Animal Care & Welfare... our responsibility

It's REALLY sad when the news reports attacks on our school farms. We find it difficult to understand WHY? The animals are caged or within fences and are unable to escape! Surely this is not an act that could be portrayed as powerful or brave?

We attempt, on our farm to deter such people through various methods...
It is OUR responsibility to ensure animals within our care, survive and thrive!
So we MUST...
- reduce &/OR eliminate STRESS on our animals
- prevent physical harm
- treat animals with respect
- ensure proper feeding, water and housing

*The school does NOT give warnings to our students... any breach of our policy WILL result in immediate notification to the Principal who WILL contact parents or caregivers and MAY report the incident to police.
