Prep students from four local schools gathered at the Kingaroy State High School’s farm area on Wednesday to learn more about rural life.<\/p>\n

Students from Kingaroy State High School\u2019s ag program hosted preppies from Kingaroy, Taabinga and Coolabunia State Schools and St Mary’s Catholic College.<\/p>\n

The visitors learned about tractors, hay, chickens, bee hives, cattle and horses as well as watching a demonstration of spinning by the Booie Spinners and Weavers.<\/p>\n

Representatives from Landcare spoke to the youngsters about the importance of caring for country, while a display by the RSPCA emphasised animal welfare.<\/p>\n

The students also enjoyed hands-on encounters with chickens, lambs, piglets, alpacas and more.<\/p>\n

KSHS ag assistant Steve Carige and high school students guided the prep students through the displays and were on hand to answer any questions.<\/p>\n

The day not only introduces the youngsters to farm life, it helps them to get a better understanding of where there food comes from.<\/p>\n
