Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
150 years<br />
A long association with<br />
country life continues today<br />
with many students involved in<br />
the agriculture club. Originally<br />
called the calf club it was noted<br />
the rivalry between herds of the<br />
district for the premier award led<br />
to fierce competition and it was<br />
questioned how much the young<br />
owners had in the selection, feeding<br />
and grooming of their calves.<br />
Today the school has a roll of<br />
237, made up of 10 classes which<br />
include collaborative learning<br />
spaces, integrated technology,<br />
well-resourced library, a community<br />
garden and a large outdoor<br />
learning centre. The focus of the<br />
school is still very much connected<br />
to the community and<br />
local families.<br />
To celebrate its jubilee, the<br />
school is having a weekend full<br />
of events on October 19 to 21.<br />
Former pupils, teachers, board of<br />
trustees, community members<br />
and current school families are<br />
welcome to attend.<br />
