Beaconhills College

Beaconhills College is a co-educational, ecumenical, independent school providing education from early learning to prep to year 12. The college has 2 campuses: One located in Pakenham, Victoria and one located in Berwick, Victoria, Australia, each campus with a co-located Little Beacons Learning Centre. Beaconhills was established in 1982 by the Anglican and Uniting Churches to serve the education needs of the Christian community in the greater Pakenham area. The college celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022. College history The idea to establish a local, independent, Christian school was conceived by a group of parishioners at St. John's Anglican Church in Upper Beaconsfield in 1980. By March 1981 a steering committee had been established with John McConchie appointed as chairperson. The steering committee called a public meeting at the Pakenham Hall on 11 March 1981 where the proposal to establish an ecumenical, co-educational, low-fee secondary school was ratified in the presence of some 250 people. In 1981, as the steering committee continued to hold public meetings seeking support for the new school, a 13-acre (53,000 m2) site on Toomuc Valley Road, Pakenham was purchased and portable classrooms obtained from St. Catherine's School in Toorak, and Frank Millett was appointed as founding principal. On 3 February 1982, Beaconhills Christian College opened with 34 students and five staff. A dedication service was held at St. James Church on 28 March 1982. Frank Millet led the college as principal until 1988, by which time the college community had grown to include 388 students and a teaching staff of 30. John McConchie, having led the steering committee, was chairperson of the board until 1986. Campuses Beaconhills College operates two campuses across Victoria, Australia. The 18-hectare Pakenham campus opened in 1982. The boarding house is adjacent to the campus. The Berwick campus opened in 2003. The 630-seat community performing arts auditorium, the Tony Sheumack Centre for Performing Arts, is located at the Berwick campus. Both campuses have a performing arts auditorium, a human movement centre, outdoor multipurpose courts, sporting ovals, visual art studios, woodworking workshops, food technology kitchens, and computer laboratories for students. SEISA Beaconhills has hosted multiple SEISA competitions across both campuses in soccer, softball, basketball, netball, hockey, theatre sports, public speaking, and debating. Co-curricular clubs Beaconhills College offers more than 40 co-curricular clubs and outdoor experiences.

Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre

The Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre is located in Beaconsfield, Tasmania. It was originally called the Grubb Shaft Gold and Heritage Museum. It was formed in 1972 after discussions were held as to forming a district museum, after which construction of the actual centre began, finally being opened in 1984. It is currently run by the West Tamar Council and holds over 10,000 pieces in its collection. History The West Tamar Historical committee was formed and between 1972 and 1981 the committee collected historical material and raised money. In 1982 the Grubb Shaft engine house ruins became available to the West Tamar Historical Committee. The committee began the process of developing the ruins into a tourist attraction to house and preserve the rich history of the area. In 1984 the Grubb Shaft Gold and Heritage Museum officially opened. In 1999 the West Tamar Historical Committee handed the management of the museum to the West Tamar Council. In 2006 after the Beaconsfield Mine collapse, which resulted in closure of the mine for 12 months, the centre was granted funds from the Federal Governments’ AusIndustry program. These funds provided a significant boost to the centre and funded developments to increase the floor space of the centre and the visitor experience. In 2008 the name of the centre was changed from the Grubb Shaft Gold & Heritage Museum to the Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre. The Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre is owned and operated by the West Tamar Council. The centre provides a significant economic benefit to the West Tamar and Beaconsfield community. The centre houses over 10,000 pieces in its collection and is continually growing through donations from the Tamar Valley community. Staff take care in preserving artefacts and are always on the look out for interesting pieces to add to the collection.

It opened on 1 December 1879. History Beaconsfield station opened on 1 December 1879, just over two years after the railway line from Dandenong was extended to Pakenham. The station gets its name from statesman Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom between 1874 and 1880. In 1967, the goods siding was closed to traffic, and was removed later in that same year. In 1978, flashing light signals were provided at the former Station Street level crossing, which was located nearby in the down direction of the station, with boom barriers provided later on in 1986. There is a car-park nearby for travellers. In mid December 2020, a further expansion of an additional car-park of 150 spaces was completed on state-owned land. Improved lighting and CCTV was provided, along with a secure bicycle parking shed and extra bicycle stands. More than 250,000 commuters use the station each year. On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Station Street level crossing would be grade separated by 2025. In November 2023, major construction started on the project to remove the level crossing. On 5 February 2024, final designs for the new road bridge were released.

Perth Children's Hospital

Perth Children's Hospital (PCH) is a specialist children's hospital in Nedlands, Western Australia, located at the corner of Winthrop Avenue and Monash Avenue on the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (QEII) site. It is Western Australia's specialist paediatric hospital and trauma centre, providing medical care to children and adolescents up to 16 years of age. This hospital provides treatment for the most serious medical cases, as well as secondary services including inpatient, outpatient and day-stay care for children and young people. History In 2008, the state government announced that a new children's hospital would be built to replace Princess Margaret Hospital for Children. In January 2012, Premier Colin Barnett and Minister for Health Kim Hames held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the construction. On 30 September 2013, Premier Colin Barnett announced that the new 298-bed hospital would use the original 1909 name, Perth Children's Hospital. This name was chosen as part of efforts to promote "Perth as a major centre for medical health and medical research". After structural and medical problems with the building delayed the hospital's opening multiple times, the hospital officially opened on 12 May 2018—although some departments started operating earlier than that. Outpatients began to be accepted on 14 May 2018. Surgery opened on 28 May 2018, followed by the emergency department on 10 June 2018 coinciding with the closure of Princess Margaret Hospital. Transport PCH is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Perth city centre, adjacent to Winthrop Avenue and opposite the western boundary of Kings Park. Drop off and pick up bays are available outside the main entrance and the emergency department. Paid parking may be available in the basement carpark at PCH (accessible from the southern end of Hospital Avenue), and in the QEII multi-deck carpark (accessible from Winthrop Avenue). The nearest public transport stops are along Hospital Avenue and Monash Avenue, operated by Transperth. A pedestrian bridge, dual-named as The Kids' Bridge and Koolangka Bridge, was built in 2021, linking PCH with Kings Park. Controversy In April 2021, seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath died, reportedly within 15 minutes of "a doctor finally" seeing her, at Perth Children's Hospital after waiting about two hours in the emergency department before doctors attended to her, despite her parents asking for help "four or five times". A month prior, emergency nurses at the hospital had formally warned of staffing levels and safety, pointing out "several incidents resulting in significant harm to patients".

The inlet functions mostly as a result of wave energy and is a wave dominated estuary. The estuary is in a highly modified condition as a result of substantial clearing within the catchment and is eutrophied and prone to fish kills. Covering a total area of 5.5 square kilometres (2 sq mi), with the central basin having an area of 4.2 square kilometres (2 sq mi) the inlet is fed with waters from the Pallinup River (Salt River). The inlet holds a volume of 6,500,000 cubic metres (229,545,334 ft3) and is enclosed by a 500 metres (1,640 ft) long sandbar that opens periodically at intervals of several years. References
Beaufort Secondary College

Beaufort Secondary College is a state secondary college located in the town of Beaufort in Victoria, Australia which is located on the Western Highway midway between Ararat and Ballarat, in the Pyrenees Shire local government area. About the school Beaufort Secondary College is a Year 7–12 college of 160 students serving a rural community in Western Victoria, approximately 50 km from Ballarat. The school is situated beside Beaufort Lake and is located in a precinct that includes most of the town's sporting and community facilities – the Beaufort Community Bank Complex, town oval, tennis courts, golf course and bowling green. The college is a member of the Wimmera Virtual Schooling Project, Ballarat VET Cluster and the Ballarat Technical Training Centre consortium, and this has allowed it to further extend the opportunities for its students. Like most rural schools, Beaufort High School is designated a school which is under-represented in the university undergraduate population, and its students can apply for special eligibility. Additionally, universities such as Flinders University, offer bonus points for university access to students from rural and isolated areas. In 2006, Beaufort High School was the recipient of a Commonwealth Bank Financial Literacy Grant aim to develop secondary students' money management skills through learning initiatives focusing on areas such as budgeting, superannuation, taxation, marketing, mobile phone contracts, small business management and profit/loss in business. History The school was founded in 1960 as Beaufort High School. The school buildings were constructed in the Light Timber Construction (LTC) style which was developed by the Public Works Department to aide in the speedy construction of schools in the 1950s and 1960s. The school was constructed in several stages, and consists of two LTC wings, joined by a link corridor. The school buildings are rendered in pre-cast cement tiles, and aside from minor refurbishment are largely as originally constructed. In the early 1980s the Science Wing, on the South side, burnt down. Arson was considered the cause, but never proved. The Science Wing was rebuilt and reopened for the start of the 1985 school year. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in June 2010. The Beaufort Primary School, No. 60, and the local Kindergarten has moved to the High/Secondary School Site and it is now a K–12. The IT Wing was redeveloped and completed in 2018. In 2019 the Art Wing was redeveloped. References External links Official Website
Beaumont House

Beaumont House est une résidence en brique de style éclectique romano-classique située au 631 Glynburn Road, dans la banlieue de Beaumont, en Australie-Méridionale. Construite en 1851 pour Augustus Short, premier évêque anglican d'Adélaïde et fondateur de la Cathédrale Saint-Pierre d'Adélaïde, elle est parfois appelée Claremont. La maison est inscrite au South Australian Heritage Register depuis le 24 juillet 1980. Histoire Le quartier de Beaumont est fondé en 1848 par Samuel Davenport, homme politique et promoteur immobilier. En raison de sa proximité avec Adélaïde (Australie), les terrains y sont rapidement onéreux, ce qui limite initialement le développement du village. En 1847, Augustus Short est consacré évêque à l'Abbaye de Westminster le jour de la Saint-Pierre, le 29 juin, avant d'arriver à Adélaïde le 28 décembre de la même année. Souhaitant résider à Beaumont, il acquiert un terrain auprès de Davenport et fait construire Beaumont House entre 1849 et 1851. Il nomme la propriété Claremont et y emménage avec sa famille en 1851. Ils y résident jusqu'en 1856, date à laquelle ils déménagent à Bishop's Court, à North Adelaide. En 1856, Davenport rachète la maison et y réside jusqu'à sa mort en 1906. Passionné d'agriculture, il plante des oliviers dès 1852 et développe la culture de la soie en introduisant des mûriers sur la propriété. Après le décès de Davenport, la maison change plusieurs fois de propriétaire entre 1907 et 1911, subissant des modifications significatives sous la propriété du Major Vincent. En 1968, elle est cédée au National Trust of South Australia, qui en assure depuis la gestion et l'entretien. Architecture Beaumont House présente une architecture éclectique mêlant des éléments romano-classiques et méditerranéens. Les modifications apportées par Davenport, influencé par ses voyages internationaux, incluent un toit plat dissimulé par un parapet en brique et des colonnes inspirées du style toscan. Bien que les oliveraies ne soient plus exploitées, elles contribuent toujours au caractère méditerranéen de la propriété.
