NB: Any event held in the name of the AGTV needs to be endorsed by the committee.
Professional Learning for Members The demands on teachers have increased over time alongside the development of technology. This has impacted on our volunteer Committee and Network Leaders and the way we deliver services. Professional learning opportunities, student events and services will in most cases be listed on the 'Events and Registration' page of this companion website for online registration either through the AGTV or a partner. AGTV Professional Learning Therefore, all professional learning opportunities will be offered to all individual members including AGTV Network meetings. This means that if a Network Leader organises a professional learning event, it will be listed on the Events page for registration and open to all members for whom it is of interest. In this way, we share the limited time and resources. Distinctions will be made between individual members and non-members for professional learning. Some opportunities for professional learning will only be offered to current individual members. AGTV Services for Students Distinctions will also be made between member and non-member schools e.g. cost to students and access to services. Most opportunities for students will only be offered to students from current member schools.
NB: Only students from member schools may participate in the AGTV Poetry Competition. NOTE RE AGTV-BJR EXCHANGE The AGTV-BJR Student Exchange is open to students learning German from AGTV member schools across Victoria. The AGTV is a registered Student Exchange Organisation with the VRQA and TASC. Contact the AGTV-BJR Coordinator: bjr@agtv.vic.edu.au More information under: Exchanges paused until further notice.
