Schools Property Planning Competition
High school agriculture students from across the Northern Tablelands are participating in the 2021 Schools Property Planning Competition. This year's Competition Field Day is at Elm Park, near Armidale.
The Schools Property Planning Competition assists teachers in the delivery of property planning and sustainable farm management practices and principles to their agricultural students. Participating either individually or in small groups, students are given the scenario that they are consultants contracted by the landholder to prepare a property plan to ensure profitability and sustainability of the farm business.
The learning outcomes link to the Agriculture Stage 6 Subject 'Farm Case Study' and the competition is targeted at students in year 11. Participation in the competition is free.
