Response to McBride defection
By Chris Oldfield A TRADE school and further education facility in Naracoorte are opportunities which Nick McBride could work towards achieving as an Independent Member for MacKillop. Such a facility would include training for aged care and allied health as well as other vocations. The suggestions came from Naracoorte Lucindale mayor Patrick Ross in the wake of Mr McBride’s resignation from the SA Liberal Party. Mr McBride, who first joined the party around 30 years ago, had his key supporters stripped from their positions within the party during a meeting at Hatherleigh two weeks ago. Factional issues simmering within the party flared publicly in April when Mr McBride’s wife Katherine announced her pre-selection bid against the Federal Member for Barker, Tony Pasin. The resounding support for Mr Pasin was reflected in a vote 284 against Ms McBride’s 54. At the time Mr McBride squashed rumours that he was resigning from […]
Arson at Struan
By Chris Oldfield THE fourth fire at Struan was the result of arson and police investigations are continuing. “The investigations into the initial three fires concluded that there were no suspicious circumstances,” Primary Industries Minister Clare Scriven told The News. “The last fire, number four in the recent series, was clearly arson, as vehicles and a shed were broken into and set alight. “The police investigation is ongoing. Primary Industries and Resources SA (PIRSA) is not aware of any charges being laid. “However, this is a matter for SA Police. There has been no stolen equipment reported through the process to date. “On the properties at Struan and Kybybolite, research is undertaken into livestock production (cattle and sheep) and broadacre cropping.” Ms Scriven said specific research was targeted at crop agronomy, grazing management, animal wellbeing and behaviour, livestock nutrition, AgTech and climate change. “Approximately 20 staff are located at Struan […]
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 […]
