Mr Edward Stefanski - Science and Agriculture Teacher
On Wednesday 22 June, fifteen of our keen Agriculture students were privileged to participate in the Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) ‘Welcome to Wool Harvesting’ program delivered by professional Shearer Joshua Clayton and Wool Handler and Classer, Kellie Armour.
The students learned about many aspects of ‘shed work’, from; sitting sheep, to crutching, shearing, fleece throwing, wool classing, maintenance of equipment and wool processing. Jack Finch, College Old Boy and Wool Technical Officer and Auctioneer from ‘Shute Bell Badgery Lumby’, also joined the program to class our fleeces and to discuss the wool industry with the students. The students and staff wish to thank Joshua, Kellie and Jack for sharing their expertise and for delivering such an amazing day!
