NSW Association of Agriculture Teachers Inc. (NSWAAT) Conference

It may be school holidays, but that didn’t stop NSW Agricultural Teachers taking five days to immerse themselves in professional development and learning to enrich their programs delivered in schools.

The NSW Association of Agricultural Teachers event was held in Goulburn last week under the theme “Taste of the Tablelands” saw the participants engaging with all aspects of the supply chain, from meat science and learning to butcher a leg of lamb to add value, right through to the importance of soil.

The unofficial tag-line for the conference became “Dig a Hole” after all participants, including CA’s Jenny Hughes, completed hands on soil testing from a range of experts to get a better understanding of the importance of this resource across all of agriculture.

Cotton Australia led a session with all participants, showcasing its new suite of resources. Participants also workshopped the new Cotton Crop Critters resource, designed to teach students about Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Feedback from teachers will shape the final version of the resource, which is set to be released in February, ready for the school year.
