Yea well at Gundagai High we had 6 people in our Agriculture class but now itz just two people. It isn't too bad because we learn everything really quick and we are going to have loads of time to revise. I think that the Senior Agriculture book by A Clark is a really good book and our teacher sometimes uses it to teach us. It gets a bit boring sumtimes but then we just end up discussing the topic or maybe the weekend!!

At Hurlstone, theres about 80 poeple who do ag in year 12. None of the students milk the cows at 6am, only farm hands do that job. Agriculture is compulsory at Hurlstone for years 7-10, and optional for year 11 and 12. However if a student entered school at year 11, it is mandatory to do agriculture.

huh?

where did you get that from?

 

[ben7]

Study guide for Ag would be great!

 

[yumxor]

lol, my teacher now was her teacher back then and she gave us a copy along with the story of how it was written

 

[ben7]

how long is the study guide?

 

[ballerinabarbie]

that's the only thing about ag - coz its not a very popular subject (in comparison to something like chemistry or biology) there aren't that many resources avaliable to ag students...

my best advice for doing well in ag is to know the 'verbs' really really well (i know you have already all been told this probably a million times... but it's true) - and if u can, to have specific examples of what you are writing about, just make yourself look like you know heaps (even if you don't)

eg. if you are talking about new forms of technology - have an example (we did an assesment on this, so it was pretty easy)

and also know about the kind of agriculture practised in your area, it makes it easy to refer to

Nagle College, Blacktown.

we've got a small farm running - but damn, at 6am there aren't people up there let alone doing work! the Year 12 class for this year only has 7, less than for the year below.. aaand, apparently there's talk of getting the 'brother' school involved to expand.

Henry Kendal and Gosford High share an Ag 'farm'. Both generally only have small senoir classes though.
Ag is compulsory for yrs 7 & 8 at Gosford

We have the biggest public schools ag farm in the state
Its around 80 acres and they spend around $400,000 doing it up a couple of years ago. We run about 25 head of cattle, 70 sheep, 100+ chickens and 1 goat

 

[Borbor]

Ruse definitely does not milk cows at 6 am :rofl:, whoever told you that is obviously living in a nutshell.

For starters we dont even have dairy cattle, pure Angus beef . The environment is not suitable for dairy cattle eg. too hot in a suburban area and dairy cattle are much harder to look after than beef cows. (udder infections and such).

The Rural Youth has nothing to do with the cows anymore, it's a seperate club that looks after the macadamias, orange orchard and various other odd jobs.

Finally, even the cattle group members don't arrive that early, much rather be.
