   Comments: Programs offered to students by CSIRO are important in inspiring young people to consider career and study in the sciences. They provide an extra offering outside of school where students can meet and network with like-minded people. It allows students to see that science can be interesting and that there is a life and aspirations outside skateboarding, computer games and hanging out at Cas.

   Comments: The CSIRO have been invaluable in the classroom with all their programs. It would be an absolute shame to cancel their funding. Science is an interactive and breathing living subject, and CSIRO drives that home to the students. When they come to do the programs, students are alive and engaged and interested and asking questions. This can only be a positive thing.

   Comments: If delivering interactive, engaging and motivating science programs to 12,000 students last year isn't considered a frontline service that should be exempt from a cutback, as per the Chief Minister's advice, I don't know what is.

    Comments: Minister, don't cut your nose to spite your face. You sure can afford $100K or so a year for the sake of the NT children's love for science education that has the backing of the foremost science research organisation of the nation!

    Comments: The CSIRO program (not the school teachers) inspired my son (age 8) so much that he wants to become a chemist! Isn't there a shortage of scientists in Australia? Why destroy such a good and established program?

    Comments: St John's College has used the CSIRO facilities or programs over 15 times in 2012. These inlcude the features listed below. It is a fantastic program and very well run. It would a massive shame if this was scrapped. Currently CSIRO through the Education Officer provides: • in-kind support for activities to increase awareness of science education both locally and remotely, • supports activities such as the Engineering Challenge, NT Space School, Young Scientist awards night, all of which are enjoyed by a large number of NT students • hands on programs for special needs schools, • work experience for students, • National Science Week community events, and more • Provides “Lab on Legs” programme to give schools the opportunity to undertake exciting science experiments they may not otherwise have access to • Supports remote schools in delivering science activities • Provides most Stage 2 Biology classes with the valuable opportunity to undertake experiments they could not otherwise run, e.g. DNA electrophoresis, microbial investigations and others • Supports the activities of the Scientist in Schools programme

    Comments: The programs offered by the CSIRO Science Centres complement those that can be offered by schools. They provide very rich, well constructed Science experiences for students. Many of these programs are simply not possible for classroom teachers to access elsewhere.. This planned action is very short-sighted and destructive one that will narrow the view of NT students even further. Shame!

    Comments: Northern Territory children already miss out on so much that is offered to the youth of the rest Australia. Don't take away this important inspirational link to many science based professions available to young Territorians of the future. My three boys aged 5, 7 and 9 will be extremely disappointed.

    Comments: The CSIRo have run a few programs for us over the last few years. the students enjoy going to the education centre and enjoy the CSIRO running experiments here at school. THey also provide fantastic programs for our indigenous studnts to keep them engaged and curious about science.

    Name: Anonymous on Nov 1, 2012

    Comments: CSIRO Science education plays a pivotal role in both educating children across the NT and in providing encouragement for students to further their interest in science through a variety of programs like CREST, Double Helix and others. Teachers do not have the time or the specialist focus that CSIRO Education Officers provide. By stating that the CSIRO Education Centre is "past its use by date" underlines the total lack of understanding the role it fulfils in the NT.

    Comments: NT students especially non Darwin residents are at a disadvantage from isolation. CSIRO has provided extra experiences and opportunities over the years and we don't want to loose this service. Other states have easy access to extra education facilities. CSIRO provides our almost only extra curricular activities.
