Education Matters

greig.thomson — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:47:34 +0000

Educational issues are in the news. Last Wednesday in the Sydney Morning Herald it was reported that “federal and state bureaucrats are pushing to privatise all occupational training in Australia”. The document, prepared for the Council of Australian Governments, also proposes that students who attend TAFE or private vocational colleges pay significantly more to complete courses.

And on the weekend, influential media tycoon Rupert Murdoch claimed that Australia has “a 21st century economy with a 19th century education system” and called for a major overhaul of education.

On a more local and immediate level, the NSW government is moving to slash the school travel subsidy and scrap the annual $50 back to school allowance as part of a series of spending cuts.

Hi all, this is Karen. I’ve been doing some work experience here at St. George College Library. I’m finishing the Library & Information Services Diploma this year. So I know all about assessments piling up; as well as looking for a job with my new qualifications, (& they say that’s a full time job in itself).

So if you’re stressed to the MAX about exams & assessments, or have the DOUBLE WHAMMY of looking for a good job as well, the library has heaps of resources to help you out.

We have books to help with stress, how to survive exams, & how to write essays & reports. The Student Association has provided the library with TAFE ACTIV health & fitness magazines and the counselling service has provided the Wellness Collection to assist with those stressful times.

And for you job-hunters, hunt down our resources to help you with your job search. We have books on job applications & interviews; career change; workbooks, as well as career-specific help-books. And you can access job websites on our computers.

GOOD LUCK !!

My Library Practice II at St. George College Library

ssummersmorrow — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 04:39:00 +0000

Hi! My name is Cecilia.
I live in Arncliffe which is not far from Kogarah and I’m at this Library completing a Library Technician Diploma which I started part-time at Ultimo TAFE quite a while ago.
Everyone here is so friendly and I commend all Staff for the great work they do. For this reason time has flown and sadly there are only three days remaining of my placement (of a total of 4 weeks). The good news is that Julie from Ultimo TAFE was here last Friday and said I passed this Practice. That made me very happy and I celebrated over the weekend by visiting my friends and going to art galleries and to the ‘Walk against Warm’ march.
There is still some work to be completed if I want to finish this Course, so I should stop celebrating and going out for a bit. This is hard to do, I love my friends and take any excuse to celebrate and go out!

SydNet Orientation

The Library is conducting short orientation sessions on the new SydNet for College staff. These sessions are being held in the Blended Learning Centre during the lunch period and the aim is to outline the structure and main features of the website.
One of the main changes has beeen the design of the website to reflect the organisation’s business processes and the communication of corporate knowledge.
