An important feature of the school year is Agriculture Day, which takes place at the end of Term 3 each year.  

This is a time when we celebrate our special environment and the rural community in which we live.  Each child is expected to raise and care for an animal (lamb, calf, chicken or goat).  They ‘show’ them and participate in all the associated activities.  It is a valuable learning experience and a highlight of the year.
