PRELIMINARY HSC &HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
Wollumbin High School
Congratulations on your commitment to continuing your studies towards your Higher School Certificate. This commitment is an important one and requires a great deal of thought, preparation and research. Please read this booklet carefully before making your final course selections.
Where a decision has been made to return to school, course choice becomes extremely important. Your choice of courses will significantly determine your options after you leave school.
This handbook contains descriptions of all of the courses that are available for selection by students who enrol in the 2013 PreliminaryCourse (i.e. Year 11) at Banora Point High School, Kingscliff High School, Murwillumbah High School, Tweed River High School or Wollumbin High School. Students and parents/caregivers must read this information carefully as it forms the basis for making choices about subjects and courses for 2013/2014
This handbook has been produced to inform you of the organisation of the Tweed 5 Program and the Higher School Certificate. It gives you information on the courses available and where they could lead you. The detail provided for each course ensures that you understand the commitment required to complete each course successfully.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
Study in senior school requires a significant step-up in responsibility.
Successful senior school study requires:
The ability to set sound goals for the future;
Commitment to completing set tasks in given time frames, additional reading and research;
Motivation to study;
A commitment to abide by the school policies including those regarding the wearing of the school uniform, school rules and attendance.
Please note it is recommended that 18 hours be spent on homework and study per week for Preliminary courses and up to 24 hours per week for HSC courses.
Remember, all courses in the senior school require considerable effort and commitment. There are no easy courses. The courses in this handbook have been selected to support the ambitions of a wide variety of students.
SELECTING COURSES
A HSC education is not intended to be entirely vocational in orientation.
A broad education is an asset to any person and students should feel encouraged to participate in
courses they find enjoyable and stimulating.
A number of questions need to be considered by students when choosing courses:
What are my likes and dislikes?
Where do my abilities lie?
What will motivate me?
What are my realistic career options?
Do I envisage pursuing tertiary study and if so which path should I use to pursue it?
Students should think carefully about their course choices. The senior years should be academically challenging and enjoyable. Success will be based on individual performance, not simply on course choices. Students should NOT choose courses based on the assumption that some grant a mark advantage by virtue of the examination scaling process. This assumption is wrong. The scaling process is based on the student's performance and the quality of the candidature state wide. For students who do not achieve well in a course, scaling will not assist them. Individual students need to achieve at a high level to score a high HSC mark. Students should not select courses below or above their ability level in order to try and maximise marks, nor should they choose courses just because their friends do or because they like the teacher.
Discuss with and seek advice from a wide range of people including your parents/caregivers, head teachers, subject teachers, year advisor and career adviser before making your final course selections.
Additionally, students need to be absolutely sure which HSC courses, if any, are required for entry to the careers or further education pathways they are considering. This information is available from the careers adviser.
Students should choose courses based on interest, ability and need for entry to further education or career.
T5 SHARED CURRICULUM PROGRAM
The Tweed 5 Program (T5) is an initiative from the government secondary schools in the Tweed Valley which began in 2012.
The program will see Banora Point High School, Kingscliff High School, Murwillumbah High School, Tweed River High School and Wollumbin High School working as one with our community to ensure positive and productive learning and exciting futures for our young people.
The five Tweed Valley government high schools are again combining their senior school course offerings to provide the broadest possible range of courses, taught by teachers who are highly qualified and committed to supporting and inspiring students to achieve their best in their school studies. The program is also strongly committed to improving the performance of our students at the HSC.
Courses will be offered to students in one of two modes; normal mode or shared mode. The provision of shared mode courses will greatly increase the number of courses available to students in our schools.
Normal mode courseswill be taught in a school by a teacher from that school and delivered to students from that school. This is the same way most classes where taught in Years 7-10. The significant majority of courses in all schools will be offered in this mode.
Shared mode courseswill be taught by a teacher to students from a number of schools. Shared mode courses may be delivered by a variety of methods including video conferencing, using Bridgit and Moodle or having students from a number of schools travelling to a course (much like current TAFE VET course delivery.) The specific arrangements of the delivery of any shared mode class will be discussed with all affected students prior to the student's final selection of that course.
It is important to note that the T5 program may still not be able to provide for students selections in every instance. Student numbers and the quality of delivery will determine which courses will finally run in both normal and shared modes.
For additional information about T5 shared mode delivery, see the T5 co-ordinator in your school.
The course information contained in the rest of this booklet has been supplied by the Board of Studies. The material included in the booklet has been reproduced for the information of students and parents. All details were correct at the time of printing. However, the Higher School Certificate regularly undergoes change. Students and parents should check with Head Teachers or on the Board of Studies website in regard to all aspects of the courses they are considering undertaking next year.
PATHWAYS TO THE HSC
There are a number of methods of gaining a HSC. To gain a HSC a student can:
Complete two years of senior schooling – satisfactorily complete courses at the Preliminary HSC level followed by the HSC level.
Accumulate the HSC over a period of up to five years. The five year period commences in the first year the student attempts a HSC course examination. By the end of the period of accumulation, students must have met all Preliminary and HSC patterns of study requirements. This would suit students interested in part-time study.
Vocational Education & Training courses where the skills (competencies) achieved are recognised by both the Board of Studies (for the HSC) and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The AQF accreditation is nationally recognised by industry, employers and other training providers. These courses provide an invaluable start to a career where skills attained contribute directly to the requirements of the particular industry.
School Tailored Programs. Some schools offer a tailored program of study with a strong focus on vocational outcomes including the achievement of Certificate II qualifications and the development of employability skills. Contact your school's careers adviser to see if your school offers such a pathway.
Repeating courses.Students may repeat one or more HSC courses, but this must be done within the five year accumulation period. In the calculation of the ATAR, the most recent mark in the course will be used. It is not based on the best mark scored during the times the course was repeated.
Recognition of Prior Learning. Students may be granted credit transfer, that is, be able to count studies in educational institutions such as TAFE towards your HSC. Students may also be granted advanced standing; that is, be exempted from some components of the HSC courses if they can demonstrate achievement of syllabus outcomes in another way.
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships. School-based traineeships are contracts of part-time employment, which includes formal training. The formal training will be counted as units of study toward your HSC. Students will still be at school while working part-time. Participants will complete an average of 8-12 hours per week of on-the-job training. A training wage is paid while at work. There will be an opportunity to complete additional hours during the school holidays.
Students must be committed to maintaining a sound level of achievement in all HSC subjects. Working part-time whilst studying presents some students a time management challenge.
School-based traineeships are explained in more detail later in this handbook.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE "HSC"
To be awarded the HSC a student must:
Satisfactorily complete courses that meet the pattern of study required by the Board of Studies for the award of the Higher School Certificate. This includes the completion of the practical, oral or project works required for specific courses and the assessment requirements for each course.
Sit for, and made a serious attempt at, the Higher School Certificate examinations.
Study a minimum of 12 units for the Preliminary Higher School Certificateand a minimum of 10 units for the Higher School Certificate. The pattern of study for the Preliminary HSC and the HSC must include the following:
An English course; either English Standard, English Advanced or English Studies
At least two other Board Developed Courses of 2 unit value or greater
At least four subject areas
At most, 6 units of courses in Science can contribute to Higher School Certificate eligibility.
The Board of Studies publication, Studying for the New South Wales Higher School Certificate – An Information Booklet for Year 10 Students, contains all the HSC rules and requirements for the HSC. See your year adviser for a copy
For students seeking an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), the pattern of study must include a minimum of 10 Board Developed units in the HSC year, including at least 2 units of an English Board Developed course. The booklet, University Entry Requirements 2013 Year 10 Booklet contains important information about entry to university courses (mainly NSW Universities), course prerequisites and other information to assist in making appropriate selections of HSC courses for study in Year 11 and 12 in preparation for university entry. Copies are available in the Careers Office or they can be purchased from UAC. See your Year Advisor for more details.
For those not wishing to receive an ATAR, once the six units of Board Developed Courses are selected, the rest of the courses may be made up from Board Endorsed Courses.
WHAT ARE "UNITS"?
The following is a guideline to help explain the pattern of courses.
All courses offered for the Higher School Certificate have a unit value. Most courses are 2 units' courses however; some have a value of 1 unit or 3 units.
Each unit involves class time of approximately 2 hours each week or 60 hours each year. In the HSC each unit has a value of 50 marks. Hence, a 2 unit course has a value of 100 marks.
The majority of courses are offered as 2 unit courses. However, Extension 1 courses are available in a number of courses. Extension 1 courses require students to work beyond the standard of the content of the 2 unit course.
Extension 1 courses carry a value of 1 unit and a mark value of 50.
Extension 1 courses are available at the Preliminary stage in English and mathematics only.
Extension 2 courses are available in English and mathematics as well as Extension 1 courses in history, music, some languages and VET at the HSC stage.
Some Board Developed VET courses have extension courses called "specialisation studies" at a value of 1, 2,3 and 4 units.
Satisfactory completion of the Preliminary Extension 1 course is required before enrolment in any Extension 2 HSC course. Extension 2 courses require students to work beyond the standard of the content of the Extension 1 course. Extension 2 courses must be taken concurrently with the corresponding Extension 1 course. Extension 2 courses have a mark value of 50 marks.
2 units = 4 hours each week / 120 hours each year = 100 marks
TYPES OF COURSES
There are four different types of courses offered in Years 11 and 12.
Board Developed Courses
These courses are developed by the Board of Studies (BOS). There is a syllabus for each course, which contains:
The course objectives, structure, content and outcomes
Specific course requirements
Assessment requirements
Sample examination papers and marking guidelines
The performance scale (except for Vocational Education and Training Courses)
All students entered for the HSC who are studying these courses follow the same course syllabus.
Board Developed Courses are examined externallyat the end of the HSC course and can count towards the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
Board Developed courses are categorised as either Category A or Category B for the purposes of calculating the ATAR. For students seeking an ATAR only ONE Category B Board Developed course will count towards the ATAR score.
Board Endorsed Courses
There are two main types of Board Endorsed Courses – Content Endorsed Courses and School Designed Courses.
Content Endorsed Courses (CEC) have a syllabus endorsed by the Board of Studies to cater for areas of special interest not covered in the Board Developed Courses.Most HSC VET (Vocational Education and Training) courses delivered by TAFE are Content Endorsed Courses.
Schools Design Coursesare special courses designed by individual schools to meet student needs. The Board of Studies must approve these courses. Once approval is granted, schools offer selected courses to senior students as part of the Higher School Certificate.
Note: Some Board Endorsed Courses are one-year courses.
There is no external examination for any Content Endorsed Course or School Designed Course, but all Board Endorsed Courses count towards the Higher School Certificate and appear on your Record of Achievement. Board Endorsed Courses do not count in the calculation of an ATAR.
Vocational Education & Training (VET) Courses
Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate. VET courses are either Board Developed or Board Endorsed courses. They enable students to study courses which are industry specific and have clear links to post-school destinations. These courses allow students to gain both Higher School Certificate qualifications and accreditation with industry and the workplace as part of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The national framework is recognised across Australia and helps students to move easily between the various education and training sectors and employment. These courses each have a workplace component specifying a minimum number of hours that students must spend in the workplace or a simulated workplace at school. Students receive special documentation showing the competencies gained. Schools will deliver some of these courses, while TAFE or other providers will deliver others.
All VET courses count towards the Higher School Certificate and appear on your Record of Achievement. However, only Board Developed VET courses count in the calculation of an ATAR. These are generally classes as Category BBoard developed Courses and as so only ONE can count towards the ATAR score. For more information on VET courses refer to the VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET) COURSES section of this booklet.
Some common characteristics apply to these courses:
Learning occurs both in structured workplace training and the classroom.
Successful completion of a full 240 hour VET course within a Board Developed VET Framework provides students with an opportunity to achieve an AQF qualification at certificate II or III level. Students successfully completing less than the requirements for a qualification level i.e. 120 hour course or exiting a course early will receive a Statement of Attainment outlining the competencies achieved.
Study of these courses involves spending a mandatory minimum number of hours in a structured work placement in an actual workplace setting where learning certain prescribed skills and knowledge occurs. Work placement is an HSC requirement. Failure to complete a structured work placement will jeopardise the course result and may jeopardise the HSC.
Some of these courses can be studied in schools while others can be studied at TAFE Institutes or with other training providers. It could be a combination of learning experiences.
The T5 group of schools will be offering students the opportunity to study the following VETIndustry Framework courses in our schools:
Primary Industries - Agriculture
Primary Industries - Horticulture
Aquaculture is also offered as a VET course. This course is an endorsed course so does not contribute towards an ATAR.
Alternatively, the North Coast Institute of TAFE will offerTVET courses specifically designed to meet local needs. It is important to note that TAFE may not be able to provide student selections in every instance.Refer to the VET Courses TAFE Delivered section of this booklet for a list of available courses.
All VET Frameworks are Category B courses and may contribute up to 2 units towards an ATAR.
Students have the option to sit for a HSC examination in all the courses listed above to have them count towards an ATAR.
The North Coast Institute of TAFE at Kingscliff and Murwillumbah campuses also offer a wide variety of VET Board Endorsed Courses which count towards your HSC. These courses will NOT counttowards an ATAR.Refer to the VET Courses TAFE Delivered section of this booklet for a list of available courses.
Students need to carefully consider their own circumstances before selecting these courses as students are responsible for getting themselves to the venues on time each week. The majority of courses conclude after school hours and students make their own way home. Due to extended class time, attendance is critical to the successful completion of course requirements.
See your careers adviser or the TVET Guide for a full list of VET courses available.
Life Skills Course (as part of a special program of study)
Stage 6 (Years 11 & 12) Life Skills Courses will be available for students following a Special Program of Study for the Higher School Certificate.
Students accessing a Special Program of Study in Stage 6 will, in general, need to have completed at least four Generic Life Skills courses within a Special Program of Study in Stage 5 (Years 9 and 10). Further, participation in a Special Program of Study will be based upon an individual transition-planning process, which will occur for both the Preliminary and HSC years.
Life Skills courses have Board Developed status and can be used in place of other Board Developed Courses to meet requirements for the award of the Higher School Certificate. Each Life Skills course comprises a 2 unit Preliminary course and a 2 unit HSC course.
The Board expects that most students meet the outcomes for a 2 unit Preliminary course and a 2 unit HSC course over a total of 240 indicative hours. That is, 120 indicative hours of study will occur in each level of the course.
There is no external examination for any Life Skillscourses but all Life Skills courses count towards the Higher School Certificate and appear on your Record of Achievement. Life Skills courses do not count in the calculation of an ATAR.
For more information on Life Skills courses see the careers adviser.SCHOOL BASED APPRENTICESHIPS & TRAINEESHIPS (SbATs)
School Based Apprenticeships / Traineeships aim to make Years 11 & 12 work for you by combining employment, qualifications and the HSC. Satisfactory completion of the traineeship provides a minimum of 4 unitstowardsthe HSC. The 4 units total generally comes from 2 units of the appropriate TVET course and 2 units from workplace training and experience. School Based Traineeships suit any student who is keen to get a head start in an apprenticeship in their preferred industry area.At the end of Year 12 students will not only receive their Higher School Certificate but will have valuable experiences and a qualification.
All successfully completed School Based Traineeships in NSW gain a Certificate of Proficiency and nationally recognised qualification. The qualification will be recognised by industry under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Completing Certificate II means students will have completed a minimum of 240 hrs of formal training in the work place or simulated work place.
Gaining a School Based Apprenticeship/Traineeship follows the same process as securing a part-time job. Students and their families need to approach their potential employers with their resume. If an employer is interested in employing the young person in a SbAT, the employers contact details should be presented to the careers adviser who will liaise with the DET School Based Apprentice/Traineeship Coordinator and the prospective employer.
School Based Apprenticeship/Traineeships are also available to currently employed school students, who have been employed for less than 12 months on a casual basis.
Students must commit to completing a part-time apprenticeship during Years 11 and 12 then full time after completion of the HSC for the remaining term of the apprenticeship. Students must attend TAFE to complete Stage 1 of their trade course. This counts as part of the HSC. Students must also complete a minimum of 7 hours work each week which may have to be undertaken on a school day. Students must also be prepared to work some days, evenings, weekends and holidays to accumulate the required work placement hours needed for satisfactory completion of the School Based Apprenticeship/Traineeship. At the end of Year 12 students commence full time with their employer for the remaining term of your apprenticeship.
Please note: Students are required to keep up to date with the course work and assessment tasks in all their other courses.
Apprenticeships Available
School Based Apprenticeships/Traineeships are available in a wide range of trade areas including:
Beauty / Hairdressing
Carpentry and Joinery
Electrotechnology
Metals and Engineering

AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSIONS RANK - ATAR
The AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSIONS RANK (ATAR) is calculated by the universities.
It is likely students will need an ATAR if they are considering applying for a university, Qld TAFE Diploma courses, ADFA or the Police Force after leaving school.
Eligibility for an ATAR.
To be eligible for an ATAR a student must satisfactorily complete at least ten Board Developed units, including at least two units of English.Please note that the course English Studies does not meet ATAR requirements.
At least eight units must be Category A courses.
Courses completed must include at least three Board Developed courses of two units or greater and at least four subjects: see (a) below.
Calculation of the ATAR.
The ATAR will be based on an aggregate of scaled marks in ten units of Board Developed courses comprising:
your best two units of English; and
your best eight units from the remaining units. No more than two units of Category B courses will be included.
Important Notes.
A subject is the general name given to an area of study. A course is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have different courses, for example, with the subject English, the courses will include English Standard, English Studies, English Advanced and English Extension.
Courses are categorised as either Category A or Category B. Only one Category B course can be included in the calculation of an ATAR.
Board Endorsed Courses are not considered in the calculation of an ATAR.
Students may accumulate courses over a period of no more than five years.
If a student repeats a course only the last satisfactory attempt is used in the calculation of the ATAR.
HSC COURSE SELECTION – Relevance to Career Planning
Students need to choose combinations of courses, which will best prepare them for entry to their preferred pathways after Year 12.
The main pathways after Year 12 are shown in the diagram below.
COMPLETE YEAR 12
PRIVATE TRAINING COLLEGE
A student's future pathway depends largely on his/her interests, abilities and career aspirations. This should be reflected in his/her choice of subjects.
Going to a University
Students who intend to pursue this option need to be fully aware of university course entrance requirements. The following information needs to be researched:
the broad range of courses offered at university.
what the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is and how it is calculated.
specific information regarding pre-requisites, assumed knowledge and recommended studies for courses.
additional selection criteria for certain courses e.g. audition, portfolio, supporting statements, questionnaires, tests and interviews.

Going to a TAFE College
TAFE offers vocational (job skills training) courses at Certificate I, II, III, & IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels.
Diploma, Advanced Diploma and some Certificate courses require the HSC and in some cases have specified pre-requisites.
For a number of Certificate courses the minimum level of school education required is the Year 10 Record of School Achievement. However many HSC students apply for these courses and often have a competitive edge in gaining entry if particular HSC courses have been studied. So make your HSC count by planning a HSC pattern of study around your preferred TAFE area of study.
Undertaking a School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship will greatly enhance your TAFE studies and employment opportunities after leaving school.
HSC/TAFE advanced standing & credit transfer
Students completing some HSC courses at a satisfactory level may count these towards a TAFE award. They will then not have to study certain courses or modules in TAFE courses.
Following are examples of clusters of HSC courses that will give students maximum advanced standing in various TAFE courses.
Economics + Business Studies = students gains advanced standing for approximately 50% of the Banking Certificate III
Business Studies + Computing = advanced standing for 66% of the Small Business Enterprise Certificate
Hospitality + PD/H/PE + Computing + Maths = advanced standing for 57% of the Accommodation Services, Level 2 Certificate
Computing + Engineering Studies + Physics + Maths 2U = advanced standing for 36% of the Mechanical Engineering Associate Diploma.
For further information about clusters of subjects or Credit Transfer generally, students should contact their school careers adviser.
Going to TAFE then a University
Students should also know that on successfully completing a TAFE qualification they can progress to higher level courses at TAFE and ultimately into a university course if they so desire. At each new level of study, Advanced Standing can be granted on the basis of courses already completed e.g. The TAFE Diploma in Child Studies is usually an acceptable qualification for entry to a Bachelor of Education course at university with advanced standing given in some subjects. This pathway of progression to higher levels of qualification is useful for students who miss out on getting into a higher level course directly from school, yet wish to improve their career prospects with higher levels of study.

Going to study with Private Providers
Students who complete their HSC studies can elect to undertake vocational training in courses offered by private providers. It is important for students to check directly with these institutions for entrance requirements.
Information on local private providers including TURSA Employment & Training Inc, On Q Group Training, Tweed Recruitment and Mission Employment is available from the Careers Adviser.
Going to Direct Employment
Some students return to school with the intention of gaining employment on completion of their HSC or possibly before they complete their HSC.
Certain employers such as the Australian Armed Forces have HSC requirements.
Other forms of employment may not require specific HSC subjects or even the HSC itself (e.g. Apprenticeships, Traineeships). However a student's chance of gaining employment in many fields will be considerably enhanced if they perform well in related courses at HSC level.

A Fun Filled But Powerful Interview With Daniel Kaluuya & Leticia Wright #BlackPantherEvent
Posted in #blackpanther, #BlackPantherEvent, #blackpantherpremiere, #blackpanthersolit, #marvel, #Movie, Review	by Queen Thrifty
While in Los Angeles during the Black Panther world premiere I had the chance to sit down with Daniel Kaluuya and Leticia Wright during a roundtable interview filled with laughter and a dose of reality.
During the first five minutes of the interview, I learned that Daniel and Leticia are like brother and sister they've known one another for a long time. To prepare physically for their roles in Black Panther they each had to participate in sword training. Here is what Daniel had to say " we did a lot of sword training from scratch. I think what was amazing, everyone had to have their own fighting style that reflects their character. We did a lot on the on the fly that's why the film is so amazing."
I was thrilled to hear their reactions regarding social media and how in London the goal is to work and walk away with the hopes of empowering others never to look back. I thought this was a great perspective to have especially when you're working hard and critics are watching sometimes stating out of the spotlight is a good thing. They're both still young and deserve to enjoy their personal lives off the set.
Leticia was able to do a little honest ad lib with her script which at times made us cry and laugh in the audience during the world premiere. In person her personality was huge and her smile was bright and welcoming.
When asked what message they would like to get across watching the film Black Panther, their response made me smile. "I understood the magnitude of Shuri in this, in the comic books. I understood where her arc is and where her journey is and it's huge. But, what I had to do was take a dose out of the books and just be humble." Leticia had a lot more to say, but her goal was to inspire others and be a vessel by the grace of God.
Here's what Daniel had to say " it's about joy, it's about brother and sister, it's about family, it's about community, it's about pride. I think so many people are just so excited about being represented in a film and so for us this is just an amazing accomplishment. But, you are representing a black princess on film and you are modernizing in a way that girls I think around the world, and boys too, are gonna be so excited about. I didn't even think about approaching this like wow I'm actually gonna be inspiring people and I'm gonna be a black princess on screen.' said Danel with the biggest grin ever on his face. Everyone in the room sat quietly for a second and smiles before heading out for a group photo.
The interview with Daniel and Leticia was down to earth and straight to the point. They were super easy to relate to and you can tell they both enjoyed speaking with us. When it was time to go they ask to stay haha! Since this is a no spoiler interview stay tune I'll be added back more of the interview after the premiere of Black Panther on 2/16.
Marvel Studios' "Black Panther" follows T'Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to take his rightful place as King. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

Q: Is there functionality to change PyQt default colors? Is there a way to change the universal default colors of a Qt application?  For example is there a way to set the colors to show up as the dark grey color of the graphs instead of the default light grey. I can go through and set everything individually...but I thought I would check to see if there is an easy way just to set a default instead?

A: You can use Qt Style Sheets  with API QApplication::setStyleSheet()

Our Vision, Values and Ethos
Friends of Witley
Witley C of E Infant School is located in the village of Witley, near Godalming in Surrey. It was established in 1836 as the only school in the entire parish. It benefits from having a beautiful and historic main building, which is both impressive and full of character. The school is officially described as a Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. This means that it is a church school, which is 'controlled' in terms of the funding by the Local Education Authority. This differs from a Church Aided School, which is funded by the Diocese.
The building consists of three classrooms, a library, a shared learning resource area, administration office and number of small meeting/group rooms. All classes are very well resourced with high quality equipment. Responsibility for the day-to-day running of the school lies with the Headteacher and Governors.
It's a good school with lots to do – it's like we are training our brains!
There are a number of grassed and hard play areas around the school. We also have the additional resource of an outdoor area for Environmental and Science work. The main playground is enhanced with permanent large wooden play facilities such as a house, boat and adventure trail.
Jubilee Hall
Our school hall is owned by the local community and we have sole use of it on a daily basis during term time. We hold the majority of our assemblies there and it is well equipped for PE lessons. It is also the place where we meet every day to enjoy our delicious lunches that are all cooked on site. Outside of school hours, the Hall is used by Cubs, Scouts, Guides and Beavers as well as other community groups.
Godalming Learning Partnership
Witley C of E Infant School is one of the Godalming Learning Partnership's sixteen schools and three Children's Centres who are working together, in partnership with the local community and beyond. This gives us better access to a wide range of services, activities, clubs and amenities for our children and their families and helps to ensure that everyone can thrive in school.
Most of our pupils continue their education at The Chandler C of E Aided Junior School.
The Chandler Junior School
At the end of Year Two, most of our children will continue their education at The Chandler C of E Aided Junior School. We have strong links between Witley Infants and The Chandler and our children are well supported during their transition.

Verse 13: "When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left Him until an opportune time".
Jesus heads out into the desert to fast for forty days as a preparation to begin ministry. During this time of denying self He is tested by the devil. The three temptations that we read about today come at the end of the 40 days. It is when Jesus is at His weakest that Satan tempts Him in these ways.
The first test concerns food. No food for 40 days – this is the perfect test. It gets right at Jesus' human need. How often does Satan tempt us here too? Yes, I deserve that bowl of ice cream or that drink. It was a hard day. Satan helps us twist things too. This can lead to accumulating things for ourselves and to not being generous with our gifts, talents, and time.
The third temptation comes down to testing God. Satan quotes from Psalm 91 in encouraging Jesus to put God to the test. Just jump off and God will save you. God's word says He will. Is it true? This idea can catch us too. We can be pretty good at trying to wheel and deal with God. Those if-then prayers are an attempt to bend God's will and plans to our will and plans. Like Satan we too can twist and cherry-pick scripture to try and get our way or to make our point. This too is a way to test God.
For each temptation, where does Jesus turn? He turns to scripture. In each case today, Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy. In each case, the bottom line is the same: trust in God, not in the things of man. This should be our model when we face temptation.
Our passage closes with this line: "When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left Him until an opportune time". Satan keeps coming back. Jesus was tested over and over and over. In the next moment of weakness or frustration or exhaustion, Satan came right back at Jesus. We too can expect the same. Satan is ever on the lookout for the next opportune time to test us. Like Jesus, may we also immerse ourselves in the word of God, ever readying ourselves for the next inevitable attack.
Prayer: Lord, may I dwell in your holy word so that it richly dwells in me. May it be my wellspring of life. Amen.

Exploring the Oversight of Risk Management in UK Higher Education Institutions: The Case of Audit Committees.
Restricted to Repository staff only until 27 March 2020.
We explore how audit committees (ACs) oversee risk management in UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), using semi-structured interviews, attendance at AC meetings and documentary analysis. We find that the AC's oversight seems constrained by a fixation on the process of risk management, an over-reliance on risk registers, and varying levels of emphasis on operational risks. Theoretically, the AC's oversight reflects different shades of symbolic and substantive activities designed to maintain the HEI's legitimacy and that of its governing board, hence providing a symbolic representation. We raise concerns as to the AC's ability to monitor effectively the HEIs' risk management practices.


Henrik Thulin, also known as ROM, hails from Sweden. He started gaming at age five after his older brother showed him how to use a computer. In the area he grew up in, nearly everyone had access to a PC, so it was easy to find the opportunity to play video games after school. He's been interested in player vs. player gaming since he was ten, and he describes himself as someone who thrives on facing other people in the competitive arena. It's no surprise that he also enjoys traditional sports.
ROM was a dedicated player of the original Guild Wars® and describes Guild Wars 2 as having been a natural choice for him. What he likes best about Guild Wars 2 PvP is the freedom offered by the combat system—although he also enjoys MOBAs, they don't provide the same feeling of customization and ownership that comes with having his own character. His favorite professions, warrior and ranger, give him the same opportunities for freedom, and he particularly enjoys having access to a wide range of skills that can be used without a specific target.
ROM describes his own team as "versatile, flexible, and with a good mentality." Because of that, he says it's important to get to know who they are as a team.
He says that the Abjured are consistent performers, reliably playing very well but reaching performance bursts less often.
ROM describes TCG as less consistent overall but very strong when they perform at their best.
Mark your calendars! You can catch ROM at the World Tournament Series Finals on 8 August at gamescom in Cologne, Germany. He and his team will be facing off against the top PvP teams from around the world for the lion's share of the $50,000 USD prize pool and the title of World Champion. Watch the action beginning at 8:00 a.m.UTC (1:00 a.m. Pacific Time), either in person at the ESL One booth or live on the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel, and stay tuned for a Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ feature announcement during the finals! North America vs. Europe vs. China—who do you stand behind? Tune in for this epic showdown, and show your favorite region some support!


The five-step Skin Care Management System includes a cleanser, rejuvenator, exfoliator, moisturizer, and SPF protectant that is easy to use and was designed for prolonged use with little to no irritation or acclimation. Results can be seen almost immediately following the first application and with daily use skin will appear noticeably smoother and healthier. By following this easy regimen, results will be sustained and improved over time.
I tried this skin care system for the past 7 days and am very happy with it!
My face generally breaks out the week before my period (hello teenage like hormones), and this time it did not.
My skin tone looks even, it was gentle on my sensitive skin, and I really enjoyed the clean smells of the products (very similar to a clean soap scent).
I love that you get a sunscreen step with this system that has SPF 30. I usually use a drug store sunscreen and then undoubtedly break out from it. I did not break out from this one!
The Skin Care Management Systems are available for multiple skin types in the Standard, Plus, and MD versions. Find your nearest retailer at www.janmarini.com. The System is also available in starter sizes that are compliant with T.S.A. carry-on regulations. The system was recently voted "The Best Skin Care System" by NewBeauty Magazine's Annual Beauty Choice Awards.

The ease of deploying containers is essential to Cloud. But how should it be implemented?
Deploying containers to the cloud is easy to scale horizontally (through cloning more containers), and vertically (through more CPU bandwidth). But how do you coordinate those application clusters across multiple developments and production environments? How do you maintain visibility of those containers at scale and organize the developers building them?
In this webinar, we work through an example of how you can leverage Scalr to easily deploy applications to Kubernetes clusters. We deploy several containerized Node.js applications into Kubernetes pods. Then, using the governance of the Scalr platform, set policies on our clusters specific to the application and their environments.

UPDATED: NCUA chairman responds to report, now public, about misconduct allegations at agency
Report alleged violations including misuse of official time, time/attendance fraud
March 6, 2020 NCUA 0
An Office of Inspector General (OIG) report addressing allegations of potential harassment within the federal credit union regulatory agency describes activities that are "unacceptable and do not represent the values of the agency," the chairman of the regulator's board said Friday.
The OIG report was posted late Friday, without notice, on the agency's website (see the link below). It outlines alleged violations in the agency's office of general counsel listed as "Misuse of Official Time, Illegal Drug Use, Time and Attendance Fraud."
Rodney Hood, chairman of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board, said in his statement that allegations of misconduct, "including allegations of behaviors that may have constituted harassment," came to light in November 2019 and were immediately reported to the agency's OIG. "Because the accusations involved possible abuse of work time, the Inspector General opened an investigation. The resulting investigative report was issued to the NCUA Board in February 2020," he said.
Hood said he was "surprised and disappointed" upon learning of the activities described in the report.
"Ensuring a professional work environment for all employees is a top priority," Hood said. "The NCUA is evaluating the organization's policies and processes for reporting allegations and is taking additional actions. These actions include requesting the NCUA Board create an Office of Ethics Counsel, supplementing our existing anti-harassment training programs, and offering additional third-party counseling services to employees."
He added, "Harassment and misconduct have no place at the NCUA. These types of behaviors are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The agency is committed to creating a culture where we treat every employee with the utmost respect and dignity."
A report by CUToday.info Friday says that publication had submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the report.
