There’s an African proverb that states, “It takes a village to raise a child”. Whilst not quite a village, Timboon P-12’s TAP community has at its core innovative and creative teachers, who are backed by our supportive industry and community members. In 2018, there were 99 individual community and industry personnel involved in the development and delivery of TAP curriculum and associated teacher PD. This equates to 264 hours, or $10,577* of imputed value for time generously donated to support TAP initiatives. (*Dollar value of unfunded industry time calculated at $40/hr.) Since August 2012 there have been almost 370 local community members and businesses – farmers and other agriculturalists and horticulturalists – working with beef, ducks, sheep, dairy, chickens, lavender, chooks; agricultural service providers from fencing contractors to vets to agricultural research scientists; major dairy processors and boutique food manufacturers; community service providers, and parents generously sharing skills and knowledge with our students and teachers. To our agricultural partners in 2018 we have added engineers and others from the energy sector. We thank you all for your interest and support and here’s to many more TAP endeavours in 2019 Comments are closed.
