# Michael O'Brien (hurling manager)

**Michael G. O'Brien** (1933 – 14 November 2014) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest who was also a noted hurling coach and manager.

Born in Innishannon, County Cork, O'Brien was ordained into the priesthood in 1958. Over the next forty-five years he ministered in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, while also serving as a teacher at St. Finbarr's College and chaplain to the Irish Navy. O'Brien retired from active ministry in 2003.

Concurrently with his duties as a priest, O'Brien was heavily involved as a hurling coach at colleges, university, club and inter-county levels. His biggest success came with Cork, whom he steered to two All-Ireland titles, four Munster titles and one National Hurling League title.

## Biography

O'Brien was born in the parish of Innishannon/Knockavilla, County Cork. He entered St Patrick's College, Maynooth, and was ordained for the Diocese of Cork and Ross in the seminary chapel on 22 June 1958. He then ministered in the Irish-emigrant areas of London until 1961, when he returned to his home diocese and a curacy in the parish of Blackrock, Cork, where he helped to rebuild St. Michael's Church which had burnt to the ground. For 12 years, from 1964 to 1976, O'Brien taught at St. Finbarr's Seminary, Farranferris, where he was also the hurling trainer for the school team. He was "at the helm as Farranferris won Dr Harty Cups in 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974, adding All-Irelands in 1972 and 1974". A 12-year stint as chaplain at the Naval Base of Haulbowline followed before O'Brien returned to parish ministry, again in Blackrock. In 1985 he started a lengthy stay in Carrigaline where he served as curate, administrator and finally parish priest of Carrigaline, before retiring from active ministry in 2003.

O'Brien was later resident in Nazareth Home in Dromahane. He died on 14 November 2014 after a long illness.

O'Brien served as the coach of the Cork senior hurling team on several occasions, guiding the team to All-Ireland titles in 1984 and 1990. At colleges' level he also managed UCC to Fitzgibbon Cup titles, and later managed Blackrock GAA. He also helped coaching Coláiste Chríost Rí.

He is not to be confused with Canon Michael O'Brien of the neighbouring Roman Catholic Diocese of Cloyne.

The bureau is headed by Alice Mak, the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs since 2022, and is overseen by the Chief Secretary for Administration.

## History

### Colonial Hong Kong (pre-1997)

Source:

#### Registrar-General (1844-1913)

The bureau has its origins in the office of Registrar-General in 1844, who led the Census and Registration Office (**總登記官署**) and was responsible for overseeing and regulating the Chinese community of the British colony.

#### Secretariat for Chinese Affairs (1913-1969)

In 1913, the Registrar-General became the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, overseeing the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs (SCA), comprising the Interpretation and Emigration sub-departments. The SCA's functions included the protection of women and girls, permits, registration of books and marriages, emigration, plague hospitals, temples, cemeteries and Chinese clubs and societies. Responsibility for the supervision of student interpreters was passed to the Education Department in June 1913. On 1 January 1922 the SCA acquired the functions of protector of child labour and inspector of factories, and an Industrial sub-department was established to administer these. The SCA became responsible for the protection of 'mui tsai' or female domestic servants in 1923 under Ordinance No 1 of 1923. Marriage registration was transferred to the Land Office in 1926. After the Second World War, the SCA was re-established on the resumption of civil administration in 1946 and continued its pre-war role, including liaison between the Chinese population and the Government and advising on Chinese law, customs and opinion. A Social Welfare Office was created within the SCA in September 1947. This was separated to form the Social Welfare Department on 1 January 1958. A Public Enquiry Service Division was formed in November 1960. Following the 1966-67 riots, the City District Office scheme was introduced on 24 January 1968.

#### Secretariat for Home Affairs (1969-1973)

The Secretariat for Chinese Affairs was retitled Secretariat for Home Affairs (SHA) on 28 February 1969. The name change was prompted by the introduction of the City District Office scheme in 1968. The SHA was organised into four Divisions (General and Traditional; Lands; Narcotics; Public Relations), two Sections (Trust Funds; Liquor Licensing), Tenancy Inquiries Bureaux and the City District Commissioners and District Offices for Hong Kong and Kowloon. In March 1972 a Chinese Language Branch was established to administer the official languages policy and provide translation services. The same year, a Television and Films Division was created from the Television Authority Secretariat and Film Censorship Unit, both transferred from the Information Services Department. In 1973 the SHA's liquor licensing functions were moved to the Urban Services Department, while the Narcotics Division was transferred to the Security Branch of the Colonial Secretariat.

#### Home Affairs Department (1973-1981)

Following a reorganisation of the Colonial Secretariat as proposed by the McKinsey Report, the Secretariat for Home Affairs was retitled as the Home Affairs Department (HAD) in September 1973. The Department's primary role was maintaining communication between the Chinese population and the Government. It was organised into four Divisions (General and Traditional, Lands, Information, Television and Film), a Trust Funds Section, Chinese Language Branch, Public Relations Unit, Tenancy Enquiry Bureaux, and Offices of the City District Commissioners and District Offices for Hong Kong and Kowloon. In 1974, the Television and Film Division was separated to form an independent Television and Film Authority; the Tenancy Enquiry Bureaux were transferred to the Rating and Valuation Department; and the HAD was reorganised into a Community Services Branch and a Language and Tradition Branch and the City District Offices. In 1975 its functions included city district administration, public enquiry service, lands and housing matters, Chinese language authority, Chinese customs and liaison with local organisations.

#### City and New Territories Administration (1981-1994)

On 1 December 1981 the New Territories Administration merged with the Home Affairs Department to form the City and New Territories Administration (CNTA). The new department took over the functions of its antecedent agencies, except for disposal and survey of land in the New Territories which was transferred to the Lands Department, and acquired new responsibilities for the District Management Committees and District Boards. The structure of the CNTA comprised a Headquarters, four Divisions (District Administration, Departmental Administration and Finance, Information and Public Relations, and Public Enquiry Service), a Works Section and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Regions and their District Offices. Certain traditional and community related matters including temples, Chinese customs and marriages, cemeteries and opinion surveys, were transferred to the CNTA on 1 April 1985 from the Home Affairs Branch, Government Secretariat. Responsibility for community centres was also acquired from the Social Welfare Department in 1985. By 1988, CNTA had added a Special Duties Division. This was followed by a Youth Division in 1992.

#### Home Affairs Branch, Government Secretariat and Home Affairs Department (1994-1997)

On 1 December 1994 the CNTA was reorganised into a Home Affairs Branch in Government Secretariat and a Home Affairs Department.

### After the Handover (post-1997)

#### Home Affairs Bureau (1997-2022)

Following the transfer of sovereignty on 1 July 1997, the organisation was renamed as the Home Affairs Bureau, headed by the Secretary for Home Affairs. The bureau gained responsibility for the culture and leisure portfolios of the Broadcasting, Culture and Sport Bureau following the latter's abolition on 9 April 1998, and following the abolition of the Urban Council, Regional Council, Urban Services Department and Regional Services Department on 31 December 1999, the bureau took over the new Leisure and Cultural Services Department, gaining even greater responsibility over leisure and cultural policy. On 1 April 2000, the Health, Welfare and Food Bureau's responsibility over sports for disabled people was transferred to the Home Affairs Bureau.

On 1 July 2007, following Donald Tsang's re-election as Chief Executive, the Home Affairs Bureau's human rights portfolio was transferred to the renamed Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau, and the development-related matters of the Home Affairs Bureau's responsibility over heritage conservation were transferred to the new Development Bureau. The Home Affairs Bureau gained responsibility over the promotion of social enterprises, as well as the Legal Aid Department, which was transferred from the Chief Secretary for Administration's Office. The Legal Aid Department returned to Chief Secretary's Office on 1 July 2018.

#### Home Affairs and Youth Bureau (2022-present)

In her 2021 policy address, Chief Executive Carrie Lam proposed reorganizing the Home Affairs Bureau into the Home Affairs and Youth Bureau, stating that it would better address local needs and formulating policies aimed at young people. The proposal was implemented after the Lee government took office on 1 July 2022, with some of the old bureau's functions transferred to the new Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau.

## Officials

The bureau has three political appointees, with principal officials in bold:

| Minister | Portrait | Office | Took office |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

# Homicide (song)

"**Homicide**" is a song by American rapper Logic featuring fellow American rapper Eminem. It was released on May 3, 2019, by Visionary and Def Jam as the third single from his fifth album *Confessions of a Dangerous Mind* (2019).

## Background

On May 1, 2019, Logic announced the song on his social media while simultaneously unveiling the artwork and revealing its release date to be May 3. The song's artwork resembles the cover art of previous singles thus it was believed to appear on *Confessions of a Dangerous Mind*. This was confirmed on May 8. The song marks the first collaboration between the two rappers.

## Composition

In the song, Logic and Eminem deliver their flow and speech on a quick rate. The two rappers, especially the latter, mock contemporary rappers in their lyrics. They also criticize how modern day rappers mumble, overuse AutoTune, and how they songwrite with the help of ghostwriters.

## Music video

The official music video was released on June 28, 2019. The music video features appearances from Chauncey Leopardi and Chris D'Elia, both portraying Logic and Eminem's stunt doubles respectively. The music video ends with a 45-second clip of Eminem spoofing comedian Chris D'Elia imitating him, taken from a video that D'Elia had posted on YouTube in September 2018.

## Commercial performance

In the US, "Homicide" debuted at number five on the *Billboard* Hot 100, becoming Logic's second top ten hit, following the number three peak of "1-800-273-8255". It fell out of the top ten the next week. Elsewhere, it also debuted and peaked in the top ten in Australia, Finland and New Zealand, as well as reaching the top twenty in the UK.

***No Time to Die: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack*** is the soundtrack album to the 25th *James Bond* film of the same name. Released by Decca Records on 1 October 2021 (a week before the film's North American release), the music was composed by Hans Zimmer, making him the sixth non-British composer after Marvin Hamlisch, Bill Conti, Michael Kamen, Éric Serra and Thomas Newman to score a film in the series. The film's theme song of the same name performed by Billie Eilish, was composed with her brother Finneas O'Connell. The 12" vinyl album version features an additional four short music cues listed only as Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4.

## Development

In July 2019, Dan Romer was announced as composer for the film's score, having previously worked with Cary Joji Fukunaga on *Beasts of No Nation* and *Maniac*. Romer left the film due to creative differences in November 2019. Hans Zimmer replaced Romer by January 2020. It is the first time in the *Bond* series history that a composer has been replaced during post-production, and the second major personnel change for the film after Danny Boyle left as director. Steve Mazzaro produced the score, while Johnny Marr played guitar. London Voices provided the choral element to the soundtrack. The *No Time to Die* score album was set to be released through Decca Records in March 2020 but was delayed to 1 October 2021 to coincide with the release of the film.

In January 2020, Billie Eilish was announced as the performer of the film's theme song, with her brother, Finneas O'Connell, serving as co-writer as well as the track's producer. The song, which has the same title, was released on 13 February 2020. At the age of 18, Eilish is the youngest artist to record a *James Bond* theme song. Despite the film's delay, the song was nominated for and won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, on 14 March 2021, six months before the film's release date, because the song itself was released during the 2019–20 eligibility period, in anticipation of the film's original April 2020 release date. At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, Zimmer's score was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.

The soundtrack contains references to two tracks from *On Her Majesty's Secret Service* soundtrack:

* We Have All the Time in the World (featured in "Matera"); it appears twice in the film instrumentally, the latter rendition of the theme not being included on album. The full version of the song also plays during the ending credits, but also does not appear on the soundtrack.
* Over and Out (featured in "Good to Have You Back").

## Reception

Will Hodgkinson of *The Times* stated, "The key to a great James Bond theme tune is to capture a sense of nagging emotional loss in a way that’s glamorous. Step forward, Billie Eilish, the world’s most melancholic teenage pop star, who wraps her intimate, whispered vocals over words that, in proper Bond style, seem on the surface to be profound but in fact don’t mean much at all." Saeed Saeed of *The National* wrote, "While the pulsating score by German composer Hans Zimmer fulfils the brief in heightening the film’s spectacular action sequences, the creation of the music featured a few dramas of its own... The solitary vocal tune in the soundtrack is the titular track performed by Billie Eilish. While the dramatic power ballad, with her trademark whispery vocals and sweeping strings, was acclaimed and won a Grammy Award in March, the recording process wasn’t so smooth."

## Track listing

All tracks are performed by Hans Zimmer, except for "No Time to Die". Writing credits are from the ASCAP repertory.

title: Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra

abstract: Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra was a Spanish painter, born at Granada.

text:
# Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra

**Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra** (12 May 1638 – 1688) was a Spanish painter, born at Granada.

## Biography

He was a scholar of Alonso Cano and Juan de Sevilla Romero, but, according to Palomino, improved himself in colouring by studying the works of Pedro de Moya and Van Dyck. In the cloister of Nuestra Senora de Gracia, at Granada, is a picture by him of the 'Conception,' and at the College of the Jesuits is one of his most esteemed works, representing the 'Conversion of St. Paul'. He was vain and arrogant, and boasted his superiority to all the artists of his time; but on being challenged to a contest of ability by Mathias de Torres, he slunk from the trial, and left Madrid. His works were, however, much coveted, and no collection was considered complete without a specimen. He died at Granada in 1688. The *Death of St. Clara* by him is in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg.

## Selected works

* *Triumph of David* (*Triunfo de David*) (Museo del Prado, Madrid)
* *Virgin and Child with Saints Isabel and Hyacinth* (*Virgen con el Niño y Santa Isabel y San Juanito*) (Museo del Prado, Madrid)
* *Alegoría de la peste* (Goya Museum, Castres)
* *Immaculate Conception* (*Inmaculada Concepción*) (Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro, Vitoria)
* *Adoration of the Eucharist* (*Adoración de la Eucaristia*) (convento de las Góngoras, Madrid)
* *Allegory of Justice* (*Alegoría de la Justicia*) (1676, Academia de San Fernando, Madrid)
* *Virgen con el Niño y retratos* (Private collection, Madrid)
* *Saint Felix of Valois* (*San Félix de Valois*) (Santa Ana Chapel, Granada Cathedral)
* *Saint John de Mata* (*San Juan de Mata*) (Santa Ana Chapel, Granada Cathedral)

abstract: Rimvydas Šalčius is a Lithuanian former swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events. He is a multiple-time Lithuanian champion, and a two-time national record holder in both the men's butterfly and medley relay events. He also set a junior record time of 53.25 seconds by winning the gold medal in the men's 100 m butterfly at the 2003 European Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Salcius made his Olympic debut, as a 19-year-old, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he competed in the men's 100 m butterfly. He touched out Colombia's Camilo Becerra by a quarter of a second (0.25) to take a fourth spot and thirty-fifth overall in the fourth heat, with a time of 54.45 seconds. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Salcius qualified for his second Lithuanian team in the men's 100 m butterfly. He cleared a FINA B-standard entry time of 54.16 from the European Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Unlike his previous Games, Salcius posted his lifetime best and broke a Lithuanian record of 52.90 seconds to touch the wall first in heat 3 by less than 0.18 of a second ahead of three-time Olympian Jeremy Knowles of the Bahamas. Salcius failed to advance again into the semifinals, as he placed thirty-fourth out of 66 swimmers in the prelims. He also tied his position with Canada's Joe Bartoch.

# General Service Medal (2008)

The **General Service Medal 2008** (GSM 08) was introduced in 2015 for award to Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army, and RAF personnel to recognise specified operations since January 2008, not qualifying for another campaign medal. Unlike its predecessor, the General Service Medal (1962), operations will be denoted by clasps indicating the geographic area of operations, rather than a specific operation. The first awards of the medal were made by Secretary of State for Defence Michael Fallon at a ceremony on 12 June 2016.

## Appearance

The GSM 08 is a circular silver medal, 36 millimetres (1.4 in) in diameter.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Elizabeth II, with the inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FID DEF.
The reverse bears a design featuring a figure of Britannia holding a trident standing ahead of a lion, symbolising Britain, with, below, the inscription FOR CAMPAIGN SERVICE, with the whole encircled by an oak leaf wreath.
The suspension bar is the same design as those of the GSM 191862 and GSM 1962, as are the colours of the 32 mm (1.26 in) wide ribbon, which is dark green with a purple stripe towards each edge.

## Clasps

The clasps for the medal are named based on the geographic region of operations and not for specific named operations. Further operations deemed sufficient to warrant the award of the medal will see the addition of more clasps. Service in subsequent qualifying operations is reflected by additional clasps added to the existing GSM medal.

The clasps and their qualifying periods of service are as follows:

Southern Asia * Operation VERDITER (LEEWAY) (Pakistan), 1 January 20086 May 2015 EOD Short Term Training Team

The quintet features horn section Hank Mobley and Kenny Dorham and rhythm section Doug Watkins and Art Blakey.

## Background

### Recording

One of the most successful tunes from the album, "The Preacher", was almost rejected for recording by producer Alfred Lion, who thought it was "too old-timey", but reinstated at the insistence of Blakey and Silver, who threatened to cancel the session until he had written another tune to record in its place if it wasn’t included. According to Silver, the track showed that the band could "reach way back and get that old time, gutbucket barroom feeling with just a taste of the back-beat".

### Release

Originally released as an LP, the album has subsequently been reissued on CD several times.

### Style and legacy

The music on the album mixes bebop influences with blues and gospel feels.

These recordings helped establish the hard bop style.

These were the first sessions in which he used the quintet format which he would largely use for the rest of his career.

# Tiphobia horei

***Tiphobia horei*** is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Paludomidae.

*Tiphobia horei* is the only species in the genus ***Tiphobia***. *Tiphobia* is the type genus of the tribe Tiphobiini.

The specific name *horei* is in honor of Reverend Edward Coode Hore (1848-1912) from the UK.

## Distribution and habitat

*Tiphobia horei* is endemic to Lake Tanganyika. It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. The type locality is Lake Tanganyika at Ujiji.

It is typically found on muddy bottoms and often near river mouths. It ranges from the shoreline to a depth of about 150 m (490 ft) but tends to be more common in deeper waters.

## Description

*Tiphobia horei* has a large shell with spines, so it is easily to determine.

The width of the shell typically is 26 mm (1.0 in), and the height typically is 36 mm (1.4 in), but the latter can reach up to about 52 mm (2.0 in).

*Tiphobia horei* is ovoviviparous, there are typically almost 500 embryos per time and upon being "born" each young is up to about 1.5 mm (0.06 in) long. This snail feeds on detritus.

## Conservation status

This snail was given Endangered species status in 1996, but in 2006 this was revised to Least Concern, as it was found to be widespread within the lake and at least locally common. It is facing sedimentation, dredging and shell collecting, but these are considered to be minor threats to this species.

# Green building council

A **Green Building Council** (**GBC**) is any national non-profit, non-government organization that is part of a global network recognized by the World Green Building Council. A green building council's goal is to promote a transformation of the built environment towards one that is sustainable (buildings and cities that are environmentally sensitive, economically viable, socially just and culturally significant).

## List of recognised GBCs

As of December 2022, there were at least 41 nations with established GBCs, 10 recognized as "emerging" members, 26 countries in the prospective category and 2 in the affiliate category. As of the end of 2020, there were around 70 GBCs at various stages of development.

The Green Building Council Russia (RuGBC) formed in 2009 and is seeking Emerging Status. Growth in the CIS countries accompanies growth in the number of green construction projects in those countries, that is, those certified to LEED or BREEAM standard.

The 41 established councils are

# Home Team (2022 film)

***Home Team*** is a 2022 American biographical sports comedy film directed by Charles and Daniel Kinnane, written by Chris Titone and Keith Blum, and starring Kevin James in the lead role, Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, Jackie Sandler, and Tait Blum. Inspired by actual events, the film tells the story of New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton who coached his 12-year-old son's football team during his one-year suspension from the NFL.

*Home Team* was produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions and James's Hey Eddie Productions, and filmed in New Orleans from May to June 2021. It was released on January 28, 2022, by Netflix.

## Plot

Two years after the New Orleans Saints won Super Bowl XLIV, head coach Sean Payton is involved in the Bountygate scandal and suspended from the NFL for one year. While he's awaiting the results of his appeal, he returns to his hometown to reconnect with his 12-year-old son Connor.

Not knowing how long he'll stay, Sean checks into a local hotel for 5 days and heads to his old middle-school Liberty Christian in Argyle, Texas. Showing up to the football team's game unannounced, his ex-wife Beth and her new husband Jaime call him over.

Connor wonders why his father has come and Sean explains he just wants to get to know him. Beth and Jaime invite him to their barbecue the next afternoon. Sean introduces himself to coach Jay. At the BBQ, Connor's teammate in the Argyle Warriors friends are friendly, but he remains distant.

Watching the practices, Sean occasionally shouts out suggestions to Connor and others take notice. Known around town, other parents encourage him to help out with their kids as he sees fit. At the next game as he sees a way to help the team, Sean pops down and gives advice to Coach Troy, securing the team's first touchdown of the season.

Troy hunts down Sean that evening, convincing him to join them as the team's offensive coordinator. At the first game after the kids have the new playbook it's obvious they don't get it, so he shows them using nacho ingredients as props. Soon, the Warriors are winning every game.

However, facing the state champs the Porcupines, the Warriors are intimidated. The aggressive, much larger players cream them. Although dejected, they are reminded that they wouldn't have to play them again until the final. They go on to win all of their following matches, their semi-final is won in heavy rain as the kids projectile vomit, caused by natural energy wraps provided by Jaime.

In the final, Sean runs their two best players in both offense and defense in the first half, making them exhausted, but keeping the lead. Finally, in the last quarter, he puts the two benched defensive players back in and has their kicker Harlan, who hasn't scored one all season, to go for the tie. He misses, but the team rejoices as he knocks out the scoreboard.

Heading back to New Orleans, before Sean leaves he organises Connor's future visit to see him and the team. Back in his office, Sean proudly places the second-place middle school trophy next to his Super Bowl one as a janitor named Lionel enters his office.

# NSW School of Languages

**NSW School of Languages** (previously the **Open High School**) is a public specialist coeducation secondary school, with speciality in teaching languages via distance education, located in West Street, Petersham, an inner-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The school is operated by the New South Wales Department of Education.

## History

In 1991, the New South Wales Correspondence School, which catered for preschool to Year 12 students, was decentralised into 19 distance education centres located in schools across the state. At this time the Learning Materials Production Centre was formed to produce learning materials for all these centres and Open High School was established to teach languages by distance to students across the state. In 2017, Open High School changed its name to NSW School of Languages.

The school was previously located in the grounds of the former Randwick North High School. In 2018, NSW School of Languages moved to its current and permanent location in Petersham, in the grounds of the former Petersham Girls High School.

## Enrolment

Enrolment is available to students in years 9–12 currently enrolled in secondary or central schools, both government and non-government, located in New South Wales or approved Australian Capital Territory or Papua New Guinea secondary or central schools.

The main purposes of the school are to assist students to extend their curriculum options and maintain continuity of study, e.g. when transferring between schools.

To enrol, students must satisfy published enrolment criteria. The maximum enrolments from schools are determined by a quota system; e.g. a school with 600 students is allowed up to six new distance education enrolments each year.

Currently courses are offered in Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Modern Greek, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

NSW School of Languages operates in a distance education mode. Teachers provide students with rich and engaging learning experiences which are designed to meet their individual needs. Some of the strategies employed involve the use of:

* an online LMS (Canvas and Moodle)
* printed materials
* CD/DVD materials
* online lessons
* face-to-face individual and group lessons
* computer-assisted communication

## Achievements

NSW School of Languages has a history of high achievement by students sitting HSC examinations. NSW School of Languages students often top the state in their HSC language courses.

It was launched by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, Teo Chee Hean, at the Home Team Convention on 15 July 2011. The Network is an entity that promotes the implementation of volunteer management best practices for the benefit of Home Team volunteers and is also the key channel through which the Ministry of Home Affairs engages its volunteers. The HTVN comes under the ambit of the Ministry of Home Affairs and does not raise funds from the public for whatever purposes.

## The Steering Committee

The Steering Committee of the HTVN is an advisory body on Home Team volunteer matters.

The Steering Committee is appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs for a 2-year term or as otherwise specified, and comprises both Home Team key appointment holders as well as existing Home Team volunteers.

## Home Team Volunteer Schemes

Home Team Volunteers broadly refer to people who volunteer in a volunteer scheme within the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Home Team Volunteers are classified by the Ministry under two broad categories. They either serve as members of its Boards, Councils and Committees, known also as the Home Team Connection, or as volunteers within one of its departments. The departments that currently have volunteers are the Singapore Police Force, the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the Singapore Prison Service and the Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises, otherwise known as SCORE. Strictly speaking however, it is worth noting that SCORE is not a department but a Statutory Board under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
