Courtney Hodder's book "Billy and the Magical Boab Tree: A Fight with a Nasty Mite" is being launched in Broome on 14 December 2009.
Courtney is a Bachelor of Health Science HSMD3316 student who undertook her practicum at WoundsWest. Courtney's project was to write a book for children throughout the Kimberley in an effort to reduce the prevalence and incidence of scabies among indigenous and non-indigenous children.
Courtney’s book was very well received by all those involved and includes a foreword by David Wirripunda. The book is being launched at Cable Beach Primary School on 14th December from 10.30 - 11.30 and will receive publicity through our Public Relations section.
This is a significant achievement for Courtney and certainly reflects positively on the Bachelor of Health Science and its graduates.
