Lucindale Area School students have triumphed against some fierce competition around Australia with an innovative 60-second movie winning $3000 for their school in the SADA Fresh – Cows Create Careers program for 2022.
The students participated in the South Australian region of the Cows Create Careers program, which ran in 23 dairying regions around Australia.
The winning team from each region became eligible to submit a final entry for judging in the National Competition.
“The Jersey’s from Lucindale Area School, consisting of Maddi Hann, Emily Hann, Hannah Kiefel and Paige Pinchback, won the Junior Division.
During 2022, over 230 schools were provided with dairy industry curriculum for the Cows Create Careers program at no cost.
Students took an online journey through Willbrae Farm, where they were introduced to two dairy calves, ‘Bright’ and ‘Future’.
Over five weeks, students learned how to care for the calves and watch them grow through engaging videos.
Students also learnt about the environment, technology and machinery used on the farm through quirky activities and competitions.
With all Cows Create Careers resources, the online program prioritised student learning and aligned with the ACARA curriculum.
