Primary School Program
Give your students an unforgettable learning experience with our hands-on primary school program that takes them on a journey from paddock to plate! They’ll get a unique, behind-the-scenes look into our thriving commercial apple orchard, discovering how apples are grown, harvested, and delivered from the farm to the supermarket.
This program not only sparks curiosity but also provides valuable, curriculum-linked knowledge. With engaging pre- and post-excursion teaching resources tailored to specific year levels, plus a comprehensive excursion day workbook, students will gain a deeper understanding of where their food comes from—all while connecting classroom learning to real-world agriculture.
And the best part? It will be the easiest excursion you’ll ever have to organize! We provide all necessary working with children checks, risk assessments, and the resources you need, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. It’s an exciting and educational experience, with everything you need to make it happen seamlessly! Grab an info pack here!
