RYAG Sheep is an excellent opportunity for students interested in exploring either or both the wool and meat aspects of the sheep industry through informative and hands–on activities presented by experienced and expert people actively engaged in the sheep industry in the Walcha area.

Participating students will enjoy the opportunity to gain strong insights into the sheep industry as a potential career path.

RYAG Sheep 2025 is open to students who will be enrolled in Years 9, 10 and 11 in the academic year 2025. The maximum number of places is 30; therefore we have to limit each participating school to two nominations only. Any additional interested students may be added to a waiting list and if further places become available they will be allocated in accordance with the merits of their applications.

In 2025, the camp will be based at the historic Europambela Station near Walcha, and will run from the afternoon of Tuesday 4th March to morning of Saturday 8th March 2025. Accommodation will in the revamped shearers’ quarters. Students must bring their own bedding/sleeping bag and pillow. At all times appropriate supervision will be exercised to ensure the wellbeing of all participants.

The RYAG Sheep has consistently proved to be an enjoyable and rich learning experience from which students gain a wealth of knowledge about the sheep industry. Participation can be the game changer for future career paths with the added bonus of making lasting friendships with likeminded people.

All participants are required to be endorsed by their local Rotary Club who may be willing to part sponsor the fees.
