Recently the St Matthews Agricultural students from Years 9 and 10 headed to Dubbo to participate in the NSW School Merino Wether Challenge - joining 800 students from 76 schools across NSW.

Students have spent the last 6 months feeding and working with six wethers generously supplied by Egelabra Merino Stud Warren. During the 2 day event, students participated in a range of workshops including junior judging, fleece analysis, marketing, wool harvesting, and more, all while networking with industry representatives and other students from around the state.

Our A team of wethers received a second placed ribbon for Highest Restocker Wool Value zone 2.

Well done to the Show Team for representing St Matthews with enthusiasm, skill and maturity.

All students were fantastic ambassadors for the school.
