🛠️ Fencing projects underway

Some of our Ag Science and Agribusiness students had an incredible opportunity today to visit an active logging operation, assess stream health, and measure Redwoods.

A huge thank you to for organising this, and supporting our students with this experience.

These chicks joined us on the 1st day of Term 2. They are now all grown and living their best life in our orchard.

Massive thank you to for supporting our Year 13 Agribusiness classes, who are looking at value-added products, with some delicious treats.

The Year 10 Agriculture/Horticulture Classes have been busy this term.

An exciting time for the ASB MAGS Farm

Congratulations to Year 13 students, Maddy Cameron and Isla Stephenson who are now heading down to Invercargill for the National FMG Junior Young Farmer Competition in July after placing second at the regionals this weekend.

The Year 13 Agriculture classes had Paul Kenyon from Massey University speak to them about the opportunities in the primary sector, and role that they will play as young people entering the sector.

Massive effort from Sophie and Hanna at the FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year held in Hamilton.

14 teams from 7 regions gathered to compete for the title.

They were put through their paces with an exam, speech, farmlet and modules. The top 5 teams then went into a head-to-head face last night under the bright stage lights.

We are so incredibly proud!


Northern Region Young Farmers

A massive thank you to for coming in last week to shear the sheep. The students were fortunate to have you share your journey and knowledge.

Some even jumped at the opportunity to have a go with the handpiece.
