Primary students visit college farm
Twenty students from each of the primary schools in the Brisbane Water Learning Community participated in a day of activities at the Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus farm on Tuesday, August 27.
Students learnt about handling chickens and day-old piglets, how to round up sheep and feed goats and cattle.
"Students enjoyed a tractor ride around the farm to see all the animals, eat produce from our fruit trees, and laugh at the animal antics," said Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus Teaching and Learning head teacher Ms Sheree Gilchrist.
"Students got to hold Frog, our resident python snake, and the baby animals that are filling our paddocks this time of year.
"Students had a fantastic day meeting new friends and learning about animal care.
"Many students can't wait to do KWAC (Kids Who are Animal Carers) when they come to high school at Brisbane Water Secondary College in 2015.
"Students planted a seedling, and left with big smiles and a certificate for participation," said Ms Gilchrist.
