Year 1 students recently had an exciting excursion to the Calmsley Hill City Farm. As part of the excursion, students learned about everything from how milk is processed to the importance of our farmers
Calmsley Hill City Farm is a farm-based attraction, close to the heart of Sydney, where children can enjoy a variety of exciting shows and exhibits.
There were many highlights including endless encounters with cute farm animals, as well as exploring what’s involved in life as a farmer. The students also learned about the importance of environmental sustainability for ensuring that our animals are healthy.
The excursion demonstrated the great talent of farmers through their entertaining and insightful farm shows. Students were filled with excitement watching the farm dog show rounding up hundreds of sheep, all by itself!
Once the guided tour is complete students will have time to relax and enjoy their lunch before spending the early afternoon watching our farming demonstrations which include our Stockwhip shop, as well as our Working Dog and Shearing demonstration.
At the end of the day, all of the students left with happy faces and a whole lot of knowledge about what it's like to be a farmer as well as the impact that farmers have on our lives.

📢 Important Update: SOCIAL MEDIA BAN for Under-16s Starting December 10, new rules will come into effect that prohibit under-16s from creating or keeping accounts on age-restricted social media platforms. 🔒 Why this change? Research shows that being logged into social media accounts can increase exposure to pressures and risks, such as upsetting or manipulative content, due to how platforms are designed. These changes aim to give young people more time to build digital literacy, impulse control, critical thinking and resilience before entering these online spaces. 🧠 While many platforms currently set 13 as the minimum age, this shift to 16 is about providing more time for healthy development in a digital world. 👨👩👧👦 With just over two months to go, now is a great time to start conversations at home. Talk with your child about what this change means, how they feel about it and how you can support them.
