Trading resumesafter BHP offer

Remedy forlocal roads

OLYMPIC DAM…WMC Resources resumed trading on the Austral-ian Stock Exchange this week following a $7.85 share offer from BHPBilliton.The WMC Board of Directors has unanimously recommended thatWMC shareholders accept the offer, “in the absence of a superior pro-posal”.‘The BHP Billiton offer represents a substantial increase on the cur-rent $7.00 per share Xstrata cash offer and is in the upper half of thevaluation range of Independent Expert, Grant Samuel,’ WMC ResourcesLtd CEO, Andrew Michelmore told The Monitor.“We believe this $7.85 offer represents excellent value for WMC share-holders,’ Mr Michelmore said. “We will work with BHP Billiton to putthe offer to WMC shareholders as soon as practicable.’While the paperwork is still being shuffled back and forwards betweenthe two mining magnates, spokesmen for both corporations are confi-dent that the $9.2 billion deal will go ahead smoothly making BHPBilliton the world’s second biggest copper producer.While at Olympic Dam this week, Premier Mike Rann gave a commit-ment to ensure the proposed expansion of the Far North site go aheadas planned if the merger goes ahead.Mr Rann met with WMC executives in Roxby Downs on Monday todiscuss the latest Centre of Economic Studies Report commissionedby WMC, outlining the economic impact of the expansion on SA’seconomy.“The plan is to increase the life of what is arguably one of the greatestore deposits in the world by a further 70 to 100 years,” Mr Rann toldThe Monitor. “This move is likely to create more than 10,300 jobs inSA during the three-year expansion phase…and leave an additional8400 permanent jobs on completion.”The report also indicates royalties to the SA Government are expectedto more than double to around $100 million a year – more than $5billion over the life of the mine.Under the expansion outline, copper production would more than dou-ble from 220,000 tonnes a year to 500,000 tonnes a year - while ura-nium output could more than triple, from 4000 tonnes per year to 15,000tonnes.Gold production will rise from 80,000oz to 500,000oz per annum -making Olympic Dam one of the largest gold mines in Australia.

The Roxby Downs Indoor Hockey As-sociation recently held a meeting toform a new committee for the 2005season.Unfortunately – only a small numberof people attended this meeting.This was quite disappointing for thecurrent committee as it takes time anda dedicated group of people to ensurethe running of a sporting competition.Due to other commitments, the currentcommittee are unavailable to offer thetime and expertise that they have overrecent years (as was highlighted lastseason).The way things stand at the moment isthat they have even less time availablethis season and we are now desperatefor other dedicated people to take overthe organisation and supervision of thecompetition.It would be a shame to see a competi-tion like Indoor Hockey cease to existin Roxby Downs.Hockey, for the past 16 – 17 years has

catered to the Roxby Downs commu-nity – with the competition ... cater-ing for two-year-olds, right throughto A-Grade players, fostering theirskills of the game, teaching teamskills, learning to take on a leader-ship roles (coaching), right throughto umpiring.It has been an absolute pleasure deal-ing with some of the young peopleand watching them learn and developas players themselves and mentors forthe new players coming into the game.If anyone thinks that they may havethe time available to assist in keep-ing the competition up and running,please contact Rebecca Surendra on8671 9158 during business hours orvia email [email protected], or email Mandie Arnold [email protected] more people get involved, theeasier it will be for everyone!

ON HIS BIKE…Byron Fairlie, 8, was thelucky overall winner of The Monitor’sChristmas colouring-in competition. Byronreceived his own, brand-new bicycle,donated by the Roxby Central ShoppingCentre Traders, represented by AlexBarker. Byron’s family have kept the secretof his win for more than two months. “Itwas perfect timing – it was time for a newbike,” mum Angie Harvey told The Monitor.“I didn’t really believe it when they toldme,” Byron said. “I’m really happythough.”

Byron’s bicycle surprise

Wow! Are you tired? I’m tired!It’s been one crazy fortnight - so much excite-ment and change in such a short period of time.From the second annual Outback Fringe Festi-val - spread across three communities and morethan 200km - to the local cricket grand finals.We played host to the SA Cabinet who got aclose look at some of the community issues fac-ing our region.In the case of Andamooka and the ongoing sagaof its roads, it seems a bumpy bus ride is wortha thousand words - no matter who those wordsare coming from - when you’re asking for a lit-tle extra cash. I guess the extra $40,000 Trans-port SA will hand over this year is just proofthat seeing (or in this case, feeling) is believing.And now the news of BHP Billiton’s bid forWMC...I believe it, and I’m looking forward toseeing it too.But, again, I think it’s important to rememberthat the only way to really understand what’sgoing on in our isolated little part of the worldis to be here and watch it happening.I only hope, after all the years of watching WMCchop and change its management, public rela-tions and financial services on-site, off-site, on-site - that BHP Billiton (if it goes ahead...I know,I know, nothing’s guaranteed) is ready to comeout here and really see what we’ve got going forus. It’s not enough to put your money where yourmouth is - I’d like to see them put their bumswhere their jobs are...in Olympic Dam, RoxbyDowns and the surrounding Far North.So here’s my open invitation - BHP Billiton,come on down and see what we’ve got goingfor us! Check out our sporting bodies, our FringeFestival (great, wasn’t it?), our amazing volun-teers and our dedicated parents and their coun-try-loving kids.If you want our resources then don’t forget theones above ground - our people.WMC - if you’re really leaving, then thankyou,for everything you’ve done for this little part ofSA. I hope BHP Billiton can live up to every-thing you’ve already managed to do for morethan 25 years.

• Less than optimalcognitive develop-ment and perform-ance in infancy andchildhood.

• Risk of diseases inadulthood includingheart disease, diabe-tes, some cancers,stroke, osteoporosis

Our school helps toequip children with theknowledge and skills tochoose and eat healthyfoods.The Reception to Year 9Health Curriculum ad-dresses healthy eatingand choosing to eathealthy foods.How can you supportyour child/ren?• Help students to pack

a piece of fruit orvegetables for our‘Healthy Snack’ timein the morning.

• Encourage your childto drink waterthroughout the dayby bringing a waterdrink container intotheir class.

• Ensure your child hasbreakfast – most im-portant meal of theday and access the‘Breakfast Pro-gramme’ that is runby the school canteen(Term 2) if childrendon’t have time to eatbefore school.

VIPs visit RDAS

COMMUNITY CABINET...Roxby Downs hosted a full meeting ofcabinet this week. During the visit, Premier Mike Rann spoke withstudents, above. Later, he and other cabinet members met withthe school’s captains and staff, below.

RADIO PLAYS…Jessica Katzorke, 11, joined fellow RDASstudents Casey Potts, 14, Taryn Warner, 14, and teacher BenSummerton in performing radio plays at the Outback FringeFestival on Saturday.

School Captains…Congratulations to our newly elected School Captains JessicaMcKinnon and Kaleb Gigney and Deputy School Captain Bree Butler.Student leadership comes with a lot of responsibility to set a positive examplefor their peers.School Captains can not just accept this responsibility while at school but needto live it 24hrs a day.They need to be honest, reliable, hard working, positive in their outlook, influ-ence others positively, continually striving to do their best and have a willing-ness to make our school a better place for all.This is true for all of our Student Voice leadersOur School Captains and Student Voice leaders in all year levels will have anofficial induction ceremony in the stadium at 9.30am on Tuesday 22nd March.All parents and friends are invited to attend.These student leaders will also partake in leadership training by Education Psy-chologist, Kirrilie Smout on Monday 21st March.She will also be the Guest Speaker at our Induction Assembly.Premier Mr Mike Rann Visit…We were most fortunate to have the Premier MrMike Rann, the Education Minister Ms Jane Lomax-Smith, and the Educa-tion Department Chief Executive Mr Steve Marshall, visit our school onMonday.This is the first time that we have had the Premier and Education Minister visitour school and address our student assembly and visit some of our classrooms.Mr Rann and Ms Jane Lomax-Smith spoke to our assembly and took manyquestions from students. The key topic ended up being lava, dinosaurs, andhow much they earned!We then had a quick tour of some aspects of the school – namely our SpecialClass, our Headstart programme and the Premier’s Reading Challenge set up inthe Library.Many thanks to staff and students who had to wait patiently for the visitors toarrive as their plane was help up nearly 30 minutes.Roxby Downs Area School is the largest and best resourced of country schools.All of our special visitors commented favourably on the tour of the school, thepresentation of our students, the wonderful programmes on offer and on thequality and professionalism of our staff.Student Free Days – What are they? Monday, May 2 and Friday, June10…Each school within the state has an allocation each year of 2 Student FreeDays to undertake professional training and development of staff to enhancelearning opportunities for your child here at school. On these days staff will beat work but the school will be closed to students.Please make a note of the dates listed below.Each school within the state also has an allocation each year of one SchoolClosure Day to allow for a day of local significance to allow parents, staff andstudents to attend a significant event eg. Adelaide Show, Field Days, specialevent etc. where the school is closed.Governing Council have granted these two Student Free or Teacher Trainingdays for Monday 2nd May and Friday 10th June. The 2nd May is the first dayof Term 2.The 10th June is the Friday of the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.These dates are not attached to a holiday or long weekend for the staff’s benefitas some may suggest but for conveniences of families.Staff will be engaged in whole school training on the 2nd May in Numeracy &Literacy and June 10th on Curriculum Development in Health/Physical Educa-tion, Science and The Arts.As in other years we look to a date later in the year for our School Closure foran event of local significance in the Adelaide Show.This allows for all parents, students and staff to attend. No-one is to be at schoolthis day.However as in other years our staff has voluntarily elected to use this day forfurther training instead.Very few, if any, other schools do this.It is a measure of the staff’s professionalism and dedication to do their best fortheir students. Our theme for this day will be Student Wellbeing.Importance of Early Childhood …Last Friday I attended the Chief Execu-tive’s Leaders forum in Adelaide and was fortunate to hear an address from aCanadian visiting professor Dr Fraser Mustard.Dr Mustard has received the highest achievement awards from the CanadianGovernment for his contribution to Education.He gave overwhelming evidence that the Early Years are the most critical inestablishing success for children in Literacy & Numeracy in later years.Building ‘brain capacity in the period of conception to two years is critical.This is done by active parenting, playing music, reading to, conversing with,offering experiential opportunities etc.All these build up the neurone interactions and brain capacity critical for im-proved literacy and numeracy.High literacy and numeracy skills is a precursor to a better quality of life in lateryears.

CRICKET...Wanderers continued theirfinals dominance over Olympic Damwith a four wicket victory in RoxbyDistricts cricket Grand Final before alarge and vocal crowd at Roxby Downsoval on Saturday.The Devils held sway in the 1990s butWanderers can claim to be the team ofthe new millennium with three prem-ierships since the club had split sidesin the 2000-2001 season to keep theassociation competition going.‘Man of the Match’ Andrew Bennettwho shared a third wicket partnershipof 148 runs with Des Taylor was themajor difference between the two sidesalthough several dropped catches andthe loss of Mick Hoffmann (injuredfielding) from the bowling crease costthe losing side dearly.OD won the toss, elected to bat andposted 186 for nine after a bright start.An inexplicable middle order battingcollapse and a rearguard action fromthe tail saw the Devils collapse from78 without loss to 7/118.Greg Fiebig (37) belted Ron Gordonout of the attack early and BrianPartington (36) played the opener’s rolewell while Chris Kenny 27, CraigNichols 18 not out and Andy Welling-ton 15 added important runs at the end.Wanderers veteran left arm changebowler Garry Briggs broke the back ofthe strong batting line up with a superb5/26 in eight overs although he slightlytarnished his effort by sending downten wides.Rob Paxton and Matt Watkins weredismissed early in the batting reply, thelatter to a sensational diving catch byGreg Roberts at fine leg, but try as theymay Olympic Dam could not break theliaison between Bennett (94) andTaylor (50) until it was too late.Two wides in the last two overs were

enough for Wanderers to claim victorydespite losing 4/13 late in proceedingsbut with four wickets in hand the re-sult was not in doubt and the Swaggiesdeservedly took the honours for sea-son 2004-05.The individual awards for player per-formance during the season were alsopresented with Andrew Wellington ofOD taking out trophies for the Playerof the Year and the bowling aggregate.Adam Warren of Olympic Dam,Keegan Teare from Rogues, JeremyBlake of Wanderers and Ben Bowes
