Secondary school Agricultural Studies has been full of hands-on learning and activity so far in Term 3!
Caring for calves
Our Year 7/8 students have been busy learning how to lead and care for our school calves, developing confidence and valuable animal-handling skills along the way.
Their enthusiasm and progress has been fantastic to see. We’re also very fortunate to have our Ag Manager, Teresa, whose wealth of knowledge and infectious spirit supports each student’s confidence and learning.
Exploring sheep
Meanwhile, our Year 9/10 students have been exploring their sheep unit, with a focus on wool production and the weaning process of our school lambs.
They also conducted a faecal egg count experiment — a practical and important agricultural practice used to monitor parasite levels and support animal health. It’s been a productive and engaging term so far, with plenty more hands-on learning experiences still to come!
