Maitland Area School

Royal Show time is fast approaching and our Year 9 and Year 10 Agricultural Studies classes are busily preparing our goats and steers.
Last week our Year 9 class introduced the five led wether goats to our Junior School classes. The younger students loved the activity and it is obvious we have many budding Ag students in the Junior School!
On Monday August 23, David Davies spent the afternoon with our Ag Certificate students demonstrating the correct technique for clipping steers and preparing our Red Poll “Beau” for the Show. We are very grateful for David’s continued support of our Ag program.

On Wednesday 26th August the Friends of the CYP Library hosted an afternoon for the Reception - Year 2 students and their grandparents. It was a wonderful time of sharing life stories and books together. A book fair added to the atmosphere, allowing for purchasing of excellent books at very reasonable prices. The afternoon was part of week long celebrations for BOOK WEEK 2010.

After a tiring flight from Japan, the JEP 2010 staff and students landed safely at Adelaide airport and were whisked off for a day of rest and relaxation at Glenelg and Hahndorf.

After a good night's rest they visited Cleland National Park and spent time with the Australian fauna and flora before leaving for Maitland.
