Velisha Farm Visit

Velisha National Farms, Werribee South

This month, several of our Year 10 students, including those studying Food Technology, were given an exciting introduction to the world of agriculture through our Farm Gate program. 

This initiative provided a unique opportunity to explore the farming industry up close through engaging activities and real-life experiences at Velisha Farms.

Students discovered firsthand the journey of fresh produce from paddock to plate through an interactive farm tour, product tastings, and hands-on exploration of various horticultural projects. These experiences highlighted the diversity of the industry and the wide range of opportunities available within horticulture.

Not only was it a memorable chance to immerse themselves in farm culture, but it also offered continual opportunities for students to expand their individual knowledge. 

Such experiences are invaluable in developing the higher-level learning and problem-solving skills essential for their academic growth and future careers.
