How does it work?

• Participating schools receive a blank fibreglass cow (almost life size), to be designed and decorated, while learning about the Australian dairy industry.

• The program is supported by a suite of FREE curriculum linked resources for teachers, found here on the Discover Dairy website, across two key themes of Farm to Plate and Health & Nutrition.

• Participating teachers receive access to the Picasso Cows member dashboard, which houses everything teachers need to successfully complete the program.

• Schools will create a Picasso Cows learning journal, documenting and showcasing students' learning and engagement with their chosen theme.

• PLUS there's a chance to win some amazing prizes!

* Although the cow is valued at approx. $1000, it is expected that schools will cover the delivery cost of $300.
