Shearing Taster day
Not everyone’s cut out for the nine to five, and for many of your students life on a farm might as well be another planet, but it doesn’t have to be. This shearer tasting day provides an introduction to sheep shearing, and a career many of your students may not have contemplated before. Led by experienced Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) Instructors, this course is a hands-on, practical day that takes you through every step in the wool harvesting process.
Bale Twine Repurposing – National Ag Day
The Australian Agricultural Centre has launched the National Ag Day Bale Twine Repurposing Challenge, encouraging schools, families, farmers, community groups and makers to collect used bale twine and give it a new purpose instead of leaving it in paddocks or sending it to landfill.
