They are enthusiastic and committed to the importance of learning outside of the classroom and their schools are part of successful community partnerships. The brief notes below give some background on each of them.

Chairperson of the local VET in Schools Cluster since its inception, she has also been involved with ASTF projects, Structured Workplace Learning and Skills Recognition. The Cluster initiated a very innovative Skills Recognition Project in 1999 which resulted in a state wide trial by the Curriculum Council this year. The school has applied for Registered Training Organization status and Jo believes that this is very relevant to the schools workplace interface. Her understanding of the world of work has been strengthened by her other interests which have seen her serve for over ten years on significant management committees such as the Great Southern Development Authority, the State School Teachers Union, WA Secondary Principals Association and the Great Southern Regional College of TAFE. Liaison with community personnel such as the Executive Officer of the Area Consultative Committee and the Regional Development Officer of WADOT has also been a feature of her work in this area. |
