In Memory “Erin Paige Murray”
The commencement of the semester last year was a very difficult time for the campus, with the sad passing of DVM I student Erin Murray.
Erin was a classmate and a friend to many and her death has impacted staff and students significantly.
It was clear that Erin had a passion for wildlife and had made a significant contribution to the Adelaide Wildlife Appreciation Group (AWAG) in her time at the Roseworthy Campus.
Last year, Erin received the inaugural “Wildlife Achievement and Encourage-ment Award” for 2014 – a prize presented by AWAG with the support of wildlife veterinarian Wayne Boardman to a student that demon-strates the most enthusiasm for wild-life.
This prize was accepted by Erin’s family at the Schools end of year prize and awards ceremony.
A proposal from AWAG last year included a recommenda-tion that some kind of fauna box be placed on campus in memory of Erin.
In accordance with this sugges-tion and given Erin’s commit-ment and passion for wildlife we have placed the following boxes in trees along the walkway, adjacent to the library.
There are four boxes located in separate trees – they have been placed approximately five
to six metres high.
We are hopeful that this is a fitting way to honour Erin’s passion for animals and wildlife and the contribution that she made to others during her time here at the Roseworthy Campus.
Our hope is that the fauna boxes would attract some different species into the heart of the campus and provide a shelter for the animals that Erin loved so much.
It may also be a place where those closest to Erin find some peace as they reflect on her life and connect with wildlife.
Rest in peace Erin.

THE DISABILITY SERVICE
Have you got a medical condition that impacts on your studies? Do you need support to manage this condition and your studies? If so, maybe you should register with the Disability Service.
The Disability Service can help you manage ways to accommodate your disability whilst at Uni so you can focus your energies towards your studies. We not only look at physical or practical assistance, but we also look at ways to improve study habits in the University environment. If you’re worried about your privacy, please don’t be. We value your privacy. Our strong commitment to confidentiality supports all students that we assist.
What types of disabilities do we support?
Student disabilities can include a wide range of issues:
Learning disabilities (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or writing and reading difficulties)
Medical conditions (such as Crohns Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or other physical issues)
Mental illness (an anxiety disorder such as OCD or PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia)
Sensory impairments (vision or hearing)
Mobility issues
Brain injury (such as strokes or injuries caused by accidents)
Disabilities and conditions do not have to be permanent. We assist students with temporary medical issues such as those caused by sporting accidents (a fractured limb).
How can the Disability Service assist you?
We can work out ways that you can fulfil the expectations of your studies whilst maintaining the required academic stand-ards. Sometimes people can feel overwhelmed about being faced with these expectations. Remember, it is not about avoiding these expectations, it is about working with them.
Some of the ways we can help
Loan equipment
Negotiating adjustments
Assistance and confidence to approach lecturers
Alternative exam arrangements

After the success of O’Week and
RO’seball at the beginning of the year, the RACSUC committee recruited four
additional members in order to make
the rest of the year just as great. Wes-
ley Halse, Mara Hoebergen, Tobi Lear-
ey and George-Henry White were vot-
ed on to the committee. We would like
to welcome them on to the team, thank
them for their contributions already
made and we look forward to working
with them for the rest of the year.
We ran two pub nights in Semester 1 to our Gold sponsors the Willaston
Hotel. Attendance at these was mixed,
with great attendance to the first night
and a disappointing turn-out to the
second night. Then we turned our
attention well and truly towards
Re-O’Week, our celebration during the first week of Semester 2.
Re-O’Week overall was a great
success. We ran three events over the
week: Hen’s and Buck’s on the
Monday night, an ‘Anything But
Clothes’ party on the Wednesday
night, and a country pub crawl on the
Thursday night. The biggest success
of the week was probably the Hen’s
and Buck’s on Monday night. We trav-
elled up to Wasleys where a mock
wedding ceremony was held in the
Institute Hall to join two of our eager
first year residents in holy matrimony.
Attendance at the event was above
and beyond what we expected and
everyone had a great time. We once
again congratulate the bride and
groom, Imogen Geh and Mitchell
Crago. Also we thank the Wasleys pub
for hosting us as well.
Wednesday night was also a great
night with some very impressive
costumes on show- all without any
traditional clothes. Thursday night was
also a success with good attendance
on the pub crawl and awesome sup-
port from the pubs we visited. Thank
you to the Freeling Hotel, Ridley Arms
Hotel in Wasleys, Leitch’s Roseworthy
Pub and the Willaston Hotel.
We have two major events left for the
year. Charity Ball will be held on the
Thursday of Week 6 (3rd of Septem-
ber) after the College Formal dinner
for this term. This year we will be
raising money for a very topical issue-
mental health- by donating the profits
of the night to Beyond Blue. If anyone
would like to donate something for the
raffle, then please let us know! Theme
and more details TBA. Additionally we
are beginning planning on the Waite
vs Roseworthy football match. We
will once again host the match, likely
on the Wednesday of Week 10 (15th
of October), after the mid-semester
break. Get excited for one of the big-
gest nights of the year and support the
footballers and netballers as we build
on last year’s success!
Christopher Smith
RACSUC President.
See you there!

AVSA Student Association
The second semester for the year has arrived and has brought with it many exciting AVSA events and many fond memories of the recent functions!
The Pub Crawl last term was a huge success, with many members and non-members donning this year’s t-shirt with the winning logo design and heading into the city for a night of fun (not all of it alcohol-induced, we assume!). The pub crawl student t-shirt design competition will likely be opened to students again next year following an influx of amazing designs during this years contest! Thank you to all who entered, hopefully you will get another shot to enter next year.
Industry Night and the Suture Work-shop are well on their way, so we hope to see many of you on the night to listen to some interesting talks, meet some of the leading graduate employers and refine your suturing skills.
The major event coming up is the an-nual AVSA Vet Ball on the 15th of August. This year we have an Arabian Nights theme, so we hope to see a few people dressed up for the event! We have also shifted the location closer to home, at the Hilton Hotel in the CBD. Entertainment on the night will include a DJ, photographer and a prize ceremony for the winners of each year level’s ‘best lecturer’! (Plus a surprise performance!). Vet Ball gets bigger and better every year, so we are excited to see everyone enjoying themselves on the night.
After Vet Ball we will begin prepara-tions for the Revue which will hopeful-ly be just as entertaining as it was last year. We are also getting organised for the Vet Student Conference to be held in Adelaide early next year-there are more details on their way but it’s looking amazing so far!
AVSA is always interested in opinions from our classmates , so if you have any opinions or suggestions, please pass them on to your student representative. Hope to see you all at the upcoming events!
For membership information, please contact Sarah Nicholls at

Production Animal Special Interest Group
A student’s Introduction to Pigs,
and Pig Club—Lizzy Davey
Four years ago I was introduced to the Roseworthy Piggery as part of the Animal Husbandry and Handling curriculum. Growing up as a ‘city girl’ with a love for animals, this introduc-tion could only be described (to this day) as traumatizing. Being a particu-larly warm day, my nose and throat burnt whilst I covered my ears in shock at the incredible noise. I had never seen the magnificent size of a sow before; in fact I don’t think I’d had any introduction to pigs in my life other than ‘Babe’. After the stench removed itself from my pores and clothes, I swore I would never work with pigs, in pig production industries, or experi-ence pigs in any way again. These animals were so large; they had human-like features, and are known to be highly intelligent. The piggery envi-ronment had scared me forever, and I was terrified of these animals.
In July, my good friend Belinda Halli-well approached me, to ask whether I wanted to join Pig Club, as part of the Production Animal Special Interest Group at the University of Adelaide (PASIG). Thinking this was nothing short of a cruel joke I of course signed up to help her. The objectives outlined the current need for an environment in which students could be introduced to pigs, as an alternative to intensive pro-duction systems, and outside the aca-demic assessment environment. With
her assurance I wouldn’t have to actu-ally touch the pigs, I was inspired by her passion to provide students with a ‘softer’ introduction to these animals.
The key aim of this club is to provide students a positive experience with pigs, to inspire them, and to show them how ‘cool’ pigs really are. Oppor-tunities for students to experience being involved in pig related activates, whilst forming positive relationships between both the animals and industry professionals from within, and external to the University, is integral to the Pig Club’s aims. After working with Belin-da, and the student supervisors I was amazed by their dedication, and hon-estly could not support this project enough. If this was an opportunity when I was in first year – my aversion to pigs might have not been so severe.
Pig Club is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn more about pigs, their natural behaviors, breeds, nutri-tional requirements, common diseas-es, cognitive skills, pig showing and of course improve their animal care and pig handling skills in a non-academic environment. It also serves as a great platform for networking with industry and creating a positive presence and linkage with the wider community.
A very big thankyou to our sponsors (Pork CRC, Australian Pork, Laucke Mills, SchuAm Pork, Lienert Australia, Gawler landscaping supplies, and the
University of Adelaide) for their generous contributions and time supporting Pig Club. With their help and the devotion of Belinda and the student supervisors they have managed to put together an incredible environment (aka. Piggy Hilton), and opportunity for students to show the animals they’ve all put much time and effort into at the Royal Adelaide Show this September with the Pig Show team (which will expand upon the existing Steers and Intercollegiate Meat Judging teams.) Pig Club members are currently attending train-ing for pig showing, clicker training, handling practice, behavioral learning and observations, field trips, educa-tional sessions on disease, and general husbandry practices.
We look forward to the Pig Club dinner at the end of the year, and hope fellow students will come and support us at the Show this September. If anyone is interested in Pig Club, find us on Facebook: PASIG Pig Club, or contact myself (Lizzy Davey) or Belinda Halliwell.

Adelaide University @ the National Merino Challenge 2015
This year, the University of Adelaide set up its first team to participate in the annual National Merino Challenge. We trained and registered 11 students for the event, which was held at the Ade-laide Showgrounds from Saturday 9th May to Sunday 10th May, with second-ary and tertiary education students from around Australia participating. This competition has been running for three years now, each year at a differ-ent location, and focuses on three key aspects of the Merino industry in Aus-tralia: Wool, Breeding, and Production.
We trained over 2 days, prior to partici-pating in the competition. These days were run with the help of Phil Hynd, Wayne Pitchford, Haylee Clifford, Octa-via Kelly, and the use of
Roseworthy facilities. We looked at wool quality and pricing, sheep visual qualities and condition, breeding se-lection, and calculating nutritional needs. These training sessions were valuable in building the team and gain-ing knowledge and skills.
The competition involved seven activi-ties focusing on wool, breeding, and production, as well as an additional career’s panel activity that gave stu-dents interested in livestock and the sheep and wool industry a chance to investigate what sort of job opportuni-ties would be available in the future and the most effective way of pursuing them. During the competition, stalls were set up from various companies in the industry to talk to students about future opportunities. We also got the opportunity to hear a talk from Steven Read from Michell’s about their pro-cessing plant in Salisbury, which was extremely interesting and beneficial.
The students and industry members were invited to a dinner on Saturday evening, which gave us a great chance to interact with people from other schools and universi-ties that had similar inter-ests as well as talking to people within the industry.
During the dinner, we received a talk from Shannon Warnest (world champion shearer) who talked about how his shearing abilities progressed over the years and how he adapted to changes in the industry.
After the competition ended, awards were given out to the top scores. The competition was divided into secondary and tertiary sections, with awards given to the top schools, top scores in each division (wool, breeding, production) and top overall score. Caitlin Berry, a student and member of the Adelaide University team, received the top score in the Breeding category, which is an amazing achievement. Caitlin says of the competition, “It was a great experience being able to meet people within the industry and to learn more about the many techniques of processing wool.”
The National Merino Challenge was a
great experience for the students of
the Adelaide University team and we
look forward to participating in the
competition in future years.

Roseworthy College Netball
We have three teams playing in various grades of the Monday night competition at STARplex, Gawler in 2015. The games are quick, the competition is (somewhat) fierce and laughs are endless. Although we don't routinely train and our skills may not be as fine tuned as some of the other teams, we love to be out on the court and begin our week on a high. Sport is such a fantastic stress reliever and allows all of the ladies to form new friendships, take a break from study and have some fun on and off cam-pus.
Unfortunately the season is already underway for 2015, but we are always happy to hear from new recruits to join trainings or to be kept on a fill-in roster.
For any further enquiries please con-tact Chelsea Smart (Vice-President): [email protected]
Keep an eye out for the ever popular MIXED netball tournament - taking place later in the year at Rose-worthy Campus!
FUNDRAISING
We currently have a Cadbury Chocolate Drive going on campus - you may have seen the familiar chocolate boxes around! The profits from these sales allow the club to heavily subsidise netball playing fees and continue to support ladies wanting to play netball for Roseworthy College.
Thank you for your support!
