Professor Ian Brighthope played a significant role in "The Great Debate: Port Hedland vs The Premier," an event held in Perth on November 29, 2024. This debate was centered around the controversy regarding DNA contamination in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, following a motion by the Port Hedland Town Council to suspend these vaccines due to health concerns. The debate was a response to the Western Australian Premier's dismissal of the Port Hedland motion, highlighting a clash between local governance and state policy regarding public health measures.

Unlike many who head to university straight out of high school, Catherine took a different path, living life and gaining experiences until a dream took hold at the age of 33 — the dream of becoming a teacher. She found herself standing at the front of a classroom filled with 30 eager faces. But as she navigated the ins and outs of the education system, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disillusionment. It led her to question the very core of our educational institutions. So, she began to ask herself, what is the true purpose of education? Are we genuinely preparing students for the challenges of life beyond the classroom, or have we become entangled in a system that has lost its way?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PsLRgEYf9E…

In conjunction with a specialised volunteer company, the student is required to design a volunteer experience, implement it, and then reflect on the outcomes upon their return. Leading up to their departure the student has a number of educational and practical interactions with the course coordinator. These interactions take the form of an orientation program, where the student studies the social, cultural, political and economic aspects associated with the country of their placement. In addition to this, the student is taught how to develop a robust risk management strategy. While on placement, the student has an in-country mentor provided to them by the specialised volunteer organisation. In addition to this, the student is required to liaise weekly with the course coordinator to ensure not only that the education objectives are met, but also to manage the student's progress while in-country. Upon their return, each student undertakes a debriefing session with the course coordinator. Moreover, the student is set a number of assessable pieces of work. This includes an achievement report which provides the course coordinator with a detailed summary of how the student added value to the community in which they volunteered. The second piece of work involves a reflective assignment in order to consolidate their experience and aid their career development, with reference to UniSA’s Graduate Qualities. The final piece of work is an academic essay on a development themed topic.…
