Partners in Ag is proud to be joining forces with the Wimmera Machinery Field Days to launch a new resource kit for schools to assist in their excursions to one of country Australia’s largest agricultural and agribusiness trade shows. The Ag Ed Quest provides a fun, educational and engaging pack of information for schools to ensure students and teachers make the most of their time at the 2020 Wimmera Machinery Fields Days (Tuesday 3 – Thursday 5 March 2020).

With increasing pressure on teachers to ensure excursions are meaningful and education-based, Partners in Ag has developed the Ag Ed Quest to reduce the workload by generating the day’s program, aligning with curriculum outcomes. The Wimmera Machinery Fields Days is a great opportunity for local schools to build awareness of the agricultural environment, industry, and careers that exist in our communities.

The development of the Ag Ed Quest for students would see a targeted and engaging approach to interactions between the students and exhibitors, with students learning about everything agriculture and giving exhibitors the opportunity to showcase their products and services to the next generation. It will be designed so that students engage with exhibitors in a consistent manner rather than ad hoc approaches.

The fact-finding quest would finish at the new Pavilion with a presentation promoting the wide range of ag-related careers in the Wimmera. This provides an opportunity for students to gain a greater understanding of the broad employment opportunities within the region as well as a safe and central meeting place to conclude the excursion. By promoting a packaged resource to your school, the Wimmera Machinery Field Days Committee aims to build a relationship with you and your students and assist in coordinating the excursion from the very start. The 2020 Wimmera Machinery Field Days is FREE for primary students and their teachers to attend, and only $5 for secondary students and teachers. Pre-purchasing tickets through Partners in Ag will ensure Priority Entry on the day!
