  • Origins of Hockey in Sydney, and of Our Club a 2013 Perspective
    Origins of Hockey in Sydney, and of our Club A 2013 Perspective Sydney University Hockey Club is proud to be the oldest surviving hockey club in NSW and the oldest university hockey club in Australia. We started in 1906 and are the only club (surviving or otherwise) that was involved in creating the first men’s and women’s hockey competitions in NSW Brett Radcliffe, Rowan Johnston and Anne Simmons October 2103. V1.0 Origins of Hockey in Sydney, and of Our Club Research by Sydney University Hockey Club archivist Brett Radcliffe and others has significantly changed our knowledge of our own history, and has shed new light on the history of hockey in Sydney, in New South Wales and even in Australia. Sydney University Hockey Club is proud to be the oldest surviving hockey club in NSW, the oldest university hockey club in Australia and probably the third oldest surviving club in Australia. We started in or before 1906 and are the only club (surviving or otherwise) that was involved in creating the first men’s and women’s hockey competitions in NSW. There are records of Sydney University’s men’s team playing in 1906 and our women in 1907. Early in 1906 our men’s team was strong enough to beat the previously invincible Navy team, which suggests they may have played before. If we started as early as 1905, we’d be equal oldest, but a 1906 start means (we think) third oldest. We do not yet have proof a team was playing in 1905: even our own team of 1906 is hard to trace.

  • In Sport Summit 2019
    IN SPORT SUMMIT 2019 MELBOURNE, 6 – 8 AUGUST 2019 MERCURE MELBOURNE ALBERT PARK Practical strategies for equality, participation, leadership and growth FEATURING KEYNOTES AND CASE STUDIES FROM THESE INCREDIBLE SPEAKERS KATE JENKINS KATE PALMER CRAIG TILEY PATRICK DELANY SEX DISCRIMINATION CHIEF EXECUTIVE CHIEF EXECUTIVE CHIEF EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONER OFFICER OFFICER OFFICER AUSTRALIAN HUMAN SPORT AUSTRALIA TENNIS AUSTRALIA FOXTEL RIGHTS COMMISSION PAGE 2 MELBOURNE, 6 – 8 AUGUST 2019 WOMEN IN SPORT SUMMIT 2019 WHY ATTEND THE WOMEN IN SPORT SUMMIT 2019? Women deserve equal opportunity in sport, a better chance to participate and greater representation in audiences. To get there, Australian sporting organisations need to focus on how their leadership and culture, audience growth and commercialisation strategy, participation and game development, and high- performance programs can be improved to facilitate the growth that women’s sport in Australia needs. Engaging more women and girls in sport is not just about equality, it’s about the health of the sport industry as a whole. It’s simple: More women in sport means a bigger industry. Building on the success of the inaugural 2018 summit, Women in Sport Summit 2019 will give you clear strategies on how to realise gender equality in your organisation, grow your female audience, boost female participation, cultivate elite pathways for women, and commercialise your women’s game. Australia’s sport industry movers and shakers will show you how they are doing it and what challenges need to be overcome. Don’t let your women’s development strategy fall behind at this crucial stage in the growth of our sporting industry.

  • A Model of Australian Private Secondary School Fees
    Department of Economics Working Paper Series What is a high school worth?: A model of Australian private secondary school fees J. N. Lye and J. G. Hirschberg Sept 2012 Research Paper Number 1161 ISSN: 0819 2642 ISBN: 978 0 7340 4512 6 Department of Economics The University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3010 www.economics.unimelb.edu.au What is a high school worth?: A model of Australian private secondary school fees J. N. Lye and J. G. Hirschberg1 Abstract Over the last few decades there have been significant increases in student enrolments in Australian non-government schools. It has been suggested that this growth has been the outcome of government subsidies to non-government schools. Despite this significant funding school fees have also been increasing. In this paper we examine these changes for Victoria and look at a number of comparisons between government and non-government schools. In addition, rather than examining the determinants of school selection we examine the determinants of fees at non-government schools by estimating a hedonic price model. We conclude that the characteristics of the schools such as university entrance performance do have a positive impact on the fees. In addition, we determine that the socioeconomic status of the other students has a positive impact as well as the scale of the school as measured by the number of staff, the variety of the offerings and the age of the school all have a positive impact. 1 Department of Economics, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic, 3010. 1. Introduction In most of Australa parents have three options for their children’s secondary school: government, Catholic and independent.
