Evatt Competition THE UNITED NATIONS YOUTH Evatt Competition SOUTH AUSTRALIA SEPTEMBER 2013 Official Report overview Evatt SA is the state’s round of Australia’s largest schools diplomacy competition. Evatt places young Australians in the shoes of UN Security Council representatives, giving them a deeper understanding of global issues and training them in the skills they need for active citizenship. Students in Years 9-12 compete in Evatt in 76 teams of two. The competition takes the form STUDENTS of a mock session of the UN Security Council, where teams debate, amend, and SIGNED UP vote on a resolution prepared by our FROM facilitators from the perspective of one of the Security Council’s member nations. THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL 19 Evatt is a simulation of the UN Security Council, one SCHOOLS of the principal organs of the United Nations and the body charged with the maintenance of international Blackfriars Priory School Christian Brothers College peace and security. Cornerstone College Endeavour College Its powers, exercised through UN Security Council Glenunga International High School resolutions, include the establishment of Golden Grove High School peacekeeping operations, the imposition of Henley High School international sanctions, and the authorization of Immanuel College military action. Mitcham Girls High School Norwood Morialta High School Pedare Christian College The aim of a team in an Evatt competition is simple: Pembroke School achieve your nation’s goals through diplomacy. Prince Alfred College Teams must use all the tools of the Security Council Scotch College to mould the debate to advance their assigned Seymour College country’s interests: formal speeches, amendments, University Senior College parliamentary procedure, and, of course, lots of Unley High School back-room wheeling and dealing. Urrbrae Agricultural High School Westminster School Preliminary rounds 7 th – 9th September 2013 Fullarton Park Centre Supported by the City of Unley Over three days, 76 students participated in the Evatt SA Preliminary Rounds. Each team debated solutions to three of the world’s most pressing international issues: AFRICA Students debated a comprehensive solution to issues facing the African continent, including health, education and infrastructure. Condemning the human rights abuses, genocide, war crimes, high-level corruption, civil wars and high debt levels common across Africa, the Councils debated the possibility of a more centralised approach to combating these issues. PEOPLE SMUGGLING Debate centred around the formulation of an efficient and effective method of processing asylum seekers involving, where possible, the identification and tracking of people smugglers. CRISIS: NORTH KOREA Teams were faced with a hypothetical crisis: an attack on US soil by North Korean militants. How can international peace and security be maintained in the face of terrorism? How can the Western world ensure this confrontation doesn’t escalate into all-out warfare? Students grappled with these questions and more in what was a highlight of the Evatt Competition. Grand Final 18th September 2013 Adelaide City Council Chambers Supported by the Adelaide City Council The most outstanding fifteen teams from the Preliminary Rounds were invited to compete in the Evatt SA Grand Final, which saw teams debate some of the most challenging issues facing the international community, including: DISASTER RELIEF This resolution saw students grapple with the question of how the international community can most effectively and efficiently respond to natural disasters. How can we ensure we are prepared for such emergencies? How can we best protect citizens displaced by disaster? What is the role of international bodies such as the UN in these situations? SOVEREIGNTY By what process do we recognise a state’s sovereign rights, and are there any circumstances – such as state-sponsored mass atrocity crime – in which these rights can be taken away? Students explored the definition and nature of sovereignty, a concept that has yielded significant debate in the modern age of the nation-state. Where to from here? After four days of gruelling, insightful and passionate debate over the world’s deepest crises, UN Youth SA is pleased to announce the three winning teams of Evatt SA 2013: • 1st place: Henry Blacketer and Hannah Short (Scotch College) • 2nd place: Britt Mashado and Alex Lowe (Seymour College) • 3rd place: Tim Hobbs and Andy Nguyen (Prince Alfred College) These three teams have been selected to attend the prestigious week-long Evatt National Finals, to be held in Perth in early December, where they will represent their schools and South Australia against some of the country’s finest student debaters. Themed around ‘The Asian Century’, the students will debate and discuss the profound implications of the Asia-Pacific region’s growing global importance, all while hearing from world-class keynote speakers and engaging with the future leaders of Australia. We wish them the very best of luck! Our supporters We wish to thank our generous sponsors who made the South Australian rounds of the Evatt Competition possible. As a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers under the age of 25, we deeply appreciate the support of the South Australian community in the provision of debate venues. .

  • Member School Directory Member School Directory
    Member School Directory JJJanuaryJanuary 2008 Member School Directory Introduction The Association of Independent Schools of South Australia (AISSA) represents the interests of Independent (non-Catholic) schools in South Australia. Our membership consists of 95 schools, plus seven campuses linked to a registered school. We believe passionately in Independent schooling and the right of parents to exercise choice in the selection of a school for their children. Independent schools acknowledge the importance of: > Excellence and high education standards > Social, physical, spiritual and emotional development of each student > Strong links with the broader community (local, national and international) > Provision of safe, positive and orderly learning environments > Comprehensive programs of pastoral care > Development of social responsibility and citizenship. All Independent schools are registered by the Non-Government Schools Registration Board and are required to employ registered teachers. Each school is subject to legislation and regulations such as child protection, OHS&W, anti-discrimination, building regulations, government funding compliance requirements, and industrial relations. Most schools are affiliated with a particular religion; others are secular. Several schools base their curriculum on a particular educational philosophy (e.g. Montessori, Waldorf Steiner). Ten schools have boarding facilities. The option of either single sex or co-education is available. Many schools also provide pre-school and out-of school hours care services. The source of funding for Independent schools includes the Commonwealth and State governments and parents. The level of Government funding per student varies across each Independent school. Some capital works funding is provided by the Commonwealth Government; this complements the significant funds provided by parents and others in the school community.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Sports Association for Adelaide Schools
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Sports Association for Adelaide Schools PO Box 279 Glenelg SA 5045 REPORT GENERAL MANAGER In general taking the role of General Manager of SAAS has been a very challenging one. As an organisation there has been little change or improvement over the last 20 years as the organisation has operated on a subsistence level with resourcing at a bare minimum. This has accordingly created a great deal of antiquation which will take a great deal of effort and resourcing to update many of the processes that are literally decades behind. The process has also focused on providing full flexibility to school needs with not much concern given to the overall competitions hence there has been little consistency and accordingly features that are part of most sporting competitions, such as Premiership Tables and Finals, have hardly featured in the SAAS competitions whatsoever. With a completion of a strategic plan SAAS in the near future there needs to ba a focus on better resourcing itself as an organisation and enhancement its processes and structures to create more consistent and meaningful competitions that will better service its member schools in the future. SAAS is an important organisation with a very healthy position in regards to participation and delivering good sporting opportunities to its member schools. Its programs are enormous with significant diversity and its member schools provide high quality venues and coaching which all members should be very proud. A great deal of credit must go to the staff in the schools that coordiante these programs. Matt Miles General Manager The following sporting competitions were conducted in 2017 2017 SPORTING COMPETITIONS 2017 SPORTING AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL The Australian Rules Football competition was conducted in Term 2 and 3 with 142 teams competing in 18 divisions.
