In our Staff Spotlight today, we're recognising Simone Bykerk, our wonderful Outdoor Learning Teacher! Simone is the mastermind behind our Outdoor Learning Programs, expertly planning and organising activities that inspire and challenge our students. 🌿 What does a typical day look like in your role? The thing I love about my role is that there’s nothing typical about it and it changes every day. I could either be in the office working out the best way to put a program together and doing the supporting paperwork, or I could be in the shed packing equipment, or I could be out in the bush taking the students hiking or abseiling. There is no typicality! 🌿 Describe your role in just one word Everchanging! 🌿 If you could switch roles with another staff member for a day, who would it be and why? IT because I would like to learn some IT skills to support my current role. I would also switch with Wellbeing Team; I’m currently doing a Youth and Adolescence Mental Health Graduate Certificate as part of my professional development. 🌿 What is the most rewarding aspect of your job? Getting to a point in the program where students push past their boundaries and achieve something extraordinary. Sometimes students are scared to go out their comfort zone; for example, they may be scared of abseiling but at the same time they really want to try it. It’s very rewarding seeing them work through their challenges and complete their task, and seeing the support from their peers too. It’s also rewarding to see a group who are initially a bit disjointed transform into a well-oiled machine of problem solving, planning and organising. 🌿 Tell us about a Hobby or interest that might surprise your colleagues Macrame. I made and sold a bunch of these during COVID. It’s a natural lead on from roping skills and rope movement, and I have a lot of plants, so it gives me somewhere to hang them!

Do you let students plan and carry out their own science investigations? Do you provide opportunities for in-depth discussions about science topics? How often do your primary students have science lessons? A new national report, released by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), explores latest achievement data for students’ science literacy, and offers insights into what’s happening in Australian classrooms to help develop their knowledge, understanding and inquiry skills. #STEM #science

The Government is making legislative changes to make it easier for new early learning services to be established, and for existing services to operate, Associate Education Minister David Seymour says. The changes involve repealing the network approval provisions that apply when someone wants to establish a new early learning service, and stopping the introduction of new person responsible requirements that were taking effect in August of this year. Providers and parents are best placed to decide where early learning services should be established. Where there’s demand from parents providers will follow. Current network approval provisions introduced by Labour give government the right to decide where services should be. They also make setting up new services complex and inhibit competition. This gets in the way of early childhood professionals delivering effective, affordable and accessible services to parents and their children. We have to understand what the purpose of regulation is, and ensure whether, on balance, regulation is the appropriate tool to use. Mr Seymour is also proposing to revoke the National Statement on the Network of Licensed Early Childhood Services as soon as possible, to make granting approvals for new services faster, while the legislation is repealed. Consultation on this proposal opens today and runs until 5 May 2024. The Government also intends to make it easier for service providers to ensure key supervisory roles are filled. Removing the new requirement for a higher level of certification will mean that persons responsible will not need to obtain a Full (Category One or Two) Practicing Certificate. The requirement had the potential to result in increased fees, reduced operating hours, or even closure for some services, due to a lack of fully certificated teachers. Services in rural areas and lower socio-economic areas were most likely to suffer due to staffing and funding challenges. Teachers will still need a recognised teaching qualification and a practicing certificate, and all early learning services will still need to comply with current licencing requirements including all relevant health and safety regulations. Implementation of the requirements for changing the identity of the service provider on the service licence are also on hold following concerns raised by the sector. Early learning centres are a key part of our education system and are important for working parents who need somewhere to affordably send their children. The Government has also signalled its intention to review all regulations governing the early childhood education sector, with the newly created Ministry for Regulation conducting a regulatory review. We need to strip unnecessary compliance and cost so our early learning professionals can be focussed on education and care of children. After all, costs cannot all be absorbed – they eventually land on the parents.

Building on the work of Professor Angus Macfarlane, we decided to use the core information from his well-known educultural wheel, but also add two additional values into it to make it our own and relate it to our Victory Primary School context. 💙💛 This diagram shows the interconnectedness of our six school values which, in true holistic fashion, don’t happen in isolation of one another. At the centre is ‘Kia Toa’, which is our school motto meaning to be victorious, brave, and bold. In other words, to be successful at VPS our tamariki (children), kaimahi (staff), and whānau (families) need to use a combination of all of our school values. If one is out of balance then it affects the tone, morale, and heartbeat of our organisation. 🌏 WHAKAPAPA: Identity, Belonging & Connection 🙋🏻♀️ RANGATIRATANGA: Leadership, Courage & Integrity 🧑🧑🧒🧒 WHANAUNGATANGA: Relationships, Collaboration & Communication 🥰 MANAAKITANGA: Repect, Support & Kindness ♻️ KAITIAKITANGA: Guardianship, Protection & Sustainability 👫 KOTAHITANGA: Trust, Partnership & Unity The whakatauki (proverbs) connect the different values and help guide us by providing powerful imagery 🤔

“I didn’t know”. “I was not given enough time”. “The instructions were not clear enough”. After working in the education sector for more than 20 years, I’ve seen a fair share of reasoning from students for not being able to deliver their work. To qualify, most students would accept the late penalty with no complaints if they had not handed in their work on time. There were students who would fight tooth and nail even though they clearly did not deliver, but those are the exceptions. So I was really pleased when I received this note from a student who was a day late in submitting the assignment. It speaks of pure honesty and accountability. In my reply, I told the student that I “honour his accountability” and am so proud of the student for stating it as it is. The ability to take responsibility goes beyond just this assignment. It shows good integrity and maturity on the part of the student and that bodes well for the student’s future, both in the student’s career and in the life journey ahead. Will the student still receive a late penalty? Most definitely. Have I gained a newfound respect for this student? Most definitely too! Note: I’d sought the student’s permission to share this note as this is a good point of reflection, even in our own work areas where integrity and responsibility are key values to possess. #NgeeAnnPoly #LifeAsALecturer #Accountability #Integrity #Responsibility

We are keenly awaiting the release of the Productivity Commission’s final inquiry report, outlining the road map for delivering universal affordable early childhood education and care. This is the final piece of the reform puzzle required for the Federal Government to deliver long overdue reforms to early childhood education and care. We’ve been actively involved from the outset, sharing our members’ stories and highlighting the reforms that children and families urgently need through multiple briefings, submissions and hearings. It was pleasing to see the Productivity Commission’s draft report refer to CELA's robust joint submission with CCC throughout, highlighting the importance of investing in greater access to high quality services for children and families. We’ll be looking for recommendations that support: · professional wages for early educators and teachers · growth of not-for-profit and community managed services to ensure all children can access quality early education, particularly in rural and regional areas · a universal entitlement for 30 hours free or low cost early education and care. CELA CEO Michele Carnegie has been fortunate to travel across Australia, visiting many regional, remote, and urban communities. The one thing they all have in common is the need for quality early childhood education to be the foundation of Australia’s education system, supporting the well-being and development of children and families’ choice to participate in work. #ozearlyed #preschool #daycare
101 CommentDigital Future Aotearoa
ERO recently released a report looking into the challenges faced by new teachers and how supported they feel as they begin their mahi. With teachers already in shortage and their impact on our future so great, it's crucial that we hear and learn from those at the coal face (so to speak). Here's what caught our attention: 👉 38% of new teachers don't feel confident to teach technology, and 👉 tech is also one of the subjects teachers still feel least confident about after their first two years. We've spoken on our blog recently about the huge importance of a grounding in technology as part of creating digital equity (https://bit.ly/3K3TiW5). This report highlights a need to provide teachers new and old with the resources and training they require to, in turn, properly equip their students for a digital future. Not all parts of the technology curriculum are directly related to digital technology, but the concepts taught are foundational to using, understanding, and designing digital tools.

Day 2 of the Australian Islamic Schooling Conference (AAISC7) hosted by the Australian Islamic College of Brisbane (ICB) Reflecting on Professor Nadeem Memon’s insightful presentation, “Education isn’t JUST education,” I was struck by the profound truth in his words. Islamic education is not merely the transmission of knowledge; it is a holistic journey that integrates faith, character, and purpose. The emphasis isn’t just on what we teach, but why we teach it. In our pursuit of knowledge, we must always remember that our education system has a unique identity—it’s not just education; it’s Islamic education. Our role as educators extends beyond the classroom; we are nurturing future generations who will carry the torch of faith and contribute meaningfully to society. Without purpose, education becomes a mere transaction of information. But when grounded in Islamic principles, it transforms into a powerful tool for personal and communal growth.

As the A-level results are out today, a reminder of our analysis of the challenges facing further and higher education by Sandra McNally Gu Ventura and Gill Wyness. * There are not enough graduates. The wage premium to university degrees is high everywhere in the country (although the level and trend varies). If the UK economy is to grow, it is especially important that “strategic sectors” (those in which the UK has a comparative advantage) are supported. These sectors - which include financial and business services, the creative and cultural sector and life sciences – employ a much higher fraction of graduates than the rest of the economy. * There are also too few people educated to sub-degree level compared to other countries. But the problem is not “too many graduates” but too many low-educated workers. https://lnkd.in/dc2i8BPG
5Loreto College, Marryatville
It’s an age-old debate: are our children better off in a co-educational environment or a single-sex one? While opinions and research vary on this topic, at Loreto College, Marryatville we firmly believe that the choice should ultimately rest with parents, who are most attuned to their child's individual needs and preferences. While there has been discussion about a widespread shift towards co-education, recent data suggests otherwise. There has indeed been a modest decline in the percentage of students educated in single-sex schools over the last decade, however the absolute number has grown, indicating continued demand for this educational model. In fact, girls' schools have seen significant enrolment growth, with 96% of girls' schools across NSW reporting increased demand for places in 2023. In South Australia, there has been nearly an 8% growth in enrolments within girls’ schools over the past 6 years. A growing body of research suggests that single-sex education correlates with higher academic achievement, with NAPLAN scores tending to be slightly higher in single-sex schools compared to their co-educational counterparts. Loreto College Principal Kylie McCullah says this underscores the positive impact that the focused learning environment of single-sex education can have on academic outcomes. “In 2024, the importance of single-sex education remains significant as it continues to provide a valuable alternative to traditional coeducational settings,” Ms McCullah said. “By fostering a supportive and focused learning environment, single-sex education equips students with the tools they need to thrive academically, personally, and socially in an ever-evolving world.” To learn more, please visit https://lnkd.in/dCK5qpPi #singlesexeducation #coedvssamesexschool #tailorededucation
