Indoor exhibits can be brought to school on Wednesday 16th October and must be in by 11:30am. The hall will then be closed for afternoon judging.
Students, I hope you are rearing and training your pets for the big day! It would be great if lots of you could bring chickens, hens (last year’s chickens!), dogs, rabbits, lambs, goats, horses and anything other suitable pets you might have.
A reminder that Calves and Lambs need to be born after 1st August 2024. Check out the website www.calfclub.co.nz for some great tips on rearing, grooming and training your lamb/calf. This will help you to keep track of what you need to do to make sure that your animal is on top form for show day!
Group Day will take place on (date and venue to be confirmed). We like to encourage our students to enter this traditional Marlborough event either with indoor exhibits or outdoor pets. It is open to winners over various sections from Years 1 – 8. Please check the schedule for entries marked with a hash in bold (#)
Please also check future newsletters, the school Facebook page, the school website and Skool Loop phone app for key information regarding Pet Day, which will be added to as we go.
