Still Winning? Social Inequity in the NSW Senior Secondary Curriculum Hierarchy
Philip Roberts, Jenny Dean, Garrett Lommatsch
This research examines potential inequalities in access to the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) Curriculum and HSC achievement. The research has undertaken a comprehensive study of curriculum access and achievement in the NSW HSC, with reference to the socio-cultural characteristics of students and schools. It has done so in order to understand the influences upon access to, and achievement in, the NSW HSC at an individual and institutional (school) level.
The research raises questions about why some subjects are studied more than others and related equity implications or implications for practice in these subjects. Through these results, the curriculum can be seen as a vehicle of educational achievement, and not as comprising neutral subjects of equal value. Instead, the curriculum operates as a system to reinforce social status. This system increasingly funnels low socio-economic status, and non-metropolitan, students into subjects with lower average achievement levels and into vocational education subjects. To improve equity, we need to ensure all students have access to higher-status powerful subjects or ensure all subjects are valued equally.

In the 1980s, the company grew through rapid international expansion, as subsidiaries were established in the U.S., Italy, and Sweden. Planmeca USA, the North American subsidiary, was the first to introduce Finland's concept of a software-driven dental care unit. In the 1990s, and 2000s the company experienced a period of revolutionary and innovative development garnering over 400 patents. Upon the release of Planmeca Romexis 4.0, the workflow of imaging and CAD/CAM became much more integrated. Planmeca Romexis' all-in-one software was the first dental software program to combine 2D/3D imaging and CAD/CAM workflows from implantology to restorations in the same platform. The launch of this groundbreaking software simplified clinician workflow and placed Planmeca USA in the enviable position of being able to offer complete imaging, CAD/CAM, software, dental unit, and dental cabinetry solutions.
As recently as this year, Planmeca USA consisted of two divisions, the Imaging Division based in Roselle, Illinois and the CAD/CAM Division located in Richardson, Texas. Each division concentrated on providing advanced digital products to their respective areas within the dental industry. The next logical step was to fully integrate the knowledge and expertise of both divisions into one.
Moving forward, Planmeca USA combined its imaging division's sales, marketing, education, and customer support departments with their CAD/CAM counterparts. The goal: provide customers with a more seamless solution and support experience. This new integration will benefit current owners, and potential new users by offering the combined technologies, experience, and know-how of a completely digital workflow. Planmeca USA's sales representatives can be a single resource for all the imaging and CAD/CAM needs of dental professionals. This includes the ability to educate, support, and promote a seamless digital solution — from diagnosis through implant therapy and restorations.

Disability and Armed Conflict: episode 4

in Focus by Barbara Caltabiano
Thanks to the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2008, a new human rights-based approach has been implemented. Consequently, it has been made possible to shift the paradigm on disability from regarding persons with disabilities as objects of medical care and charity to recognizing them as subjects of rights. However, does this new approach effectively influence reality? How can the hurdles be overcome?
The last episode of the Disability and Armed conflict series will outline the key findings in combination with the major recommendations regarding how to overcome the challenges related to the conditions under which persons with disabilities live in conflict zones.
As constantly underlined in the series' episodes, armed conflicts have a disproportionate impact on people with disabilities, in each phase of the conflict. Such impact remains largely underreported, further making people with disabilities so-called "invisible victims", meaning the first ones to be forgotten. As previously seen, one in seven people has a disability, but most likely even more during conflict. The impact on these people is believed to be disproportionate because the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) provisions which aim to minimize such impact are not being applied in a diversity inclusive manner.
In this regard, the recognition and the empowerment of this vulnerable category would allow these people to act as agents of change, giving them equal access to humanitarian policy design, implementation and monitoring. International and humanitarian organisations have a stronger responsibility to ensure that their services are fully accessible to all persons, especially those with disabilities. In addition, militaries should also receive training on disability rights and diversity.
Furthermore, due to the lack of reliable and comprehensive quantitative and qualitative data, it is not possible to estimate and understand the intersectional and multidimensional discrimination that people with disabilities face. As underlined by the Geneva Academy, only once comprehensive data sets are available can advocacy, resources, policy and practice be developed to respond to their lived experience and overcome the obstacles to reach a proper IHL protection. In this spirit, States are not the only actors to be accountable for data collection. All humanitarian organizations need to calibrate their services and practices in conflict areas according to the data they should be collecting to also test the accessibility of their services. To do so, humanitarian personnel should be given training on disability inclusive data collection.
In addition, as stated in article 11 of the CRPD, the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is required to understand whether the State in question is taking all the "necessary measures" in accordance with its obligations under IHL and CRPD to ensure full protection and safety of persons with disabilities. However, although the Committee is the main interpreter of both bodies of law, no jurisprudence concerning the implementation of the two instruments has been developed yet. In accordance with article 34 of the CRPD, it is thus required that the Committee ensures it enhances its IHL capacity by also recruiting members that are experts with competence and experience in disability and IHL.
As urged by Rau Barriga, Disability rights director at Human Rights Watch, UN member states and the Secretary-General are strongly encouraged to commit to protecting people with disabilities in armed conflict, by taking a more inclusive and participatory approach towards this category. In this spirit, the Security Council should instruct peacekeeping missions and relevant UN bodies to consult and involve people with disabilities in emergency and humanitarian response.
In conclusion, the key to move beyond words and ensure the effective protection of people with disabilities is to develop inclusive plans providing structural access to basic services like shelter, sanitation, mental health support, and education. Additional resources are strongly needed to ensure the adequate evacuation of civilians with disabilities from areas of hostilities.

Howmore Chapel
One of the most significant historic sites in the Western Isles, Howmore is a complex of churches, chapels, and a burial ground, on a site that may have been used in pre-Christian times. The main chapel dates to at least the 8th century and may stand on a prehistoric site levelled to make way for the new buildings. Much of the site is enclosed within a short wall of 19th-century provenance.
There is some suggestion that the first Christian presence at Howmore dates as far back as the 6th century; evidence for this suggestion comes from an early cross-marked grave slab found amid the ruins.
What we do know for certain is that there are at least two medieval churches and two surviving chapels at Howmore. A third chapel was recorded in the 19th century but this has now disappeared.
During the medieval Lordship of the Isles, Howmore became a centre of learning, and after the Reformation it was used as the burial place for Clanranald chiefs.
The 6th-century grave slab
Amid the ruins is the old parish church, Teampull Mor/Mhoire, now nothing more than a section of the east gable pierced by two 13th century windows. To the east is a section of a second church, Caibeal Dhiarmid, again represented by a single gable end.
Just outside the enclosed graveyard stands the roofless ruin of Caibeal Dubhghaill (Dugall's Chapel), and to the north-east is Chlann 'ic Ailein (Clanranald's chapel), probably 16th century, but incorporating bits of medieval stone which may suggest that it was an earlier medieval structure modified for use by Clanranald. This is likely the burial aisle recorded as erected by John MacDonald of Clanranald (d.1574).
The Howmore complex is a fascinating place to visit; it positively oozes antiquity and an aura of history. Howmore itself is worth exploring; there are several attractive thatched cottages of a traditional type rarely found on Uist today.
The Clanranald Stone
The most celebrated historical artefact found at Howmore is the so-called Clanranald Stone, a stone panel carved with the Clanranald arms. For many years the panel lay against a wall of the in the decaying graveyard. Carved of granite brought from Carsaig, on Mull, the stone dates to the late 16th or early 17th century. It is about 75cm x 80cm and weighs a hefty 160kg.
Note the weight and then consider the determination necessary to carry the stone away unnoticed. Yet that is exactly what happened; in 1990 the Clanranald Stone disappeared from the Howmore site without a trace.
You might expect that the story ends there, but you'd be wrong. Five years later, the family of Lawrence Maben of London were cleaning out his flat after Lawrence's untimely death at the age of 33. They found an oddly carved stone, and notified the British Museum, on the off-chance it was important. It was. The Clanranald Stone was cleaned up and returned to Uist, none the worse for wear, and it is now on view at the Kildonan Museum.
But yet again the story does not end there. When news of the stone's recovery was reported, it was with no little drama and a fair bit of sensationalist journalism. According to the news reports, the stone was cursed, and it was this curse that had led to Lawrence Maben's early death.
Old folklore from Uist tradition was resurrected, to the effect that anyone desecrating a grave site will be cursed and meet an untimely death. Was the stone cursed? I'll leave that for you to decide.
To get to the chapel site, follow signs for the Youth Hostel, which is located immediately uphill of the chapel site.
