Perth Royal Show
Our students dominated Junior Parading at the Perth Royal Show, placing in almost every division. Zoe Skinner, was named Champion Parader- an outstanding result! Congratulations to our students and staff, particularly Mr Marshall and Mr Seib, who prepared our students and cattle so very well. Thank you to Mrs Sally Panizza, the Director of Agriculture, who joined our Principal Mrs Kirkwood, in celebrating their success.
The second day of the Perth Royal Show was a big day for our students. The day began with Steer Judging with the College having several steers qualify in this competitive section. In the Extra Heavy Weight division, we secured Reserve Champion Steer, led by Year 12 student Hayley Keam, which was a great result in that class. The afternoon saw us compete in the state finals for Parading where we had several students involved. Our students did extremely well in this tough class among the high standard of competition. Later that afternoon, we competed in state judging finals where six students competed. Year 12 student, Zoe Skinner made the final and was placed third. Congratulations! All in all a strong day’s competition was had before moving on to sell our steers and hoping for good prices.
