Unity College visits to conduct field work on the farm

On Friday 3^rd March, a Year 9 Geography class from Unity College in Caloundra made the 1 ½ hour journey to South Brisbane in order to conduct field work on our farm.  The day began with a health and safety talk, introducing the two ‘arms’ of the project (the management/administration side, and the practical farming side), followed by an explanation of the science behind some of the growing methods.  Students and their teachers were taken on a guided tour of the farm where they collected primary data to be included in their assessment task.  Their task is to write a report evaluating the feasibility of creating a similar farm at Unity College, and to make justified recommendations for any future proposals.  After a final question and answer session was held in the air-conditioned comfort of the library, we fare-welled our guests who were most complimentary about the educational service we were able to provide them.
