Selected students will have the exciting opportunity to take part in the AgriKidsNZ Regional Event in Gore, a free competition where teams of three complete hands‑on farming and problem‑solving challenges. No prior experience is needed—this event is designed to be both fun and educational, helping students build teamwork, confidence, and practical skills. With modules ranging from agricultural tasks to surprise final‑round challenges, students gain valuable exposure to rural life and the wider Young Farmers community.
