PUPILS at Sacred HeartPrimary in Palmerston had alesson literally out of theblue from a visiting Navyhelicopter crew.

Pilots landed an Agusta109E chopper on theschool playing field onTuesday morning as part ofa program to giveyoungsters a close-up lookat some of the Navy’sequipment.

The helicopter, from 723Squadron based at HMASAlbatross in New SouthWales, is currently deployedin Darwin to support a seaexercise.

The children quizzedNavy personnel on thecopter’s size, speed,manoeuvering andweapons before climbingon board for pictures.

They were given Navy

caps and souvenir bookletsabout the Navy centenaryin 2011. ‘‘It was cool to getinside the helicopter, and it

was more comfortableinside than I expected,’’Tristan Chambers, 11, said.

The chopper will also visit

Good Shepherd LutheranCollege in Howard Springsthis morning. The Agusta109E is used by the Navy to

build aircrew experiencebefore they transition tomore complex operationalhelicopters.

Top End seniorstake their issuesto the topSENIOR Territorians came out in support of aged care

reform during a visit by a federal minister this week.

Retirees filled a lecture theatre at the Museum of the

NT to take part in one of a series of consultation

sessions being held around the country by Federal

Mental Health and Ageing Minister Mark Butler.

Mr Butler is collecting feedback from aged care users

to inform the Federal Government’s response to a

significant national report published last month calling

for a complete overhaul of the system.

He said some local concerns were similar to those in

other regions, such as the need for support for people to

live at home as long as possible.

But there were specific calls from Top End seniors for

reform of the provision, location and staffing of aged

care services, he said.

One of the strongest issues raised was about the need

for increased home maintenance support for seniors

who were still living independently but needed help

looking after their properties.

‘‘This was a really important opportunity to hear the

thoughts of service users in the Top End and they

delivered clear messages,’’ Mr Butler said.
