  • Canberra College Students Qualifying for This Honour
    Principal’s Report - AUGUST 2015 I I welcome you all back to the business end of the year, particularly for our Year 12 students. I trust that all students returned rested and revitalised for the semester ahead. At our first week assembly I talked about the importance of feedback as it has two purposes; summative performance and also suggestions for improving performance. Last semester every student received a formal written summative report. This complements the feedback that students received throughout the term through the variety of learning and assessment activities as well as performance in the exams. Seeking and giving feedback also improves the performance of both teacher and student. Parent, teacher and student feedback along with performance data for the college collected over the past 4 years has now been analysed by an external panel as part of the review and validation process. The college validation report will be published before the end of term 3 and will contain a series of commendations and recommendations which will inform our planning for the next 4 years. I thank the students, staff and parents who contributed to the panels deliberations. In the next few weeks student, teachers and parents will be asked to complete the annual online school satisfaction survey. This is an important guide for us in our planning for whole college improvement. Please make the time complete this survey as we value your input and suggestions. Our staff and students continue to excel in a variety of areas. I acknowledge and congratulate; Jim Phillips who has won a promotion to Executive Teacher Science and PE at Lake Tuggeranong College.

  • Planning for Canberra's Night-Time Economies
    1 Disclaimer This research paper is not policy. It analyses recent data and trends with a view to inform and stimulate wider debate. ACTPLA takes no responsibility for any errors, or omissions, or for the correctness of the information in this paper. 2 1. Introduction Canberra’s social and economic life doesn’t end when the day finishes. This paper examines what can be understood as the ‘night-time economy’ (NTE). It builds on background research by the ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA) to inform planning for social infrastructure and the review of Territory Plan policies for commercial centres and zones. It considers how the ‘night-time economy’ can be defined, where it takes place in Canberra, the performance of live music and the ACT’s distinctive licensed club sector. 2. What is the ‘night-time economy’ – definition and background All cities, including Canberra, have NTEs, where people meet, play, consume and produce. The term encapsulates certain social and business activities and the period of ‘the night’. Various authors have written of the ‘rhythms’ of cities in terms of patterns of the use of buildings, streets, plazas and other public spaces at different points through the day and night-time (cf. Bianchini 1995). Often, ‘the night’ has been seen as sinister or associated with danger or immorality. However, others have emphasised that the night within cities is also widely experienced in positive terms as a time of socialisation and encounter (Lovatt and O’Connor 1995).

  • For the Standing Committee on Education, Training and Youth Affairs
    FOR THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, TRAINING AND YOUTH AFFAIRS ACT GOVERNMENT SUBMISSION TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, TRAINING AND YOUTH AFFAIRS INQUIRY INTO THE FITTERS’ WORKSHOP Presented by Ms Joy Burch, Minister for the Arts December 2011 1 ACT Government Submission Mrs Dunne, pursuant to notice, moved—That this Assembly: (4) refers to the Standing Committee on Education, Training and Youth Affairs for inquiry and report to the Assembly by March 2012: (5) the best use of the Fitters’ Workshop, taking into account the acoustic qualities, heritage value, its location, cost and community demand of the building; Acoustic Qualities To date there has been no acoustic testing undertaken in the Fitters’ Workshop building. artsACT are able to source specifications for acoustic standards to assist the Inquiry. The recently commissioned, and highly regarded, Larry Sitsky Recital Room at the Australian National University (ANU) School of Music will provide a useful standard for comparison. Heritage Values A Heritage Conservation Management Plan (CMP) was commissioned by the former Department of Land and Property Services (now Economic Development Directorate) from Duncan Marshall, Heritage Architect. This CMP has been accepted by the ACT Heritage Council. This CMP provides a framework and guidelines for consideration in preserving the building and any future building modifications. Location The Fitters’ Workshop is a significant building within the context of the Kingston Foreshore. This is clearly articulated within the Fitters’ Workshop CMP. The Land Development Agency (LDA) currently has jurisdiction over the greater area known as Section 49. This includes the proposed Kingston Arts Precinct encompassing the Canberra Glassworks, Fitters’ Workshop and the Former Transport Depot, as well as all of the undeveloped land bordered by Wentworth Avenue, Eastlake Parade, Giles Street and Lake Burley Griffin.
