orkPac has hired “well over 100” ex-Heading workers following the contracting company going into liquidation approximately a month ago.

175 workers lost their jobs and WorkPac has moved swiftly to assist with employment options.

“We have picked up well over 100 (ex-Heading workers),” WorkPac Regional Business Manager for South Australia John Robins said.

“We are looking at the continuity from not only a client’s point of view but also from a personal point of view with employment.

“It all benefits the community which is our main focus.”

WorkPac has been appointed to service the main contract vacated

by Heading Contractors helping to create the employment opportunities.

BHP Billiton and MPS, as reported previously in The Monitor, have also employed a number of ex-Heading workers following the official liquidation date on September 15.

Smoke free at BHP

s of January 1, 2015 Olympic Dam will become a smoke free site.

All BHP Billiton Olympic Dam sites, including the Adelaide precinct, OD Special Mining Lease, Berth 25, the Adelaide Distribution Centre and Town Office as well as all vehicles will be smoke free zones.

The policy also applies to employees attending events or representing BHP offsite.

“It has always been the policy of BHP Billiton Olympic Dam to protect the health and safety of every person who visits our facilities,” a BHP Billiton Olympic Dam

spokesperson told The Monitor last week.

“As such, the possibility of smoke free work sites has been considered for some time.

“BHP Billiton Olympic Dam is implementing the smoke free policy as of January 1, 2015 because we care about the health and well-being of every individual who comes on site, and we hope that anyone who is interested in quitting will take advantage of the support we can offer through this process.”

The spokesperson said BHP Billiton understands giving up smoking will be a change for some people but they had the necessary means to help available on site.

“BHP Billiton Olympic Dam wants to protect the health of every individual who comes on site, and will support everyone who wants to quit.

“Breaching the no smoking policy will be no different from any other breach of policy at Olympic Dam. “Olympic Dam employees are required to follow a range of site policies and procedures and where a policy or procedure is breached employees may be subject to

The spokesperson said around 25 per cent of personnel working at Olympic Dam smoke, with the national average being 15 per cent in the work place, and it wanted to change that with smoking being the single greatest cause of preventable death and disease in the world.

“Whilst we appreciate that giving up smoking will be extremely difficult, the benefits will be lifesaving,” the BHP Billiton Olympic Dam spokesperson said.

BHP Billiton is also looking at ways of engaging the community on this project.

Fire at RDAS and TAFE causes $20,000 damage

CFS get ready to work on the fire and (inset) the damage caused.

WRITTEN BY EMMA OFFLER

C

ountry Fire Service (CFS) responded to a fire at TAFE on Richardson Place, Roxby Downs at 12.09pm last Friday (October 17) with the fire causing $20,000 worth of damage.

Ten CFS members were at the scene within 15 minutes to attend to the fire which began from an electrical fault within the fan motor of the air conditioning unit.

Thankfully no one was injured and all TAFE, Roxby Downs Area School and Roxby Downs Kindergarten and Pre-School students were safely evacuated to the auditorium.

“People smelt and saw the smoke inside the building and people reported it from outside too,” Anthony Alcock, CFS First Lieutenant and Officer in Charge of the incident, said.

Mr Alcock said there were multiple calls to emergency services about the fire.

Police also attended the scene along with an ambulance from BHP Billiton - although it was not required.

Senior Sergeant Terry Boylan said the matter was not being treated as suspicious.

“The fire was contained in the air conditioning unit,” Mr Alcock said.

“It took about 10 to 15 minutes to extinguish the fire because Cowell Electric and SA Power Networks had to make sure the power was isolated before we started.”

CFS discovered the source of the fire by using a state of the art thermal imaging camera.

“Once we popped the doors open we pulled all of the burning material out and extinguished it,” “It was about two hours before the building was safe because it was heavily smoke logged,” Mr Alcock said.

“Four people (CFS members) went in wearing breathing apparatus to vent the building.”

The fire caused approximately $20,000 worth of damage.

Senior Sergeant Boylan commended the organisations and staff from both the school, TAFE, kindergarten and pre-school for keeping their children safe.

“Those that evacuated it went well,” Senior Sergeant Boylan said.

“It is a credit to the organisations and staff and the practices they have in place.

“Everything was done without fuss.”

CFS Roxby Downs reminds residents to check and service their air conditioners and to test their smoke alarms on a regular basis.

However, having grown up in the country town of Mannum he knows all about country communities and how important and closely they are intertwined with their schools.

With 30 years of experience under his belt, Mr Kluzek is here to finish off the school year strongly at St Barbara’s and set them up for 2015.

“I have 30 years of leadership and Catholic education experience, so I know how to do my job and I’m not here to learn,” he said.

“So I am here to do the best I can.

“I really am enjoying it, I thrive on a challenge and love being in schools.

Mr Kluzek already has prior knowledge of St Barbara’s having acted as a mentor for Mr Hayes and new staff over the past 18 months through his role at the Catholic Education Office.

“I already know half the staff and knew a bit about the school through working with Tony,” Mr Kluzek said.

“I have developed a relationship with the school so when I heard they need someone I put my hand up.”

Three locals take out awards ahead of record field

WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

T

wo Roxby Downs and one Andamooka finalist were successful at the Brand SA Far North Regional Awards last Wednesday night.

In front of a Roxby Downs Auditorium full of people from all over the region Rachel Young was awarded the Dr+ Group Arts Award, ODT Australis took out the Telstra Large Business award, while the Andamooka Town Management Committee won the Department of State Development Initiation award.

All recipients said they were shocked to receive the award but none more so than Mrs Young after she looked at the strong field she was up against.

“I saw the other people in the category and didn’t think I had a hope,” she said.

“It is very humbling and I feel very honoured to win this award.”

The very modest Mrs Young said while it was an honour to win the award she said her artwork was not about the accolades.

“I don’t do it (artwork) for winning awards,” she said.

“The process and making the artwork, I do it all for the community.”

ODT Australis’ General Manager, Darren Lamb, was thrilled that his family business was recognised on such a big stage.

“It is fantastic this achievement and to have the organisation recognised at such a level,” Mr Lamb said.

“ODT Australis started small and grew and it is quite an achievement to have it recognised.

“But the recognition is not just for the directors, not just for myself but for everyone (in the company).”

Mr Lamb said ODT Australis came runner-up in the same category last year and thought it would be worthwhile having a shot at the award again.

The Andamooka Town Management Committee (ATMC)were commended for all of its efforts in making the town what it is.

But the nomination was for one of their most recent projects, the town splash pad which was described as “being designed on a shoestring budget by a handful of individuals in partnership with a small community that has access to very limited resources”.

Andamooka Community Administrator Deb Allen said the award was for all the volunteers, past and present, who had helped build not

only the splash pad but the town itself.

“I am really happy (winning the award),” she said.

“This award not only recognises the ATMC but also OCA (Outback Communities Australia) and APOMA (Andamooka Progress and Opal Miners Association) for all their hard work and all those people who helped form the ATMC. Ms Allen noted the vast field the ATMC had been picked through and was honoured to be recognised with the award.

With a record number of nominations this year, 190, the wins by these people and organisations have been made all the more sweeter.

Two other Rox by Downs entrants were also shortlisted as finalists with RoxFM coming runner-up in the Adelaide Showgrounds Community Group Award, while Roxby Downs Health Services were runner up in the WorkCoverSA Health Award category.

Brand SA CEO Karen Raffen said the night was a huge success and congratulated all the winners and finalists on their achievements.

“The e vening was a huge success and a great way to recognise and celebrate the many achievements in the region, as well as the hard work that goes into the Regional Awards - from the nomination and entry process, through to judging,” she said.

“I’d like to thank everyone who was involved, including the nominees, finalists and winners, our judges who put in a lot of time going through hundreds of entries, and of course, our sponsors and partners who make this special program possible.”

Town’s looking tree-tastic!

Police seize record amounts of cannabis, guns, 20 arrests

P

olice have smashed a major cannabis distribution ring, with raids on 50 properties in South Australia.

20 people have been arrested in South Australia and seven reported, with drugs worth more than $660,000 and weapons seized A further four people have been arrested interstate: three in Western Australia and one in Northern Territory.

SAPOL is working closely with the Australian Federal Police in regard to further charges.

Raids took place across WA, NSW and NT under Operation Deluge. Operation Deluge, an operation led by detectives from the Serious and Organised Crime Branch, targeted an organised crime ring and has been under way since January 2014.

Officers from Operation Deluge raided the properties on Tuesday, 14 October seizing 312 cannabis plants, 52 kg of cannabis, plus firearms, weapons and cash.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Taylor, Officer in Charge of Drug and Organised Crime Task Force, says Operation Deluge has disrupted a significant cannabis trafficking syndicate in South Australia.

“Operation Deluge commenced in January 2014, culminating in yesterday’s raids. We are satisfied we have

had a major impact on this criminal syndicate responsible for cultivating and trafficking cannabis in South Australia and across Australia.”

“We are not ruling out further arrests or further charges being laid against the network. The message here is clear – if you deal in illicit drugs there is a strong probability that you will be caught. It may take us some time to catch you but we will. Don’t risk it.”

Drugs, weapons and items seized in the raids yesterday: • 312 cannabis plants • 52 kg of cannabis • Small amount of amphetamine and steroids • $100,550.00 cash • One starter pistol • Five rifles • Three shotguns • One taser • Three rounds of ammunition Over the period of the investigation, a further 68 Kgs of dried cannabis was seized in addition to nine further arrests both in South Australia and interstate.

• Total Arrests for Operation Deluge: 33 • Cannabis seized: 120kgs • Total value of drugs seized: well in excess of $1m.

Jarrad Ivens, Tristram Birt, Robert Shoumack, Shane Shoumack and Daniel Shoumack were in town last week to help cut down some trees.

A

project was instigated last week by Council to ensure “in precarious places” that trees were trimmed and stumping was instigated to continue the maintenance and beautification of the township of Roxby Downs.

Garden Concepts from Wallaroo was contracted by Council to initiate the process over a four day period last week.

The professional tree service family owned business, which has been looking after Council contracts for six years, have been involved in tree trimming in the region as well as stump grinding and removal.

Manager of Garden Concepts Jarrad Ivens said the routine maintenance of the township was imperative – not only for safety, but beautification.

He said his team was extremely efficient and “top notch” equipment was imperative to the success of the project, which the company supplied.

“We use everything from trucks, cherry pickers, stump grinders and wood chippers, to name a few.”

“There was great satisfaction from myself and the team in the completion of the project. It was impressive work with great results for the town.”

Council’s Municipal Works Manager Peter Keller said the materials that were removed would be utilised in an environmentally friendly manner.

Other portions of timber can be purchased from Roxby Council.

Enquiries are welcome at the council office.

Ex-BHP Billiton manager takes on new role

N

eil Jansen, who held a managerial role with BHP Olympic Dam, was recently appointed General Manager of Project Development on the Isabel Nickel Project run by Axiom Mining.

Isabel is located in the Solomon Islands and it is estimated the land where the project is being conducted holds 159 million tonnes at 1.045 per cent nickel and 0.07 per cent cobalt.

Axiom Mining CEO Ryan Mount said it was impressive to have the experience of someone like Mr Jansen on the team for such a big project.

“Axiom is on a fast track to establish a direct shipping of ore operation for the Isabel Nickel Project within 12 to 18 months,” he said.

“Experienced leadership on the ground is essential.”

Toast a lost soul

S

unday, November 2 will see the Andamooka community celebrate All Souls Day for a 15th year.

A day that started with Josef Sach lighting a candle for his Dad 15 years ago has now turned into a whole town event.

“You don’t need to be there for anyone in particular.”

Mr Sach said.

“The idea of All Souls Day is to get together, remember and talk – it is like a gathering.”

“It is a chance for people all over the world to celebrate peoples souls, not their bodies.

“People say it is morbid but it’s not really - it is a chance to celebrate their souls.”

The event attracted 80 people last year and earned Mr Sach the 2014 Australia Day Citizen of the Year Award and Community Event of the year award.

Mr Sach is hoping even more people will come out this year and if the event is windy Mr Sach is prepared with electronic candles to be placed instead of real ones.

The event is also a good of way taking away a children’s mentality about ghosts by laying these souls to rest.

The event will take place at dusk, around 8pm, at the Andamooka Cemetery with all welcome.

People are encouraged to bring a chair and a few drinks and share stories and make a toast to those souls that have been lost.

Budget hits the pavement

I Peter Keller from Council.

n 2013 Roxby Council made the decision to step up.

Council budgeted over $500,000 to upgrade local footpaths, at an estimated three kilometre extension.

Due to fast tracking, that has now extended beyond five kilometres, giving almost every household a footpath to walk on.

Howe ver se veral small ‘courts’ remain to be paved.

Roxby Council’s Municipal Works Manager Peter Keller said the project to replace existing bitumen footpaths and essential work was necessary.

“We replaced the existing footpaths with a 1.5 metre wide concrete path and subsidised the cost to replace new driveways for numerous rate payers as well,’ Mr Keller said.

“The project was initially to be done over three sections over two years.

“However after receiving a

No spare time but that’s ok, says Citizen of Year WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

V

icki Mason is a busy woman with not a lot of spare time, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Between the numerous jobs she has had in her 26 years in the town as well as all the volunteer positions she has held, she has also raised five children.

She is currently a manager at Complete Pipe Systems but has worked at the Olympic Dam Post Office, and as a party planner. She even had her own craft business and worked at Outback Landscaping.

In between work she also volunteered her time as a mentor at Roxby Downs Area School (RDAS), workes as a taxi driver, volunteers at the Roxby Downs Racecourse on Race Day, and made a guest appearance as Santa in the annual Christmas Pageant.

She is also a part of the Environment Forum, the Community Garden and Business Forums, as well as being a part of the local Neighbourhood Watch group.

“You name it, I’ve done it,” Ms Mason said.

“Whatever worked around my children.”

With her job and all her volunteer roles, Ms Mason has very little spare time. With six grandchildren she said it is a no brainer as to how she spends most of her spare time.

“My spare time that I have by myself is usually taken up with cleaning or the grandkids,” she said.

“But that’s alright. It is important to spend time with the grandchildren.”

Ms Mason said she has enjoyed every moment of her time in Roxby Downs. Although there have been some tough times, there is no place she would rather be.

Last year she was named Citizen of The Year as well as receiving the Premier’s Certificate of Recognition for Outstanding Volunteer Service Award.

“I am very proud of these awards, but winning awards is not the reason I do these things,” Ms Mason said.

Ms Mason said she and her family were not going anywhere, and the Mason name would stay in Roxby Downs for years to come.

Construction on widening the runway at Coober Pedy Airport will commence in November after the project secured state funding, in a move that ensures Regional Express (Rex) will be able to maintain services from Adelaide using Saab 340 aircraft.

The South Australian government has backed the $1.3 million project to widen the runway to 30 metres, from 18 metres currently, so it will meet international regulations.

Coober Pedy district Council Mayor Steve Baines said the council was ready to begin work once the paperwork was settled.

“The threat to our vital air service has been lifted,” Mr Baines said in a statement.

“Losing the Rex flights would have killed off the tourism industry and had major impact on the residents of Coober Pedy and surrounding areas. Council and I are delighted that this has been resolved.”

Figures from the SA government showed 75 per cent of passengers on flights to Coober Pedy were visitors to the town.

SA transport and infrastructure minister Stephen Mulligan said the runway upgrade would allow regular passengers services to continue unrestricted to Coober Pedy.

“The prospect of losing commercial flights to Coober Pedy was unacceptable to the South Australian Government,” Mulligan said.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said on September 4 aspects of the current arrangements for Rex to operate to Coober Pedy did not provide the “appropriate continued management of safety on an 18-metre sealed runway with gravel edges”.

for all narrow runway operations across Australia, including Coober Pedy,” a CASA spokesperson said.

A CASA spokesperson said Rex would be permitted to operate into Coober Pedy while the runway widening work was carried out.

“It should be noted that leading aviation nations such as the United States, Europe and New Zealand do not allow narrow runway operations under the arrangements that have been in place in Australia,” a CASA spokesperson said.

“However, CASA believes it is in the interests of the Coober Pedy community to allow these flights to continue in the short-term because any restrictions could cause social and economic disruption.”

Housing prices on the up

Following the release of the Valuer General’s median house prices for the September 2014 quarter, the regional housing market recorded a slight 0.48 per cent increase in the median house price when compared to the same period last year.

Sales in this quarter were identical to sales in the same period last year but down from the previous 2014 quarter.

“As reflected in the results of metropolitan Adelaide, the third quarter is always traditionally slower in sales and the regions are no exception.

“As the weather warms up and interest rates remain at historically low levels, more and more vendors and purchasers should be entering the market place as the year goes on,” Ted Piteo, REISA President said.

Suburbs which have seen the largest growth over a 12 month period were Port Pirie, Barmera and Murray Bridge with increases of 11.57 per cent, 7.26 per cent and 5.43 per cent respectively.

Top selling suburbs in terms of recorded sales over the September quarter were once again Mount Gambier, Murray Bridge and Victor Harbor.

Be cautious, emus on Olympic Way W ith the weather beginning to heat up, snakes are not the only animals starting to appear close to Roxby Downs.

A family of emus have been located along Olympic Way. Drivers are urged to be cautious when travelling that stretch of road.

“They are very inquisitive and there are plenty around.

“They will not be afraid to come close to the road or close to your car,” Arid Recovery General Manager Kylie Piper said.

“You see at least one every year but I have never seen one with chicks before.

“There are plenty of emus around, but there have been no families on Olympic Way before.

“It’s just one of those things, there are always a few mobs around but you don’t often see them close to town.”

Ms Piper said when the weather gets dry emus wander far and wide to find food and water and that can bring them into town where it is plentiful.

Monitor NEWS

Olympic Dam Transport (ODT) Australis has joined Arid Recovery to help try to protect the father and the four chicks by donating a “caution emus” sign.

“I had to heard them off the road yesterday (Tuesday, October 14) with my car (they were that close to the road),” Ms Piper said.

“Darren Lamb, the General Manager at ODT, donated a sign to make people wary when driving down Olympic Way. “They were quite happy to make one and chuck it up on the road.”

The sign is out on Olympic Way now and will be located where the emus have been sighted recently.

“Just keep an eye out when you are travelling along Olympic Way,” Ms Piper said.

“Also be aware around Woomera and Pimba there will be emus on the roads there, and there will be chicks with them at the moment.

“They will be getting a little closer to the road as thing begin to dry off.”

fter Fairybelle relocated to Adelaide, recently the party market in Roxby Downs was left wide open.

But D&D Supplies has come to the rescue.

The company has inherited the jumping castles from Fairybelle to add to an already extensive line of party equipment.

“We started with 20 trestles and 40 chairs and it has just got bigger and bigger,” D&D Suppliers co-owner Damon Wilkie said.

“It is a big responsibility with Dannii looking after three kids and me working full-time, but we are still yet to knock back a job.”

Mr Wilkie said they are booked out every day from now until

Christmas with the number of end of year and Christmas parties starting to increase.

While Fairybelle experienced much success with the jumping castles, D&D Supplies is hoping they can make it bigger and better, already booking it in for The Roxby Downs Community Club members nights once a month.

Not only has D&D Suppliers picked up the jumping castle, the company is also adding plaster fun to its impressive repertoire, which already includes popcorn, slushies and trestle table and chair hire.

“We just want to provide a high level of service and now we believe we can take it to the next level with the plaster fun,” Mr Wilkie said.

“There is a fair bit involved and there is a lot of weekend work, especially with Christmas coming

up.”

Mr and Mrs Wilkie originally started the business in Adelaide four years ago and in that time it has expanded to become what it is today.

“We really enjoy what we do,” Mrs Wilkie said.

Mrs Wilkie believed Fairybelle saw similar qualities in D&D Suppliers as she did with her own business, with both families trying to raise young children while running the business.

“She considered herself and the business lucky to receive Fairybelle’s blessing to continue on the jumping castle business in Roxby Downs, Mrs Wilkie said.

Regional main streets heart of local economy

T

he Property Council of Australia will later this week launch its Regional Main streets tour, highlighting their vital role in stimulating local economies.

The emus the sign has been designed to save. They have been spotted up and down Olympic Way.

“The social, cultural and economic sustainability of main streets play an important role in defining our towns, cities and communities,” said SA Executive Director of the Property Council Daniel Gannon.

“The Property Council has compiled a step-by-step guide for local governments, state governments, retailers, property owners, planners, designers and community groups – it spells out strategies for keeping our main streets’ active and competitive.”

Covering six sections, from strategic planning to techniques for engaging with social media and the digital economy, this Guide draws on national and international best practice examples to inspire and enliven our main streets.

“South Australia extends beyond the four terraces of the CBD – that’s why it’s important to recognise the vital role our regional economies play in our state’s future prosperity,” said Mr Gannon.

“And this is where regional main streets come into the equation.

“Every place has a combination of economic, environmental, social, cultural and physical attributes, and the importance of each type of attribute will naturally vary.

“South Australia needs economic growth stimulus and job

creation in our regions, and this Guide provides a useful roadmap to ensuring main street economies continue to both drive and thrive.

“At a time when our state needs both job creation and economic growth, we need to ensure that the right strategic frameworks are in place – this approach applies to regional main streets as the heartbeat of local communities.

“The Property Council encourages all communities – metropolitan and regional – to put some of our recommendations to the test on your local main street.

“After all, every South Australian is a key stakeholder in our state’s economic prosperity.”

Mr Gannon will visited Murray Bridge, Naracoorte and Mount Gambier on Friday.

Spotlight on Private Boarding Schools

Board in Port Lincoln at St Joseph’s School

L

ocal students don’t necessarily have to move to the big city to get a private secondary school education.

St Joseph’s School in Port Lincoln is already attracting local boarders to its campus in the stunning coastal town on the state’s Eyre Peninsula.

Former Roxby Downs’ students Cody Innes and Jon and Emily Secker are enjoying the Port Lincoln life – however, they aren’t the only familiar faces at the school.

Former Roxby Downs local and previous St Barbara’s Principal, Bernadette Lacey is now at the helm at St Joseph’s, giving Roxby Downs families a local face to relate to.

Mrs Lacey said she had found the staff and students at St Joseph’s School to be friendly and welcoming.

“The school feels like one big family, where care and consideration is given to all students by staff to ensure success,” Mrs Lacey said.

St Joseph’s has a lot to offer. The senior years at St Joseph’s School are punctuated by broad curriculum offerings.

“Our guiding principle is to ensure that every student reaches their potential by recognising their own gifts and talents,” Mrs Lacey said.

“We strongly encourage and support students to make appropriate subject choices which they have demonstrated a propensity and capability for.”

St Joseph’s students have the opportunity to study a broad range of subjects which allow for future pathways to be explored, whether this means tertiary, TAFE, trade or employment.

Subjects range from the more traditional academic to subjects such as drama, music, art, photography and media studies.

A new ‘St Joseph the Worker Trade Skills Centre’ will open in 2015, which will enable the school to expand an already successful ‘Doorways2Constuction’ pathway.

“A comprehensive counselling program is offered to students and parents in regard to future pathways culminating into an extremely high success rate in regard to students achieving their goals,” Mrs Lacey said.

This includes a high SACE com-

pletion rate, first round University placement and full time employment offers, which have been hallmarks of the senior school for many years.

The Boarding House is conveniently situated next to the school giving students easy access in the morning and afternoon as well as during study periods.

Students also attend evening study each week night in the School’s Resource Centre, supervised by a qualified teacher or tutor who are able to provide valuable assistance.

The big point of difference to many city schools is the seven day

Westminster offers every opportunity

W

estminster School’s new Boarding Precinct opened last year to great acclaim. The precinct incorporates the impressive new Boys’ Boarding House and Co-educational Recreation Centre as well as the Girls’ Boarding House, beautifully established in a green garden village of self-contained units.

The new Boys’ Boarding House has lived up to the high expectations of our regional community and has already confirmed its position as amongst the best in Australia. The new home for boarding boys features a contemporary two-storey floor plan that includes numerous break-out, study and recreation spaces. Bedrooms are single or double, depending on year groups. There is a private ensuite shared between two bedrooms.

The Girls’ Boarding House units have three bedrooms as well as own lounge area, bathroom, kitchen and laundry as an adjunct to available boarding services. Bedrooms are also assigned as single or double, depending on year groups.

All boarders come together to share their main evening meal in the school’s dining hall.

Positioned between the school’s Sturt Grove Farm and the Sturt Linear Park, Westminster’s Luke Boylan Centre in the Boarding Precinct uses the open quiet space to advantage, providing a comfortable recreational environment for brothers, sisters and friends to spend time together.

The new Boarding Precinct is at the secluded end of Westminster’s spacious grounds, providing all boarders with easy access to the school’s outstanding facilities. Wi-Fi access is available throughout the entire precinct.

Westminster’s exceptionally strong pastoral care program is fundamental to the wellbeing of Boarding students, and having the right people in key boarding positions is a priority to the school and boarding families.

Westminster School Principal Steve Bousfield is pleased to introduce newly appointed Head of Girls’ Boarding Lisa Degnen who joins Head of Senior School David Wallage and Head of Boys’ Boarding Chris Graham to form the Boarding leadership team. The team works closely with the Residential Assistants and House Mothers who also play a fundamental role in caring for Boarding students in their home away from home.

“Our boarding program enjoys an excellent reputation and we are delighted to have appointed Lisa who comes from a girls’ boarding background”, said Mr Bousfield.

As Heads of Boarding, both Chris and Lisa work closely with students and families to ensure that the boarders are able to develop academically, emotionally, spiritually and physically, while making the most of the extensive academic and co-curricular choices available to them. Extra tuition is available during the set homework periods held in the evenings of the school week.

With over 40 subjects available in Year 12 alone, every opportunity exists for our boarding students to find the pathway that is the right fit for their learning journey.

The school is well known for its strong boarding community and the Boarder Parents’ Association hosted their popular annual social and meeting weekend in Roxby Downs in 2013.

Westminster is proud to be a boarding school of choice for SA regional families, including many Roxby families.

Enrolling now for 2015/2016 and beyond.

Please visit the School website www.westminster. sa.edu.au to discover the excellent opportunities that await boarding students from Roxby Downs.

To enquire about enrolling or to arrange a tour of the school for any time you are in Adelaide, contact Registrar Darin Betro, T: 08 8276 0276 or dbetro@westminster.sa.edu. au.

Seymour Girls are Natural Leaders

W

hen leadership is mentioned at Seymour College, the boarders immediately come to mind.

This year’s captains of netball, basketball, athletics, softball and Seymour College Sports are all boarders from SA country regions, and the College’s Head Girl is from Darwin.

The student leadership team for 2015 is no less impressive, with the captains of athletics, equestrian, netball and tennis as well as the Seymour College Sports, Creative Arts and Service Captains and the Clan Stewart Chief hailing from the boarders.

This is no surprise to Miss Caroline Hodges, Director of Boarding.

“Like they would at home, these girls tend to be fully involved in their community. They take every opportunity they can to participate in teams and events,” she said.

Girls start developing as leaders from the moment they start at Seymour. Through sport, music, debating, theatre and numerous other activities, they learn to be supportive team members.

As they progress through their schooling they are given the opportunity to step up and experience being a leader.

They help to run assemblies, plan events such as Sports Days and Swimming Carnivals, service events, and peer mentoring programs, all with staff assistance.

Developing sound leadership skills in young women is highly valued at Seymour.

“Leadership opportunities enable the girls to grow in confidence, to live their lives knowing that they can guide a group of people who will trust and value their opinions,” Miss Hodges said.

“The confidence our leaders demonstrate allows them to be strong in their decision making and subsequent actions.”

Students undertake many activities and programs that encourage leadership. There is a service program, where they go into the community to help organisations in need. These experiences

“We encourage our leaders to lead using their individual strengths. The girls develop these skills as they move through the College, through activities, modelling and guidance.”

Miss Hodges sees the impact of leadership on younger boarders. “Our boarding leadership team has an opportunity to work alongside boarding staff to guide, support and nurture a very special group of girls,” she said.

“With family being so far away, our boarding leaders fill the role of an older, wiser sister. Our younger students look up to the older girls; they watch, listen and seek to conduct themselves in a similar manner.

“Alex Lowe, from Roxby Downs, has been awarded the position of 2015 Creative Arts Captain. Alex is rarely seen idle in the Boarding House. She gives of her time willingly in so many areas of the College. Alex has competed at a school and state level in debating, mock trial, and the Evatt Competition (a mock UN Council).

A good leader will think of others before themselves and Alex does this without hesitation. Like so many of our girls at Seymour, she has grown as a leader by serving.”

Building great men

S

t Peter’s College in Adelaide believe in an holistic approach to education.

The college believes it is educating minds, building healthy bodies and nourishing spirits and that none of these things can happen in isolation.

St Peter’s believes boys who are supported in this way grow to become great men – who are instinctively good and gentle – boys who are strong, active and masculine, but they are not macho, brutal or abusive towards the vulnerable.

These are well grounded boys who can look you in the eye. Indeed, they know what matters and will grow to become good fathers, husbands and partners.

St Peter’s believes the cornerstone of educating boys is that all boys are safe to be themselves. Each and every boy must feel able to express himself and learn to cherish his uniqueness. Every boy is important; here at Saints his gifts and strengths will be celebrated, honoured and enabled.

It is not enough to celebrate high fliers and nurture those with difficulties. St Peter’s believes it must also ensure that the ‘boy in the middle’ is seen, heard, understood and valued. The ‘boy in the middle’ is the boy who quietly goes about his work, applying himself and achieving his best.

Though he may not receive awards and accolades, this boy is the lifeblood of St Peter’s.

St Peter’s could not offer a transforming educational experience without a very special staff. Its teachers and support staff have a passion and preparedness to serve the school, and they know the important role they play in shaping the character of St Peters’ boys.

Whether in the classroom or outside it, the sum total of a Saints education is

www.themonitor.com.au

a transforming experience - every single boy at St Peter’s College is special – for his uniqueness and what he brings to the school – and the aggregation of that is remarkable.

The college is committed to providing every boy with an extraordinary education through outstanding curriculum, learning, and teaching experiences.

St Peter’s believes that developing a boy’s character is just as important as fostering his intellect.

The college’s Wellbeing and Positive Education programs focus on teaching lifelong personal competencies to develop a boy’s resilience and understanding of his own strengths.

The school also knows that every boy will learn as much from the world outside of the classroom as what he learns within it and we understand the value of teamwork, fair play and perseverance.

The school believes communication is critical and implements regular, honest and accessible communication between all members of its community.

That communication must occur through formal channels, but also through informal channels to ensure that issues are dealt with in a timely and appropriate way, and equally to celebrate successes as they occur.

Larissa’s Boarding Journey

B

oarding school in the city is an option many local families explore. The Ryan family, from Kimba, spoke to us about their decision for their daughter, Larissa, to board at Walford Anglican School for Girls in Adelaide.

“Larissa started boarding at the beginning of Year 10, in 2012,” mother Kate Ryan explained.

“I had attended boarding school myself, and found it to be a positive learning experience.

I wanted my children to have the same opportunities.”

Larissa was actively involved in the decision to board, and the school she would attend.

“My parents let it be my decision,” Larissa said.

“I’d always wanted to go to boarding school.

They gave me the opportunity to visit any boarding school in Adelaide. Walford was the first school I visited, and I knew straight after the visit that it was the right school for me.”

Mrs Ryan said having two younger brothers, Larissa had her heart set on attending an allgirls’ school.

“A friend of mine had boarded at Walford, and I remembered the friendly atmosphere there. Larissa and I visited Walford’s stand at the local field day, and followed that up with a visit to the school.

“We felt confident that Walford could provide a supportive, nurturing environment where Larissa could learn to confidently live away from home,” Mrs Ryan said.

“We felt very comfortable when we had our tour of the school and the boarding house, we loved the design and the ensuite in each room, and the approachable, welcoming nature of all the staff we met.

“Our search ended there – we decided not to look any further as we felt we had found the right place.”

With the decision made, the reality of Larissa moving away to board had its challenges.

“I did feel a mix of emotions when I started boarding,” Larissa said.

“I was worried about going to a completely different school, making new friends, living in a boarding school and being away from my parents.”

It can be even more difficult for parents.

“The first drive home was heart wrenching, and I remember telling my husband I was glad I didn’t have to do it alone,” Mrs Ryan said.

She added that this soon passed.

“A good piece of advice from Walford Principal, Ms Rebecca Clarke, made all the difference. We had been waiting for the homesickness to go away, but she explained, “Larissa may always be homesick, it’s about learning how to manage it”.

This changed the way we approached it and made a huge difference. Now Larissa can’t

wait to get back and see her friends after the holidays.”

It didn’t take long for Larissa to enjoy boarding.

“It was daunting at first. Like all boarders, I had to adapt to new rules, and to being away from my parents, but after a while it felt like home,” she said.

“All the boarders are really nice to the new girls and make them feel welcome in the boarding house. This helped me settle in.”

When asked what she likes most about boarding, Larissa replied, “Living with your friends is the best part of being a boarder.

They make it easier when there are tough times – there is always someone to cheer you up if you are feeling a bit down.”

“Boarding has helped me develop confidence and self-belief,” Larissa said.

Walford’s Boarding House Manager, Mrs Jones-Parry and the staff make the boarding house feel so much like home.

“They organise special outings for us, such as going to the beach, shopping trips, ice skating, movies, socials and paint balling.”

And mum agrees.

“Boarding provides the opportunity to meet new people and learn how to develop healthy relationships with others,” Mrs Ryan said.

“Larissa has learnt how to deal with challenges that arise from situations that she may not have experienced before.”

“Boarding has given Larissa the confidence to be able to continue living away from home for further study or employment next year when she finishes school. The boarding house outings are also fantastic opportunities that would not have been available to her otherwise.

“Despite living away from the school, we are able to feel a part of the school community via boarding and school newsletters, Facebook and through phone calls from the staff, who are always helpful and supportive,” Mrs Ryan said.

“I would recommend boarding to any family exploring this opportunity for their child, if they are able to. It is a valuable life experience with many highs, and also challenges.

These develop character and resilience in a child and give them a solid foundation to build their life upon. Friendships formed through boarding often last a lifetime.”

Larissa agrees.

“Becoming a boarder was the best decision I’ve ever made. The boarding house feels so much like home. I have formed so many friendships that will last a lifetime. I had always wanted a sister, and now I have fifty of them!”

Make her next achievement a Walford Scholarship We offer a challenging and rewarding environment where your daughter’s unique talents will be pursued to their full potential.

Roxby Council Handling stray and missing dogs

I

f your dog has ever gone missing you know what a relief it is to be reunited. But we all know how easy it is for our pets to run away.

They may get frightened by fireworks or dig under fences or gates may accidentally be left open.

Regardless of the method of escape, special care must be taken with dogs found wandering at large.

There are three things you should always keep in mind if you see a stray dog: the safety of the dog, your own safety, and the safety of others. Whether on foot or in the car, the danger might not be in the situation, but the state of the animal itself.

The dog may be scared, injured, or even diseased.

If the animal appears to pose any threat of biting or attacking, do not approach it. If the animal is safely approachable and friendly and you feel you can safely take the animal with you please advise Roxby Council as soon as practical and an officer will pick the dog up.

Even if the dog is collarless or tagless council staff will be able to identify the owner by scanning the embedded microchip.

Roxby Council staff will also be aware if anyone has reported the dog lost and will quickly be able

to reunite the dog with its anxious owner. Do not assume that just because you found the dog wandering the streets that it was abandoned or unwanted.

We therefore urge members of the Roxby Downs community to contact Council if they find a dog wandering the streets.

Please be mindful that if you decide to take the animal home your actions concerning the dog become your responsibility until the owner is located. Residents may have good intentions in trying to rescue the dog but they cannot determine if the owner is a fit person to own and take care of the animal.

If the animal has escaped into the street it cannot be kept or given away as this is stealing someone’s property.

Remember the animal has a legal owner and the council is the most equipped to reunite owner and animal. Council administers the Dog and Cat Management Act and will deal with all situations legally and appropriately. Ensuring your dogs and cats are registered is vital to this process.

If you have any questions please contact Council on 8671 0010 between the hours of 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. The Afterhours number 0418 892 870.

Score!

Roxby Council’s Water Operations Manager Shane Mills and Tony D’Arrigo.

Did you know? - Water leaks cost you money

A

water leak can go unnoticed until you receive your water bill. There are four easy steps to test your property for leaks:

1. Turn off any taps or appliances using water 2. Record your meter reading. Please ensure your water meter stop tap is left on 3. Don’t use any water for a couple of hours including not flushing the toilet. The most convenient time to do this is usually overnight 4. Read the water meter again and record the reading. If there is a difference between the two readings you may have a leak.

occer is one of the easiest sports for children to learn and can be played at almost any age.

Once children are old enough to run and kick a ball, they are old enough to play soccer. Of course, not all children will grow up playing soccer their entire lives, but soccer is a great way to introduce children to sport and new friends.

With that in mind, Roxby Council has recently installed a set of junior goals at the town oval.

Now everyone can enjoy kicking the ball and playing soccer socially with family and friends.

The goal posts have also been wel-

comed by Tony D’Arrigo who coordinates the local junior soccer program.

The program which currently has 60 children participating provides children as young as five years old with the opportunity to learn to play and enjoy soccer.

Training sessions are held weekly on a Tuesday afternoon with games played on Sunday mornings.

So if you are looking for a fun activity to do with your child, why not grab a soccer ball and bring them down to the town oval for a kick around?

To get involved in the junior soccer program please contact roxbylink on 8671 0500.

Hectic Mayhem school holiday success

JOINING FORUMS If you would like to join a forum and would like more information please contact the following people.

SPORTS and REC FORUM

T

he recent school holidays came alive in Roxby with the second ever Hectic Mayhem School Holiday Program for students in grades 3 – 7.

An initiative of the Youth Forum, the Hectic Mayhem program featured a range of exciting activities from screen printing, to an indoor pool party at RoxbyLink, lantern making, Just 4 Girls day and Learn to Golf.

The Youth Forum has received very encouraging feedback from children, parents and community members, with many commenting that they would like to see a similar program continue in the future.

For many, it is a fantastic opportunity for children to meet with their friends in a safe, supervised environment to socialise, have a good time, and learn something new.

A highlight of the program for many was the Learn to Golf activity.

With Wade Hooper and Damien Condon guiding the participants through the game’s basic skills of driving and putting, we now have a number of budding golfers keenly awaiting the start of the next golf season.

Of course, the Hectic Mayhem program could not have been a success without the generous support of the community groups and members who generously offered their time to support the activities including Denise Foster and Kylie Williams, Body Shop Consultants who hosted the Just 4 Girls day and the Roxby Downs Golf Club, Wade Hooper and Damien Condon who were supported by their employers MPS and Roxby Council, respectively, to deliver the Learn to Golf activity.

The Youth Forum is always looking for new ideas for the Hectic Mayhem School Holiday Program.

If you have a skill or passion you would like to share with our children, or are a member of a community organisation looking to increase participation by children, please contact Kirsten on 8671 0010 or Kirsten.Falt@roxbycouncil.com.au.

New morning netball comp Andamooka spellbound by Holbrook all about fun, friendship Andamooka vs Olympic Dam

T

he schedule was changed around last weekend with the Andamooka vs Olympic Dam game brought forward to the Friday night and the Hornridge vs Rogues games pushed back to Saturday night.

A n d a m o o k a w e re looking to make up for their losing start to the season but were failed to fire batting first and being bowled out for 96.

A great opening spell of bowling by Sebastian Holbrook (2 for 19 off 6) and Jacob Langdon (6 overs for 7 runs) saw last year’s premiers put the clamps on early.

Adrian Harris was again in good form after a slow start to finish with 2 for 28 off 8.

Lucas Holbrook continued his early season good form taking another 4 for 11 off 7.

Tom Kreig gave a couple of chances again for

his 42 opening up with Scott Prior (bowled for 7).

Sebastian Holbrook came to the crease and finished with 32 not out with Langdon joining him to seal the victory with 7 not out giving Olympic Dam their second victory for the season.

Hornridge vs Roxby Rogues

A

fter an easy win in the first week, Hornridge were exp e cting a much tougher task up against a rebounding Roxby side.

Hornridge again fielded some new faces, with three debutants, in Josh Sheppard, Glen Shorrock and Tyson Cox. Hornridge won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first.

Daniel Peglar continued his good form and notched 55 at the top of the order.

Debutant Josh Shep-

pard gave good support early on with a solid 27.

Roxby fought back well with four quick middle order wickets, until Craig Rainsford, and Michael Howard used cool heads to consolidate, and then launch in the last 4-5 overs, putting on 48 together to lift the score to 7/167.

In reply Roxby started cautiously with Brad Rynne and Josh Sheppard bowling in great areas and making it very hard to score, picking up a wicket a piece.

Tommy Barnes continued the good discipline conceding just the one run off his four overs.

Rhett Winter 2 and Cameron Denbesten 3, took wickets mainly due to the pressure from the earlier bowlers.

Tyson Cox and Daniel Pegler then came on to finish off the job.

Fisher always looked threatening before falling for 30 and Cam Viney on debut for Roxby, hit a couple of lusty blows in his 43, to get Roxby to 10/114.

A

new netball competition has been introduced at the RoxbyLink Centre on a Wednesday mornings focusing on attracting a different crowd than the usual netball competitions.

Co-organiser of the group Beck Cooke said the new competition was all about being social and looking at getting people that don’t usually play involved.

“It is a social comp that is aimed at people that don’t normally play and just want to come out and have a bit of fun,” Mrs Cooke said.

“This is the first time something like this has been run for quite some time, but at this stage it is just a six week trial.

“It is a new opportunity for daytime sport.

“People in the town are looking for more of it (daytime sport) so we will see how it goes.”

There are four teams that have registered and will compete on Wednesday mornings at 9am and 10am.

In this completion there is no ladder, no finals, it is purely about having fun.

“It is just about getting people out and about playing netball,” Mrs Cooke said.

“We want to get away from that competition mentality.”

Mrs Cooke along with fellow organiser Regina Qualmann have also increased the size of the creche to allow mums to play.

Both Mrs Cooke and Mrs Qualmann said the first morning, last Wednesday (October 15), was really busy with both plenty of players and plenty of children in the creche.

The pair is hoping the trial goes well and will look to expand the competition if that is the case.

“We’ll see how it goes and hopefully it can increase in the future,” Mrs Cooke said.

‘Schott’ at permanent league spot after best and fairest win WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

F

ormer local Tom Schott was named West Adelaide’s Reserves Best and Fairest recently (Friday October 10).

Reserves coach Shane Pill said after a slow start to the season, Schott adapted well and polled consistently throughout the season.

“He started a new job at the start of the season and it took him a while to adjust to the balance of football and work but a credit to him he sorted it out and had a really good year.”

Pill noted Schott’s work rate as one of the reason for his success as well as the outside midfielder’s great capacity to read the game.

“He had the capability to push back and then be the marking link through the midfield, and he is a great shot at goal too,” he said.

“When he’s playing well he gets his possessions deep in defence, will work down the ground and end up finishing off the play.”

Schott played one league game this season and Pill said if he continues on his good form from this year and keeps developing he could see him in a regular league spot at West Adelaide.

With a “ripper pre-season” followed by a good showing in the trials, Schott could find himself in the league side as early as round one next year.

But Pill said if Schott continued to develop his game, it may not just be SANFL league football he finds himself playing.

“Tom has the attributes that AFL clubs are attracted to,” Pill said.

“If he can continue to take his game to the next level he would definitely be in the mix.

“He definitely has what they (AFL recruiters) are looking for – he has the height, matched with the aerobic capacity and he has the marking and kicking ability.”

Schott has been with the West Adelaide Football Club since moving down from Roxby Downs to play juniors with the club and Pill said it is great to see juniors developing and winning these kinds of club awards.

Schott was not the only former local to win an award on the night with Jaydn Brind taking out the best Roxby Downs player in the WA Under 18’s, following on from his best and fairest for Sacred Heart College Seniors First XVIII. “For a Year 11 to win a best and fairest at a strong footballing school like Sacred Heart as well as polling well in the finals games he played for West Adelaide, he has shown he is one of the better players,” Pill said.

“It (these players winning these awards) is great for Roxby Downs and West Adelaide to continue their relationship and great to see kids continuing to develop at the club.”
