The main one being is US. Yes, you as part of US the NSWAAT. At times the NSWAAT has been too busy in our own lives but as a collective group, we have kept the ball rolling for the betterment of Agricultural education. A lot more of my report will be released at Ballina from 11-15th Jan when I fully realise what has been achieved through a Justin Connors 'Networking' session as to be honest I need my fellow peers to help write my report. Speaking of Ballina - kudos to Mick Melino and his dedicated team of Ag teachers for the complete coordination of next year’s conference. Mick has done everything he can and I hope us as members can continue to support these conferences. My final report will be in the post conference BAAT. An update of National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) is that the 2016 Conference in Perth is definitely proceeding and that we are conducting monthly teleconferences to discuss a range of factors affecting us as educators - Tasmanian agricultural education is in dire straits and the teachers that remain, we, as fellow colleagues, need to support. We may even have some Tasmanians at Ballina. Teachers are reminded to make contact with the SAM and Principal about the funds that they receive through DEC based on the survey they completed from David Randall and the State Agricultural Advisory Group (SAAG) - if in doubt contact [email protected] - possibly get David on speaker phone when you have a meeting. In closing, I hope we can all get our schools to pay the $60 for a 2015 membership, we keep helping each other and head to Ballina to enjoy 'networking' Carl Chirgwin President 2013-2015 2 2014 Summer Bulletin No 45 www.nswaat.org.au December 2014 3 2014 Summer Bulletin No 45 www.nswaat.org.au Valid Until Given Name Surname School / Organisation End of: 2015 Teacher of Agriculture Dapto High School 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Gunnedah High School 2015 Teacher of Agriculture Moss Vale High School 2015 Teacher of Agriculture Mudgee High School 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Pennant Hills High School 2014 Teacher of Agriculture St Ignatius College 2014 Teacher of Agriculture St Joseph's College 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Trinity Anglican College 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Trinity Catholic College 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Wee Waa High School 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Wyong High School 2015 Teacher of Agriculture Wingham High School 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Mater Dei Catholic College 2014 Teacher of Agriculture Kooringal High School 2016 Teacher of Agriculture Woodenbong Central School 2014 Teacher of Science Wee Waa High School 2015 Bryon ADAMSON Corowa High School 2015 Megan ATKINSON Elderslie High School 2015 David BAKER Macarthur Anglican College 2015 Dianna BEALE Tumut High School 2014 Susan BEHAN Denison College-Kelso High Campus 2015 Erin BLAKE Hurlstone Agricultural High School 2014 William BLOWES Yeoval Central School 2014 Cathryn BOURNE Maitland High School 2015 Ben BOWMAN Scone High School 2015 Graham BRAMLEY St Paul's College 2014 Eddie BUCKINGHAM Mullumbimby High School 2014 Lynda BUTTSWORTH Jamison High School 2015 Jenny CAINES Mt Annan Christian College 2015 Scott CALLAGHAN Mount Austin High School 2014 James CAUGHEY Hay War Memorial High School 2014 Dale CHADWICK Gundagai High School 2015 Carl CHIRGWIN Griffith High School 2014 Luke COLLINS Yanco Agricultural High School 2014 Steve CONGDON Scone High School 2016 Justin CONNORS Manilla Central School 2014 Ian CRABB Queanbeyan High School 2015 Elena DAGHER Bossley Park High School 2014 Anita DE LA MOTTE Bomaderry High School 2015 Erin DENNIS Lake Cargelligo Central School 2014 Rob DIMMICK Wellington High School 2014 Claire DUGGAN Casual 2014 Christine DUVER Woolgoolga High School 2014 Nicole DWYER Gloucester High School 2014 Susan EARL Red Bend Catholic College 2015 Guy FAHEY Albury High School 2014 Rob FORSBERG St Joseph’s College 4 2014 Summer Bulletin No 45 www.nswaat.org.au Valid Until Given Name Surname School / Organisation End of: 2015 Sarah FOSTER Dubbo Senior College Campus 2016 David GILLARD Wagga Wagga High School 2014 Helen GLOVER Macarthur Anglican School 2015 Milton GOWER Macarthur Anglican School 2015 Richard GRANT James Ruse Agricultural High School 2014 Wayne GREEN Taree Christian College 2014 Neil GRIFFITH Irrawang High School 2014 Belinda HAIGH Dubbo School of Distance Education 2015 Graeme HARRIS Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School 2015 Leonie HARRIS Frensham 2014 Adrian HARRISON St Gregory's College 2015 Lois HARRISON Merriwa Central School 2014 Colin HAWTHORN Red Bend Catholic College 2014 Stuart HEMMINGS New England Regional Office 2016 David HENRY Karabar Distance Education Centre 2015 Michael HOLLAND Scone Grammar School 2014 Janet HOLMES Mulwaree High School 2016 Kristina HOTSON Camden High School 2015 Peter HUMPHRIES Deniliquin High School 2014 Jane HUNTER Camden High School 2015 Grant JACKSON Gosford High School 2015 Charlie JAMES Singleton High School 2015 Jacqui JOHNSON UNE 2015 Karen JOHNSTON Hurlstone Agricultural High School 2014 Ian JUDD St Johns College 2015 Jarrod KELLY Kyogle High School 2015 Prue KESBY St Mary's College 2015 John KILLEEN Bossley Park High School 2014 Ilka KLEPPER Cootamundra High School 2014 Owen KNIGHT Dubbo Christian School 2014 Shayne LAWRENCE Dungog High School 2015 John LEHMAN Yolla District High School 2015 Renae LIDGARD Molong Central School 2015 Scott MACKENZIE GRC Penshurst Campus 2015 Hayley MAHONEY Picton High School 2015 Melissa MARSHALL Moruya High School 2016 Diana MARTIN Murwillumbah High School 2014 Julie MASLIN West Wyalong High School 2014 Peter MATUS Denison College -
