Framing the Future or Re-framing the Past: Curriculum Choices for the next Decade

For those of you who are able to stay a little bit longer in these parts, if you are making your way down south to the wine or big timber country, that is the Warren Blackwood education district of which I have the privilege to be the District Director. The Warren Blackwood is a centre for educational excellence in Western Australia. Schools are in recess at the moment, of course, but if you are travelling through the area, you would be welcome to take a walk around some of the school sites. At Vasse primary school, for instance, the original single-roomed school building has been retained and maintained on site. If you are in Margaret River, take a walk around the high school grounds and view the beautiful wrought iron gates that have been incorporated into the new section of the building. If you are in big timber territory, take a moment to stroll around the Pemberton District High School site. This school has been constructed out of rammed earth and is a wonderful learning centre.
