A public holiday had been proclaimed, and there was disappointment when, the ship having been duly launched, it was found that the dock gates through which she was to pass were too small to allow her exit.

  • Comprehensive Secondary Schools in Australia 137
    136 Education Researchand Perspectives, Vol. 34, No.1, 2007 Comprehensive SecondarySchools in Australia: a View trom Newcastle, New South Wales AlanBarcan Conjoint Fellow, School ofEducation, University ofNewcastle, NSW Abstract The two most significant events in government secondary schools in Australia between the end ifthe Second World War in 1945 and the cultural revolution ifthe late 1960s and early 1970s were the vast expansion in enrolments and the curricular changes entailed, in part, by these. Between 1953 and 1964four ifthe six states introduced comprehensive high schools. In the ten years after 1974 the other two states folloioed suit. In all states the internal structure if comprehensive schools also changed. The examination system, the curriculum, and the provision for higher ability students all came under public scrutiny. This epoch closed with the reforms if 1989-93. Thereafter, comprehensive schools existed in name but lost their dominance and changed their characteryet agazn. The following analysis focuses particularly on New South Wales. After discussing the concept ifcomprehensive secondary schools, it surveys the long­ established system ifsecondaryschooling to which the early comprehensive high schools offered an alternative. Theirprogress in the six states between 1953 and 1984, is then examined. The cultural transformation ifthe late 1960s and early 1970s is seen as reshaping the context and nature ifcomprehensive schooling. The final section examines in some detail the comprehensive system as it operated in Newcastle, New South Wales, from 1953 onwards and the conversion in the 1970s ifthe specialisedsecondaryschools in the inner city into comprehensives. The study closes with a general survey ifthe reforms ifthe late 1980s and early 1990s which relegated comprehensive high schools to a relatively minorposition in New South Wales secondaryeducation.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    Metamorphosis Chapter One Introduction What has been formed is immediately transformed again, and if we would succeed, to some degree, to a living view of Nature, we must attempt to remain as active and plastic as the example she sets for us. (Goethe 1952:24) I am sitting at my studio table and have a green view out on to the backyard of the recently mown grassy area that falls away to rainforest trees and eventually to the banks of Mullumbimby Creek. It is the time of Kambar, the season that the Bundjalung recognise as bringing heavy rain. I check on the bush turkey that has been turning over the leaves to adjust the incubation temperature of the eggs. According to Gary Opit’s Seasonal Synopsis (see Appendix 10) the chicks are due to hatch shortly. The pressure is on to complete my thesis. It too needs to hatch. It has been eight years since commencing its formulation. What I have been working with has emerged and evolved out of the journey of my own life, both professionally and personally and not unlike the restless and unceasing activity of the Goethe’s archetypal plant, it has continued to grow and change. This thesis is presented as a set of layered stories. The research question around which this thesis is constructed is about a place, Shearwater the Mullumbimby Steiner School. It is also my story, a story about a journey, a songline of learning and doing and how through the meeting and exchange with others, intersects with the songlines of their lives.
