Conservation and Land Management

"Briliant"..."Fantastic"..."Awesome"....Execellent".....Words to describe the attitude of the CLM students who have all passed 3 of the modules of the 6 set out for the course. The students were assessed on basic work place practices on their code of conduct, car checks, machinery / hand tools check and identifying environmental issues on work places. Head lecturer, Adrian Hendry who normally comes out for 3 days from Charles Darwin University was also impressed with the level of commitment of the students to attend class on time and also answer questions for discussion in class. The students have participated in all activities set by Adrian and myself and were all enthused on knowing more about safety work practices.
The course has also involved the students to participate in activities / exercises set by CSIRO who were also impressed by the positive attitude of the students. Students in this case went out on numerous field trips out to various parts of Melville Island in Pickataramoor and Taracumbi to collect data, measure statistics, lead the group with GPS and take part in back burning and also be part of a DVD  to be shown as an educational documentary to the people of the Tiwi Islands.  Very proud of the students to have a go and work as part of a team.
