  • 20 Years of the VET Cluster
    20 Years of the VET Cluster In 1993 a Local Industry Education Network was established called the Ballarat Industry Education Network (BIEN) with a commitment to expand vocational education and training (VET) options of Ballarat young people. All Ballarat secondary schools recognised that many students would benefit from studying a VET course and that they may not have sufficient students to make up a complete class to offer a range of programs for their students internally. The BIEN had representatives of the education sector (Department of Education and Training, Catholic Education Office, the School of Mines Institute of TAFE, University of Ballarat and the Ballarat Community Education Office) and industry (Australian Chamber of Manufactures, Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Trades Hall Ballarat and Australian Timken Pty Ltd) as well as Central Highlands Group Training and the City of Ballarat. In late 1995 three separate applications for an incentive grant were sent to the Australian Student Traineeship Foundation (ASTF). Nine Ballarat schools (Daylesford joined later) and the Department of Further Education from the School of Mines Ballarat (SMB) formed a Cluster to progress the applications. The ASTF approved a grant and a Steering Committee for the Cluster met prior to the Easter break to formulate a plan of action with the aim to introduce student workplace learning programs to students entering VCE in 1997. Claire McKenna was appointed as the Project Officer to start negotiations as to what and how the programs would be implemented. Margaret Stewart, who wrote the funding application, spent many hours negotiating agreements to establish the Cluster.

  • December 2012 Leder
    Herlufsholm Skole · december 2012 Leder Med de tre nye undervisningslokaler til Fysikum, der er ved at blive bygget og som står færdige til indvielse her i foråret kommer Herlufsholm Skole til at stå meget stærkt med hensyn til sciencefag. Halvejsresultatet kan ses på forsiden af dette blad. Og der er dermed også taget hul på den sidste fase af den ret store udbygningsplan som vi tog de første skridt til i begyndelsen af dette århundrede med udarbejdelsen af en helhedsplan, opførelsen af den flotte Sportshal Trollehallen, omlægningen af skolens kloaker og ledninger, den nye kostafdeling; Bodilgården og på det miljømæssige område med etableringen af det store flis fyr (bkv-anlæg), som snart er fuldstændig klar til at blive indfaset. Vores store satsning med et nyt skolehus på Røde Plads har vi imidlertid måtte skrin- lægge (planerne blev åbenbaret i sidste nummer af Kontakt) pga. manglende ekstern finansiering. Men som med Danmarks nederlag i 1864, hvor et af bon mot’erne blev udtrykt af Enrico Dalgas, der på Det danske Hedeselskabs vegne udtrykte ”Hvad ud af tabes, skal indad vindes” er vi også begyndt at tænke sådan. Skolens ledelse har forelagt en ombygningsplan af Helenhallen til undervisningslokaler, indretning af læringscentre, studiemiljøer og ikke mindst et stort studietorv, en agora for eleverne. Helenhallen vil fortsat med den plan der foreligger (etablering af vinger) kunne anvendes til koncerter, teater og rum til fester og eksamen. Med en plan samles en meget stor del af gymnasiets undervisning omkring Agoraen, og hele denne konstruktion er væsentlig billigere både i opførelse og i drift end et nybyggeri.
