We received our pennant today for all of the wonderful farm safety work that our school has engaged with this term. We have received the first one for Animal Safety and Wellbeing from AgriKids.

Well done to everyone for all of their dedication to farm safety in our school community! Keep up the great work! 👏 🐑 🐄
