Year 11 Agriculture Tocal Excursion

Year 11 have engaged in the Farm Case Study unit both at a working dairy farm and at school. They attended an excursion to Tocal College dairy on 28 May, where students got a brief insight in to the workings of a dairy farm as an agricultural business. There was a focus on farm management decisions such as soil testing, herd organisation, WH&S, technology and marketing. Back at school, the class has been managing their own project of building a new netted garden area which will be a key aspect of future farm activities. Through this they have demonstrated commendable leadership, teamwork and safe work practices.
