"..an outstanding example of community engagement."

12/19/2016

 
The TAP is a partnership between Timboon P-12 School and our regional industries, businesses and community with over 346 individuals providing direct curriculum assistance to teachers and students since the TAP began in August 2012.
In 2016, the TAP has been showcased on ABC’s Landline, the PIEFA (Primary Industries Education Foundation of Australia) Conference in Canberra, the Deakin University Geelong STEM Educational Conference, a virtual conference for Deakin MTeach students and introduced at the Cities Division of the Department of the Prime Minister pathways workshop in Launceston as an opportunity to improve employment pathways, retention and attainment where it was cited by participants as an outstanding example of community engagement and “…a workshop highlight”.

Christmas, chickens & cheer

12/1/2016

 
To conclude our chicken community partnerships for 2016 the Year 6 students were invited back to Timboon Healthcare Service as part of the Planned Activity Group’s preparation for Christmas festivities. Students and chickens were decked out in Christmas attire and chook cuddles and stories were shared including ‘Wombat Divine’. Ancestries were established with PAG members knowing many of the parents and grandparents of the students involved. Thank you to Kim White and Gaye McVilly for organizing our visit and we look forward to contiuing this relationship in 2017.
