Northern Schools Steer Show

After months of preparing steers for a possible show, it finally arrived last week with the Northern Schools Steer Show in Glen Innes last week! With limitations still in place it was the lucky Yr 9 and 10 Ag students who were selected to show four steers prepared at the Calrossy Farm, Tangara Trade Training Centre.

Calrossy enjoyed some great success over the two days including;

• 1st (Hannah Thurn) 2nd (Caitlin Scanlon) 3rd (Emily Taylor) and 5th (Adelaide Eade) in the Year 10 -12 paraders competion out of 60  competitors.
• Zoe Rudder was 1st in the Year 8 - 9 paraders division with Eva Nelson 2nd and Georgia Bailey 4th.
• Champion Parader – Zoe Rudder Year 9.
• Reserve Champion Parader – Hannah Thurn Year 10.
• Adelaide Eade went onto become Reserve Champion Junior Judge of the Show.

The four steers paraded by Calrossy were also successful receiving Reserve Middleweight Champion and several second places. 

Commerce Guest Speakers

During week 6 of Term 4 Mrs Draper’s Commerce class invited some local business people in to share their experiences of work, the impact of COVID on their business and the training path that led them to their current job. The class heard from Mick McCulloch owner of Glen Artney Truck Repairs, Karly Brogan from Regional Industry Education Partnerships and Bree Poestschka from Tamworth Property Co. Their first hand accounts of business during this difficult year provide invaluable insight and depth to classroom learning.
