Sir - This year the State Government will help sponsor an award program to find South Australia's most outstanding public primary and secondary school students. The purpose of these awards is to recognise not only academic achievement, but also creative accomplishments and the overall contribution of young people to school life. Young people perform to the best of their ability when they have the visible support of their families, peers and community. The awards have been designed to pass on a message to young people that hard work and commitment in all fields of study is to be admired and encouraged. Every public school in South Australia will be asked to nominate a student.
Public students are able to obtain more information from their school if required.
John Seaton, of Morgan met us and showed us around the Port of Morgan Historical Museum, which comprises the old railway station, station masters residence and the Landseers warehouse. Of interest too was John Seaton's comment that he rarely had group bookings wanting to come through the museums. He was rapped when he was contacted and this was evident in his passion and commentary. All in all, it was a very enjoyable day with many saying that they were unaware that all this existed in Morgan. Thanks must go to Emma, John and his volunteer helpers for a memorable day in Morgan.
