Congratulations to Charlize, Ella and Jonty who won the online competition.Way to shine team!

On Wednesday nine Oxford Area School students participated in an online quiz of farming knowledge that determined who the finalists would be. The competition consisted of  3 rounds of questions with each competitor sitting this test online, at the same time, from their homes. Their scores were collated and combined for each team. 

We had three Oxford teams score high enough to earn a spot in Friday's final. Congratulations to Will Glassford, William Shore, Connor Slemint and Elizabeth Cooper, Taylor Rutherford and Sonja Slemint. The Oxford Future Farmers took it out by scoring the highest individual and team combined scores. They will go on to compete in the national finals.

What a fantastic result and we wish Charlize, Ella and Jonty the best of luck for the National Finals which are to be held in Christchurch in July.
