Although learning is not what you would expect kids to want to do in their school holidays, everyone was excited for the day of educational competition at the Trangie Agricultural Research Centre on Monday.
The aim of the judging is to not only help the kids develop skills in various agricultural sectors, but also build confidence and public speaking abilities.
