Recently, Year 12 Food Technology students had the wonderful opportunity of visiting a working dairy farm.
Gavin from Gavana Holsteins Dairy, Glenmore kindly welcomed us to his farm. The Australian Food Industry is the first unit studied as part of the HSC Food Technology course. Visiting Gavana Holsteins gave students an insight into the content they have learned about this year. Students were able to see mechanisation in action and how the dairy industry has evolved with the introduction of new technology. They heard about quality control measures and gained an understanding of how legislation and environmental concerns have impacted farming in Australia. This experience will be invaluable as the students prepare for their upcoming HSC examination which takes place on November 4. It has been a privilege teaching this class over the years. I wish them all the best for their HSC exams.
