   Comments: If The Minister for Education, Ms Lambley, seriously believes that The CSIRO Science Education Centre, its staff and programs are not 'frontline' then she is seriously uninformed about both science and education. She should read the speech in the Parliament on the matter by Ms Kezia Purick (Member for Goyder). Ms Purick explains clearly and simply why the services provided by the CSIRO Science Education Centre are, by any definition, frontline. If Ms Lambley cannot see this, she is not fit to hold her current position as Minister for Education. Perhaps we should adapt Ms Lambley's closing remarks to Mr Michael Gunner (Member for Fannie Bay) in a recent Parliamentary exchange on the matter : I hear what you are saying, Member for Araluen, but I believe you are very wrong.

   Comments: The CLP Govt is supposed to be supporting science and the future education of Territory kids. If there is no CSIRO then there will be no science in the classrooms for students and teachers.

    Comments: Our two eldest boys have Aspergers and some other learning issues. CSIRO education programs are such a benefit to them as they don't excel in much, but this is something that interests them and they don't stand out as unusual when groups of science-interested children get together. It is of benefit to encourage them in school and may well result in them becoming scientists (as that is their field of gifting). Please continue the programs at CSIRO education centre. There is little access to such things within 3000km of Darwin. In Sydney there are options. Here, we really are relying on CSIRO to fill such a void. It is a benefit to society now and in the long run as these children grow and enter careers. We are such a unique place up here. Please keep these programs.

    Comments: It would be a real shame to lose such a valuable program especially when schools and universities are trying to increase enrolments in science and maths - vital skills and knowledge for the future.

    Comments: The CSRIO Science Education Centre is a vital resource for our kids - it is important for NT kids to have the opportunity to access this centre and mix with other kids interested in science. It is a great program.

    Comments: There is a CSIRO Education Centre in all states and territories throughout Australia, but if the CLP decides to cut funding then again the kids of the Northern Territory will be disadvantaged. Which they should not, they should be just as equal as all of Australia. The Programe should continue as we value and need the programs to continue. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/continue-the-csiro-education-program-darwin/

    Comments: I have just contacted the CSIRO education team in regards to their "Labs on Legs" program for our vacation care program in december. What a great dissapointment to be told that they are forced to say they were unable to offer any holiday care programs at this time. On behalf of my staff, parents, and epecially our children who attend our out of school hours care service, I would like to voice my concern over the new organisational structure that has left the CSIRO managers position unfunded, thus leaving the CSIRO science education centre at a likelihood of not continuing . This is a great let down to the local community - the children of the NT have no other accsess to such quality science learning programs, especially programs that are willing to visit vacation care programs, especially in the rural area where we pay hundreds of dollars for a bus into Palmerston alone. This not only leaves our children at a loss and our OSHC service at a loss, but the whole community that rely on programs such as these to get our children inspired to learn. Please, make the right decision when it comes to programs such as this that benifit the greater community. Regards, Jo Fletcher Director Howard Springs School OSHC
