Our 2014 NSW SPC Annual Conference is on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri, known as the people of the mountains, rivers and plains or the people of the !Three Rivers. The lands of the Wiradjuri extends from the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, near Lithgow, and is bounded by the three rivers: Macquarie (Wambool), Lachlan (Kalari), and Murrumbidgee. The Wiradjuri people are the largest Aboriginal population in NSW. I welcome our colleagues to this important event, in particular our !colleagues attending for the first and last time. The NSW Secondary Principals’ Council Annual Conference is one of the peak events of the calendar year, embracing professional learning, SPC business, principal support and networking. It is vital that we maintain and enhance our collegial advocacy relationships in a time of extensive reforms and federal political impositions. Our SPC Annual General Meeting is significant, involving our membership in decisions of influence. Further, this is an occasion to honour the contributions of our colleagues through receipt of Life Membership, Distinguished Service Awards and the equally prestigious Bill Kennedy Award. Please consider participating fully in the event and all the opportunities !afforded you during the Conference. Further, may I implore you to support our Sponsors that support SPC and subsequently you. The sponsorship is significant; ensuring the cost of our conference is possible. Without their generosity this quality conference would be a financial imposition. Please visit the sponsors, !who, as we do, work hard in our chosen careers. Finally congratulations to our outstanding NSWSPC Conference Committee, including the extended committee – it is a highlight of our SPC calendar capturing well over 70% of our !membership. Congratulations to Ken Barwick, Chad Bliss, Margaret Carey, Sue Francisco, Charles Gauci, Janis Glasson, Don Harvey, Geoff Hastings, Sue Jones, David Lloyd, Margaret Mulcahy, Keith Peasley, Craig Petersen, Terry Tunkunas, Kathy Compton and Grahame Steigler- !Peters. Enjoy all on offer and I look forward to catching up. Thank You.

This year’s conference will challenge you to consider the tension between creative and !visionary leadership and the harsh reality of day to day management. In regional NSW, we see this metaphor reflected in the geographic features of our countryside. At times we immerse ourselves in the sheer beauty of an almost idyllic lifestyle, but all too quickly we can be almost overwhelmed by the elemental forces of fire, flood or, all too often, drought. Have you ever wondered who you’re meant to be ... Visionary or Technocratic bean counter? This year, you will hear advice about managing the everyday complexity of your daily realities whilst retaining the ability to remain courageous, face the big issues, and !keep your moral compass pointing north. Over the next few days we know that you will enjoy time to network with colleagues, meet our sponsors and take advantage of the opportunity to explore some of the !experiences on offer in one of our excellent regional centres. You will also enjoy the facilities at Charles Sturt University, who have very generously provided a tremendous and fitting venue for such a significant meeting of educational !leaders. I would like to thank the entire team of principals in our two networks who have found some way to contribute to this year’s event. I would particularly like to thank our local !presidents, Charles Gauci and Sue Francisco, for their leadership. Thanks also to our state president, Lila Mularczyk for her experience and guidance over !the last year. Finally, thank you for attending this year’s conference and taking the time to replenish your palette of inspirational ideas, to meet and support your colleagues and to gird yourself for the hard work that will always await you as one of the most significant !professionals in your community.

  • Lifestyle – a Better Choice of Living
    Lifestyle – a better choice of living The Central Coast offers a perfect mix of town and country life for those who make it their home. A superbly relaxed lifestyle in a magnificent, natural, pollution-free environment is available to all, with the benefits of city living never far away. Families are offered a safe, secure and caring environment with the opportunity to live life to the full. It is the reason so many people choose to live in the region. Areas of particular benefit are: • Residential property – the Central Coast offers the opportunity to acquire a quality residential property at values substantially lower than in the Sydney Metropolitan areas. • Shopping – the region is serviced by a large choice of retail shops with modern shopping centres offering goods and services that match any Sydney suburb. • Schooling – public and private schools provide a high standard of primary and secondary education. TAFE colleges, the Central Coast Community College and the University of Newcastle’s Central Coast Campus provide for tertiary learning. • Health – A healthy, pollution-free environment with hospital and medical facilities comparable with those in major cities. • Leisure – Central Coast residents have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of leisure activities, all within 15 to 20 minutes of home. • Sport – The Central Coast could well be described as “A Sporting Mecca”. The choice of sport for all age groups is almost limitless. • Entertainment – there is always something interesting to do and see, from bars and clubs to live music, movies and restaurants, to seeing a national football game at the Central Coast stadium.

  • NAPLAN Results Central Coast: How High Schools Ranked
    CENTRAL COAST EXPRESS ADVOCATE NAPLAN results Central Coast: How high schools ranked Richard Noone, Central Coast Express Advocate May 1, 2020 12:00am The 2019 NAPLAN test results are in. How did your school rank compared with all other Central Coast high schools? Central Coast Steiner School principal Rosemary Michalowski addressing students. The school ranked fourth in local secondary schools 2019 NAPLAN results. Private schools dominated the best performing Central Coast secondary schools, according to the latest NAPLAN data, with just the selective public Gosford High School in the top 10. Gosford High ranked first on the coast and 21st across NSW with the rest of the top 10 local schools being private or Christian schools. The surprise bolter was Central Coast Steiner School, which ranked fourth locally and 148th across NSW. Principal Rosemary Michalowski said the results were from literacy and numeracy learning programs they introduced in 2013 based on the Steiner method and other “best practice” education models. “I know it’s borne fruit,” she said. Central Coast Rudolf Steiner School student Arabella Zocher, deputy principal Tiffany Reynolds-Flannery, teacher Georgia Kingshott, Principal Rosemary Michalowski and Dobell Federal Labor MP Emma McBride pictured when the school was connected to the NBN. The small school has about 285 students with one class per year. Ms Michalowski said in primary years the teacher stayed with the same class as the students progressed from Years 1-6. “I think the main changes were, really in the early years, identifying students who needed support and employing highly trained teachers to give them extra attention,” she said.
