Talk:Calamvale Community College

Article Development
After making a few minor edits over the last few months I have came to the conclusion that this page is in need of a major overhaul. The quality of the article is sub par and provides an inaccurate representation of the school. I think we can begin to redevelop the article by developing a list of sections we feel are essential to the article.Techhead55 (talk) 11:16, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Please edit the executive principal information in the InfoBox to Lisa Starmer, rather than Kaine Emberson and Stephanie Lopez (these are incorrect names, not belonging to staff at the school).

{{Infobox school {{reflist-talk}}
 * principal             = Cameron Macindoe
 * principal_label       = Executive Principal

Please update the 'Staff List' section as it is outdated. Currently states incorrect executive principal:

Executive Principal: Kathryn Kayrooz

Should instead state:

Executive Principal: Lisa Starmer

Removed promo and puffery
The following unsourced puffery and blatantly promotional material has been removed from the article. Wikipedia is not a BBS where you can promote your school. I have further removed the larding in the lead. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 08:39, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Former Prime Minister of Australia John Howard and Federal Member for Moreton Gary Hardgrave paid a special visit to tour Calamvale Community College on Tuesday 17 May 2005. Flanked by security and the media, the Prime Minister had been invited by Mr Hardgrave to visit the college to see firsthand the wonderful advances in education the school is making. He was particularly interested in the progress of the exciting Senior School, which he said he had heard much about.

Areas
Close links have already been developed with Algester State School, our main feeder school, through a partnership in the New Basics trial and teachers are working together to ensure that all students have a smooth transition into the Middle School at Calamvale Community College.

As teachers plan and develop curriculum in their POD teams, mentors from a variety of agencies have worked with teachers, on-the-job. This has proved to be a very powerful model of professional development. As teachers have devised curriculum in unfamiliar territory, for example robotics, they have utilised the students' excursion to the university as a training opportunity for staff as well as students.

The College has been proactive in developing links with the universities that are establishing Middle Schooling teaching qualifications. These links, not only inform our current practices, but also provide important recruitment opportunities for the future.

As the Senior School develops, a range of links will be forged allowing students and other community members to have access to VET programs, both on and off site, delivered by both teachers from TAFE and other providers and the school's staff. Links with universities will be developed to provide enrichment and extension programs for talented students.

Sporting Links
The Brisbane City Council will ultimately own the three ovals as part of a land swap with Education Queensland. Education Queensland will develop a Memorandum of Understanding with BCC and various sporting clubs to coordinate the maintenance, development and use of sporting facilities with the school. The P&C is managing use of the tennis courts out-of-hours. A successful submission to the Queensland Gaming Fund has enabled the upgrade of one set of hard courts which will also be available for hire out-of-hours.

Awards Night
Awards Night is an annual ceremony that celebrates the achievement and success of students. The categories include merit awards, where the student displays a positive attitude towards their learning, academic awards, in which the student achieves the highest level of academic achievement and sporting awards, in which the student has represented the school at regional level or above. There are also other awards, including academic excellence, sporting excellence, community awards and leadership awards. VET awards, Caltex all rounder, Defence Force are also awards. However the highest possible achievement is the Dux of College, in which a year 12 student receives it for outstanding achievements in academic and other areas of the curriculum.

 * I have removed the infobox as it was an unnecessary addition to this talk page. In addition, you have been making edits to this page already and, therefore, this edit semi-protected request is unnecessary. --Stabila711 (talk) 04:33, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
