Rotary club visits college farm

The Rotary Club of Umina Beach recently visited Brisbane Water Secondary College's Umina campus farm.

The Rotarians and their families visited the farm to learn about its day-to-day operations and how it played a part in shaping the College's agriculture studies.

"We spent time with the teachers and students who warmly welcomed us and showed us around," said club president Mr Rouel Vergara.

"With a little help from their teachers, these young men and women organised a program for our club, demonstrating the various activities that they participate in.

"They showed us how they train a calf and gave us an overview of egg farming and sheep shearing.

"One of the things I was impressed about on our field trip was listening to these students and their experiences on the farm.

"For most of them, this is not just a learning environment but also a sanctuary.

"I am really glad that our club supports this organisation to benefit the youth of our community," Mr Vergara said.
