education and placement in to Selective Schools by the DET. He stated he read my letter with great interest and
has made representations to the Minister for Education Mr Watkins. He thanked me for taking the time to write to

In the letter he thanked me for my letter of 4 March 2003 and said the Minister had asked him to reply. He advised
that from the outset that the responsibility for school admission policies is a matter for the relevant educational
authorities, rather than the Commonwealth and therefore the Minister regrets that he is unable to offer any tangible
assistance with the matter. He goes on to say that he must say that while he is not in a position to comment
authoritatively on the matter, the procedures for calculating admission scores appear to be complex, so much so that
in the case of both my children scores were apparently incorrectly calculated by officers of the New South Wales
Selective Schools Unit and then subsequently corrected. He states that this suggests that current procedures may
be overly complex and liable to make the admission process less than ideally transparent. He noted that I had
sought the assistance of Barry O'Farrell and stated that he would be forwarding a copy of his letter to Mr O'Farrell's
office for his information. He then went on to say that on behalf of the Minister, he takes this opportunity to wish my

regarding my allegations of discrimination against my children by the NSW Department of Education. The letter states that Mr
Howard appreciates the time that I have taken to convey my views and concerns to him however he regrets that due to the
large volume of correspondence he receives he is unable to respond to each personally. It states that Mr Howard has asked

the Minister for Education, the Hon Brendan Nelson MP for attention given that he is responsible for the development of
Policy on public education.

has made representations to the Minister for Education Mr Watkins. He thanked me for taking the time to write to
him.
In the letter he thanked me for my letter of 4 March 2003 and said the Minister had asked him to reply. He advised
that from the outset that the responsibility for school admission policies is a matter for the relevant educational
authorities, rather than the Commonwealth and therefore the Minister regrets that he is unable to offer any tangible
assistance with the matter. He goes on to say that he must say that while he is not in a position to comment
authoritatively on the matter, the procedures for calculating admission scores appear to be complex, so much so that
in the case of both my children scores were apparently incorrectly calculated by officers of the New South Wales
Selective Schools Unit and then subsequently corrected. He states that this suggests that current procedures may
be overly complex and liable to make the admission process less than ideally transparent. He noted that I had
sought the assistance of Barry O'Farrell and stated that he would be forwarding a copy of his letter to Mr O'Farrell's
office for his information. He then went on to say that on behalf of the Minister, he takes this opportunity to wish my
children all the best in their schooling and trust that they will be given the opportunities the they deserve to develop
their talents to the fullest.

accurate record of the resuls, reveals that the OC placement test 2000 results for D Challita Student No. 77801

MISCONDUCT
Two FOI Applications had
to be lodged due to the
Amendement of FOI DET's failure to meet their
Original application obligations. No resolution
7/30/2007 MURN 30 June an appeal was lodged by
2007 FOI- us but had to stop as
230 health impacted by stress.
BODY
Ms Challita, who rang you earlier this year to complain about the Departments treatment of her children, is challenging the
FOI’s Units decision not to provide her with the test papers she requested. We are being asked to produce for the
Administrative Decisions Tribunal hearing, test papers relating to the 2000 for 2001 and the 2001 for 2002 Opportunity Class
Placement Tests as well as the 2002 for 2003 Selective High Schools test.
They understand that the answer sheets are no longer available.Could you have the relevant reference copies already ready
for us but don’t send them until we find out where and when they’re required.
Bob correction to my earlier email this is the one formal mention of Mrs Challita I can find in my correspondence in which I
mentioned (to Magda at least) that Mrs Challita had rung me.
John has discovered some earlier advice he has received from our Unit. He phoned for advice. I said that he should slow the
process down and not answer the last email until I get some advice from above. He has agreed to do this. Would you be able
to get back to me as soon as possible preferably week or early next week, with some direction as to how he should answer the
email. We at this Unit will also give some consideration. He did suggest that he answer by referring her to us.
Robyn, I am pleased to inform you that the appeals panel has made no changes to the rank order of the following students who
have lodged appeals
Danny Challita Year 8
States fax from Mrs Challita was acknowledged by clerical assistant in writing.
Unit would like advice as after 14 RML's, 3 FOI's, an Ombudsman investigation and an Administrative Decisions Tribunal
hearing, Mrs Challita has been classified as a vexatoius correspondent and has been advised that further letters to the Ministry
will be filed without resonse. Does this also come under that heading or do we respond? If so how?
Mrs challita rang. Soon after there was a fire alarm. We undertook to contact each other later.
Left a message for Mrs Challita to call me.
Spoke to Mrs Challita - agreed to call her tomorrow after 10.00 am.
Spoke to Mrs Challita - she is concerned that documents have been purposely hidden and asked me to keep an open mind to
this. She also said that the department, Dr Bendall had not finalised the agreements reached in a previous ADT matter.
Discussed with Anthony Bendall. His recollection was that Mrs Challita was to attend the Selective Schools unit to exame the
test papers, then meet with Bob Wingrave to satisfy herself that nothing had been improperly withheld. Bob would then explain
the 'discrepancies' to her. Anthony understood that this had occurred. He is aware that there was an argument commenced by
Mrs Challita as he understands it at the time of her visit. He will go to the previous FOI file to clarify if there were written "terms
of settlement". I will talk to Louise about identiying the Departmental sign attendees to the Year 8 appeal by Danny Challita.
Discussed with Anthony. The 'Agreed Settement' seems to be embodied in the letter from John McDonald dated 18 August
2003. Mrs Challita seems to have responded to item 2 in these terms by letter dated 22 August 2003.
Spoke to Dave Wasson. He is essentially relying on Magda Pollack for advice. Agreed that I would send the letter with a
comment that I was exploring the Chris Carrol investigation and would get back to her about that. Agrees I would call Dave on
Monday.
Spoke to Magda Pollak. She advised that Bob Wingrave is probably the appropriate person to arrange the meeting.
Spoke to Bob Wingrave. His recollection was that there was no investigation as such. My suggestion was that it may have
been overtaken by the resolution of the ADT proceedings. I said I would discuss that with Anthony.
Spoke with Anthony Bendall, his recollection was that the ADT resolution was in settlement of 'everything'. He is happy to
attend a veiwing with Bob Wingrave and Mrs Challita if required.
Left a message for Bob Wingrave to call me. Apparently the line of reporting is through Carol Carrigan.
Spoke to Mrs Challita - has now received the response from St George Girls. Said I would talk to Sydney Boys and would look
at the advice that informed the Ministerial letter.
Spoke to Bob Wingrave. The person between Bob Wingrave and Carol Carrigan is Dave Wasson, Director of Education
Measurement, who is located at Banksown. I offered to physically assist in preparing the correspondence. Karen Endicott had
a file - Bob will chase that up. He will come in next Tuesday @ 2.30 pm.
Left a message for hte Principal of Sydney boys (Kim Jagger) to contact me.
Magda Pollack rang. Said will prepare a response but does not have the material I sent to Bob Wingrave in April. I undertook
to resend this.
She raised child protection concerns for the Challita’s children. Apparently they were crying at the meeting that was held. I
said we should discuss this further and if there was a risk of harm, Docs should be notified.
Rang for Magda Pollack - has apprently finished the resonse but is away sick. A hard copy is on its way to me.
Rang David Wasson - he is also away sick but may be in later. I left a message for him to call me. His assistant, Melba Clark
will e-mail the response to me.
Gentlepeople. Thank you for your good work in relation to the matter of Mrs Challita. I've prepared a draft letter (attached)
which contains the material Magda has prepared in response to Mrs Challita's letter of 22 August 2003. I have made some
minor amendments to this material and would be grateful if you could read it through to make sure I haven't mucked anything
up.
I have taken the liberty of presuming that you do not want to investigate a complaint about essentially the same issues but
there still seems to be two outstanding points.
One is Mrs Challita's desire to again look at the test papers. I have decided to ignore that for the moment unless you counsel
me otherwise.
The second one is something of a surprise. On 4 August 2003 the Minister wrote to Mrs Chalilta advising that he in turn had
'advised Mr Chris Carroll. R/Director of Student Assessment and School accountability, that your formal complaint should be
dealt with in accordance with the Depts 'Responding to Suggestions, Complaints and Allegations procedures and that 'Mr
Carroll will proceed to set the process in place and will contact you in due course to advise you of progres. Mrs Challita says
that she has never been contacted by Chris Carroll. Can you tell me what the position is with this and what transpired between
then and the Minister's letter of 19 December 2003.
Spoke to Magda Pollack she sent some suggested changes to Dave Wasson. Discussed her comments in detail. She is not
aware of the Chris Carroll investigation. In her view there should be no revisiting of the test exam paper issue. I said I would fi
these thins and talk to Dave Wasson.
Left a message for Dave Wasson to Call me.
Spoke to Chris Carroll. He said the complaint was investigated this was at the time that she came in to review the exam
papers. Dave Wasson and/or Bob Wingrave would be aware of what transpired.
In the matter of John Murn's letter to Mrs Challita - the second last paragraph has dropped the U off Unit and now reads 'nit'.
I have not brought my original document home with me so I can't compare John's version with mine but I don't recognise the
relevance of his response to the last heading. "Re documents from Caringbah;. If it can wait until Monday, I'll look at it at work
If not, I'll log in tomorrow from Melbourne and get somene in the office to send me the original.
> I have taken the liberty of presuming that you do not want to investigate a complaint about essentially the same >issues..
.
I would agree.
>one is Mrs Challita’s desire to again look at the test papers etc. I have decided just to ignore that for the >moment unless you
counsel me otherwise.
I am not sure ignoring this woman is the way to go. I pointed out in my document that we have complied with the ruling that we
were to give her an opportunity to go through the test papers and unless we state that she’ll just keep demanding another
session.
>The second one is something of a surprise. On 4 August 2003 the Minister wrote to Mrs Challita advising that >he in turn had
‘advised Mr Chris Carroll, R/Director of Student Assessment and School Accountability, that >your formal complaint should be
dealt with in accordance with the Depts “Responding to Suggestions >complaints and allegations” procedures” and ten that “Mr
Carroll will proceed to set the process in place and >will contact you in due course to advise you of the progress. Mrs Challita
says that she has never been contacted >by Chris Carrol. Can you tell me what the position is with this and what transpired
between then and the >Ministers letter of 19 December 2003??
This must have been something decided above Unit level as I have no recollection of seeing it. Chris or someone higher than
that may have received an official form or may have been responding to Mrs Challita’s frequent use of the term ‘formerly’ b
which she always seems to mean ‘formally’ and decided to set the wheels in motion. I may not have been made aware of this
development as I was probably one of the people Mrs Challita blames.
It should be noted however, that there have already been numerous internal investigations and an external Ombudsman’s
investigation.
Let me know if there is anything else I need to do before Monday, my mobile is

Refers to my letters of 11, 17 and 18 June 2004. States: As discussed briefly with you on 27 Jujne it is becoming difficult to
manage the plethora of issues that you raise and the many ways in which you seek to explore those issues. In this respect I
am mindful of the letter from the Minister of 19 December 2003. You will recall the final paragraph states that 'Extensive
Enquiries have now been completed by both the DET and an external agency and following these enquiries the Department
considers the matters closed.
States: As discussed with you the Department has not, until now,properly fulfilled the terms of the third item of the agreed
resolution of your ADT proceedings from 2003, accordingly it is only fair that this be done and I again apologise for the delay
and the oversight in not dealing with this aspect. The Departments response is set out below.
Your letter dated 11 June contains an FOI application this part of your correspondence has been referrred to the Depts FOI &
Privacy Unit.
Your correspondence also includes a complaint which you seek to have dealt with under the Departments "Responding to
Suggestions, Complaints and Allegations policy. As the matters you complain about appear to essentially be those that have
been dealt with previously, no action will be taken on this point in accordance with the advice in the Ministers letter. (This was a
new allegation in relation to my younger daughter).
You also mention an investigation by Mr Chris Carroll which was referred to in a letter from the Minister for Ed to you dated 4
August 2003. At that time Chris Carroll was relieving Director of Student Assessment and school accountability. My
preliminary enquiries indicate that it was intended that the terms of resolutaton at the ADT was intended to cover all outstanding
issues including the complaint to be investigated by Chris Carroll. I will write to you once this issue is further clarified.
There is also an undertaking in item 3 that a meeting be held between yourself and the dept personnel to explain how the
relevant processes work. This meeting can be arranged by contacting Bob Wingrave. It is requested that I do not bring my
childrne to this meeting and that I could bring whatever other support person that I wish. Mr Wingrave has also indicated that
you are welcome to discuss with him the issue of a further opportunity to review copies of your children's test papers.
Spoke to Dave Wasson he has no additional knowledge of the Chris Caroll investigation. Said Bob Wingrave is the person who
would have any relevant files etc. I undertook to forward a copy of my letter to Mrs Challita to Bob, Dave and Magda. I said I
would discuss the Chris Caroll investigation with Bob.
Gentlepeople. The final version of my letter to Mrs Challita (sent last Friday) is attached. The only thing outstanding at this
stage from my perspective is the Chris Carroll 'investigation'. My feeling after talking to Chris, Bob, Anthony Bendall etc is that
the resolution of the ADT proceedings was assumed to wrap up all the outstanding issues. It would be great if there was some
record like a file note etc. Bob, do you have any relevant papers? Copy of letter Challita5.doc attached.
Spoke at lengthh to Mrs Challita. She sais that the Chris Carroll investigation was completely separate to the ADT
proceedings. Said that there has never been an investigation about the corruption that she is alleging. Says the investigation
was not discussed in the context of winding up the ADT proceedings and wants to know what is happened with it.
Mrs Challita rang to advise that I was sending my letters to her old address. Her correct address is now .. She then asked for
the file reference number for her matter. I asked which matter. She became very angry aggressive and kept insisting there
was only one matter 'her complaint'. At one stage she said the file my letters were on. When I started to give her the details of
this file, she shouted "no not he FOI file" She said she was going to see a Solicitor tomorrow and terminiated the conversation.
Further to our meeting today, I wish to confirm that whilst I am happy for Amanda to be assessed in the same manner as every
other student applying for Opportunity Class, I object to my daughters application being handled or dealt with by Magda Pollack
or Bob Wingrave of the Selective Schools unit or any other person previously involved in these issues; as set out in our
Responding to Suggestions/Complaints form that I formally lodged.
I confirm my advice to you that I have made formal allegations and continue to make formal allegations that Magda Pollack and
Bob Wingrave have breached their duty of care on an alarming and excessive amount of occasions, have shown bias and have
tampered with my eldest children’s scores/documents etc on a systemic and continual basis. I also confirm that I believe that
my complaint in relation to the allegations is being sabotaged and covered up by the Department.
Given that my allegations have never been investigated or properly and fairly addressed, and given that I sincerely believe and
have evidence that shows that my family is being victimized, I would request that Amanda’s application for Opportunity Class
not be sent to the Selective Schools Unit for processing and instead be sent directly to Dave Wasson the Director of
Educational Measurement Directorate for his personal attention.
NOTE: I had been told that Dave Wasson was independant and impartial so I agreed for him to deal with Amanda's matter but
documents later received under FOI showed he was the person between Bob Wingrave and Carol Carrigan in charge of the
covering up of my eldest two childrens complaints.
Welcome friend !Welcome friend !I do have a file, which you are welcome to have a copy of/whatever. Ms Challita is a regular
customer of the FOI and Privacy Unit and they have some additional files. Likewise the SSU has a large number of material in
relation to her repeated complaints.
She has been told by the Minister that ‘no further correspondence will be entered into ‘because of the vexatious nature of her
communications. There is another ministerial reply not long before that however, which indicated that Chris Carroll would
investigate her complaints and get back to her. It appears this did not happen. She brought proceedings in the Administrative
Decisions Tribunal concerning one of her FOI requests and it seems likely the discussions around that drew attention away
from the promised investigation. The ADT proceedings were eventually resolved on terms of settlement which I have also been
following through on.I have also been following through on.
I became involved by doing the internal review on another of Mrs Challita’s FOI requests and have been trying to tie up loose
ends and assist her.
She did go to the Ombudsman at some stage and they declined to go further with her complaint. The other issue to bear in
mind is that some members of staff have reportedly felt concerns about risk of harm to Ms Challita’s children arising from her
behavior and their involvement in the complaints etc. How would you like to proceed?
Email states that he has received complaints from me regarding Katie's Ella test and selective high school applications for my
son and that since bias, misconduct, victimisation, conspiracy, corruption fraud and a few other related terms are expressed
that he needs to assess the complaint. Asks for any information to help with the assessment.
Spoke to Chris Ballentine. He is waiting to hear back from Selective Schools Unit. It is likely that the audit will not investigate
further He will coy me into his reply.
Bob Wingrave is away ill. Left a message for Dave Wasson to call me on Monday.
Ask for Bob Wingrave to give him a call when he gets back as he is away ill. States that there only seems to be one issue left
from his piece of it and that is the Chris Carroll investigation and that he can't address it with what he has and that there is
another letter from me requesting the investigation. States that his inclination is, subject to talking to him and Dave Wasson, is
to send an acknowledgment to me saying he has referred the matter to Bob or Dave (whoever) to reply and that it would be a
matter for them for what they say but that they might just want to indicate that all of my complaints have been dealt with and
that they do not intend to take further action. Ends with Anyway we can talk it through when you get back.
Spoke to Bob Wingrave. Magda thinks it is a good idea to do a file revew for the operative period and write to Mrs Challita
advising that the matter is considered to be finalised. I said that I would send a confirming email to Bob, Magda and Dave
Wasson.
Bob. I refer to our discussions yesterday and confirm that from my perspective and I now there are many others the only issue
remaining outstanding is the"Chris Carroll investigation" referred to in the letter to Mrs Challita from the Minister dated 4 August
2003. States that as you know I flagged this with Mrs Challita in his letter of 2 July which stated that "My preliminary enquiries
indicate that it was intended that the terms of resolution of the ADT proceedings cover all outstanding issues betwen you and
the Department including the complaint to be investigated by Mr Carroll. I undertook to write to her again once this had been
sorted. States: I confirm the suggestion that I made yesterday for a file review to be undertaken in relation to the period
between the Ministers letter of 4 August and his letter of 19 December stating 'the Department now considers these matters
closed. All future correspondence on these issues will be filed without response unless it relates to matters not previously
raised. It may be that a file review will establish that the issues complained of were examined and that no further action was
found to be warranted for example. In terms of closing off my FOI file, unless i hear from you to the contrary, I will write to Mrs
Challita referring to my letter dated 2 July and advising that I have referred that issue to Mr David Wasson, Director
Educational Management. I will formally send a copy of that letterand of relevant earlier correspondence to David, which will no
doubt be passed on to you.
Enclosing relevant recent correspondence concerning Mrs Challita for his attention as discussed with bob.
1. Letter from Minister dated 4 August 2003 advising that Chris Carroll would conduct an investigation.
2. Letter from the Minister dated 19 December 2003 advising the Department considers the matter closed.
3. My letter dated 2 July 2004 advising that I would clarify the situation regarding the Chris Caroll investigation and write again.
4. Mrs Challita letter dated 24 August 2004 asking that her complaint be investigated.
5. My e-mail dated 24 August 2004 advising I would refer the issue of the Chris Carroll investigation to you for response.
6. My letter to Mrs Challita dated 26 August 2004 advising that the issue of the Chris Caroll investigation has been referred to
you for response.
I have suggested a way forward in my email of 24 August and I am happy to discuss and assist as the need arises.
I refer to your letter dated 2 July 2004, our subsequent telephone conversations and your letter dated 19 July 2004.
You will recall that the only matter outstanding from my letter of 2 July 2004 is the issue of the investigation by Mr Chris Carroll
referred to in the Ministers letter to you dated 4 August 2003. In your letter dated 19 July 2004 you highlight your desire to
seperate your ongoing complaints alleging bias and victimisation from your freedom of information applications.
Of course, the Ministers letter dated 19 December 2003 advising you that 'extensive inquiries have now been completed by
both the DET and an external agency also needs to be borne in mind. In that letter the Minister went onto state that the Dept
'now considers the matter closed' and that 'all future correspondence on those issues will be filed without response unless it
relates to matters not previously raised.
Since my correspondence with you relates only to your FOI applications, I have referred the issuue of the investigation by Mr
Chris Carroll to Mr David Wasson, Director Educational Management for response. This finalises my involvement and I will
return the file to the FOI and privacy unit.
Team.
Looks like you can give ACER the green light.
Letter to me from Upaporn Blunden re FOI states: Mr Robert Wingrave, Manager of the Selective High School and Opportunity
Class Placement Unit has provided documents which are related to requests as mentioned in points (i), (ii),(iv) and (v). I have
made a determination to provide these documents in full.
I have also been advised that documents provided to you include Magda Pollack's emails. These documents were Ms Pollack's
correspondence while she was working as Records Management Officer at the Educational Measurement Directorate.
I refer to your client’s recent applications for Selective School placement for her daughter Amanda Challita. I presume you act
in this matter as your client has informed my client that she has instructed Solicitors.
Your client has lodged with the applications a “Suggestion or Complaint form’ which refers to allegations made against the
Selective High school and Opportunity Class Placement Unit, including Magda Pollack, dealing with or processing Amanda
Challita’s selective School applications. She requests the applications be dealt with by the Gifted and Talented Directorate
(actually a unit) of the Department.
Please not that the Department will deal with your clients complaint in accordance with its states policies. The complaint has
been referred to the Corruption Prevention and Investigation unit of the Departments Audit Directorate and any further
communications regarding the complaint should be directed to Chris Ballentine on 9561 8410.
However, I am instructed that the Department is unable to acquiesce your client’s request that her daughter’s application be
dealt with by the Gifted and Talented Unit. The unit does not have the requisite skills, personnel or resources to deal with such
applications. It would create an increased risk of error to have the application dealt with by persons not experienced in these
matters. Therefore Amanda’s application will be dealt with by the Selective High School and Opportunity Class Placement Unit
in the normal way.
Hi team
I wonder whether I could ask you to advise on the attached submission and draft letter I’d like to send to Gillian Shadwick in
response to Mrs Challita’s latest request through her solicitor.
Apart from anything else, I need to know whether Gillian should send the letter, if approved, directly to Mrs Challita’s solicitors
or through either of you.
I am ostensibly on leave but will monitor my email daily.
Hi Magda
Happy New Year. Nothing like Mrs Challita to bring me back to the reality of work. Do not have a concern about your
submission but I have a concern about the draft letter for Gillians Signature. If we are not happy at all with Mrs Challita’s
request because she has not provided any evidence for the reason for home schooling it is possible to deny her request as no
medical evidence has been provided to substantiate the need for her request and home schooling? Have you in the past
allowed students who have legitimate medical issues to miss the Selective Schools test and considered their applications on
recent IQ tests and other relevant evidence? The letter from Gillian could also point out the outdated nature of one of the IQ
tests submitted and that Amanda would therefore be considered only with one IQ test and a Grade 4 report.
Hi Lee
Happy New Year to you too.
“….we are not happy at all with Mrs Challita’s request because she has not provided any evidence for the reason for home
schooling is it possible to deny her request as no medical evidence has been provided to substantiate the need for her request.
I thought about mentioning the lack of medical evidence in relation to her request for exemption from the test but that would
only prompt her to find a tame doctor to provide a certificate, wouldn’t it? We can really interfere with the area of home
schooling as we have no jurisdiction there. I think that’s a Board of Studies matter, isn’t it?
“Have you in the past allowed students who have legitimate medical issues to miss the Selective Schools test and considered
their applications on recent IQ tests and other relevant evidence?”
Yes that is our standard procedure provided there is evidence and Mrs Challita knows this.
“The letter from Gillian could also point out the outdated nature of one of the IQ tests submitted and that Amanda would
therefore be considered only with one IQ test and a Grade 4 report”.
As alternative evidence we request an individual IQ test and standardized tests of reading and mathematics. She does not
need the second IQ test. I have mentioned in the letter she lacks a recent school report. I have discovered with this client that
the shorter the communication, the less material we provide for her to hold us up with more requests or complaints.
I am happy to make any changes you advise but I know this won’t end the matter and the more information we provide at this
juncture, the more evidence Mrs Challita will obtain to support what I really believe is an attempt to circumvent the procedures
which apply to everyone else.
Let me know what you think. I’d like to get this on its way ASAP.
Hi Magda
I feel we have to give her a reason why we can’t comply with her request for test exemption. If she submits what we feel is a
doctor just writing out a medical certificate inappropriately there are avenues to complain such as the Health Care Complaints
Commission and the NSW Medical Board. In relation to home schooling that is under the Board Of Studies jurisdiction and it
requires a specific process. It would be appropriate to contact the Board of Studies to see if Mrs Challita has actually applied to
home school Amanda and aif not to get a Home School liaison officer of the Department to pay her a visit.
I certainly understand that with Mrs Challita she attempts to circumvent appropriate channels however we still need to tell her
why we will not comply with her request. As long as she has been told that the “old” IQ test can not be used I am happy with
that and that she has been made aware that no recent report has been provided and this will also cause problems with the
application.
Request by Mrs Challita for exemption from the Selective High School test for Amanda Challita
Gillian
Please see Chris Ballentine’s email of 2.00 pm today (14 Feb) before reading this. You will note that DET became aware of the
issue from the principal of Baulkham Hills Hs (selective). I have rung another selective school (Girraween) and can surmise
that the original defamatory email has been distributed to principals of all selective high schools. Mrs Challita has also
distributed it to at least Angela Chessman from the G & T Unit in Curriculum K-12.
I have asked Magda to begin a Briefing regarding this.
FYI – Christa Ludlow (Crown Solictors office) is drafting a letter to Challita regarding this issue.
By the way you both get a mention in the blog
John. As mentioned in my phone call, could you ring the password directly through to ……………….. I am withdrawing from al
involvement in score processing to preempt Mrs Challita’s further baseless allegations.
You were also going to let me know what quality control checks your scanning people had in place.
We still need the answer sheet cover pages for all students designated by you as Group B (see attached spreadsheet)
……….will export the final clean data to you by Monday morning. Can you provide the Culture Reduced scores for us in the
form of the CR Kay and not individual scores by DOB on Monday. Thanks
Chris. Mrs Challita has applied on behalf of her daughter, Amanda, for Year 7 entry to Caringbah High School and St George
High School. This year I have removed myself from all involvement in the importing of scores from ACER, the processing of
those scores and any selection commitees relevant to Mrs Challita’s application. The scoe calculation was effected by a
process developed entirely outside my Unit by the Systems, Data Analysis and Regional Support Unit. Regrettably, Amanda
has a score of 168.44 which makes it unlikely that she will be selected. On past experience Mrs Challita will be reluctant to
believe the outcome was derived fairly.
As discussed could you arrange for a member of your team to attend both meetings (I was misinformed when I told you they
were both on the same day) to observe the placement process and to see that the meetings proceed according to the criteria.
Caringbah High 26 May 2006 – 9.00 am
St George Girls 5 June 2006 @ 10.00 am
The Unit executive officers (non-voting) will be Neville Keeley and Jan Stephens respectively.
Good morning, Magda. Firstly, thanks for inviting me in to view the process last Friday – I found it quite interesting. Secondly,
I would appreciate looking at any documents you have that detail the procedures/processes that need to be taken into account
by the Selection Committee particularly when factors beyond the result of the selective Schools examination need to be taken
into account.
The reason for my request stems from a review of Amanda Challita’s application. Had Amanda not sat he examination through
some misadventure then based on what I understand the procedures to be the committee would have been able to use the
results of her IQ. Given how high her IQ was shown to be she would have easily made it into a selective HS. At the end of the
day I need to see documentary evidence that shows that the committee had no choice but to accept the results Amanda
achieved in the selective school examination and is not able to consider Amanda’s IQ results
The enclosed documents are the Selective Schools tests 2006 materials for Student No 902091 comprising
reading/Mathematics test booklet number 08069, General Ability/Writing test booklet number 08069, answer sheet number
608069 and writing Test Response. I certify that these documents are the original documents received from test centre 8240
Caringbah High School.
Morning
I hope your weekend wasn’t as bad as you thought it was going to be. I received a copy of correspondence that Christa Ludlow
forwarded to Mrs Challita’s solicitor which provided the documentation from your unit and apologized for the delay and saying
the delay was caused by an oversight in the Crown Solicitors office. So now Christa will be part of the conspiracy.
Christa wanted me to think you so very much for your patience and tolerance as a witness in this matter. I want to also thank
you for your professionalism in the face of great adversity. Let me know when you want me to look at the letter you are drafting
to Mrs Challita about Amanda’s application.
How very kind of you both.

Here are my efforts over the long weekend. I’ve put Christa down for Let me know what you think.
I was interrupted. I meant to say that I have put Christa down for consultation too but if you don’t think she needs to be
involved we can remove her name.
Christa is still in her current job and if she has time to look at it I think anything she would advise is worth considering. I will try
to look at the draft later today.
I was interrupted. I meant to say that I have put Christa down for consultation too but if you don’t think she needs to be

Chris, The Selective School and Opportunity Class placement Unit is convening a special appeals panel earlier than the rest o
the panels this year to hear the depositions of the parents of 10 students whose writing task responses bore varying degrees of
similarity to each other.
The composition of the panel is
Max Smith, Assistant Director, Educational Measurement and School Accountability – chair
Pam Peelgrane, School Education Director, Bondi School Education group
Lyne Irving, Principal Sydney Technical High School
Helen Wardaga, Principal Picnic Point Public School
Dona Dilonardo Parent representative.
We have today received an appeal from Mrs Challita, on behalf of her daughter Amanda. The cover page of the appeals notes
that the parent strongly objects to this application being processed by the Selective
Schools Unit or any person having been previously involved in this matter.
I have voluntarily excluded myself from any part of the process of Mrs Challita’s application so far. It seems appropriate for this
special panel to hear the appeal from Mrs Challita as well as the writing task matters as the Director Delegate is of a higher
rank than I and has not been involved with previous applications.
As you were kind enough to provide an observer from your Directorate to monitor the selection commitees Amanda applied for,
I was wondering whehte ryou could also provide an observer to monitor this particular appeals panel. It will meet on the
Selective High School and Opportunity Class unit premises from 8 to 11 am on 4 August 2006
Michael. Max will be chairing the appeals panel on Friday and has requested that I seek advice from you concerning Mrs
Challita’ s appeal. It is customary for an analysis to be provided to the panel. This analysis is normally generated by a
member of the SHS&CO placement unit and contains.
1. As summary of the parents claims
2. A summary of the schools’ claim
3. A list of supporting documents
4. A discussion of the main issues as perceived by the unit
5. Options that may be taken within the guidelines by panels
6. A recommendation for the panels consideration.
Magda. In my view, given that the Unit is the department’s expert in this area it is appropriate for the Unit to provide its advise
in relation to this matter. The panel will need to be made aware that Mrs Challita has concerns about the Unit and will need to
be mindful of that when considering the Units advice. I am not sure how the panel could perform its function without the input
from the Unit.
Thanks Michael.
Gillian this is good news. You may be aware that Mrs Challita sent a lengthy complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman
concerning our ‘systematic bias, victimization, vilification, discrimination, bullying, misconduct, neglect, manipulation of
documents and test results, corruption and fraud and a conspiracy to cover up. After two lengthy teleconferences with Michael
Conaty (Ombudsmans office) I have been provided with a verbal indication that the Ombudsman will decline Mrs Challita’s
appeal in strenuous terms.
She can still appeal the Ombudsman’s decision, but this is a huge step forward for us.
States: The Ombudsman has decided not to investigate us in response to Mrs Challita's complaints.
The Challita appeals panel has met over two sessions and has decided not to place Amanda. Outcome letter to be signed by
Gillian in October with the rest of the outcomes (Sub required)
Max draft briefing regarding the Challita appeal is attached. Magda and Dave have accusations made against them and
therefore they do not appear as part of the sign off.
Do you think we should send the panel report in full or make reference to the deliberations and decisions in the letter to be sent
by the GM??
We will be sending the outcome of other appeals next week and would like this one to go at approximately the same time.
Thanks for drafting this Neville. My opinion is that we should send the panel report as an attachment to obviate the need for
FOI. We should obscure the parent participants name to ensure privacy for this person
