Ag. Day
We look forward to Ag. Day every year - we go ahead rain or shine - so bring your gumboots and rain coat. Students and families start planning for Ag. Day in Term 3, thinking about what to bring and also start animal training.
Here is a helpful booklet to download if you are bringing a lamb or calf.
Below is an outline of what the day looks like. If you have further questions or thoughts, please contact the office.
