It was with regret that the Counci I received the resignation of the College1s Foundation Principal, Mr. G, H. Duncan, OBE, MA(Syd), BEd(Melb), FACE, who retired at the end of March, 1975. The Minister, on 26th September, 1975, notified the appointment of the Principal-Elect, Dr. Edward Richardson, Bse, PhD, PCertEd(Lond), to fi II the casual vacancy on the Council created by Mr. Duncan's retirement, to hold office from the date of his appointment, 1st February, 1976.

Grant of Armorial Ens! s

The Councf1, in 1975, sought an artists design of the Col lege emblem, wh ch ha been in existence since the inception of the Col lege. The design retains the existing symbols (the Torch, the Rock and the Chains of Prometheus, symbol ising the torch of knowledge, the rock of despair and the chains of

6.

ignorance) in their relationship in existing versions of the College crest. The Council accepted the permanent design for presentation to the College of Heralds and the College has applied to the College of Arms for a Grant of Armorial Ensigns incorporating the proposed emblem.

BY- LA\>JS

The Colleges of Advanced Education Act empowers the College Council to make by-laws with respect to a wide range of matters for the management and good government of the Col lege. Further progress was made in the drafting of the College 1 s Principal By-law and in July, 1975 a draft of the By-law was submitted to th~ Advanced Education Board for the Ministerls approval in principle. The Advanced Education Board advised the College in December 1975 that no major issues of policy had been raised by the provisions included in the By-law,which had been referred to the Under Secretary of the Department of Attorney General and of Justice for advice as to whether the proposed By-law may legally be made. The Council was hopeful that the By-law would receive approval and be gazetted during 1976 and so make it possible to resolve in that year some of the difficulties of transition referred to in the corresponding Chapter of the Col1ege 1 s 1974 Report to the Minister.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTS

Stage I I of the new building complex at Waratah West was completed early in 1975, with the installation of further lighting and sound equipment in the College Auditorium. The major part of the new complex, established at a final cost of $8 mil lion, including buildings, furniture and equipment, had been completed by the end of 1974.

Work on two major projects commenced in 1975, the construction of the Special Education Centre and the modification of and extensions to the student car parking area.

The extension and renovation of the student car parking facilities were necessary as a result of the growth in student numbers and the more isolated situation of the College in its new location at Waratah West. With student enrolments increasing significantly beyond the numbers projected during the planning stages, the existing parking facilities were found to be Inadequate at the time of the transfer of all of the Col legels activities from the previous site In the city to the new complex.

The construction of the Special Education Centre, authorised under the States Grants (Advanced Education) legislation for the 1973/75 triennium, commenced on 10th June, 1975. This Centre, the first of its kind to be provided outside of Sydney, will enable the Col lege to fac! litate the consolidation and develop­ment of its courses and research in the field of special education, especially the provision of courses for the preparation of resource teachers and teachers of educationally handicapped children. Its purpose is to provide the opportunity for the teaching of special education courses in those aspects where clinical conditions are appropriate, and thus, to provide a service to the community. The co-operation of the College and the University of Newca~tle ;5 planned in the field of development and research in special education using th;s facility. Specifically, the bui lding has been planned to provide for the offe ing of courses dealing with learning disabi lities of the average child as well as for the understanding and the education of the handicapped child.

In the total complex there will be two major observation classrooms, four therapy/tutorial rooms, two clinic observations rooms. ten interview/consultant rooms, a conference room, reception area, playroom and office space.

The Art Diploma courses continue to be offered in premises of the Department of Technical and Further Education In Hunter Street, Newcastle West. Pre-planning of Stage I of a new Art School building, as recommended in the Fourth Report of the Commission on Advanced Education for the 1976/78 triennium, at the then estimated cost of $679,000, proceeded during the year. Unfortunately, further detailed planning of the Art School building had to be deferred as a consequence of the Australian Government's decision to defer for one year, until 1977, the commencement of a new triennium for the funding of capital projects.

During 1975, the College Councl J examined further proposals designed to provide improved access to, and internal road systems within, the College. This planning is necessary to overcome the dangers associated with the existing hazardous entrance to the College, located as it is slightly below the crest of a hill on a major industrial highway. The Counc; I sought the concurrence of the various au tho ities Involved, including the University of Newcastle, the Newcastle City Council and the Department of Main Roads, to the proposals, in anticipation that work on an alternative entrance could commence in 1976.

Some forty members of the academic staff and nine members of the non-teaching staff still shared, In 1975, group offices In tutoria"' rooms, diverted from their original purpose for use as offices, or were located in temporary bui Idings, transferred from the old College site, in 1974. Such space allocation means that, until the planned permanent extensions can be constructed, the original teaching function of the tutorial rooms - the Instruction of students in smaller groups - cannot be served. The p~e-planning of the extensions to provide additional academic staff offices and lecture rooms was completed to the detailed drawing stage, but further planning was deferred, again as a consequence of the deferral of the introduction of a new triennium for the funding of capital projects.

ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENTS

Course Devel t

TINO new diploma courses and one degree course were instituted in tne College in 1975 and planning was finalised for the introduction of new cour es, involving <,peeia1; t strand" within the course "leading to the Diploma in Teaching, In 19760

The College l s primary emphasis has been in the field of teacher education in which it provides a wide range of courses in teacher training, including a variety of specialist fields, at both diploma and graduate dlplornaleveiso The Co", lege commenced its plannin~~ for diversification into other course areas during 1974 when the Minister approved the proposal for the Col lege to assume the forrner re ponslbilitles of the Department of Techn cal and Further Educat'ion ,n offering advanced education courses in Painting and Sculpture. Consequently. arrangements were finalised for the College to take over the responsibility for the nne 1\ \: D:plorna courses formerly offered by the Department of Technical dnd Further Education at the Newcastle Branch of [he National Art School, and to assume fu!! responsibil ity for the Diploma in Art (Education) course which

IIlIe Iy hac! been offered in association w; th that DepdtI.lnenLo As a consequence of these deveJopmerlts, the Advanced EducdtioG Board approved the :(l,:OdlKtion In 1975 of four~yeClr full" ime (;OUrSe3 In 1\ t (PaInting and

U plure) and Art (Education). and subsequently approved the nomenclature of

8.

of the awards for these courses as Diploma in Art (abbreviation: Dip.Art) and Diploma in Art Education (abbreviation: Dip.Art Ed.).

The Advanced Education Board, In 1975, approved the introduction of the College's first degree course, a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Education in Industrial Arts, from 1st January, 1975. The Board approved of the three~'year/fourc'year programme in Industrial Arts education leading to the Diploma in Teaching and the Bachelor of Education in Industrial Arts, respectively. At the request of the Board, the College confirmed that the numbers admitted to the degree course strand would be arranged such that they approximate 20% of the 1st year intakes.

The College received in April, 1975, the Advanced Education Board's approval, following assessment, of the one-year full-time end-on course leading to the Diploma in Special Education, which had been introduced for the first time in 1974. The fundamental objective of the Special Education course is to provide an appropriate educational environment for experienced teachers that allows for professional and personal development through the study of theoretical and practical aspects of special education. It is intended that these teachers become more fully aware of the teaching strategies. techniques and curricula appropriate to the educational needs of a variety of children who may be said to be educationally at riskh The course is intended to give an understanding of the role of consultants such as the clinical psychologist, the school counsellor, physical and speech therapists and to provide opportunity for the teacher to act as a consultant to colleagues in diagnosing learning problems and structuring appropriate learning experiences for handicapped ch i I d ren.

In keeping with its policy to achieve further diversification of course offerings in coming triennia, the College Council in 1975 pursued the invest~ igatlon of pre! iminary proposals for the development of courses for the training of social workers and welfare workers. It Is the Council's intention to finalise a submission on the introduction of courses in the fields of App1 led Social Sciences and Social Work for presentation to the Higher Education Board early in 1976.

Planning of new course development continued in 1975 when the College submitted for the Advanced Education Board's approval two major varlat ons of the Diploma in Teaching programme to provide two specialist strands n the fields of Early Chi ldhood Education and Special Education. The two new course programmes in these specialist fields, leading to the Diploma in Teaching -Early Childhood Education and the Diploma in Teaching - Special Education, are to be offered for the first time in 1976.

During the year the programme of registration of the College's courses by the Australian Council on Awards in Advanced Education continued. and in 1975 the Austral ian Council registered courses leading to the following awards of the Coil ege;

Graduate Diploma in Education in the fields of Secondary Education and Primary Education

Diploma in Teach;ng - Physical Education

Diploma in Teacher Librarianship

Diploma in Music (Education)

Dipl~na in Special Education.

In the field of Principles and Practice of Teaching, an unique undertaking in controlled practical experience in teaching reached a new level of development in 1975" In expanding this programme, It was accepted that the practice of skills is bl ind unless it is soundly based on an understanding of the factors which invest the teaching situation and the complexity of their interrelation­ships. Accordingly, first year students are introduced to a programme involving eight separate experiences in rotational order, each sequence of eight being repeated, as necessary, at least once. Attention is given to the preparation of the student to meet small groups of pupl Is to develop teaching skills, to practice lesson preparation, to meet full size classes and to become aware of himself and the role of the teacher" The programme admits recognition of individual differences, inasmuch as upon the demonstration by the student of competence in the miniature situation he is progressed to larger and larger group~;; of pupils. In years senior to first year the programme moved to one whereby students visit schools carrying out certain assigned tasks with a minimum of prescription"

t

The College Counci1 has been conscious of the College's responsibilities in the field of Continuing and Adult Education and early in 1975 implemented a policy for the development of continuing and community education programmes to be offered by the College" The Council was aware of the expectation of the Commission on Advanced Education and the Advanced Education Board that programmes of adult or community education should be self-supporting. The Council considered, consistent with this expectation, that the College had a respons-bl1ity to seek to make Its special ;sed know·'edge, sid 115 and physical resources

available for adult education programmes of interest to the community, where such programmes could be made financially viable and would not detract from the essential functions and purpose of the College. The policy approved by the Council also makes provision for the College to undertake a continuing programme of in~servjce courses for its own graduates a:1d other members of the teaching profession., It was considered prudent for the College, In the initlal development of community and adult education programmes, to work in association with the Universl of Newcastle 50 that the Col lege would complement, and benefit from, the organisa:';on a ready (lave-ioped by the University's Department of Community Programmes" Consequently, College corr~unity education programmes have been developed in association with the Unive slty for an init a] period of 12 months, and the programme w I I be assessed and reviewed early in 1976,

These commun~ ty programmes have included several dramatic and other performing a ts productions in the Col1ege 1 s Griffith Duncan Theatre, Including several professional productions which have been brought to Newcastle in associat on with the Un ve 5i Department of Community Programmes. The first profess onal production in the Col lege Theatre was the season, in May 1975. by the Nimrod Theatre Company from Sydney, of the award winning play by Jennifer Compton, (INa Manis Land!!, which gained first prize in the nat onal play competition eondticted by the Students Hepresentatlve Counel i of the College.

In third term the first series of CreaUvlty COUrses for the Community were condu ted at the College, Courses In ttle fo"llowing f;e!cl3, for persons who \;vi hed (0 de\!elop ski 11 and understanding, I"equlring no p i01 knmv1edge 0,

exper:ence, were offered: Painting and Draw;ng; Photography; Jewellery Making; the Psychology of Motivation; Mechanica' Skil Is Fo the n; Creative Dance;

10,

and Children's Literature. At the end of 1975, a Su~ner Art School. to be conducted at the College in January 1976, was organised, in fields such as Painting, Spinning and Weaving, Music Making, Graphic Art, Exotic Cookery, Theatre Arts, Photography, Jewellery Making, Batik and Tye Dye, and Ceramics.

Honora Awards

Early in 1975, the College Council adopted the following policy in r"espect of the conferring of honorary awards:

(1) that there be two levels of honorary awards, namely, "Honorary Fellow" and "Honorary Associate" and that the award I'Honorary Fel 10~1 be regarded as the senior award for distinguished service to the College or to education;

(ii) that the level at which an award is conferred be determined at the discretion of Counei 1; and

(Ii i) that recommendations for the conferring of honorary awards be made to CouncIl through its Standing Committee,

Es of Research Fund

The Counci I, in August, 1975, approved the establishment of a Research Fund in the Col lege and a statement of policy and procedure governing the operation of the fund, uti lising a gift of $1,000 made by the former Principal, Mr. G,H. Duncan, as the capital basis of the fund.

The main purpose of the Fund will be to provide assistance, especially for the initial funding, to the staff within the College undertaking promising research projects. The Council was Informed that in its formative stages, a research project might not attract financial support from sources outside the Col lege, but may. after a suitable pilot investigation, lead to an undertaking of value which would attract outside funds, It would be the purpose of the fund to mdKe funds avai 'Iable for "priming" a promiSing research project so that outside support might be attracted. Any grants or subsequent revenues obta~ned from outside sources will be used to reimburse the Resear"ch Fund as well as to continue the particular research project.

ST/\FF

Es ab Ii shment

The College establishment in 1975 comprised an academic staff of 168 (an increase of 18 from 1974) located in twelve academic departments and a non­academic staff establishment consisting of administrative, clerical, library, technical, laboratory, maintenance, out-door and cleaning staff of 154 (an increase of 34 on the 1974 establishment).

The Special Education Centre nearing completion, the Co lege Coun i i. towards the end of 1975, sought and obta I ned the app (ova 1 of the AovcJnced Edlicat I on Board for the establishment of a (IC1v position, that of Director of the Special Education Centte, to be creelled early in 1976 <:It. Princlpdl Lecturer level

1L

St Leave

The Conditions of Employment evolved by the Pul,1 ic Service Board for corporate colleges of advanced education made provision for study leave to be granted to servants, under conditions to be determined by the College. The Counci 1 was able in 1974 to develop and implement a study leave programme to allow staff members to proceed on study leave in Australia and overseas to an extent beyond the expectation under the College's former direction. The Council, in 1975, consolidated the study leave policies and procedures which had been developed over the previous 18 months, formal ising the guidelines in a set of conditions for the granting of study leave both to academic and senior non-teaching staff. The study leave conditions, adopted by Council in October 1975, are now fully in operation in the College.

Retirement of Foundation Pr nci

The first Principal of the College, Mr', G.fL Duncan, OBE, MA(Syd), BEd(Melb), FACE, retired on Thursday, 27th i1arch, 1 , after 26 years as Principal of the Co'llege from its inception in February ~19Lf9o The College Council in recognition of Mr. Duncan's distinguished service to education and to the College, conferred on him the first award of Honorary Fellow of the College at the Col lege Graduation Ceremony on 2nd May, 1975. The Council also named the Coj'lege Auditorium, "The Griffith Duncan Theatre", in honour of l-1r. Duncan and in permanent recognition of his outstanding service to the College.

Following the retirement of Mr. Duncan, the former Vice-Principal, Mr. G.e, Elliott, was appointed Acting Principal during the interregnum from 2nd April, 1975 until the appointment of a new Principal. Mr. E A. Crago, formerly Head of the Department of Social Sclences, was appointed Acting Vice-Principal from 2nd April, 1975 unti I his retirement on 12th December, 1975.

With the position of Principal becoming vacant upon [he retirement of the first Principal, the Advanced Education Board and the Public Service Board early in 1975 reviewed the establishment of the Col lege dnd approved the (edesignation of the position to that of P incipal of a multi-d scipline College. The position was advertised by the Council which, on 11th August, 1975, appointed Associate Professor Edward Richardson, SSe, PhD, PCertEd(lond), ASSOCiate Professor in Education in the School of Education, Macquarie University, to the new posilion. Dr< Hichardson would take up his appointment as Principal of the College on 1st Februar'y, 1~376.

The provIsion of the new faci1 ty result in considerahle improvements in services generally and in work ng conditions for readers and library staff. There has been significant growth in library collections during 1974 and 1975, made possible by an unmatched library grant of $80,000 from the Australian Government, which had been fully expended by the end of 1975, and by allocations applied from the College's recurrent funds for acquisitions.

By the end of 1975, the library collections, including books, periodicals and audio-visual materials total led 69,072, an increase of 11,202 items during the year. At 31st December, 1975 the stock of books totalled 60,187. periodicals amounted to 2,847 volumes, while audio-visual materials, including microform, accounted for 6,038 items.

Regrettably, proposals for extension of the 1 ibrary were once again deferred in 1975 and therefore, the expansion of I ibrary holdings coupled with increased student numbers, caused even greater strains on already fully taxed library :;pace,

~INANCES AND FUNDING

During 1 ,as in 1971l, the College received moneys for recurrent and capital purposes granted under the States Grants (Advanced Education) legislation. Funds were also provided under the States Grants (Schools) legislation to enable the diploma course in special education to be maintained in 1975,

The Australian Research Grants Committee provided funds to Mr. T. Sheedy, a Senio Lecturer in Science within the Col lege, to continue research on a project ent t"'ed "Research I\nalysis of l'1odels of Teaching and Their Use in Science Teacher Educatlon",

These Government provided funds were able to be supplemented by the College from interest earned during the year from the investment of tempOI'd 11y surp'iLls funds in interest bearing deposits for period varying from thirty to ninety day':, .

~ull Jerai Is of the fund provided for recurrent, capital a~d othe purpose~ and the disbursements made are contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31st December, 1975, attached as Appendices to this report
