Merino Wether Competition
On the 8th and 9th of September Renmark High School Agricultural students participated in the School Merino Wether competition held at the Adelaide Show Grounds. The Merino Wether competition is a feature event held every year in line with the Royal Adelaide Show, however due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the actual show was cancelled. This competition involved showing the best of three Merino Wethers representing each of the participating schools in a “Pen of three”. This year 37 different SA schools participated with 70 teams equalling 210 sheep. It was also the 10 year anniversary of this competition, in which Renmark High school has competed for the second year in a row.
Overall six Renmark High agricultural students had the opportunity to show our sheep at the competition; Hannah Brauer, Phoebe Holmes, Tom Berends ( all Year 9) and Deniz Durmus, Lara Brauer, Mitchell Kroemer (all Year 11). I am very proud of the students involved as they diligently worked throughout a very long day which started at 5.30 and ended at 9.30 pm. Participating students represented our school superbly and achieved a very high score for their knowledge and general etiquette in showing sheep to the judges.
