15 Apr 2010
Ten South Korean students have joined five compatriots who arrived in 2009 to enjoy a warm welcome to Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga, part of an expanding collaboration that sees Korean students complete the final two years of undergraduate degrees through CSU’s Faculty of Business. The students are living in the CSU student accommodation at Thurgoona, allowing them to enjoy living and developing friendships with other students. Ms Kim Ji Su, or Sue, said she enjoyed the lively interaction between lecturers and students which was very different to university classes in South Korea, while Mr Choi Kuk Jin said he enjoys playing tennis and other sports which were very expensive in his home country. Head of CSU’s International School of Business and Partnerships, Associate Professor John Atkinson, said the students were “enjoying their educational experience in Albury-Wodonga” and that the number of students from South Korea at CSU in Albury-Wodonga is expected to grow. The first group of Chinese students are due to commence a new Master of Business course based in Albury-Wodonga in the middle of 2010.
Media Note: Two South Korean students living at Thurgoona and Associate Professor John Atkinson will be available for interviews at 11am tomorrow, Friday 16 April, at the CSU Business building, off Elizabeth Mitchell Drive, Thurgoona.

15 Apr 2010
Culcairn senior AFL coach and Charles Sturt University (CSU) graduate Mr Luke Donnan has joined the University’s School of Community Health as a lecturer. The 2007 graduate from the CSU podiatry course has returned to Albury after working for two years in a Wagga practice. “It is great to be back in Albury in a teaching position having already been a student here. I have also completed a degree in human movement in Melbourne, so I think this fits nicely with podiatry, especially in high impact sports such as AFL. There are plenty of aches and pains in the district after a weekend of winter sport, and CSU has established a special clinic combining expertise in podiatry and physiotherapy to tend to these pains and strains.” Prior to leaving Albury, Mr Donnan was a clinical educator in the CSU Allied Health Clinic, which runs public clinics with podiatry and other allied health students supervised by qualified professional staff.
Media Note: CSU podiatry lecturer Mr Luke Donnan is available for interviews and pictures at 10am on Friday 16 April in the CSU Allied Health Clinic, corner of Olive and Guinea Streets, Albury.

13 Apr 2010
Ms Kath Read has travelled from South Australia to take part in residential classes in Orange as part of her distance education studies in Ecological Agricultural Systems at Charles Sturt University (CSU). Tired of sitting at a desk in her career as a successful graphic and web designer, Ms Read decided to quit her job and complete a permaculture course in Adelaide. Having gained the certificate, she has now moved on to a degree which she hopes will see her consulting in third world countries, ensuring farms can be more sustainable. “If you want to get somewhere and be taken seriously, I think a degree is the best thing you can do,” Ms Read said. “By coming along to the residential classes, I can meet like-minded people taking the course, and bounce ideas around before heading back home and continuing my studies.” Residential schools for distance education courses are taking place on CSU campuses across central and southern NSW throughout the week.

07 Apr 2010
A visiting international expert on the transition of children from preschool to formal schooling will discuss the effects on children of starting school in a seminar to be hosted today, Wednesday 7 April by Charles Sturt University (CSU). Professor Inge Johansson from the University of Stockholm in Sweden will speak on Transition from preschool to school: some experiences from Sweden and future challenges at the seminar to be held at the CSU Murray School of Education in Albury-Wodonga. “In Sweden, nearly all children go to preschool before they start school up to the age of six years, moving from one state of familiar surroundings to new experiences, from one educational culture to another,” Professor Johansson said. “How does this affect the children and their forming of identity? What is the role of parents and teachers in the transition? What can we learn from research in this field and what are the challenges for the future?” Event organiser Professor Bob Perry said Professor Johansson’s visit highlights the importance the Murray School of Education places on bringing international expertise to regional Australia.

06 Apr 2010
The effective management of diabetes, one of Australia’s major health problems, will come through input from a range of health professionals, not just a general practitioner (GP), says Professor of Rural and Remote Pharmacy Patrick Ball of Charles Sturt University (CSU). In response to the Federal Government’s plan to keep the growing number of diabetics out of hospital, Professor Ball said one-on-one professional input from diabetes educators, dietitians, pharmacists, physiotherapists and exercise physiologists are needed to tackle the health problem. “While additional resources are welcome, the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s plan seems to lack a clear appreciation of how the outcomes will best be delivered, particularly in inland Australia,” Professor Ball said. “While the GP must always be kept in the information loop, routing all the resources through already over-worked general practices is unlikely to be the best way to achieve the outcomes for which the government is aiming.” Professor Ball believes the successful control of Type 2 Diabetes requires that the diabetic takes their prescribed treatment but successful management also requires a change of diet and lifestyle. “This has to come from the person, the family and the community. How can one person change their diet if the rest of their household will not? How can people walk more if we don’t have safe streets and pavements?” questioned Professor Ball.

Parents of Newcastle senior high school students will be able to discuss life after high school with regional university advisers at the Hunter School of Performing Arts on Wednesday 21 April. Local mother of two, Ms Brenda Powell, whose youngest son is in Year 12 at the Hunter School of Performing Arts, believes the session will be of great benefit to anyone with a senior high school-age child. “It’s a great opportunity to look at the alternatives to our closer universities,” she says. “I don’t think a lot of people realise that regional universities can give their children a fantastic university experience. Living away from home means students can immerse themselves into university life and develop skills they wouldn’t necessarily get if they were living at home and just visiting the campus to attend lectures.” The Parent Information session is part of the Regional Universities Road Show which sees Charles Sturt University, Southern Cross University and the University of New England pooling resources to bring university information to those who need it.
Media Note: The Regional Universities Road Show will be in Newcastle on Wednesday 21 April holding a Parent Information session from 6.00pm at the Hunter School of Performing Arts, Lambton Road, Broadmeadow.

A paramedic from the South Australia Ambulance Service brings a different perspective on pre-hospital ambulance practice to her new role as a paramedic educator at Charles Sturt University (CSU). Professor of Paramedic Practice and Leadership at CSU’s School of Biomedical Sciences in Bathurst, Professor Peter O’Meara, welcomed the appointment of Ms Rhiannon Evans, saying, “Rhiannon strengthens the paramedic program through her experience as a recent graduate and her clinical practice. She brings the youth and vitality that was so much a feature of her leadership role within Student Paramedics Australasia (SPA), a special interest group of the Australian College of Ambulance Professionals.” Ms Evans’ first interaction with CSU staff and students was in her role with SPA. “I was surprised at how relaxed and friendly everyone was,” she said. “Even before I applied for the lecturer position, I was being supported and encouraged. I’m a strong believer that a great education is student-driven and is about encouraging students to focus their learning to get the most from their experiences.”
