safe and vibrant place that encourages, supports and invites people to care for each other. The Glenorchy City Council actively endeavours to engage all of the community, not just a few, but in particular youth to guide community development and strategic planning. The City strives for a sustainable blend of multiculturism Glenorchy – Overall Winner Sustainable City and the arts and commercial development.

LITTER PREVENTION, WASTE MANAGEMENT and RESOURCE RECOVERY West Coast Council Over recent years Dover Beach has moved from a neglected and unattractive area to one that now enjoys excellent supporting facilities. The extensive work undertaken by the local coast care group and the Huon Valley Council has resulted in an area that attracts many community and particularly family activities. Works included construction of walking tracks and bridges with the installation of interpretive signage and extensive planting of native species that have stabilised the beachfront and secondary dune area. The playgrounds have been refurbished with modern equipment with an associated upgrade of the BBQ and toilet facilities making it a great place for families to hang out. All these works have been undertaken in a way that does not detract from the natural features of the coastline. These achievements are a credit to the local community and an excellent example of how local effort can result in a corresponding effort from the local authority. Dover Beach will represent Tasmania in the Dover – Overall Winner Clean Beach & Huon Valley winners Australian Clean Beaches Award in 2016. Rob Simmons, Lona Turvey, Guy Barnett MHA, Lisa Pohl, Ian Paul, Dick Geeves, Mathew Philpot Community Citizen of the Year Award Sue Smedley The inaugural Community Citizen of the Year award title replaces the John Danaghy award and seeks to recognize someone within the Tasmanian community who has shown extremely dedicated service to their community.

All of this is done with humility and quiet confidence and she has been a key driver of nominations for KAB awards for many years. Sue is a true authority on the local history of Stanley and Circular Head area and her knowledge has been the cornerstone of many historical research publications. Some of the projects Sue has been involved in includes; the wonderful Stanley Discovery Museum, the Stanley Primary School centenary celebrations and most recently the research and development of the new ANZAC Sue Smedley – KAB Community Citizen of the Year memorial in Stanley.

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. These schools may have existing trade training arrangements in place, for example through local agreements to access Trade Training Centres or by partnering with existing Registered Training Organisations.

  • A Description of Non-Government Distance Education in Australia
    A DESCRIPTION OF NON-GOVERNMENT DISTANCE EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA A Submission presented to the Minister for School Education, Early childhood and Youth August 2012 Dr Terry Harding BA DipEd DipCDP MEd PhD MACE MACEL Schools Department, Christian Education Ministries Abstract This study describes non-government distance education (NGDE) in Australia. It provides an overall picture of the elements of NGDE as practiced in various non-government schools in four Australian states. The study, the first of its kind in Australia, gives a brief historical background of distance education in Australia, providing a socio-cultural context for NGDE. It defines and describes NGDE, indicating its distinctives. The problematic issue of low Commonwealth recurrent funding of NGDE and its impact on NGDE, provides the setting and reason for the study. This issue is described in detail, in the light of government policy, social justice issues, educational equity and the current review of school funding in Australia. A mixed methods research approach delivered findings, which demonstrate NGDE to be a bona fide pedagogy, despite its under resourcing. The findings describe NGDE across Australia, in general terms including: a description of NGDE students, varieties of NGDE pedagogies, its teachers, administration and an array of educational outcomes. A discussion of the impact of the Commonwealth’s underfunding of NGDE leads to the conclusion that this educational inequity requires immediate short term and considered long term redress. Executive summary - Including the findings of the study ………………… ...... …………………6 A DESCRIPTION OF NON-GOVERNMENT DISTANCE EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA .. 14 1 Introduction to the report ......................................................................................................... 14 1.1 The purpose and target audience of the project ...............................................................
