On Thursday the 21st of May, Cleveland District State High School hosted a visit from delegates to the 6th International Middle Years Of Schooling Association Conference. The Conference is held over three days with the first day set aside for local schools to show visitors examples of some of the innovative and challenging activities and programs operating for their students. We were chosen to demonstrate the way that our Year 8 integrated task called, “Living on the Edge” operates.
This Year 8 Unit takes the students out on Moreton Bay to look at the challenges and pressures facing the environment from human impact. It is run with the assistance of the staff at the Moreton Bay Environmental Education Centre and the Port of Brisbane Authority. Back in the classroom, students undertake further study and are assessed in a range of tasks across the four KLAs – English, SOSE, Maths and Science.
Distinguished guests, parents, teachers and students.
Welcome to Cleveland District State High’s Badge Ceremony for 2009
This is an important occasion in the life of our school. Our purpose is to induct our school leaders; to recognise those who have been chosen as school captains, members and executive of our student councils, house captains and also our senior students. Each and every one of you are leaders in our school.
Shortly Terry Kearney, Assistant Director General - Indigenous Education, Training and the Arts Division of DETA will talk to you about leadership.
Terry has more than three decades of experience in administration and education, stretching back to stints as a teacher and principal,
He is ideally placed to talk about schooling, your opportunities and leadership.
I will confine my remarks to our senior students and to making the most of the year ahead.
All students enrolled in year 11 Maths B next year are invited to attend Maths B preparation tutorials held at the school. These tutorials are aimed to help increase a students understanding of the algebraic skills required to successfully study Mathematics B.
