Senior secondary students visited Agfest last Thursday to extend their knowledge of recreational activities in Tasmania.  Their task was to find at least 5 different recreational activities and answer a series of questions. Different activities they learnt more about included hunting, restoring old machinery, 4 wheel driving, playing instruments as part of a band, joining Girl Guides, Side by Side 4WD, camping, caravaning, fishing and boating. 

Students enjoyed the range of food on offer including amazing pork boa buns, dipping dots, soft serve ice cream with sherbet and Jodie finally got her long sort after dagwood dog. 

For Jodie, it was her first trip to Agfest and she was surprised by the diversity of the stalls and the range of recreational activities on display. 

The most enjoyable parts for students included; all the walking, exploring, watching the working dogs, the atmosphere, baby cows at the petting zoo and the range of fidgets available for purchase. 

Thanks Jodie for organising and exposing our students to the vast opportunities that are available here in Tasmania.
