It combines the classics and successful teaching texts with innovative recent works. It includes fiction as well as nonfiction, poetry, drama, film, media and multimedia texts. To reflect the rich diversity of the school population in NSW a range of complexity, themes and cultural orientations is reflected through the lists. This diversity is also evident in the broad scope of the suggested texts. I would like to acknowledge the support given to the development of Suggested texts for the English K–10 Syllabus by the educators from all teaching sectors who suggested texts, reviewed the list of texts and provided information about the texts to assist teachers in their use in implementing the new English K–10 Syllabus (2013). I commend Suggested texts for the English K–10 Syllabus to you as a lasting resource for English teachers, parents and students. Tom Alegounarias President Board of Studies Suggested texts for the English K–10 Syllabus v PART A SYLLABUS REQUIREMENTS PART A Background The texts listed here are suitable for Kindergarten to Year 10 but are not prescribed for study. Predecessors of this list are Works and Plays (Board of Studies 1992), English K–6 Recommended Children’s Texts (Board of Studies 1995) and Fiction, Film and Other Texts: a support document for English Years 7–10 Syllabus (Board of Studies 2003). The present recommended text list owes much to these documents and incorporates many of the texts that were part of Fiction, Film and Other Texts (2003) while providing a broader support document for the new English K–10 Syllabus (2013). Texts in this document are listed for Kindergarten to Year 10 in the following categories: • fiction • poetry • film • nonfiction • drama • media, multimedia and digital texts Text requirements for each stage are found in the Content section of the English K–10 Syllabus, under Content and Text Requirements. The document also refers to links to other lists and sites, including the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge winners of Australian and international book awards for children and young adults. To assist teachers, texts are mapped against the syllabus requirements. Purposes of the lists The study of a wide range of texts is central to the study of English. Students in each of the stages will read and view a wide range of texts for understanding, critical analysis, interpretation and pleasure that are appropriate to their needs, interests and abilities. These lists include texts that teachers can use to implement the new syllabus. The choice of texts In choosing the texts listed, the literary merit of the work and the needs, interests and abilities of readers have been balanced with the sensitivities of young and young adult readers. The texts on these lists were selected on the basis of their potential to engage the reader using a number of strategies such as interesting characters, unusual settings and plots, and humour. Some of the texts have layered and multiple meanings, some are provocative; all should help students gain pleasure and power from the exploration of real and imaginary (including virtual) worlds. The inclusion of a text is not a recommendation that it be used in every school setting and context. Schools play an active role is assessing texts to determine their suitability for their purposes and local circumstances. The syllabus advises that in selecting specific texts for study in English, teachers and schools should consider the needs, Suggested texts for the English K–10 Syllabus 2 interests and abilities of their students as well as the ethos of the school and its local community. Texts are identified as suitable for a particular stage; in many cases applicability to multiple stages has been indicated. The same text may be treated differently in each of the identified stages. Identified stages are only suggestions: a text suggested for Stage 3 may also be appropriate for study in a Stage 5 classroom. None of the lists is exhaustive and each should be regarded as representative of the range and variety of texts to be studied from Kindergarten to Stage 5. The lists are designed to represent not only a range of texts but also of teaching possibilities. The lists attempt to reflect the cultural diversity of contemporary Australia and to give access to translated literature. Classic texts There are specific historical and social circumstances that make any particular generation value a text as a classic, such as the works of Dr Seuss and the novels, The Wind in the Willows and To Kill a Mockingbird. Schools will want to, and are encouraged to, continue choosing classic texts for study in all years. Specific suggestions for classic texts are included in each section. Some texts on the suggested lists are already regarded as classics of their genre and many others may well become so. Everyday and workplace texts Students who are studying English in Stages 4 and 5 are required to have experience of everyday and workplace texts. Students in other stages may also want to study these texts. These are texts they will encounter in school, home, work and society and include: • spoken, written

The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier Parliament House SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Premier, Report – NSW Bushfire Inquiry In January 2020 you announced the establishment of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, noting it was to be completed by 31 July 2020. We now submit the final report of that Inquiry. The 2019-20 bush fires were some of the worst in the world and in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before. It makes 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to, bush fires. Some of these recommendations are for immediate action; others for actions that need to start now but will take some time to complete. Noting the breadth of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, the recommendations range from improvements to operational systems and processes through to significant research and strategic policy frameworks that require further development and consultation with key stakeholders. In presenting this final report we wish to acknowledge the assistance of many people – those who took the time to write submissions or talk to the Inquiry; the NSW fire agencies; colleagues from government departments in NSW and other jurisdictions; colleagues in industry, research organisations, and professional associations; and the Secretariat and Advisors to the Inquiry drawn from several government departments who worked hard to help us make sense of a complex matter.

Undoubtedly there has been a change not only in the writers but in public taste. Readership or audience that wants the home product and the local theme is one of the phenomena that connect the new drama, the new films, and much of the new poetry and the new short stories.

    Talking Books for Children – Ausgewählte Untersuchungen Zum Hörbuchangebot Für Kinder in Australien

    Talking books for children – Ausgewählte Untersuchungen zum Hörbuchangebot für Kinder in Australien Diplomarbeit im Fach Kinder- und Jugendmedien Studiengang Öffentliche Bibliotheken der Fachhochschule Stuttgart – Hochschule der Medien Daniela Kies Erstprüfer: Prof. Dr. Horst Heidtmann Zweitprüfer: Prof. Dr. Manfred Nagl Bearbeitungszeitraum: 15. Juli 2002 bis 15. Oktober 2002 Stuttgart, Oktober 2002 Kurzfassung 2 Kurzfassung Gegenstand der hier vorgestellten Arbeit ist das Hörbuchangebot für Kinder in Austra- lien. Seit Jahren haben Gesellschaften für Blinde Tonträger für die eigenen Bibliothe- ken produziert, um blinden oder sehbehinderten Menschen zu helfen. Hörmedien von kommerziellen Produzenten, in Australien ist ABC Enterprises der größte, sind in der Regel gekürzte Versionen von Büchern. Bolinda Audio arbeitet kommerziell, veröffent- licht aber nur ungekürzte Versionen. Louis Braille Audio und VoyalEyes sind Abteilun- gen von Organisationen für Blinde, die Tonträger auch an Bibliotheken verkaufen und sie sind auch im Handel erhältlich. Grundsätzlich gelten öffentliche Bibliotheken als Hauptzielgruppe und ihnen werden spezielle Dienstleistungen von den Verlagen selbst oder dem Bibliothekszulieferer angeboten. Die britische und amerikanische Konkurrenz ist im Kindertonträgerbereich besonders groß. Aus diesem Grund spezialisieren sich australische Hörbuchverlage auf die Produktion von Büchern australischer Autoren und/ oder über Australien. Bei Kindern sind die Autoren John Marsden, Paul Jennings und Andy Griffiths sehr beliebt. Stig Wemyss, ein ausgebildeter Schauspieler, hat zahl- reiche Bücher bei verschiedenen Verlagen erfolgreich gelesen. Musik bzw. Lieder wer- den auf Hörbüchern nur vereinzelt verwendet. Es gibt aber einige Gruppen, z.B. die Wiggles, und Entertainer, z.B. Don Spencer, die Lieder für Kinder schreiben und auf- nehmen. Da der Markt für Kindertonträger in Australien noch im Aufbau ist, lohnt es sich, die Entwicklungen weiter zu verfolgen.
