Why? To work with so many different educators from so many different schools with all sized farms and with all different teaching experiences – it just makes my day every day. So, thank you to the NSWAAT members who attended the BGM at the NSWAAT Conference in Tocal in January and nominated me. A BIG thank you to the 42 educators, presenters and assistants who attended and experienced the NSWAAT Conference in TOCAL last January. It was great to finally put faces to emails and continue to build our own networks. Some conference photos appear in this BAAT. Honestly, I do not put myself in the President category, just the ‘helper’ who may know someone who can help you all out. And this is what I really believe our association is all about – so please if you have not renewed your membership or you know of teachers who are not members or you’re at a network day – please take the initiative to promote the benefits of NSWAAT. A big benefit is just by sending an email to [email protected] and asking for what you need – you will not one but many responses of ‘helpful’ resources. Tip: Get your school to pay for the membership! I would really like to thank the outgoing NSWAAT Executive of 2010-2013: Graeme Harris from Farrer (President), Laura Tolley from Farrer (Treasurer), Nicolet Westerhof from Elizabeth Macarthur (Secretary), Ian Baird from Murrumburrah (Technology Wiz) and Phil Hurst for his Public Officer/Email List duties. 2 Get on the BAAT bandwagon With one of the youngest executives elected for some time to take NSWAAT forward from 2013- 2015, we all forward to the pleasure in working for you.

Look out for an email or by our website www.nswwaat.org.au The executive of NSWAAT would like to thank all of our members for their feedback on the recent submissions for Agriculture in the Australian Curriculum. For those who did not see the draft version, we have Agriculture in the Technologies sections with a big reference to food and fibre for Year 7 & 8 years, currently as we have in 9 & 10 and there will be no change for senior years. I would like to extend my thanks to Graeme Harris on the work he has done with the National Association of Agriculture Educators (NAAE) on this. The NAAE Conference is fast approaching for New Zealand from 12-16th January 2014. All current members of NSWAAT will receive a $50 incentive to attend this conference, with the details included in this BAAT. Kudos to Stephen Trickett (above) from Billabong High School who retired from 25 years of HSC Agriculture marking in 2012. This is a massive accomplishment for a dedicated educator. An extended congratulations; to Hayley Mahoney who won the South West Sydney VET Primary Industries’ Teacher of the Year for all her work at Picton High School. We will wait for photos and the citation of your award in the summer edition of BAAT. On the subject of congratulations, I cannot forget our new JA Sutherland Inductee Ivan Gant and Life Member Robert Guest – citations are in this BAAT. Please continue to feed our new BAAT Editor Graham Quintal with stories, photos, resources; – anything – so he can compile BAAT. Become a member and join our Facebook page for instant resources. I’m currently working on retrieving the old HSC online resources for Primary Industries, working with the principals association to manage agriculture assistants in our schools and trying to get all of our professional development courses accredited through the Professional Teachers Council of NSW. However, please continue to send any emails or give me a ring if you require any assistance. Carl Chirgwin ([email protected] 0427 455 389) President 2013-2015 Griffith High School 5 Get on the BAAT bandwagon NSW AG TEACHERS STATE CONFERENCE TOCAL, NSW JANUARY 2013 – ‘PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS’ [source: PIEF February/March 2013 Newsletter] Tocal College was pleased to host the biennial State conference of the NSW Association of Agriculture Teachers at its CB Alexander Campus, Paterson in January 2013. The Conference was addressed by a number of industry specialists and Professor Jim Pratley who is convening the Review of Agricultural Education in NSW also attended. Director of Tocal College, Dr. Cameron Archer said, “The NSW Branch of the NAAE once again proved itself to be dynamic and creative with an excellent program of learning support and other activities”. Perhaps the highlight for some was the livestock handling workshop organised by Sally Bannerman, former agriculture teacher and now specialist officer within NSW Department of Education and Communities on animal welfare. ‘Sally was able to arrange for livestock handling specialist Boyd Holden to present a full day livestock-handling workshop to the teachers’. It focused on hands-on experience with cattle and modelled good pedagogy. Mr. Holden involved two young stock persons who worked the cattle while he critiqued them. Boyd Holden and Sally were subsequently interviewed by Liz Farquhar of the ABC in Newcastle about the workshop and its benefits. “There is strong interest in animal handling and welfare through the community and it is up to us as agricultural educators to step up and demonstrate best practice,” said Dr. Archer Good bloke that Boyd Go get em’ Mick Melino Come here… Boyd Holden pointing us in the right direction 6 Get on the BAAT bandwagon This bloke is a Miracle Worker!!!

The purpose of this study tour is to analyse and compare the Vocational Education and Training (Agriculture/Horticulture/Primary Industries) programs offered to school students in the USA in comparison to Australia and how these articulate or prepare students for post school vocational education and training. I will be travelling to the USA in January 2016 for five weeks. While there, I will visit schools, farms and also attend the Colorado Agriculture Teachers Conference on 29-30th January 2016. I am happy to send a detailed report of my experiences and share what I gained during this study tour with all Agriculture teachers out there. On the 29th of August I went to Sydney Parliament house where I was presented with an award by the Minister of Education Adrian Piccoli.
