Last week at our parent information evening I spoke for a few minutes on our school’s vision and why we might do things that are different from their personal images of primary school. I used this video to demonstrate how the world was changing and what the implications might be for their children as they competed for jobs in an international market. The video, which was developed by a team of American high school teachers to stimulate discussions on the future, is an updated version of what I showed the staff some 8 months ago. I have embedded the video in my blog as a resource for parents.

Hi Mark, I found your comments on the iNet conference very interesting re the difficulties of bringing in changes and the need to consult with all stakeholders including the students! Parents Victoria have their own on-line conference commencing on 26 May and it would be great if you could encourage your parents to join in and maybe even look at reaffiliating with Parents Victoria. The address to register is http://www.cybertext.net.au/pv08.htm You should also receive more information shortly via DEECD. I also enjoyed the video about how the world is changing. I would like to show it at our Annual Conference this year.
Best regards
Elaine Crowle
President Parents Victoria
