2. Throughout the Archibull Prize process we have
learnt that sustainable farming is about meeting the
needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their needs.
If natural resources such as soil, nutrients and
water are used up at a rate faster than they are
replenished, then the farming system is
unsustainable. Sustainability is also dependent on
maintaining a high level of biodiversity.
3. What is the objective of all this?
The objective is to show the importance of
a sustainable food chain and inspire the
community to take responsibility for their
footprint in relation to farming and food
production in general.
4. First things first...
We attended the
Prize Launch,
gathered our
information and
met our Dairy
Farmer
representative
Stephanie
5. Our school was really lucky to have Stephanie visit us and give
us a presentation about her life as a dairy farmer. She also
gave us detailed facts about how she has reached many various
goals and shared some of her personal life with us too.

7. We had a naming
competition for one
of Steph’s new baby
calves…her name
became Bega…as
this is the factory
where her milk
products may end up
one day
8. Firstly, we had a competition for the design that would be painted onto
our Archibull dairy calf. So our teachers had given us a sheet with
one side of the cow printed on it, we then had to take it home and
draw a design of the country to city theme. we brought them back to
school and the teachers judged them.
For the naming of Milky Way, we were given a small piece of paper and
we had to write 3 possible names or less on the paper. This was then
judged by students and then the teachers....Milky Way it was!

strawberries.
