By Charlotte Jordan and Abigail Wicaksono, Yr 10 Agriculture:
As a real-world project-based learning task, Year 10 Carinya Agriculture students are planning, organising and running the Angus barbecue site at AgQuip.
The agriculture students have been working together to design and create the best steak sandwiches at AgQuip.
Other Year 10 students will join them at the stall, working together as a team to produce 3500 steak sandwiches over three days.
AgQuip has many different kinds of stalls, but having agriculture students project manage the Angus stall together is both fun and rewarding.
“Measuring the ingredients, contacting suppliers, calculating prices and cost of production, and even finding the right words for the advertising, it is truly a great learning experience for all of us,” one Year 10 student said.
“This project has taught all of us just how much effort goes into running and organising a business.”
Students will develop management, financial and communication skills they can use in the workplace for a long time to come.
It will be a memorable experience for them, spending three days working together as well as the prior planning efforts of making the Angus stall happen, and making the best steak sandwiches.
