The Water Workshop includes a visit to the Biological Sciences Museum at Macquarie University, where children will be given a hands-on experience of corals, shells, fish, turtles, snakes and lizards.

The program is on Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 October at the Macquarie University Institute of Early Childhood. Each day is from 9.30am to 4.30pm, and the cost is $125.
The Live-in Creative Camp is a 4 days/3 nights program for 8-12 year olds held at the Arthur & Yvonne Boyd Education Centre at Riversdale, North Nowra.

Internationalising the Curriculum: Macquarie University Internal Mini Conference

Following lunch there will be a keynote address from Professor Di Yerbury. After this, working groups, including an important contribution from CFL - "Teaching and learning: what can it mean in an off-shore environment?" - will discuss issues raised in the paper sessions and some other key ideas involved with internationalisation. The conference closes at 4.30pm.
Date: Tuesday 19 June

For application forms or any other enquiries, please contact Maree McEvoy, School of Education, x8649 or Alison Cameron, CPD, x7598.
Employability and Disability
Most people think of disability as something that only affects other people. And yet either through accident or illness, many people are likely to be affected by unexpected changes to their physical or mental abilities. Despite its policy on avoiding unlawful discrimination, Macquarie University employs comparatively few people with a disability requiring workplace adjustment. What issues must be considered to make our working environment more accessible and more desirable for those competent and able people whose working lives are limited by an unsympathetic working environment?
Dr Lynne Davis is a former staff member with a personal story to tell about changes to her worklife that were made necessary by the loss of her sight.
This half-day workshop is designed to discuss issues and approaches to fulfilling the University’s social and legal responsibilities so that staff with a disability, especially those requiring an adjustment to the workplace, can work effectively in a sympathetic and satisfying work climate.
Lunch will be provided.
Date: Tuesday 10 July
