National Agriculture Day 2024
In celebration of National Agriculture Day, we proudly recognise the monumental achievements in Westminster School's Agriculture Program this year.
Our Agriculture Program has reached new heights this year, showcasing our commitment to excellence in the sector. Our greatest endeavours include:
Thomas Foods International Centre for Agriculture:
The opening of this state-of-the-art facility provides a hub for agricultural learning, advancing our students' knowledge and experiences in a world-class environment.
Award-Winning Produce:
Westminster was honored with Best School Wine nationally and Best School Olive Oil at the state level. These achievements are even more significant in South Australia, which produces around 80% of the nation’s premium wines.
Enhanced Curriculum:
This year, our students have engaged with cutting-edge technology, from AI applications and reproductive tech to aquaculture practices in our new RAS facility. As an established Border Leicester stud, we offer unique opportunities for students to gain real-world skills in breeding and livestock management.
Show Team Success:
Record engagement with our Show Team this year has allowed students to demonstrate their dedication, resulting in numerous accolades and fostering a strong sense of community pride.
These achievements align with Australia’s national agricultural goals, contributing to the vision of a $100 billion farm gate output by 2030. We are proud to honor the rural families connected to Westminster and celebrate the vibrant, innovative, and life-sustaining world of agriculture.
