The Presidents Update

19 May 2010

Dear ETAWA Members

It was great to see so many economics teachers supporting the Murdoch University Business School/ETAWA seminar. Kiran Kaur has kindly put together a summary of the event which can be downloaded from HERE. I would like to thank Murray Brennan for putting this event together, in collaboration with Mandy Hudson and Kiran Kaur. I would also like to thank Malcolm Tull, Dean of the Business School for his encouragement and support.

The ETAWA executive decided that we will not be organising a conference this year but will rather be working towards organising a bi-annual conference. We are working with a different model this year. You will receive an events flyer via e-mail to put up on your pin up board with events and dates for the remainder of the year. The flyer will also be uploaded onto the website.

We will be continuing with our regular popular events such as:

• The CCI Student Economic Forums (Forum 1: Friday 6th August and Forum 2: Friday 27th August) – Flyer will be sent
• The RBA Student Seminars – Seminar 1: Tuesday 24th August and Seminar 2: Friday 27th August – Flyer will be sent
  Please note the clash of dates above and book early to avoid disappointment.
• We will also be organising an RBA teachers’ seminar in term 3 and a PD in term 4 to look at changes in the stage 2 and 3 courses brought about by feedback to CAC and feedback from the US conference.
• And some exciting opportunities to attend public lectures with visiting economists.

We have commissioned a graphic designer to create a promotional poster, flyer and stickers for Economics. I am hoping to have these promotional materials out to members before the end of this term for subject selection events. The flyer will be uploaded onto the website so that members can make as many copies as they wish.

I have been asked to join the executive of the Economics Society of WA, which should prove to be a very useful connection for ETAWA. Mandy and I attended an excellent seminar at the Melbourne Hotel, hosted by The Economics Society – the speaker was Dr Tony Richards from the RBA.

If you have any queries, concerns, constructive feedback or indeed positive feedback, please feel free to contact me or any other member of the executive. You should also be aware that the CAC representatives are people that you can contact – DET, CEO and AISWA teacher representatives regarding feedback on the new courses. The ETAWA representative on CAC is Andrew Tibbitt.

Maria Coate
President
