Agricultural Day

In October each year we hold our Annual Lichfield School Agricultural Day (Ag day).

For our families who are new to the concept of Ag Day, it is an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate what makes us different from town schools, and that is rural life. On the day itself we will have our traditional Ag Day competitions with experienced judges carefully assessing the lambs, calves and kid goats.

We encourage all children who are able to have a calf, lamb or kid goat, to rear and befriend one. Animals can usually be found for those families who do not live on a farm, often on a 'return' basis. In the past, children from town with an average sized backyard have still managed to raise a goat or a lamb. The day caters for calves, lambs and goats. Children of all ages are able to enter, including pre-school children.

Group Day

Group Day is after Ag Day and is a competition against students from other schools with their animals. It's a great experience for them and makes all their hard work doubly worthwhile.
