The GIPPYAg project will be hosting a series of free Teacher Professional Development Workshops across Gippsland in Term 3 & 4, helping teachers increase their capacity to incorporate food and fibre concepts into their teaching practices and classrooms.
Bairnsdale will be the first workshop on the 30th of August. Participation is free, but registrations are essential. Click here for more info and other locations.

There's been a fantastic response so far to the BrainSTEM Industry Mentor program, and with a number of Gippsland schools wanting to participate in the program, we are still searching for more mentors! If you'd like to inspire the next generation workforce and help a small group of students with a food & fibre industry challenge across 12 weeks - we'd love to hear from you. The students will look to you for leadership and guidance as they work on developing a solution to the problem. It's a great opportunity to give back to the sector whilst seeing problems from a different perspective as you connect with local students. To register your interest by the end of this week, click here.
