Upper Hunter Beef Bonanza Success

Congratulations to St Paul's Agriculture Team who attended the Upper Hunter Beef Bonanza at Scone from 23-26 October. The four day event was attended by 700 students from across the state. Our students were amazing ambassadors for the College with many of them achieving ribbons in the Parader events as well as Cattle Class events. All students were exceptionally hard working, well behaved and dedicated in their preparation and presentation of the College cattle. Thank you to Miss Lisa Frewen, Mr Paul Posterino and Mrs Georgia Lyttle for accompanying the students and to the parents who came to help and support at the event.

Congratulations to St Paul's Year 12 student, Isabelle Preston, who is one of two winners of the Waverley Station Scholarship, awarded at the Upper Hunter Beef Bonanza. Isabelle was shortlisted from 37 applicants after a successful video application, and was one of 13 students who gained an interview for the award. The purpose of the scholarship is to offer experience in the beef industry, with a five day placement at Waverley Station's King Island operation. Her passion, reliability, and a willingness to participate in the Agriculture industry has resulted in this wonderful achievement and will allow her to make connections within the industry.
