Waite Trust (Activities on and Use of Certain Trust Land) Bill

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (17:57): I want to make a brief contribution regarding this bill, noting that I am an old scholar of Urrbrae Agricultural High School, along with my brother, and some of my cousins from multi-generations—it is a great school.

I note in the past the vision of Peter Waite in 1913 to have a place of agricultural science at the Waite Institute and also a place of agricultural learning. It is my one wish in these very brief comments that we will see an outcome that not only gives benefits to the Sturt Football Club in what this Waite Trust bill is doing but also enriches the education experience at Urrbrae Agricultural High School. It was a school that I greatly enjoyed attending at the age of 15 and 16 when I was there.

I did not enjoy Adelaide that much, and I am still not that much in love with Adelaide, being a country boy, but it was a great school and still is a great school. I just hope that through the committee stage we can find how this enhances the education experience and is an opportunity for the Sturt Football Club and others to work together in an appropriate way regarding these changes to the Waite Trust.
