Ag Day

Ōtewā School Agricultural Day

Wednesday 23rd October 2024

Online animal registration forms will be available in Term 3

(extra copies are available from the school office)

Our Agricultural Day is on the 23rd of October. This is a normal school day, so students without animals will need to be at school at 8:50.

● Morning Set up - We will need helpers on the morning to set up the judging areas and move equipment from the school down to the field etc.   A couple of utes would be helpful.

● Parking - Please park cars and trailers along the tree line behind the school pool.  If you are visiting without an animal, please park by the Otewa Hall and walk back to the school field.  Please DO NOT park at the bridge – we need to keep this space clear all day.

● Registration - Please report to the registration table – by the BBQ, at the beginning of the day to receive your registration number tag.  This tag needs to be worn all day and returned at the end of the day. Certificates will be given to all students who return their number tag. 

Registration on the day - 10 am

Competition starts 10:30

● Food - RaboBank will be cooking at the BBQ throughout the day.   Burgers, sausages and snack food will be available for families with animals.

● Judging Pens - Please ensure that when the judges are in the pens with animals you stay away from them.  The animals and students need to be left to put on their best performance, with as little distraction as possible.

● Weather – The day will go ahead rain, hail or shine.  Please come prepared with shelter if necessary.

● Group Day -  See Lana Smith if you have any questions.

We have several farmers who are able to loan or sell lambs to interested families. 

Please contact the school office for more information.
