We have been given an incredible opportunity to take our Agriculture students to experience a day at the Fairlight Foundation.  Fairlight Station is leading the way in the Ag industry setting up a unique programme tailored to just women.  Year 13 students will be working in the cattle yards for the day. Year 12  students will rotate around four different stations, gaining valuable hands-on experience in a variety of activities. eg: stropping trailers, cracking whips, riding quad bikes through an obstacle course safely and quickly erecting electric fences.  The Fairlight Foundation caters to students who have gained a degree, preferably at Lincoln University and this could be a future for our students. 

 Date/Times: Thursday 14 May Southland Girls High School, Kumagaya Gates at 7.45 am return at 4 pm 

Transport details: Small bus or 3 x mini vans 

Clothing and equipment required: Suitable clothing for being on a farm, handling different animals. Gumboots or sturdy footwear is preferable. 

Costs: $20.00.  Please pay by Friday 1 May 2026.  Please note: Board financial procedure requires payment in full, by the due date for your child to purchase resources, participate in sports or attend trips/events. Payments received will be allocated to the oldest unpaid fees and charges owing on your child’s account first. Extra-curricular activities operate on a “pay before you play” policy.

Venue: Fairlight Foundation, 47 Fairlight Road, Kingston 

 Mel Young has a current first aid qualification and will be carrying a first aid kit at all times. Laura, Simon and the students at the Fairlight Foundation are hugely experienced with working with school groups and are very safety conscious. If for some reason an accident does happen, Mel Young will ring the parent immediately and notify the school. 

 This event contains risks, that are present in the natural environment. This event is supervised by school staff who will manage risk and hazards according to the school’s safety management plan.  This includes but not limited too the careful use of appropriate nonslip footwear, walking carefully in areas that are slippery at each of the four stations, and listening carefully to the instructions of the Fairlight Foundation employees.  While risks can be maintained to acceptable levels they cannot be eliminated.  Some risk is retained for its learning and experiential value.  If you wish to come in to school to see our safety management systems or have any questions, feel free to contact Mel Young on 03 2116030 or [email protected]

It is important for safety reasons that students follow instructions given to them by all staff and follow all appropriate school rules. Behaviour by students that is deemed dangerous and puts themselves and/or others at undue risk will result in your child being picked up by a caregiver and not attending further Year 11, Year 12 and 13 Agriculture trips this year.  

Please pay and complete this form by Friday 1 May 2026.
