Cattle Team
Calrossy has attended Inverell show followed the next weekend by Armidale show. Inverell saw 20 Calrossy students attend, and they were very successful at the first show of the year. Being awarded Champion School. The Cattle Team attended the Armidale show due to the show running the zone parader section which students can qualify to go in the parader class at the Sydney Royal Easter show section. Four students made it through and we already had three qualified so seven students will represent the school at Sydney show in the parader section.
