PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

Australian Year of the Farmer (AYOF)

Mention of the AYOF has been made in previous Newsletters and on our website. This item is to inform parents about Urrbrae's plans to be involved in celebrations this year.

What is the AYOF?

The Chairman of Rural Skills Australia, Wayne Cornish aptly describes the focus of the year of the farmer "This will be a year for all Australians to unite behind our hardworking farmers and to acknowledge the vital contribution they make to our lives, to the economy and to our way of life. Australia's farmers should be recognised and celebrated for feeding the nation, for leading the world in farming techniques and innovation, and for sustaining the vital agribusinesses that underpin our economy. Farmers are the providers of our nation."
