Agriculture classes have been 'out and about' on field trips this week. Year 12 visited De Jong Dairies, home of Georgia Campbell, to investigate animal behaviour and environmental issues. Bauke and Nadine were wonderful hosts and it was great to catch up with Tyler Greaney and Joel Fogarty, ex students of St Kevin's who are enjoying a career in dairying. 12 VPath also had a trip to the racecourse to develop practical skills in animal handling and water management with Agribusiness Training.
Year 11 were assessed on their practical skills with sheep. They were tutored by Mr Caldwell and Mr McCatmney. Mr Stuart was kind enough to allow us to use the racecourse sheep yards and Mr Muir loaned us his sheep.
We are very grateful to the St Kevin's Family in the wider community for giving up their time and expertise to provide enriching experiences for our students. Thank you!
