Junior School Show Team Make History

Mrs Diana Ivancic - Assistant Head of Junior School

St Gregory’s College Campbelltown has a long history of competing in various aspects of Agriculture. Up until 1990, it was home to cattle, a piggery, a commercial dairy and a rodeo.

For the past 95 years, young men have competed in Cattle and Sheep competitions and programs; including the Royal Easter Show, Camden Show and

Dubbo Show.

In 2021, the students made history as the first Girl and Boy Junior School Team in the school’s 95-year history. The College’s very first Junior School team of students, participated in Moss Vale and Hawkesbury shows.

With the opening of a co-educational Junior School in 2018, these eleven-year-olds are the first Junior School students to have joined the St Gregory’s College Show Team. They have been training each week with Miss Hayley Mahoney,

Agricultural Leader of Learning.

The students have learned to handle the cattle, groom them and parade them independently. An amazing opportunity for these young girls and boys. It has also been a great opportunity for the senior boys to mentor and support the students during the preparation and showing.

Judging by its success, this promises to continue to become stronger every year!
