Animal Production Systems (Year 11 & Year 12)
This SCSA subject introduces the students to the concept of raising animals as a production system. The environment in which an animal is produced is examined in detail; feeding, stresses due to climate, as well as diseases and social behaviour of animals is investigated in this subject. The importance of bloodlines and genetics is also treated within this context. In this project based course, markets are examined as well as the things needed to produce animals for sale and animal products.
Plant Production Systems (Year 11 & Year 12)
These Curriculum Council subjects cover both practical and theoretical aspects of crop and pasture production. Understanding of how plants grow in order to maximise production, is the key aim of this course. Environmental factors such as soil, weather and nutrition, as well as types of crops, are covered. Operations which require sowing, maintenance and harvesting crops are given special consideration. Although the emphasis is on broad acre cropping, students have the opportunity within the project work to investigate particular crops of interest.
