Laptops on
the way
By VICTORIA NIKULIN
Computer company Lenovo has
won a $150-million contract to
build laptops for 200,000 senior
secondary school students and
25,000 high school teachers.
Premier Nathan Rees said
production of the laptops would
start immediately, with secondary
teachers beginning to receive their
computers this term. The rollout
of laptops to Year 9 students would
start next term.
“Students and teachers will be
using the same technology and
we’re giving our teachers a head
start to familiarise themselves
with the technology before it hits
the classroom,” he said.
Mr
Rees
said
software
agreements had also been signed
with Microsoft and Adobe. The
agreements ensured that the
Microsoft Office Professional suite
of programs would be available
on all new laptops and Adobe
software available on laptops and
all NSW government school and
TAFE institute computers.
The announcement came after
a tender process that began when
the Federal Government last year
boosted funding for the rollout of
laptops and installation of wireless
networks in schools.
Mr Rees said the Federal
Government
had
committed
to providing laptops for senior
secondary students in NSW public
schools.
“In May we will begin
wirelessly connecting high schools
and recruiting more than 400 fulltime technical support officers
to assist staff and students in
secondary schools across the state
with IT issues,” he said.
A new advisory group is also
developing teacher resources and
professional learning programs to
support the Laptops for Learning
Program.
The Professional Learning and
Curriculum Support Advisory
Group, headed by program leader
Barbara Bober, is a joint venture
between the professional learning
and leadership development and
curriculum directorates and the
Centre for Learning Innovation.
Ms Bober said: “This is a
collaboration to support teachers
and leaders in their learning

Action on child protection
By KIM COTTON
Support mechanisms to improve
school staff and communities’
response to child protection
concerns are being established by
the education department.
The new measures, which will
come into effect next year, include
a Child Wellbeing Unit within the
department, extra home-school
liaison officers and a specialist
team to assist schools to improve
educational outcomes for children
placed in out-of-home care.
The initiatives are part of the
State Government’s action plan
Keep Them Safe: A Shared Approach
to Child Wellbeing, developed
as a response to the Special
Commission of Inquiry into Child
Protection Services in NSW.
It recommended that responsibility for child protection be
broadened beyond the Department
of Community Services (DOCS)
to other government agencies
including the education and
health departments as well as nongovernment organisations.
NSW Minister for Education
and Training Verity Firth, who
announced the initiatives last
term, said principals and teachers
would have access to expert advice
on how to handle child protection
concerns.
Ms Firth said the department
would establish new links with
welfare and health agencies to
enable earlier referrals where
needed.
“It is clear from the commission’s report that the wellbeing
and welfare of children and young
people is the responsibility of all
government agencies, as well as the
community,” Ms Firth said.
“Our teachers and principals
are often among the first to see
the impact on children and
young people when families
are struggling to cope or when
students may be at risk.
“The education department
will play its role in identifying
children and young people that
need support earlier and linking
families with services to help them
back on track before the situation
reaches a point of crisis.”
The
department’s
deputy
director-general (schools), Trevor
Fletcher,
said
the
State
Government’s
action
plan
complemented the office of
school’s plan 2009-2011 to
improve educational outcomes for
every student.
He said under the changes
departmental staff would only
report to the DOCS helpline if
there was a risk of significant harm.
This was in response to the
findings by inquiry commissioner
former judge James Wood, that
many children and young people
were being reported unnecessarily.
Mr Fletcher said principals
would be able to report matters
of concern or get advice about
reports from the new Child
Wellbeing Unit.
The unit would also refer
families to support services.
“The
intention
is
that
assistance will be provided early on
in the development of problems,
not when families reach breaking
point,” Mr Fletcher said.
He said the department would
employ an extra 25 home-school
liaison officers (HSLOs), who
would focus on habitual non-
attendance as a form of neglect.
The reporting of students
who do not attend school would
be enhanced at the school level
so HSLOs could intervene earlier
to support families and ensure
students regularly attended school.
A dedicated team would also
work with students in out-of-home
care and various welfare agencies
to ensure continuity of support to
improve learning outcomes.
Students in out-of-home care
would have learning plans prepared
by the school. The department
and the DOCS’ caseworker would
review the plans annually.
“The new approach to child
protection means support to
students who may be at risk can
be provided earlier. This will assist
us in our mission to bridge the
performance gap for students in
our schools,” Mr Fletcher said.

they can be competitive in the
marketplace,” she said.
As well as learning Bahasa
Indonesian words and reading
the epic Hindu poem the
Ramayana, the students learned
the craft of batik and the cadence
of the archipelago’s music. The
students’ batik pieces will be
turned into kites and exhibited
at the new Port Macquarie
Regional Gallery in August.
The three artists led
workshops in the 10 schools, with
all the students coming together
at Byabarra Public on March
20 for an exhibition of grass
puppets at Byabarra’s Blue Poles
Gallery.
Each workshop started with
a shadow puppet show where
Jumaadi told his childhood tales.
A Year 4 student, Jade, said:
“Making grass puppets is really
fun … I make up stories in my
head when I make the puppets
dance and move.”
Mrs Ford, the organiser
of “Indonesia in the Bush”,
said it was part of the Federal
Government’s Leading 21st
Century Schools: Engage with
Asia program. Her school of
20 students is involved in the
program.
The artist-in-residence
program was funded by the
Sidney Myer Foundation, the
NSW Department of Education
and Training, the Asia Education
Teachers’ Association and Port
Macquarie-Hastings Council.
The schools involved were:
Beechwood, Byabarra, Comboyne,
Huntingdon, Long Flat, Rollands
Plains Upper and Wauchope
public schools and Wauchope
High School (from the Bago
Community of Schools), as well
Telegraph Point and Herons Creek
public schools.

Indonesian puppet-maker Jumaadi
was once a buffalo boy in east
Java, responsible at the age of six
for feeding and herding 300 ducks.
Now a renowned artist based
in Sydney, Jumaadi brought a
little bit of his childhood to more
than 300 mid-north coast children
for the “Indonesia in the Bush”
program.
Nine primary schools and
one high school took part in the
program, which culminated in 300
grass puppets (wayang rumput)
being made from the Australian
native plant, Lomandra.
Accompanying Jumaadi for
the artist-in-residence project was

Jobs flow in spending spree
By LINDA DOHERTY
The Federal Government has
given the green light to $178
million worth of vital work in
1,334 NSW public schools, starting
immediately.
The funds have been released
as the first round of the Federal
Government’s National School
Pride program aimed at kickstarting the sluggish economy.
NSW Minister for Education
and
Training
Verity
Firth
announced last month that
the funding would be used for
upgrades such as new carpets, classroom refurbishments, painting
and playground revamps, creating
1,000 NSW jobs in the process.
“We want to create and
protect local jobs as part of this
stimulus spending,” Ms Firth
said. “Works being funded under
the federal National School Pride
program might not be particularly
glamorous, but they are important
to the everyday life of NSW
schools.”
The National School Pride
program is just one feature of a
massive federal injection of funds
into Australian schools to stimulate
and maintain employment.
Public schools have responded
with speed to nominate capital
works projects to be funded as part
of the Federal Government’s $14.7
billion package called Building the
Education Revolution (BER).
In a three-week period from
late February, 2,186 NSW public
schools nominated 12,751 building
or maintenance projects ranging
from new halls, libraries and
classrooms to replacing bubblers.
Priority in the first round of
capital works funding would go
to primary schools with more
than 150 students without a hall
or with libraries in demountable
buildings, Ms Firth said.
The director-general, Michael
Coutts-Trotter, said principals had
worked hard to get nominations
in for the federal funding.
“To meet the strict time
deadlines set by the Australian
Government work will commence
soon and schools, principals
and builders will need to work
together to make sure the works
are started and finished within
the
Australian
Government’s
timeframes,” he said. “Planners
are currently identifying works
that can be started immediately,
and then once we have the ball
rolling, more detailed planning
will start on school projects that
are a little more complicated.”
Angus Dawson, formerly chief
executive officer of the Growth
Centres Commission, has been
appointed as the department’s
integrated project office director
to coordinate the BER program.
In his previous role, Mr Dawson
oversaw the rezoning of land for
181,000 homes and $7.5 billion in
infrastructure projects for 500,000
new residents in Sydney’s northwest and south-west population
corridors.

An established school vineyard
might not have been the main
selling point for new Broke Public
School principal Simon Mulready
but it was “a point of interest”.
Mr Mulready joined the small
Hunter Valley school community
last term for the annual grape
harvest, which has become a
tradition at the school since the
vineyard was planted in 2001.
About 30 parents,
grandparents and volunteers
joined teachers and the school’s 45
students to handpick about half a
tonne of Chambourcin grapes.
The grapes are purchased
by local winemakers and in the
past have been used by Margan
Family Winegrowers to produce
the school’s red wine, Big Class
Chambourcin.
Mr Mulready said the school’s
viticulture program strengthened
links between the school and
wider community.
“Being in the Hunter Valley
a lot of the community are
involved in the winemaking
process,” he said. “We are able
to access the readily available
resources and expertise.”
As part of the program, the
collected grapes are transported to
the winemakers for processing.
Students visit the winery
for a supervised excursion on
winemaking and wine storage.
The school’s “big class” – Years 3
to 6 – study marketing and design
the bottle label while the school
administrative and support staff
process sales through an order
form available on the school
website.
The wineries store and
distribute the wine and pass the
sales back to the school.
Mr Mulready said wine and
grape sales result in about $5,000
extra funding for the school each
year, which is used to employ
additional learning support staff
and “supports the achievement of
strong learning outcomes”.
The Margan-winery produced
Big Class Chambourcin is proving
popular with the 2004 and 2005
vintages sold out. About 113
dozen bottles of the 2006 and
70 dozen of the 2007 vintages
remain.
Andrew Margan, who was
involved in the local winegrowers
association’s donation of money
and resources in establishing
the school’s vineyards, described
the wine as “lovely to drink – a
medium-bodied Hunter dry red”.
Mr Margan, whose children
attended Broke Public, said the
viticulture program gave students
“an understanding of a vital
industry for the area”.
“It’s a great opportunity to
raise funds for the school too,”
he said.

The education department is
holding its second Connected
Learning Conference to showcase
best practice in the use of
collaborative
technologies
to
enhance teaching and learning.
Relieving leader of strategic
initiatives Michael Costello said
the conference “Transforming
Learning and Teaching” aligned
with the priority area of connected
learning, which was highlighted
in the Office of Schools Plan 20092011.
“We’re focusing less on the tools
and more on the outcomes,” Mr
Costello said. “What is important
now for teachers is knowing how
to use the technology effectively
to improve and enhance teaching
and learning outcomes.”
Keynote speakers include Trudy
Sweeney, a lecturer in digital media
at Flinders University, who will
focus on the transition involved
in using interactive whiteboards
in the classroom. Mark Treadwell,
a New Zealand-based technology
education expert, will discuss the
shift teachers have to make as a
result of globalisation.
Workshops are expected to
showcase how public schools
are
using
technology
and
explore questions and issues
related to the integration of
collaborative
technologies
in
the classroom. Delegates will
be given demonstrations and
opportunities to test technology
systems and tools including
interactive whiteboards, e-learning
communities, videoconferencing,
web-streaming and mixed mode
delivery.
The conference will be held at the
Novotel, Brighton Beach, Sydney, on

Northern Sydney wins over parents
By BEN WYLD
The popularity of Northern
Sydney region schools has reached
a seven-year high, 2008 enrolment
share data reveals.
For the third consecutive year
Northern Sydney region increased
its enrolment share and last year
catered for almost 60 per cent of
students in the area.
Government schools attracted
58 per cent of the region’s students
in 2008 – the highest enrolment
share since 2001.
The trend data was drawn
from the National Schools Statistic
Collection figures, released last
term in the Australian Bureau of
Statistics’ (ABS) Schools Australia
2008 report.
Northern
Sydney
region
director Jane Simmons said
enrolments had increased in all
years from Kindergarten to Year 12.
She said this was because local
communities had recognised the
outstanding student achievement
and focus on quality teaching and
learning in the region’s public
schools.
More than 82,900 students
were enrolled in Northern Sydney
region public schools last year – an
increase of about 1,300 students
from 2007.
Mrs Simmons said there was
a “strong correlation” between
the formation of communities of
schools and increased enrolments,
such as the Peninsula Community
of Schools on the northern
beaches and the Harbourside
Schools Network.
“Where schools have a strong
alliance,
share
professional
learning and resources and work
collaboratively … that has a
big impact on the profile the
schools have within the local
community,” she said. “The
outstanding leadership in the
region’s schools has also increased
student enrolment.”
Mrs Simmons said a threeyear regional marketing and
promotions program had equipped
schools and principals with
strategies to communicate their
achievements more effectively
with local communities.
“Principals do report [the
program] is having a big impact
not only on how they communicate but how the communities
think, more positively, about their
schools,” she said.
Enrolment share trend data for
NSW shows a stabilisation in the
drift of students from government
to non-government schools at
0.2 per cent. More than 734,600
students – about two-thirds of
NSW students – attended public
schools last year.
South Western Sydney and
Western NSW regions recorded
modest growth in secondary
enrolment share.
Illawarra and South East, New
England, Riverina and Western
Sydney regions made small gains
in primary enrolment share.
The
department’s
deputy
director-general (schools), Trevor
Fletcher, said the trend data predated the economic downturn
and reflected the “authentic
improvement
in
terms
of
programs and outcomes, the
quality teaching in NSW public
schools and strong growth of
learning communities”.
The ABS report revealed the
numbers of Indigenous students
enrolled in Year 12 throughout
Australia continued to rise.
There were 866 Year 12
Indigenous students enrolled in
NSW public schools last year, an
increase on the 2007 figure.

A NSW public high school in
direct competition with ACT
schools used lateral thinking to
keep its senior students.
Queanbeyan High School, one
of only two high schools in the
Queanbeyan area that borders the
ACT, has increased the number of
students enrolled in the HSC with
its college program.
The program increases the
range of subjects offered from 22
to 35 and overhauls the way the
HSC is approached.
“We developed the college
program by looking at the way
students study for the HSC rather
than ways in which the system
could be adapted to expand
options,” said Queanbeyan High
principal John Clark.
“The result is a simple winwin solution that has benefited
students, teachers and the school.”
Year 11 students study the
preliminary and HSC components
in three subjects and are allocated
twice the time – they sit for the
HSC exams in these three subjects
at the end of Year 11.
Students then study another
three subjects in a similar manner
in Year 12. Classes may have both
Year 11 and 12 students studying
the same content.
“The savings here mean
additional courses could be offered
to broaden the curriculum range
and this also pleases teachers,
whose courses may not have run
in the past,” Mr Clark said.
“The new model ensures that
students are only preparing for
three HSC exams in each of the
two years of study. Another major
advantage for the school was that
courses only run for 12 months.”
A transition program between
the traditional HSC delivery and
the college program ran in 2008,
which involved nine HSC subjects
common to both Years 11 and 12.
HSC results showed Year 11
students came first in six of these
subjects at the school and achieved
on average six extra marks per
subject than the Year 12 students.
Mr Clark said a greater
percentage of students had stayed
on for Year 12 in 2009 and fewer
students dropped out during 2008.
“Given the improved learning
climate and the higher HSC results
we obtained, I believe Year 11
students can gain an advantage
in this method of studying the
HSC,” he said. “If we give them a
task within their grasp, give them
the confidence and support that
they need, then they will rise to
the increased expectations and
standards – which our students
did with aplomb.”

Good sports get physical
By BEN WYLD
Not so long ago Renee Gloss was
a NSW public school student.
But now the 20-year old NSW
softball representative is getting
a taste of life leading a class as a
2009 Premier’s Sporting Challenge
(PSC) ambassador.
The experience is proving
invaluable for Miss Gloss, who
is studying to become a PDHPE
teacher.
“I’m not normally a person
who likes standing up the front
talking to everyone so it’s helping
develop my public speaking and
also my understanding of students
and ability to connect with them
at their level,” she said.
Miss Gloss is one of a bunch of
high-achieving athletes scheduled
to visit schools throughout the
state and promote the benefits of
a healthy active lifestyle as part of
the PSC, which started this month.
The challenge, which ends
October 2, is a State Government
initiative to combat childhood
obesity by encouraging students to
participate in moderate to vigorous
physical activity every day.
The event includes primary and
secondary divisions and students
who reach predetermined exercise
levels will receive Premier’s
awards, with the “gold award” of
60 minutes of physical activity a
day – the recommended national
guideline – the program’s target.

expected more than 90,000
students from 600 schools to
participate in the challenge. More
than 70,000 students from 400
schools participated in last year’s
inaugural PSC.
Mr Morrison said the challenge
aimed to “increase the physical
activity level of all students” who
would also benefit from sports
equipment grants to schools,
for 2009, totalling $12.5 million
dollars.
All NSW public schools have
received an equipment grant,
ranging from $740 to $9,127, to
provide increased opportunities
for students to participate in
physical activity.
Mr
Morrison
said
the
involvement of ambassadors –
including high-profile athletes like
Brett Lee (cricket), Susan Pratley
(netball) and Craig Wing (rugby
league) – was vital to the PSC’s
aim of encouraging students to be
more active.
Miss Gloss, who visited
Claymore Public School last term,
said she tried to impress upon
students the fun they could have
from leading a healthy life.
“The challenge is about
encouraging kids to get involved in
sport at school and outside school,”
she said. “It’s also about getting
them to lead a healthy lifestyle.”
During
the
Claymore
Public School visit PSC partner
Sydney Markets Limited supplied
fruit to encourage students to eat
healthy foods.
The challenge requires students
to maintain log books of time spent
participating in sport or physical
activity. Primary school classes
and secondary schools form teams
of five to 12 students who must
complete a minimum of 10 weeks,
out of the program’s 20-week
timeframe, and can include time
spent playing sport or being active
at school, home or on weekends.
Students who average 30
minutes physical activity a day
are eligible for a Premier’s bronze
award, while those who average 45
minutes qualify for silver. Students
who rack up 80 minutes each day
will earn a diamond award.
One school looking to repeat
its 2008 diamond award success is
Manilla Central School.
Principal Janette Meehan said
the 370 students at her school
were generally active.
“Being a small country town
sport is one of the few things
available to children in Manilla,”
Ms Meehan said. “While they play
a lot of their sport in Tamworth
the community endeavours to
make as much sport available to
the kids within the town.”
Ms Meehan said this year the
school planned to include nontraditional sports such as Pilates
and Tai-Bo in the school’s sports
program and would explore walk
to school initiatives to boost
students’ “incidental physical
activity” levels.

The best thing parents can

Minister for Education and

Ms Firth encouraged
parents to read to their
children during a visit to

International Children’s

“Studies have shown,
the more parents read
with their kids, the more
they get out of the school
years ahead of them,” Ms
Firth said. “Without strong
literacy skills, students are
more likely to struggle at
school and in life.
“As parents, we must do all
we can to give our children the
best possible start – this means
equipping kids with good literacy
foundations.”

have never met.
They would probably still be

But theirs are not normal
circumstance. All these students
are united by a common thread
– escape. They are victims of
political unrest and have escaped
the turmoil in their homelands
to join the ranks of those who are
now refugees.
At Bankstown Girls High
School these students have
overcome their traumatic
backgrounds to become
valuable members of the school
community.
These successes drew the UN
high commissioner for refugees,
Antonio Guterres, to visit the
school last term.
Bankstown Girls High was
the only school Mr Guterres
visited during his Sydney trip
and he met a group of Year 12
refugee students.
Mr Guterres was interested in
the issues the girls encountered as
refugees and how they were able
to overcome these problems.
All students agreed that the
support they received at school
was instrumental in giving them
a sense of belonging.
Mr Guterres said: “Bankstown
Girls High has been very
successful in integrating its
refugee students into the school
curriculum. What I want to know
is how has this been done so I can
take some ideas with me to other
schools in other countries which
have not been so successful.”

At an age when most people start
to take things easy, 73-year-old
Aunty Shirley Davison continues
to be a powerhouse within the
Walcha community.
She volunteers for Meals on
Wheels and the St Vincent de Paul
Society.
On top of that, for more
than 32 years, she has worked
with Walcha Central School to
integrate Aboriginal activities into
the curriculum and encourage
parents, grandparents and carers
to be involved in their children’s
education.
“Having partnerships at school
means that the young Aboriginal
people learn how to appreciate
their heritage and culture,” said
Ms Davison, who supported
her children and grandchildren
through school.
“Education is very important
to young people.”
Ms Davison was recently
honoured at the NSW Schools
Nanga Mai Awards for her
outstanding contribution, as a
community member, to Walcha
Central School.
She dedicated her award to
her daughter, Norma Davison,
and stepson, William Tolmie, who
both recently passed away.
“They would be very proud,”
Ms Davison said. “My daughter
had a special section of all the
things I received awards for
and they were in a very special
section of the house. She would
have been very proud.”

students could “become the best
they can be”.
Ms Davison was one of 22
students, teachers, school staff and
community figures honoured at
this year’s Nanga Mai Awards held
at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum.
The awards, which take their name
from the Eora word “to dream”,
recognise innovation, excellence
and achievement in Aboriginal
education in NSW public schools.
Hillvue Public School, in
Tamworth, won the outstanding
school award for its focus on
developing community partnerships. More than 80 per cent of
parents attend personal learning
plan meetings for their children.
Melinda Brown, a school
learning support officer from Great
Lakes College Tuncurry Junior
campus, received the outstanding
contribution by Aboriginal staff
award for her work mentoring
students, focus on student welfare
and organisation of Aboriginal
performances and ceremonies
within the school
The director-general, Michael
Coutts-Trotter, paid tribute to
the award winners and said there
were “thousands of stories of
extraordinary success of Aboriginal
families in public schools”.
“For you to be chosen from
them is a massive credit to you,
your families, your communities,
your schools, your teachers
and school staff,” Mr CouttsTrotter said. “[You] deserve to be
honoured, deserve to be respected
and deserve to be celebrated.”
The deputy-director general
(schools), Trevor Fletcher, said
there were encouraging signs
the achievement gap between
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
students had narrowed.
“We’ve got a lot more to do, but
there are some things happening
in NSW that are capturing the
attention of the nation,” he said.
Aboriginal
education
and
training director Michele Hall said
the involvement of elders and the
wider community in education
was recognition “that together …
we’ve got to start building those
bridges so we can traverse the
education divide”.
“I am so proud of these young
people. It’s reassuring to know
that our future is in such excellent
hands. It is also a profound
demonstration of the quality of
public education in this state,”
Ms Hall said.
Schools are invited to participate
in the Australian Schools National
Sorry Day on May 26. The day is

Day Committee and precedes

School’s multicultural day held

ceremony, dances and a parade.
Riverwood Public principal
Barbara Hornung said the day was
a “celebration of cultures” and
recognised the school’s diverse
student population, which was
made up of about 20 different
cultural backgrounds.
“The students wanted to
learn about other cultures
and the day is about building
harmony, tolerance and
understanding between
cultures,” Mrs Hornung said.
Throughout the day students,
staff and parents sampled
different foods and students
performed Polynesian, Mauritian,
Ethiopian and Serbian dancing.

Small word with so much meaning
By VICTORIA NIKULIN
With 96 per cent of its students
coming from non-English
speaking backgrounds, Burwood
Public School understands the
importance of cultural inclusion
and harmony.
Those themes were at the
heart of Burwood Public student
letters in the One Small Word
booklet, published by the Federal
Government.
The letters were written by Year
2 students, who wanted to express
their sorrow, in response to Prime
Minister Kevin Rudd’s apology to
the stolen generations last year.
Burwood Public Year 2
teacher Joanne Mulligan said at
the time of the televised speech
the students were learning “the
history of why an apology was
forthcoming”.
“It was amazing to see the
empathy and understanding they
displayed at such a young age,”
she said.
The class discussed how it
would feel to be hurt by a friend
and the psychological value of an
apology.
Ms Mulligan said: “The
children identified with this …
and wondered about how hard it
would be to be taken away from
their family.”
A letter by Matthew Chen,
who wrote: “I am sorry for you
because I have my mum and
dad”, was typical of the students’
compassion.
Ms Mulligan sent the letters
to the Federal Minister of
Families, Housing, Community
Services and Indigenous Affairs,
Jenny Macklin, who had them
published in the One Small Word
booklet to be distributed to all
members of the stolen generation.
The first official recipient,
Aunty Mae Robinson, attended a
special Harmony Day assembly at
Burwood Public School last term.
Aunty Mae told the audience
that she and her mother had been
removed from their families as
young children, and how “truly
broken” Aboriginal families had
been by the policy of removal.
“A long time ago, a mother
took a walk from Batemans Bay
all the way through to La Perouse
[in Sydney]. That woman was my
grandmother, and the little girl
who walked with her, who was six
years of age, was my mum,” Aunty
Mae said. “[My mother] was taken
away … and she didn’t connect
with her family again until she
was 28 years old. They used to
refer to her as ‘the lost child’.”
Aunty Mae said her mother
was finally discovered by the
family years later, living in Moree.
The practice of removing
children continued up until the
late 1960s and Aunty Mae was
also taken from her family to live
at the Cootamundra Girls Home.
She said for many Aboriginal
people Mr Rudd’s apology was
“the most important thing a
prime minister could do”.
The students presented Aunty
Mae and the official guests with
copies of One Small Word.
Aunty Mae commended the
children for their willingness to
learn, and for responding “in the
way of young, clear open minds”.
“To these young students
who took the time to write these
letters … who learnt something
you’ll never forget, on behalf
of all Aboriginal people, I say
thank you.”

Many leaders
make light work
By TREVOR FLETCHER
One tactic that often separates successful
and continuously improving organisations
from others is the approach to succession
planning. For a number of years the office of
schools has had a high priority of building
capacity in schools, regions and central office
to strengthen staff leadership capabilities.
A mistake often made around succession
planning is that of people thinking it is the
province of a few selected leaders. This is not
the case; it needs to be every leader’s business
across the organisation.
Since forming the Leadership Alliance
with the Secondary Principals’ Council and
the Primary Principals’ Association in 2005
we have developed a suite of highly effective
programs available in all 10 regions in
NSW. Last year more than 9,000 individuals
participated in leadership or careerdevelopment programs under the umbrella
of the alliance. This included programs on
executive leadership development, principal
preparation and team leadership. Importantly,
all of these programs were co-constructed
with the professional learning and leadership
development directorate and highly credible,
practising leaders in schools and regions. This
partnership has absolutely underpinned the
success that we’ve been seeing.
Furthermore, regions are offering similar
projects. For example, the New England
region runs the Future Leaders program.
Since its inception about 150 teachers
have had the opportunity to develop their
leadership skills with a number of these
participants gaining middle-executive
positions and taking part in other programs
linked to the leadership continuum.
The benefits from programs like these
are many and varied. Participants strengthen
their skills and capabilities, which assist them
in the jobs they currently have. There is also
no doubt that it can greatly improve the
prospects of other promotional opportunities
within the department.
In the past four years we have
experienced unprecedented levels of quality
and quantity in terms of applications for
principal positions across the 10 regions.
This has been happening at a time when
trends nationally and internationally have
indicated a decline in applicants for these
important roles.
As long as all leaders across the
organisation accept the contribution they
need to make as role models and mentors
who identify, nurture and encourage the
potential in others, we will continue to be a
healthy organisation with a greater capacity
to continuously improve as we move forward.
Trevor Fletcher is the department’s deputy
director-general (schools).

leaders have already participated in an

The times they are a changing
By Bernard Cheng
A child walks into a classroom and starts
hitting a whiteboard with their fingers
generating increasing frustration. The teacher
notices and asks what they are doing?
The child proclaims: “The whiteboard is
broken.” The teacher replies flatly it is not an
interactive whiteboard.
At Australia Street Infants School no child
from preschool to Year 2 has ever experienced
a chalkboard used as a teaching tool in their
classroom. This is becoming a reality for many
teachers and students in our schools.
As a consequence, amidst the outpouring
of technology in schools, there is an imperative
to examine the changing nature of pedagogy
and technology.
The key issue facing schools is the need
to build capacity in teachers to become
facilitators of learning using technologies,
rather than being integrators of current
technology. We need to focus on the
discrimination of appropriate technologies
and their effective use within collaborative
and authentic learning environments that
have real purpose and meaning, and which
facilitate enhanced learning outcomes.
This is in recognition of classrooms that are
populated with digital natives who are not
afraid to explore and adapt new technologies,
yet still require learning opportunities that
frame and apply their understandings
productively in response to authentic tasks
that emphasise purpose, process and
meta-language.
Our task is to ensure
that technology remains
purposeful and enhances
opportunities for students.
Additionally, schools need to ensure that
teachers are given skills to support students
to learn effectively with appropriate tools
rather than explicit skills to understand
current technology – an unsustainable
prospect when the pace of technological
change is considered. This is most starkly
demonstrated through the introduction
of interactive whiteboards in schools.
Who would have predicted five years ago
that this would be a common sight?
Schools often demonstrate a focus
on skill attainment and understanding of
of the specific technologies
that can be used and the
context in which they will be
used. As a process it could
look like the this:
Learning
experiences
Syllabus
links
ICT facilitating

products
ICT Skills &
Meta-language
Appropriate
ICT tools
technology by putting into place explicit
scope and sequences of ICT (information
communication technology) skills linked
to a range of specific applications teachers
should implement. In a sense, this approach
can inadvertently lead to the creation of an
unofficial seventh key learning area; albeit
one that will become quickly outdated as new
technologies emerge.
Practically, all of this has implications on
how teachers are supported in developing
the capacity to integrate technology in
classrooms in a way that has quality teaching
as the core. This implies a redefinition of ICT
within teaching and learning. That is, we
need to shift the focus of ICT from being
an addition to the classroom to being a
ubiquious tool.
A way of approaching it is to engage in
lesson planning based on principles of quality
teaching and best practice, which then informs
1. Define a teaching and learning focus
2. Plan student experiences
linked to syllabus
outcomes
3. Develop proposed
practical activities/
written tasks/assessments
4.Identify what
technologies could be
incorporated that will
assist students
in meeting learning
requirements
5. Profile ICT skills,
language and processes
and skill development
6. Delivery of an authentic
ICT facilitated
learning experience
This model is a reversal of the traditional
view of integrating technology where
teachers start with a piece of hardware or
software then develop a learning opportunity
that fits. In doing so teachers fall into a trap
of allowing technology to dictate learning
design or even replicate current practices with
new technologies.
This raises the question: Does the
technology present new and engaging
opportunities for the students?
It is inevitable that technology will
permeate and influence our role as teachers,
presenting us with new opportunities and
possibilities. Our task is to ensure that
technology remains purposeful and enhances
opportunities for students. This is no more
evident than our now universal acceptance of
Google as the source of all instant knowledge.
In one day about 90 million Google searches
are performed. Where were these questions
directed BG (Before Google)? This is the
changing nature of technology. Who would
have thought?

Classroom of tomorrow
World-class technology is being introduced to NSW public schools with Quality Teaching at the helm.
Teachers have never been in a better position to embrace 21st century learning, writes KIM COTTON.
Professor Stephen Heppell, a man described by
Microsoft as Europe’s online expert, recently
met with NSW education department leaders to
discuss the notion of the classroom of tomorrow.
With the rollout of Gmail to all teachers and
students, Laptops 4 Learning instigated, almost
1,000 interactive classrooms installed and web
2.0 tools being offered among myriad digital
learning devices, it’s a fair consideration. We’ve
got the bells and whistles, but how will all this
technology play out in the classroom?
Professor Heppell, chair in new media
environments at Bournemouth University, says
one of the most profound changes that will
have an impact on how successfully technology
is integrated into teaching and learning has to
do with the shift in equity. He says technology
ownership is no longer a “dis-equity” because
it is now “in the hands of children”. Instead,
inequity has transferred to the knowledge gap
between students and teachers, and between
students who are passively observing knowledge
on the internet and those who are contributing
to that knowledge through online publishing.
“The gap is with awareness of teachers,”
Professor Heppell says.
“What we have to be absolutely clear about
is that children will go further and faster at
this than we ever will. Our response to that is
to come back as professionals and look at the
learning rather than say, ‘I can’t do that yet so
I’m not going to let you do that in my class’.”
He believes the gap will close if students
and teachers work together: “We don’t want
teachers to be technicians … we want our
teachers to be learning professionals, we want
them to see what the possibilities are.
“If we try and work with the staff here
and the students there the gap is going to get
wider,” he says.
Des Gorman, the department’s acting
general manager learning and development,
says it’s an approach that requires a
fundamental shift away from teachers being the
“font of all knowledge” – to becoming “lead
learners” in a community of learners. More so,
the standard format of a teacher/oracle and 25
students contained in four walls will be reframed
in “borderless” scenarios as global access to
knowledge and experts becomes instantly
available, Mr Gorman says.
“It needs to be reaching out into the
community and the community needs to be
reaching into the classroom so for me that’s
borderless,” he says.
“It’s the perfect way of engaging students
because that’s their life now – not to embrace
it is quite discriminatory. They also need to be
able to adapt to new technologies that haven’t
been invented yet. We’ve got a responsibility to
nurture that.”
“The task of what we might do with
all that connectivity has to get passed
right down to communities, parents
and schools otherwise what’s it all for?”
“There are a lot of children
watching the internet and less that
are blogging … there is a digital
divide in being able to contribute.”
“We don’t want
teachers to be
technicians …
we want our
teachers to
see what the
possibilities are.”
Professor Heppell, who has observed schools
in the process of taking up technology all over
the world, says those keen to integrate it into
the classroom have asked their students to
identify the skills teachers need to be literate
in the 21st century. Responses from students
include understanding how to upload videos
on to YouTube (so that they can contribute
to a “bigger world”) and making entries
on to Wikipedia (so students can represent
information relevant to them).
“The children have got an expectation
about what the teachers might be able to do
and in those schools they’ve asked children to
run the [staff development days],” he says.
He cites the example of a geography
teacher who is introduced to Flicker (an online
interactive image library) by students. When the
teachers goes to Africa during the holidays they
upload the pictures and use them as a learning
resource in the classroom later on.
“The bonus of that is that children reflect on
what you might need as a geography teacher
and that meta-reflection is hugely propelling,”
Professor Heppell says.
Sue Beveridge, educational outcomes and
business change manager for the Connected
Classrooms Program, says the Quality Teaching
framework will be the linchpin in the adoption
of technology.
She says students already embrace the
digital world and have a different view from
many teachers about the ways in which to
access information and communicate.
“So if we’re true to the Quality Teaching
framework – which is about connectivity and
significance – then teachers have to use the
students’ world to engage the learning,”
Ms Beveridge says.
She says technology is providing students
with greater access to authentic learning tasks,
increasing the opportunities for higher-order
thinking skills that the syllabus demands, while
reducing busy work.
“How we construct units of work has shifted
considerably from the fact they were twodimensional [and] paper-based to now being
digital online resources, learning objects with
a gaming methodology underneath them …
the students can mock worlds which weren’t
possible previously. This is the vision that we’re
moving towards. It won’t be possible in every
context but … we’ve always been looking for
authentic purposes – it’s underpinned pedagogy
for a long time.”
Professor Heppell says while the connectivity
that schools are experiencing is both a federal
and state-led vision, it is the decision of
each school, teachers, students, parents and
community how that vision will be played out.
The difference between activities of the past
and now is that they have the knowledge of the
world at their fingertips.
Ms Beveridge says increasingly schools are
realising they are “not little islands operating on
their own”. Schools are being given the tools to
communicate with other schools and experts,
but how they use those systems is a local
decision, she says.
“The capacity for us to learn together
through these processes is extraordinary,”
she adds.
Sylvia Corish, Sydney region school
education director who attended the Heppell
lecture, says ultimately technology should
boost the effectiveness of a teacher rather than
compete with their practice.
“If you can engage students and they learn
in a deeper way then the rest follows,”
Dr Corish says.
“Life in this world will have technology;
it’s not going to go away. We have to teach
children the skills of risk taking, connectivity,
the social networking so they’ve got those
generalised skills for communication to be able
to use them in whatever society is like in 10
years’ time.”
Leadership, she says, will pave the way
for a smooth transition into a technologyled curriculum. However, leadership doesn’t
necessarily mean a title.
“[It’s] the leadership of someone to inspire
confidence and to encourage people to just …
give it a go. It might be the beginning teacher,
the IT-savvy teacher or it might be someone
who is so skilled at being a teacher they’re just
prepared to give it a go,” Dr Corish says.
“That’s nothing different, we’ve relied on
those levels of networks between teachers
helping each other for a long time and they are
very powerful.”

An extraordinary group of students in
the support unit at Sydney Secondary
College Balmain campus has been
coming to grips with its new Nintendo
Wiis.
The Year 9 students who have
physical and intellectual needs won the
prize after entering a statewide Cisco
Systems Australia video competition to
investigate the ways technology aids
communication using the theme “The
Human Network”.
The winning team, made up of
Jesse Ellis, Georgia Cooper and Brianna
Heaton – with help from the rest of
the support unit students, enlisted the
aid of the Spastic Centre’s unit TASC
(technology solutions for computer
access, seating and communication)
to organise an expo of communication
aids and augmentative communication
devices for students, staff and
volunteers. Following the expo the
team researched the roles of the IT
personnel they had contact with.
English lessons addressed interview
techniques and how to phrase
questions to elicit the best responses.
Technology lessons helped the students
build skills in using camera, sound and
video equipment, graphics composition
and captions. HSIE lessons considered
methods of exchanging information
and conditions that presented barriers
to successful communication.
The team received valuable support
from Year 7 support unit student
Andrew West and a Year 10 mainstream
student Chloe Usic, who helped with
editing and graphics presentation.
The final production, Now We Can
Talk to the World, was submitted via
YouTube.
The competition judges voted the
students’ production to be the best,
primarily for their novel and creative
subject approach.

Belmore South Public School’s Year 5 and 6
students aren’t just veteran bloggers; they
have a global fan base.
According to the dots on their blog’s
cluster map, visitors from places as far afield
as Trinidad and Tobago, Finland, Honduras
and Poland regularly keep tabs on the
students’ academic adventures at
“allstars.edublogs.org”.
Blogging technology allows people to
create and publish a diary-like webpage (often
at no cost), which can include their own
thoughts along with images, videos, audio
files and links to other sites of interest.
Edublogs, such as Belmore South’s Allstars’
pages, are created as teaching and learning
tools. Principal Gail Dyer says the school has
been creating blogs for more than three
years, and has seen even the least-motivated
students excited about creating work they
know other people around the world will view
and comment on.
“They love the cluster map,” Mrs Dyer
says. “The dots get bigger as people from
that particular place write comments and
visit your site. It opens up really interesting
things geographically. We had a student go
to Vietnam on holiday and she said, ‘Great, I’ll
log on when I’m there so we can get a dot’.”
“None of the children
get anything up on the
blog without a great deal
of planning, talking and
enriched language – all
before they get to write
the first draft.”
Belmore South Public teacher Kim Pericles
says the Allstars’ blog has facilitated learning
communities with other students in Australia
and internationally.
“They’ve had a great deal of involvement
with classes from around the world. If another
school’s doing something we’re interested in,
we try to buddy up … to follow each other’s
progress,” Mrs Pericles says.
Although students are “blown away by
Global gossip
the possibilities of the blog”, she says there is
a strong emphasis on “the quality of the work,
the deeper knowledge they have to have on a
topic they’re writing about”.
“None of the children get anything up
on the blog without a great deal of planning,
talking and enriched language – all before
they get to write the first draft,“ she says.
“The expectations and outcomes are still
very much what you would hope to achieve
in an ordinary classroom, it’s just so much
more engaging.”
A recent example of the creative use of
technology in learning is the “Oceans of
information” project Mrs Pericles set for her
class, which incorporated student research
on sustainability, environmental issues,
mapping, geography, food chains and
adaptation of species.
Several students chose to record their
presentations and, using Vokis, had an
animated character deliver the speech on
the blog. (Imagine a cartoon-like great
white shark, explaining he has “a whopping
30,000 teeth”, with the voice and words of
a 10-year-old named Winson.)
While parental permission, internet
safety training and teacher supervision are
essential for students participating in blogs,
Mrs Dyer says children are best protected by
information and clear rules.
“We have the same child-protection rules
around blogs as we do in the playground. If
someone is doing something you don’t like,
you go and tell the teacher,” she says. “We
have rules for blogging. There are rules for
commenting; they need to keep it positive,
keep it related to school. They understand it’s
being used in an educational context.”
Mrs Pericles and Mrs Dyer also maintain
their own edublogs, which they use to engage
with the international educational community.
“Reading and writing educational blogs is
the best professional development,“ Mrs Dyer
says. “The topics are so wide ranging from
things like technology and bandwidth to the
13
bigger educational issues. It stretches your
imagination and your mind as an educator.”
Mrs Pericles’ blog is “more classroom
based”, while Mrs Dyer “writes more from a
leadership perspective”.
Wyndham College art teacher Gary Poulton
has created another type of edublog, which he
says is primarily an education resource site for
visual art, design and photography teachers.
The plan for his edublog “R.E.W.I.R.E.D” is
for it to become a forum enabling teachers to,
at a future point, access some of the 30,000
content-related files he has developed over
the past 10 years, Mr Poulton says.
“I had been thinking about putting this
resource together, and thought why not use
a blog format, because that allows it to be
interactive, for people to add things and make
comments on it,” Mr Poulton says.
“It’s driven by [the belief] that if collectively
the resources become more accessible, we
make the key learning area stronger.”
R.E.W.I.R.E.D contains an extensive list
of links to museums and galleries around
the world – photographic, design, art and
animation websites as well as resources on
learning strategies and educational theory.
Creating a blog requires a certain leap
of faith, Mr Poulton says, in terms of putting
your own thoughts “out there” for scrutiny
and in making your resources widely available.
“You are exposing yourself as a
professional practitioner and I guess it could
put you up for judgment. Also some people
are quite protective about sharing their own
[educational] content. But my educational
philosophy [is a] collective philosophy,
where it’s about improving access to
resources for everybody, so everyone can
draw from the same pool – and hopefully
contribute back to it.”

A few years ago, Deborah Green could start
games and programs for her children on her
home computer.
Now she’s a dab hand at Claymation,
digital film-making, using the learning software
Marvin, troubleshooting technical glitches and
mentoring colleagues.
The Year 5/6 Young Public School teacher
says her “confidence with anything to do with a
computer has grown significantly” through the
Partners in Learning (PiL) project.
The recently completed project was part of
a three-year collaboration between Microsoft,
the education department and 10 NSW public
schools to investigate the use of information and
communication technologies (ICT) in improving
student engagement, learning and achievement.
At Young Public School, teachers decided to
integrate technology into their welfare program.
“What we tried to do was get children
who were less confident to become more
confident with technology through our buddy
system,” Mrs Green says. “But we also wanted
to enhance the development of empathy,
understanding and patience between students.”
Older students were paired with
Kindergarten students to mentor and teach
basic computer skills, such as logging on. Over
time student groups were formed to write,
produce and, in some cases, star in digital
stories and claymation films, with completed
works shown at school assemblies.
Mrs Green says the practice is now part of
the school’s culture with students responsible
for running a PowerPoint display listing agenda
items during assemblies and screening student
movies via a laptop computer projector.
“The students are far more interested in
getting together with their buddies – the ability
to see their finished project up on a big screen
boosts their morale and they’re able to more
confidently manoeuvre socially through the
school,” she says.
“The older students pass on their knowledge
and that flows to the playground … the
younger children look up to them and over time
playground incidents are diminished.”
Young Public’s success is typical of outcomes
experienced by most PiL schools.
A 2008 report on the project by consulting
firm dk2, which cites Australian Council for
Educational Research (ACER) survey data, shows
“that teachers have become more confident
and sophisticated users of ICT over the past

three years, and that they may feel more
connected with their students”.
ACER researchers observed “a rise in
students’ engagement with school, both in
general terms and in ways mediated by the use
of ICT”.
Microsoft’s Asia Pacific academic programs
manager Felicia Brown says the NSW PiL project
“was extremely successful” with the research
proving the use of technology in the classroom
has made “learning more interesting, engaging
and motivating” for the students.
“[Through online forums] we’ve also been
able to bring teachers together to share their
knowledge,” Ms Brown says.
Mrs Green says Young Public students and
staff are now keener to use technology and
teachers are more willing to be open and share
their teaching practice.
“The technology becomes a learning tool,”
she says. “It’s not there just to play with.”
Department senior project officer, strategic
initiatives directorate, Eleanor Igoe, says PiL
worked best in schools where teachers formed
teams that focused on professional learning.
“Technology was the linchpin in
engaging the students but the teachers had to
underpin it by applying the Quality Teaching
framework and look at their own practice to
become facilitators of learning rather than
directors of learning.”

Super safe in cyber space
By KIM COTTON
A small group of schools is assessing the
value of an online social networking tool for
classroom learning and cyber safety education
through a department-led feasibility study.
The site, SuperClubsPLUS Australia (www.
superclubsplus.com.au) is a protected social
learning networking site open to students
aged six to 12. Trained professional educators
mediate it and every student who registers as
a user has to be validated by their school to
gain access, minimising some of the potential
risks associated with open sites such as cyber
bullying or exploitation.
Sydney Region school education director
Sylvia Corish says schools in the Sydney,
North Sydney and Western NSW regions
began taking part in the study in Term 4 last
year. She says results from the study so far
show the SuperClubsPLUS can teach students
about cyber safety while providing an
authentic space for students to learn in.
“Teachers are feeling that there is huge
potential in being able to use the program.
They like the notion that they can teach cyber
safety in a safer environment – it gives them
authentic reasons to talk about it,” Dr Corish
says. “Rather than it being a nebulous concept
about ‘if students were to go on the internet’,
these students are actually involved in social
networking on the internet but it’s being
monitored by trained professional educators.”
Users can take part in the gamut of
activities facilitated by Web 2.0 technology
such as emailing, contributing to forums,
building web pages and joining ‘web rings’
(special interest clubs). Through these
programs as well as more explicit activities
students learn skills in communicating,
creating and collaborating.
SuperClubsPLUS Australia director Martyn
Wild says users have to abide by rules that
promote cyber respect and safety. If a child
transgresses a rule, such as publishing too
much personal information, a sophisticated
backend system recognises it and enables
mediators to correct their behaviour. Over
time, children get the message and learn to
operate using cyber-safe practices.

Once upon a time, book tours meant endless
hours of travel to scattered venues where an

their readers before moving to the next location.
How times are changing.
Recently, two renowned children’s authors
met with more than 1,200 students and staff

strategies for the kids to use when they’re
not in SuperClubsPLUS,” says Dr Wild. “We
encourage safe practices and over time we
find that we change children’s behaviour
in 78 per cent of cases. If we keep them in
for six months we will change that child’s
practises so they become safer internet users.”
Dr Wild says the biggest danger children
face online is through cyber bullying. He
says research in both the United Kingdom
and Australia has shown that 35 per cent of
children before they reach 15 years of age are
cyber bullied or themselves become online or
mobile phone bullies.
Dr Corish says it is an issue being taken
very seriously by the education department.
Schools not involved in the study can access
resources to promote cyber safety including
the Australian Communication and Media

The cultural
knowledge bilingual
students bring to the
classroom enriches
learning and opens
fellow students’ eyes
to the diversity of the
world, according
to University
of Western Sydney
language expert Criss
Jones Diaz.

learning through their different cultural and
linguistic experiences in the use of language
and communication.

nurture their ideas,” Ms Keech
says. “[It was] a sharing of
their proud heritage and
telling the children what
matters and what doesn’t
matter. It was very much
ethical as well as cultural.”
Wilcannia Central’s
language other than English
(LOTE) teacher, Uncle Murray
Butcher, says the program
highlights to students the
differences and similarities
between the two communities
and the importance of
preserving their unique
identities.
“It opened their eyes to
the wider world, [they] made friends, learned
about other people’s traditional country and
by doing that it helped them look within
themselves and affirmed to them that they’ve
got a culture that’s worth hanging on to,”
he says.
“The whole experience
made the students aware
that it’s their responsibility
to pass on the knowledge
and the language, that it’s
important to keep it alive.”
As the students walked along the beach
or visited other areas of cultural significance,
a local elder and chairperson of the Muurrbay
Language Centre, Uncle Ken Walker,
told Gumbaynggirr creation stories.
“We discussed how important it is that
our kids should learn all these things so
when they’re walking through land they
know they’re walking through land with
stories and history,” Uncle Murray says.
“The whole experience made the
students aware that it’s their responsibility
to pass on the knowledge and the
language, that it’s important to keep it alive
– that they’re the holders of the Aboriginal
language for the next generation.”
Bowraville Central head teacher Paul Le
Cerf says the program’s broader aim is to
build and consolidate the traditional language
programs operating in both schools so that it
“spills over into all other areas of learning”.
The program also facilitates professional
learning between the language and support
teachers because they are able to share ideas
on resources, program delivery, student
outcomes and future directions.
“It’s a richer experience when you’re
looking at things from different perspectives.

and languages education says these
experiences produce cultural knowledge
that can “expand the horizons” of
all students.
“Bilingual children will see that their
language and their culture are valued,”
Dr Jones Diaz says.
“Children who do not speak those
languages but hear them in their
community will have a deeper respect for
the fact that they live in a diverse world,
and that there are other cultures and
languages that are alive in their
local communities.”

By KIM COTTON
A precious resource has been created by a small
group of Western Sydney region schools to support
students from Sudan whose written language has
been decimated by years of civil war.
The DVD, The Chicken and Cat, and
accompanying book are the first in a series of
resources to be developed at Darcy Road Public for
Sudanese students who speak the Dinka language.
Other public schools involved in the project include
Toongabbie East, Toongabbie West, Toongabbie,
Wentworthville and Northmead.
The resources are based on a traditional
Sudanese fable narrated by local Dinka community
member Amou Job.
The story is told in Dinka language with English
subtitles and examines the concept of trust. When
the chicken loses her hut during a flood, the cat,
who lives in the same village, tells the chicken to
trust her to help. In Dinka culture however, to trust
is implicit and should not need to be emphasised.
The chicken becomes suspicious and declines the
cat’s invitation to stay in her hut. To this day they
are no longer friends.
at Bowraville Central] talking about
Gumbaynggirr styles of food, animals or
geographic locations and then Murray
[Butcher] would compare the work, the place
and cultural activities within the Paarkintji
tradition,” Mr Le Cerf says.
“The emphasis with the kids is there
is nothing more powerful than being able
to speak your own language in your own
country.
“These are people who have not been
able to do that for many generations. We’re
trying to build on the program and continue
it for many years to come.”
“When a teacher values that they
understand how children become bilingual
... they understand there is a deep
importance attached to the maintenance
of the home language, not just for the
acquisition of English but for a whole range
of other areas to do with social, emotional
and intellectual growth,” she says.
Dr Jones Diaz says schools should
ensure community language programs have
relevance to the local context.
“Teachers who value diversity and
languages work closely with community
languages teachers in the school to ensure
that important cultural and linguistic
connections are made,” she says.
“Classroom teachers can promote
languages by making connections to the
local active people that are walking in
their playgrounds and their communities.”
attended by more than 120 community
language teachers from the South Western
Sydney region.
She identifies classrooms as
“marketplaces” (a theory developed by
French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu) where
English – as the dominant language – sets an
“exchange rate” that other languages can
be valued against. In this context language is
seen as the tool used to express and develop
“cultural capital” or cultural knowledge.
Dr Jones Diaz says if teachers recognise
the intellectual, cultural, social and linguistic
benefits associated with children growing up
in a bilingual home, the value of other such
languages is increased.

When two Aboriginal school communities,
separated by more than 1,400 kilometres
recently met, their differences came to the
fore over dinner.
For the country kids from Wilcannia,
catching and eating saltwater fish was a new
experience, while the seasiders from Bowraville
found a serving of roo burgers a novel treat.
Yet while their environments and bush
tucker may be completely different, a fiveday excursion together gave the students
a taste for a shared mission – to keep their
cultures alive.
The cultural and language exchange
brought together about 30 students from
Wilcannia and Bowraville central schools’
traditional communities – the Paarkintji
community from western Wilcannia and
the Gumbaynggirr community of the wider
Nambucca area.
Along with their teachers, Aboriginal
education officers, elders and other members
from both communities the students travelled
to Scotts Head on the state’s north coast. It
was the second experience of its kind over
the past year with the Gumbaynggirr school
community making its way cross-country last
winter to Wilcannia.
Among the highlights for the Years 5
to 10 students were ice-skating at Coffs
Harbour’s Big Banana and surfing on a
longboard.
“As much as anything it was social,”
says Wilcannia’s head teacher administration
Margaret Keech, who attended the exchange.
“A lot of these children have not been
taken out of Wilcannia – the Plaza at Broken
Hill is the extent.”
Yet amidst the fun, a far more powerful
force was at play as the teachers and elders
wove their traditional languages, stories and
cultural knowledge into the activities.
“The [adults] would sit down and have
Darcy Road Public principal Harry Berwick says
the resource is the first produced in the Dinka
language that the schools have been able to access
aside from a dictionary.
“My concern was that we were being given
students who came from a language background
which had been denied the written form for
many, many years,” he says.
“This is giving respect and value to the Sudanese
culture ... every child in the school will know it
comes from the Sudanese culture. In a very lowkey, subtle way it is trying to attempt to maintain
the culture within Australia and also to revitalise the
written language in some very simple form.”

Online meeting place
Winanggaay is an Aboriginal word from the
Wiradjuri community meaning to know, to
think, to understand. It’s also the name of our
new human resources website, developed
and maintained by Aboriginal staff to support
Aboriginal people across the department.
I am a descendant of the Biripi people
(Taree) and the Gadigal people of the Eora
nation (Sydney), and I’ve worked for the
education department for almost eight years.
In that short time, I’ve seen the department
come a long way.
There has been a significant cultural shift
in the support and recognition Aboriginal
people have been given. The percentage of
Aboriginal staff in our workforce has increased
from 1.7 to 2.3 per cent, which is above the
State Government’s benchmark.
Since 2006, 51 Aboriginal school
administrative and support (SAS) staff have
been permanently employed and so far
this year, 74 Aboriginal teachers have been
appointed. I’m proud of our successes, but at
the same time realistic about knowing there’s
still a lot of work to be done to give our
teachers, staff and students the support they
need to thrive.
The Winanggaay site is just one of various
strategies we’re working on to support the
implementation of the Aboriginal Human
Resource Development Plan 2009-2011.
Building on the success of the 2006-2008
plan, the department is focused on retaining
our Aboriginal employees and ensuring
they have good, professional development
opportunities.
“It tells you what
opportunities are out
there, and makes
teachers aware of
the various roles of
Aboriginal people in
the department.”
The site is a “meeting place”, a tool to let
Aboriginal people connect with each other,
and a central point for promoting information
about professional development and how to
access more support.
It will also be a useful tool for managers
with Aboriginal staff, pointing them in the
right direction for professional support and
networking and to find out more about
Aboriginal perspectives, culture and protocols.
Spirit by JANNIENE O’SULLIVAN
A website has been created to support professional development for the growing
number of Aboriginal staff working in the department, writes CHARLENE DAVISON.
To make Winanggaay as relevant and
informative as possible, the human resources
directorate sought input from Aboriginal
people around the department including two
new faces you’ll see on the site, Annie Austin
and Shayn Clarke.
Ms Austin is a descendant of the
Gamillarraay people from Boggabilla/
Toomelah in NSW. She was initially seconded
by staffing services in 2006 from her role as
an Aboriginal education officer in Armidale.
Last year Ms Austin became a staffing
project officer contributing not only to
Winanggaay, but also giving support to
Aboriginal SAS staff and Aboriginal community
members applying for SAS staff positions.
Ms Austin works with principals to identify
vacant SAS staff positions for Aboriginal
people in schools with a significant number
of Aboriginal enrolments, then organises a
community Yarn Up.
A Yarn Up is a community information
session held at the school or community
organisation, where we discuss the role and
responsibilities of the advertised position
and the application process as well as giving
resources such as interview tips.
Aboriginal human resource project officers
attend Yarn Ups where possible. We find that if
we do attend the Yarn Up, and all the relevant
information is given and resources are made
readily available to potential applicants, more
people tend to apply and the schools have a
higher quality of applications.
Ms Austin says more principals are seeing
the benefits of identifying SAS staff positions
for Aboriginal employees, and some have said
they “were confident it was going to work,
but were surprised at how well it works in
their school”.
“One principal said from the 10
applications he could have employed at least
four candidates for the job as the quality of
the applications was excellent,” she says.
“And the parents are happy because
they know [the successful applicant]. She’s a
community person, so they go to the office
and even though they mightn’t necessarily
speak with her, they know she’s a friendly
face there.”
The support program for new Aboriginal
SAS staff consists of mentoring support for up
to 12 months and the opportunity to attend
a two-day orientation workshop in Sydney
with their principals and mentors, after which
Aboriginal human resource project officers
continue to stay in touch with them in a
personal support role via telephone and email.
With larger numbers of Aboriginal
teachers starting in schools, the regions
are conducting their own newly appointed
Aboriginal teachers’ workshops, which
were previously held in Sydney.
The aim of having the regionally run
Aboriginal beginning teachers’ workshops is it
gives them an opportunity to network locally,
and to become familiar with the people
offering support at that level.
McCallums Hill Public School teacher
Shayn Clarke knows what it’s like to be
a young Aboriginal teacher starting out,
and now brings an experienced teacher’s
perspective to his role as relieving Aboriginal
liaison officer, staffing services.
Mr Clarke is a descendent of the Wiradjuri
people, from Young in the south-west of NSW,
and is promoting teaching as a career choice
for Aboriginal people. He sees the Winanggaay
site as a helpful resource for department
contacts and professional development.
“It tells you what opportunities are out
there, and makes teachers aware of the
various roles of Aboriginal people in the
department,” Mr Clarke says. “In my current
role, I’m making lots of professional contacts,
and I’m only just realising how helpful that
will be when I go back into the classroom.”
Leigh Ridgeway, president Aboriginal
Education Consultative Group Port Stephens
area and an Aboriginal community
liaison officer (ACLO) in the Hunter and
Central Coast region, who was part of the
consultation process for the new Aboriginal
Human Resource Development Plan, agrees
strategies that recruit and support Aboriginal
staff are vital to improving educational
outcomes for Aboriginal children.
Through his role as an ACLO, he
works closely with schools and Aboriginal
communities.
“I believe we need more permanent
Aboriginal people in schools, so parents aren’t
afraid of coming into the school,”
Mr Ridgeway says.
“Aboriginal students are seeing
our Aboriginal people in their schools,
which will benefit their learning. And
our Aboriginal parents will have a better
understanding of where the schools are
coming from, and together we will ‘bridge
the gap’ with our kids.”
Winanggaay is only available to
department employees, but we’re looking at
ways to make similar information available
to Aboriginal communities about the
department’s initiatives, and to provide
resources to prospective Aboriginal employees.

Following his success as a finalist last year,
Warners Bay High School student Wanagi
Zable-Andrews has this year won the Year 9-10
category of the national Moran Contemporary
Photographic Prize Secondary Schools section.
His piece, The Line, (image 1) was among
three winners in the category. Two other
students from the school, Tayla Bainbridge and
Danielle Ind were also Moran finalists.
Photographic judge Andrew Quilty says
Wanagi’s work stood out because of his unique
vision and his “mature point of view”.
“Just the way he captured it without
photographing what was obvious, his
grandmother’s face, but rather obstructing the
view of her and concentrating on the shapes and
forms,” Mr Quilty says.
Warners Bay High’s visual arts and
photography teacher Rebecca Witherspoon
says Wanagi’s win has encouraged his peers to
continue their love of photography. There are
six photography elective classes operating in the
school as well as art major classes.
A passionate photographer, Ms Witherspoon
also entered this year’s open section of the
Moran Prize.
“Wanagi assures me that one day we’ll both
be in competition with each other,” she says.
If the shoe fits
Not every woman has a shoe collection to rival
that of Imelda Marcos but there’s many a girl
attached to their footwear.
Pretty Beach Public School’s P&C
Association tapped into this interest by holding
a fundraiser to celebrate International Women’s
Day last term called Twelve Shoes, a one-woman
cabaret by Joanna Weinberg. The show featured
12 songs about 12 women told through the
stories of 12 shoes (image 2).
And to add more razzamatazz to the
fundraiser, the local P&C president, Brian O’Heir
contacted sporting stars and entertainers to
auction off their shoes or shoes they had signed.
Under the hammer on the night went shoes
worn by Olympic walker Jane Saville, soccer
boots from the former Matilda’s captain, Cheryl
Salisbury, knee-high red boots from country
singer Kasey Chambers and beach thongs from
Olympic swimmer Brooke Hanson.
Evonne Goolagong Cawley signed Dunlop
Volleys, Dawn Fraser and Shane Gould signed
flippers. The lucky door prize was a pair of wellworn shoes signed by performer Diesel.
The fundraiser, held at historic Wagstaffe
Hall, raised more than $6,000 for the school.

Jazmine Reynolds-Pearce, 10, loves her long
hair but she loves her brother more. Thirteenyear-old Nathaniel Clifton was diagnosed
with leukaemia at nine years old. He’s been in
remission for two years.
Jazmine (image 3) shaved her head at Johns
River Public School as part of the World’s
Greatest Shave last term to raise money for the
Leukaemia Foundation.
Jazmine has so far raised more than $500
from the local community, families and school
staff members.

On the case
When Wheeler Heights Public School
students heard that schools had been
destroyed in the terrible fires in
Victoria, they wanted to do
something to help. So
the children had a
Pencil Case Drive
(image 4), bringing in more than 420 brand
new pencil cases, filled with stationery supplies,
to give to children from the affected areas.
The pencil cases have been taken by
truck to Whittlesea, where they have been
distributed to schools in the area by the
Salvation Army crisis team.
“We wanted to let the children know that
we care about them, and we thought this would
be a good way to help,” says student leader
Ashley Bekker.
Wheeler Heights Public School principal,
Kathryn Drummond, says the response from the
school community has been wonderful “with
many of the children writing touching messages
of hope and encouragement, which they tucked
into the pencil cases.”

Hair today, gone tomorrow
Nine hardy souls from Pacific Palms Public
School recently went under the shears for
the Leukemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest
Shave fundraiser (image 5). Not only was the
event made special by the school community’s
generosity ($11,500 was raised) but each of the
team had a personal experience with leukaemia
or cancer through friends of family members.
School administrative and support staff
(SASS) member Jo Astorini set the bar shaving
her head for $5,000. Other staff and community
members also commanded a high price for their
locks: $4,000 – Robin Rowe and Kim Worth
(SASS), Deb Lawson (Aristocut Hairdressing/
parent), $3,000 – Jason Woods (Pacific Palms
Pharmacy), $2,000 John Wood (general
5
assistant), $1,000 Jason Tindall, Mike Wilson
(teachers) and Tony Russ (SASS).
Jo Astorini also donated her 40cm ponytail
to the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation.
The school’s principal, Kerry Tolloch, says the
event, attended by students, staff and parents/
community members was charged with emotion
because there had been so much build-up to
the day.
“There were lots of cheers but a very
emotional feeling about the assembly. It was so
courageous of those people and so important for
our students to see [their] commitment.”

which involved guest speakers, Australian
player Shane Watson and Kate Blackwell of the
Southern Stars. Ms Blackwell was a member of
the NSW CHS tour to South Africa in 1999 and
mentioned the importance of that trip and
Mr Findlay’s involvement in her early cricket
career.
At the medal dinner Mr Findlay met Allan
Border (a former North Sydney Boys High
School student) and caught up with former
NSW CHS players Michael Clarke, Phil Hughes,
Brett Lee and Brad Haddin who were keen to
reminisce about past tours.
“The great thing about meeting up
with them again was that it was as if time
hadn’t passed. Without exception they were
really keen to catch up and we talked about
things that had happened on tours and in
competitions that we’d shared together, what
I was doing and what was happening in their
personal lives,” Mr Findlay said.
“One of the great things about sport is the
life-long friendships you forge with people.”

Jessica shoots for par excellence
By BEN WYLD
Golfer Jessica Noh must not be the
superstitious type – if her choice of caddie is
anything to go by.
Jessica, from Marsden High School,
and her principal Greg Wann have a longstanding joke that whenever he watches the
teenager play golf she underperforms.
But when she competed against the
likes of Karrie Webb and Laura Davies in the
Women’s Australian Open at Melbourne, last
term, there was only one person she had in
mind to be her caddie – Mr Wann.
“I’ve known him for five years now since I
was at Marsden High in Year 7,” Jessica said.
“I wanted to show him that the girl from his
school plays golf on the professional tour …
and [also] he said he never did such things like
caddying so that was the main reason. I made
the right choice … he helped me relax.”
The Year 12 student, who qualified for
the Melbourne event by finishing equal first
in the women’s NSW Open amateur section,
missed the cut in the national title but sees
her performance as a learning experience.
The event marked the HSC student’s final
tournament as an amateur. She is currently in
the process of gaining her card to play on the
professional tour.
“My future goal … is to be number
one in the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf
Association) tour,” Jessica said. “I know it is a
pretty big goal but having a bigger
dream helps me to push myself
more.”
Mr Wann believes Jessica’s
sound temperament and technical
skills will ensure she has a successful
career.
“She’s the sort of person
other people like … she’s quiet in
achievement and humble in defeat,”
he said.
Mr Wann said participating
in the event at Melbourne was a
wonderful experience and he was
honoured to caddie for Jessica
following her request at the start of
the school year.
“I told her I was thrilled she had
asked an old fuddy-duddy like me to
drag her bag around the course.”
However, despite assisting
Jessica compete against some of the
leading names in women’s golf, Mr
Wann’s biggest sense of pride about
the experience came from Jessica’s
choice of warm-up clothing.
“The jumper she started
playing in every day was the NSW
Combined High School (CHS)
jumper,” he said. “There she is,
wearing our government jumper in
a world professional tournament.
“She said to me ‘NSW CHS has
given me so many opportunities to
advance my golf and travel Australia.

Lindfield’s pool of talent
By BEN WYLD
A swimming pool probably tops
most student wish lists of musthave items for their school, but for
Lindfield Public students a pool is
a reality.
Since the school’s P&C built
and opened the pool in 1957,
students have had easy access
to the facility for learn-to-swim
lessons, training and swimming
competitions.
Lindfield Public principal Craig
Oliver said each class had weekly
swimming lessons while the P&C
ran squads and a swimming club
for junior, senior, intermediate
and advanced swimmers during
Terms 1 and 4.
Recently the P&C hired Dave
Rifkin, who experienced the
United States’ college swimming
system, as the school’s swimming
coach.
Not surprisingly the school has
forged a formidable swimming
reputation and last term notched
up its 36th year in a row as the
champion school in the Ku-ringgai zone.
“To be as dominant as
Lindfield has been for such a
long period of time is testimony

involvement and support, the

A NSW public school deputy principal has
received Cricket Australia’s highest accolade
for his contribution to school cricket.
Illawarra Sports High School deputy
principal Neil Findlay received a CricEd of the
Year award earlier this year for his work to
support and develop secondary school cricket.
Mr Findlay, who retired last term after 39
years’ teaching, said he was “surprised and
humbled by the honour”.
The award recognised Mr Findlay’s 28year contribution to NSW school sport and
his role in managing teams from the Illawarra
and South East region, to NSW and Australian
representative schoolboy level.
He began as the South Coast Combined
High School (CHS) boys’ manager in 1981 and
has worked with outstanding school cricketers
such as Brett and Shane Lee, Phillip Jaques and
Brad Haddin.
During the 1990s he was the NSW CHS
boys’ open manager and between 1995
and 2005 organised and led six NSW CHS
combined boys’ and girls’ tours to the United
Kingdom and South Africa.
From 2002 Mr Findlay also managed
the NSW 15 Years boys’ team at the School
Sport Australia National Championships
on five occasions and the School Sport
Australia representative team in international
competitions in India (2004), Australia (2006)
and England (2007).
The extent of Mr Findlay’s involvement in
school cricket reveals his deep passion for the
game.
“I began playing cricket when I was
12 … and when I went to teachers’ college
I played first grade for a couple of years for
Sydney University,” he said. “I moved back to
Wollongong and played there for 16 years …
then after an eight-year break came back as a
cricket umpire.”
Mr Findlay’s award was acknowledged
by the Australian cricket community with
an invitation to the Allan Border Medal
presentation earlier this year.
During the day Mr Findlay attended a

swimming programs and the high
standard of coaching offered to
our students over this period of
time,” Mr Oliver said.
“We’ve
had
strong
swimming results in our school
performances, zone and regional
carnivals and have had a number
of students represent at state
level.”
Earlier this year the school held
their popular school swimming
carnival night finals that attracted
a vocal crowd of about 300
parents and supporters.
“It’s quite a tradition,” Mr
Oliver said. “And at a certain
time of the night former students
converge on the school grounds
to participate in the community
relay race.”
The school’s P&C members
assisted teachers by acting as
official time-keepers during the
finals.
Students Emily Waddington
and Tom Robson, pictured above,
broke a number of school records
on the night.
Lindfield Public is one of at
least five NSW public schools to
have a pool.

enlarged and rebuilt in 1972.

What better way to spend New Year’s Eve
than to arrive at the culturally vibrant Middle
Eastern country of Jordan.
The 24-hour journey to the other side
of the world was the beginning of my
Endeavour Language Teacher Fellowship
experience. This fellowship offers Australian
language teachers the opportunity to
become immersed in an authentic language
environment. As a teacher of the Arabic
language, this enabled me to appreciate the
diverse range of dialects and culture of the
Arabic-speaking world and, importantly,
how to teach Arabic as a second language
more effectively.
The study program began in Oman with
a three-day field trip. Our first stop was
the Dead Sea, a salt lake flowing between
Israel and The West Bank to the west and
Jordan to the east. On the way we stopped
at the Jordanian River where, according to
the Christian Scriptures, Jesus Christ was
baptised by John the Baptist.
We continued exploring the Dead Sea,
which is the lowest point on earth at more
than 400 metres below sea level. The tour
guide recommended the Dead Sea mud
for our skin, it was a great experiment. We
all rubbed the mud on our arms and faces
and to our surprise it was quite cleansing.
We also went to the Dead Sea Museum
where we saw ancient artefacts of the Dead
Sea. Most impressive were the large-scale
models of the Dead Sea’s geography and
geology. We also saw the
time line of the Dead Sea’s
deterioration. The location
of the museum is unreal
– atop of a steep cliff that
gave us views of the entire
Jordan valley.
Two days later, we
returned to Oman to start
our study program. On
the way we stopped at the
famous Ancient Roman city,
Jerash, which has one of
the largest and most well
preserved sites of Roman
architecture in the world
outside of Italy.
Our two-week study
program was held at the
University of Jordan. The program covered
linguistics, syntax, grammar morphology
as well as literature. From day one we were
immersed in an environment geared to
learning. The academic setting coupled with
Jordan’s cultural experience fully supported
our study initiative.
The university lectures were informative
and highly educational. As part of the
program we had visits to schools where we
were introduced to the Jordanian education
system and the resources they use. Most
of the lecturers were Arab writers or poets

32 international awards for her short

Time passages … Arabic teacher Ghada Majed (left) joined with other language
teachers to explore Jordan’s cultural landscape.
lecturers also gave signed copies of their
novels with a few words to remember them
by as a memento of this experience.
We ended our time in Jordan with a
field study trip to the Kingdom of Petra (the
second wonder of the world), which was
founded by the Nabataens (Al - Anbat).
The Nabataens were ancient Arabic Semitic
people who invented the North Arabic
script, which was a precursor to the modern
Arabic alphabet. The entrance to Petra was
as mysterious and as spectacular as the city
itself. After tracking through a maze to the
entrance of the city, we were awestruck
over the beauty and size of this magnificent
city, which took us back in time. Petra
was breathtaking and really completed
our journey.
I would recommend the fellowship
experience to all teachers. I will pass on the
benefits of such a rich, cultural experience to
my students, school and colleagues.

Community Language.
