Throughout Term 1, our Upper Primary students have been engaging in a Science unit called ‘Living off the Land’. They have been investigating how and why food and fibre are produced in managed environments, using sustainable methods.

Last week the students went on an excursion to Narmbool, a working farm that uses sustainable practices. The students participated in soil and water testing, in which they learnt about the ideal conditions for plants to grow. Students walked around the homestead gardens and got to visit the shearing shed where they saw some sheep shearing in live action!
