WHAT IS AGRICULTURAL DAY?
Ag Day for those new to Matangi School is a great event to get involved in. Every year we invite students to raise a Calf, Lamb or Kid Goat, look after it, groom and train it ready for bringing to Ag Day. Students learn about caring for their animals, develop patience and determination, use initiative and self-reliance and gain a better understanding of animal welfare.
Rearing your own animal is a very special opportunity, and a very close bond can develop between animal and child. Our children learn valuable life skills through raising an animal and the Ag Day process, such as; caring, nurturing, animal health and welfare, responsibility, leadership, confidence, project presentation (through diaries and performance to the judges), patience and resilience (especially if it’s a wet day!).
- Attached is Calf, Lamb & Kid Goat rearing helpful information for how to prepare your animal for Ag Day
For more information please see the school office.
