As a student, I know firsthand how much of a difference a proper night's sleep makes to how we learn, focus, and function. Starting school earlier especially halfway through the year will only increase the pressure and fatigue we're already dealing with. Teenagers aren't just being lazy; science shows that our brains are wired to wake up later. Cutting our sleep short for the sake of a new schedule isn't going to boost our performance, it’s going to burn us out. We need the sleep-ins we currently have to be at our best academically and mentally. Please don’t take that away. Our health and education should come before timetable convenience.
As a VCE student who already struggles with attendance and grades due to health issues, this change is concerning. These constant changes in timetable for not only VCE students but the rest of the years is stressful and disorientating for minimal affect in attendance of well being sessions. The student response is telling you that this will mostly affect student's wellbeing negatively, whether for sleep, change, health, or attendance reasons, which cannot be properly counteracted by brief wellbeing and communities sessions efforts. Look into how to make wellbeing sessions more helpful and why people aren't attending in the first place instead of making this unreasonably large adjustment.
Something that stood out and set this school apart to me was the timetable and how it worked well with my circadian rhythm. Changing the timetable will be a negative change and remove what makes this school better than others.
As someone who lived in a small town where droughts already meant our water ran brown, this country cannot handle the environmental impacts of data centres. They are unnecessary and will only harm the day to day living of every person in this nation. It is a waste of resources and money and will worsen the problems already present in this nation. I am 20. I am already concerned for my future in this country and the idea of data centres chewing through our resources only worsens it.
Im only 16 and im studying animal sciences to help prevent the destruction of this world and help animals fight for their home and a chance to live alongside us. All adults that try to destroy our land for their own interests and money gain are disgusting. I want a future where children won't have to go to zoos to only see ai versions of animals because the real ones were driven to extinction due to our own greed.
As a fifteen year old who lives in this country, it’s not fair that those who have already experienced their lives! What about us? Don’t we deserve a future??
As a parent of a former student at OC this is troubling. What’s the message to students - luxury sports fields and facilities matter more than preserving a threatened species and environmental degradation.<br>
At another level it clearly shows that the fees are so excessive as to enable the school to expand facilities that are not essential and just feed the ego of the school community to be able to be even more ostentatious. I think the values are questionable. <br>
Enough is enough Redlands Council - when are you actually going to stop development that destroys the natural habitat - you might as well change the Redlands logo to remove the koala because we soon won’t have any left. It’s as good as having the Dodo on the council logo.
As a physiotherapist, living in a small regional town, and a parent of a child with a complex lifelong disability this NDIA proposal hurts in every way. Targeting physiotherapists as different or less than other allied health is outrageous! Targeting travel is short sighted and unfairly hurts those with the least choice (our long searched-for OT currently travels an hour each way to visit us in our home - after all where else can a child learn basic self- care skills - there is no community clinic I know of that has a shower and toilet that would be anything similar to what we use at home!!). These cuts will simply cost- shift to other people and services. Please do better NDIA!
