There are two animal sections that you can enter an animal into.
|
Section A is for Agricultural Animals - lambs, calves and/or kids that your child has raised from birth; they are judged on the day and your child is asked questions about how they have cared for and raised their animal.
|
A comprehensive project must be submitted to the school office/classroom teacher by Monday, October 21st, to be marked before Ag Day.
|
Children participating in this category earn Agriculture Club badges and awards, which are presented at the end of the year prize-giving.
|
The sections to be included in the written project are: |
Section B is for animals in the pet section of Ag Day. We are really keen to see more farm-based animals this year, but we do allow pets of all kinds. Animals include lambs, sheep, goats, kids, horses, ponies, pigs, calves, goldfish, poultry, birds, rabbits, cats, and dogs (must be Council registered, vaccinated, and able to cope in a stressful environment); pet rocks are welcome too :) Animal Novelty Events | We have a range of animal novelty events on offer that you can enter.
|
Pets fancy dress competition – Theme - Halloween - Dress yourself and your animal up with a fun Halloween-themed costume. |
Pet novelty transport - Theme - Halloween - Can you design an innovative way to transport your pet around the main arena? This is an excellent option for our smaller pets/animals. |
Lamb/goat drinking demonstration - 250mls of milk and teat will be checked before the event. |
Calf leading and handling |
Dog leading, handling and obstacle course challenge - a fun obstacle course will be created to test your dog's obedience, confidence and teamwork. |
Crafts, Baking and Plant Entries | One of the absolute highlights of Agricultural Day is seeing the school hall filled with Enterprising crafts and baking. We strongly encourage all children to enter at least one of these. This year, we will be judging each section per year level, and your child will receive a certificate and possibly a ribbon if they place first, second, or third.

Baking - please cover these with clear wrap or in a clear container. |
| Plant EntryYou child does have the option to enter a plant that they have grown and cared for. This will be judged so some written information about the plant, and how they have cared for it would be helpful to the judges. | You are now ready to enter... | This year, we are collating the entries slightly differently, so you will need to complete two forms. They are quick and easy, so it will not take long.
|
The links are below. Please ensure you complete the correct forms.

Enter one of these for each child if they are bringing an animal: |
It is strongly encouraged that all children enter at least one craft/baking entry. |
