New school to work 'passport' for SA students. South Australian school students will graduate from high school with a school to work 'passport', the new SA Certificate of Education. The new certificate will include compulsory subjects, a broader range of choices for students and agreed performance standards that students will need to achieve to gain the certificate. It includes a new points-based system that gives students credits for learning through school subjects, TAFE, community service and work experience.

HUMPBACK whales have a type of brain cell seen only in humans, the great apes, and other cetaceans such as dolphins, US researchers report. This might mean such whales are more intelligent than they have been given credit for, and suggests the basis for complex brains either evolved more than once, or has gone unused by most species.
The finding may help explain some of the behaviour seen in whales, such as intricate communication skills, the formation of alliances, co-operation, cultural transmission and tool usage, the researchers reported in The Anatomical Record. |
