Agriculture
Concordia is proud to offer Agricultural Practices as a subject, enriching their education with hands-on experiences in agriculture. As a comprehensive Kindy-12 college, our younger students are also actively engaged in activities with the Agricultural Department, providing them with a robust foundation in the Agricultural field.
Curriculum
Agriculture (food and fibre production) focuses on investigating managed environments, such as farms and plantations. Students learn about the processes of food and fibre production and investigate the sustainable supply of agriculturally produced raw materials. Students develop deep knowledge and understanding about managed systems that produce food and fibre through designing and producing solutions.
This unit of work provides students with the opportunity to investigate the importance of Australian agricultural production to our society and gain a broad understanding of some of our main agricultural industries including beef, sheep, poultry, pork, cropping (wheat) and horticulture.
In Agriculture students will explore the following:
What is Agriculture?
What is the value of Agriculture?
What impacts the perceived value of Agriculture?
What agricultural industries are within our region?
What are key steps in the protein production system?
