The department has been connecting with regional and rural communities, showcasing public education at agricultural field days across NSW this year. Led by the Regional, Rural and Remote Education Policy Unit, the team closed out the year with a stand at Primex in Casino in November. This followed on from exhibitions at AgQuip in Gunnedah, Henty Machinery Field Days and the Australian National Field Days near Orange earlier in the year.

The field days have provided an opportunity to gain valuable feedback from regional and rural communities to help guide future direction for our schools. They are also an opportunity to celebrate the great work taking place in local schools and promote opportunities across the department. But the buck doesn’t stop there - planning is already underway for 2023, kicking off with the Sydney Royal Easter Show in April.

To learn more about upcoming field days or get involved in planning for 2023, please contact the Regional, Rural and Remote Education Policy Unit.
