Sheep Week has been delivered for the past three years, engaging primary school students in hands-on learning that connects agriculture from farm to fabric. The program is designed to build understanding of wool production, animal care and the journey of natural fibres in a fun, age-appropriate way.

In 2026, Sheep Week will expand to provide students with immersive activities that explore every stage of the process. Students will participate in simulated sheep shearing using a corflute sheep and shaving cream, learn about different wool types, and take part in carding, spinning and weaving activities. The program also introduces animal health concepts through practical demonstrations, including faecal egg counts and discussions around sheep wellbeing.

Each student will receive a Sheep Week passport, collecting stamps as they complete each activity, encouraging engagement, curiosity and learning through experience. The program supports early agricultural literacy while inspiring young people to value farming, fibre production and animal welfare.

Morning tea and lunch included.
