People still getting sick
By Chris Oldfield COVID, various types of influenza and “man-flu” as well as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are making some people very sick throughout the district. The Federal Government announced last February it was closing the Naracoorte Respiratory Clinic. But that did not mean the end of COVID or other respiratory illnesses for residents and visitors. “COVID is certainly still going through Naracoorte at the moment,” Dr Jeffery Taylor said. In 2020 Dr Taylor of Kincraig Medical Clinic was the first doctor rostered for the government’s respiratory clinic. Now three years later, there have been some big changes regarding COVID. “The big advantage now is with most people having had their vaccinations, and also having access to antivirals, we’ve been able to mitigate the severity of COVID dramatically,” Dr Taylor said. “So, people are a lot more aware (and) they want to get themselves tested early. “Some people breeze through […]
We are a New Metrics School! Naracoorte High partners with University of Melbourne
By Naracoorte High School Universities and leaders in Business across Australia have been in discussions about the skills students leave school with, and how what were traditionally known as “soft-skills”, for example Communication, Collaboration and Quality Thinking, are actually essential to success. How can information about these skills be captured in a reliable way, and how does this form a part of University entry requirements, or used in a pathway to employment? In 2022 and 2023 Naracoorte High has been a part of a Research Project with the University of Melbourne, a partnership which centres on the assessment and recognition of complex competencies, such as those listed above. Naracoorte High has been working in the area of Agency in Learning, determining how schools can work in partnership with families and community to give students the skills to independently know what to learn, how to learn it and who to learn […]
St. Andrews Presbyterian Church
By Norma Davis The Church was one of the first to be built in Naracoorte and is also listed with the National Trust. The original church was built in 1858 and later became the Sunday School Hall. The land was donated by Mr William McIntosh as was the church bell. The current church was erected in 1874 1875 at a cost of 3,000 pounds. The slate on the spire was replaced with aluminium in 1953 and again in 1990. Built in solid limestone structure of Gothic design, with memorial windows. In 1874 Mrs Robertson of Struan laid the foundation stone for the new church. In 1895 the manse was built on church grounds.

Footy preview
KNTFL football teams return to the field this Saturday after the state championships weekend off, with just 6 rounds left in the season now. It looks like the top 5 teams have a break on the rest of the competition, with three wins between 5th-placed Naracoorte and 6th-placed Padthaway, but a lot can change in 6 weeks. This Saturday’s stand-out match of the round is between current front-runners Border Districts (1st on the ladder) and Kingston (4th). Borders are one win plus percentage clear in top spot, while Kingston needs the win to stay in the hunt for an important top three spot which comes with a double chance in the finals. Interestingly, Kingston have been the only team to beat Borders this season, prevailing by 10 points in a great game back in round 2. Borders have done nothing wrong since then with 8 straight wins, and they will […]
