Mob Good News Stories
Defence Force Visit
It was great to have Flight Sergeant Scott McKenzie and Corporal Terri Ellis from the Defence Force visit the Mob to talk to our kids about the Navy Indigenous Development Program (NIDP) and the Army Indigenous Development Program (AIDP) . These programs run by the Navy and the Army help cultivate individual’s social skills, language, literacy and numeracy skills and leadership and confidence capabilities.
Both programs are predominantly for candidates who don’t meet the education criteria for joining ADF (Year 10 English & Maths) and upon successful completion they will receive a Cert II in Skills for Work & Study. A candidate would stay with likeminded people undergoing the same training together.
If a candidate is successful in completing the AIDP or the NIDP they will be eligible for direct entry to the Royal Australian Navy or the Army for a full time career.
Good luck to all our kids who applied.
The Review Panel also held consultations with local organisations throughout the region.
BOOKS FOR KIDS Thanks to the Robinson family from Queensland who donated six boxes of new children’s books to the Mob kids. Reading and sharing stories can help children get to know sounds, words and language. They can also spark a child’s imagination and help them learn how to concentrate and develop early literacy skills. Alexander chose Bob the Builder as his first book and loved it when the main character ‘Muck’ sneezed ‘A-a-a-a-t choo!’. The Mob will be delivering the books to kids throughout the Barkly region. If you have children aged 4-12 years who would like some books to read at home give our Community Connectors a call on 0499 800 975 or drop into the Mob and collect some.
