Welcome from
the Campus Board
The Cyril Jackson Senior Campus (CJSC) board provides strategic
oversight, leadership and support to the campus in a variety of ways.
The board works hand-in-hand with the Campus and the wider
community to achieve the best individual outcomes for our students.
Underpinned by the CJSC Business Plan, the board strives to ensure
the objectives of the Plan are being met and looks for opportunities to
contribute further to the ongoing development of the school.
The board is made up of school staff directly elected by their peers,
amazing students and local community members. Being able to hear
first-hand from students, to understand their concerns and ideas, is a
unique opportunity to work directly with students in delivering their
education, and ensuring their voice is represented at the board table.
CJSC’s Student Advisory Group also provides students with an
opportunity to be heard by the school community; and for school to
respond to the aspirations and needs of our students. The group is for
students, run by students and reports directly to the board.
The diverse range of learning options available at CJSC makes it a rare
offering to many students looking to continue their education pathway.
Our staff perform an extraordinary role in providing a warm,
welcoming, challenging and responsive education environment for our
students, many who come from a diverse range of backgrounds and
who may otherwise miss out on opportunities.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cyril Jackson.
Yours sincerely
Amanda Reid
Campus Board Chairperson

About Us Cyril Jackson | 2020 Course Guide | 9
Who was
Cyril Jackson?
Sir Cyril Jackson KBE was born in 1863 in England, where he studied
education with the objective of improving educational opportunities
for the socially disadvantaged, he believed we learn better by
reason and understanding. In 1898, Jackson created a curriculum
that reformed the methods of teaching, and played a key role in
developing education in WA. Jackson was keenly analytical and
boundlessly energetic, he subscribed to the concept of rewarding
the effort of the student.
Jackson claimed that his success in welding the best elements
of contemporary educational systems into a cohesive whole
and creating a viable scheme for Western Australia was his
proudest achievement.

juggling child care, work and family!
You will find we are pretty flexible, and once you find your course here, you will find your place,
and we can’t wait to see you on Campus. The cost of the course is very affordable and all art materials are provided. Also,
along with future study and career pathways information, the course is clearly
outlined at the start. I have been able to achieve the course competencies in the
time provided in school with little to no out of class time needed.
The kindness and inclusivity of the school (staff and fellow students) have been

ArtsHouse artist in residency and community garden projects. I am able to
connect with artists and art and community groups and sell my work for
commissions and public art opportunities.
Find your Course, Find your Place I’ve learnt how to make a GIF in Photoshop in my Digital Art unit, I’ve done six
weeks of guided Life Drawing classes with WA artist Gordon Mitchel and I’m able
to use the pottery wheels to continue my own practice. Also I’ve been guided in
how to stand up and talk about my artworks in front of others. I’m learning how
to take praise, listen and respond to feedback in order to refine my artworks.
I hope to continue my studies with CJSC, then possibly go on to university or
TAFE to further study art. The CJSC course has given me hope and confidence
for the possibility of a future career in art or design...who knows how far I can go
now!
