WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?

• MTAQ is a group of members who have established a long-term commitment to:
  • fostering curiosity, imagination, knowledge and enthusiasm for ‘real world’ science through the provision of education in Marine and Aquatic skills and knowledge at the Primary, Middle and Secondary school levels.
  • establishing community and government partnership projects to enhance these phases of learning.
• The end result of these partnerships is an impressive list of Publications, Professional Development Programs, Agreements, Certificates, Memorandums of Understanding, Marine and Aquatic curriculum exchange, Workshops, and Conferences.
• In 2004, Minister of Education Anna Bligh awarded MTAQ members major awards for syllabus development.
• In 2010, Minister for Education and Training Mr Geoff Wilson awarded our Association the prestigious Doherty Award for fostering community and government partnerships.
