Nixon to Meet Teachers Over School Sharing Plan
The Minister for the Interior Mr Nixon will meet a deputation from the ACT Teachers Association in Canberra next Wednesday to discuss accommodating Catholic school children at Pearce and Torrens State primary schools during the first term next year. Nixon said he had received the teachers association letter requesting an interview and would not limit discussion, allowing raises on any matter. He had announced on October 24 that six classes of Catholic students would share Torrens and Pearce to ease temporary accommodation in the Woden Valley. The association later sought withdrawal of all teachers from Torrens and Pearce and asked for a deputation to urge reversal of placement in government schools.

The National Memorials Committee will decide Belconnen 7 and about 20 future suburbs after Senate election matters. Prime Minister Holt chairs the committee, with 80 meetings planned soon but unlikely before November 25 Senate sections. Proposed names were not finalized and a pattern for naming remains unclear.
