Students Impress at the Annual Copper Coast Show

A group of Year 11 Agriculture students (and 10 merino sheep) recently travelled to the Copper Triangle to compete against local schools from Yorke Peninsula at the annual Copper Coast Show. The first time the College has competed in this competition.

The students participated in Handlers' Class, where they were assessed on their ability to handle and show sheep. They also took part in a Junior Judging Competition, where they were evaluated on their ability to judge sheep.

In the Handlers' Class, seven of our students made it to the final heat out of approximately 40 competitors and three students reached the top five. Sam Rough placed fifth, Ethan Hite placed fourth and Lachlan Oldfield placed third, receiving a ribbon.

In the Junior Judging Competition, four of our students made the top six. Unfortunately, we missed out on ribbons, achieving fourth, fifth and sixth place. These students were Eve Stoakes, Eliza Roeger and Courtney Jacka. Despite this, if it came down to numbers, we were still successful.

Evelyn Scheffers, Sian Sumner, Jake Adkins and Sienna Halling were also involved and did a tremendous job handling and judging. Fred James (Year 12) and Luca Manno (Year 9) also assisted throughout the day and competed in the Cattle Junior Judging Competition.

Well done to all participants for their outstanding efforts and for representing the College so superbly.
