🐮THE CAMDEN SHOW🎡 Our Penola Agriculture Team enjoyed a highly successful excursion to The Camden Agricultural Show. For many of our students, this marked their first experience with showcasing and handling animals, and they exceeded expectations with their performance. Our Aussie Whites claimed top positions in their respective classes, with an impressive 2nd place in the Interbreed Pair of Ewes competition. Additionally, Scarlet C (Year 11) and Chloe R (Year 12) secured placements within the top 3 of their age group for Parading, where students are evaluated based on their presentation skills rather than the animals themselves. On Saturday, our Heifer, partnered with EMJAY Park, secured a 2nd place in her class and was awarded Reserve Champion for Best School Animal. Elyssa G (Year 11) expertly paraded the heifer to victory. In addition to our students' achievements, we extend our congratulations to our dedicated Show Team Mentors, Chloe R (Year 12), Scarlet C (Year 11), and Marshal P (Year 12), who provided exceptional coaching and support to the junior show team members. Special recognition goes to Beau O (Year 9) for his expertise in grooming our bovine chickens, and to Josephine C (Year 9), Ellie J (Year 9), Jett M (Year 10), Will S (Year 9), and Willow S (Year 10) for demonstrating exemplary showmanship and responsibility both inside and outside the ring. Noteworthy mentions also include Abby H (Year 8) and Sophie M (Year 8), who courageously led a nearly 400 kg heifer around the ring, earning the admiration of senior members of the show team. Our display, led by STEM teacher Mrs. Paul, captivated primary school students and garnered praise from members of the Camden Show Society. We express our heartfelt gratitude to our TAS teachers Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Elston, Mr. Potts, and Mrs. Paul, whose guidance was instrumental in our success. Special thanks also to Mrs. Annear for her assistance in preparing display materials, Mr. Sakey for his invaluable support in the ag plot, and all staff members who took the time to engage with our students during the event.
