Only eight trainees have enrolled for a fourth course, and these will live and train on board the instructional vessel A. R. McCulloch. In addition to the A. E. McCulloch, a 25-ft. power boat and net boats are also available to the trainees, and instruction will be given again, as in previous courses, in both trawling and seining methods. Basic instruction in net and rope work will take place in the boat shed, and the whole course will last for seventeen weeks. Capt. H. Johnston, who had been technical superintendent of the School since its establishment in 1946, resigned at the end of last year to accept a post with Australian Fishing Industries, Ltd. His successor is Mr. A. O'Grady, himself a former trainee of the school, having passed through its first full course.
