The purpose of the excursion was for students to collect information relevant to their TAP projects in both Maths and Science. Students were directed with specific tasks to undertake to help them discover how Maths and Science are an integral part of the Sheep Industry. Once again Pope’s Buslines donated a bus and driver in support of the TAP program and we would like to thank David Pope for his generosity. Despite travelling up to Hamilton in driving rain, we were extremely fortunate to have good weather while we were walking around the showgrounds visiting the exhibits. All returned safe and sound after a very successful day and as always our students were good ambassadors for our school. Thank you to parents for supporting our excursion.
On Monday, as part of their core Maths and Science studies the Year 7 students travelled to Hamilton to visit Sheepvention. Sheepvention is one of the largest and most successful sheep field days in Australia with events featuring ram sales, working dog competitions, inventions, sheep shearing demonstrations, competitions, wool fashion design awards/expos and sheep/ram exhibits. These were supported by trade stands and displays by agribusinesses including banks, rural merchandise stores, studs etc and other sites related to livestock production.
