At Forbes High farm, during Stage 4 sport, Show Team students participate in a variety of activities. They care for our beloved animals and maintain the equipment.

Additionally, they meticulously collect and package eggs from the chicken coops for sale at Sheldricks Fine Foods, deepening their understanding of the farming business.

This practical experience cultivates teamwork, responsibility, and essential life skills, all while allowing them to appreciate the great outdoors.
