FarmLink/St Anne's Ag Elective Program

Fostering Farming into the Future

FarmLink/St Anne’s Ag Elective Program operated as a collaboration between FarmLink and the Catholic Central School located in Temora. 

Under the program, Year 9 and 10 students who selected the Agriculture elective visited Temora Agricultural Innovation Centre regularly for hands-on training in a variety of topics relating to mixed farming enterprises. 

The 2013-2015 program saw students exposed to the areas of soils, farm safety, livestock and cropping. The students also set up a field trial which was showcased at the FarmLink Open Day on September 11, 2015. It is hoped the program could be introduced to additional schools across the FarmLink region
