Agriculture
Cranebrook High School Farm
The farm itself incorporates the major areas of the wider Agricultural Industry with a growing flock of Dorper sheep for meat production, cropping and gardens for vegetable production, both laying and meat hens, alpacas for high quality fibre and a calf for exhibition at the Penrith Show. Topics covered for students include, cattle, sheep, alpacas, poultry, landscape, bonsai, sustainability, aquaculture and farm management.
Each year student represented at the Royal Easter show, Penrith show and the Hawkesbury show winning ribbons at all three. In 2008 we also received for the second time in three years the coveted Dr R E Renshaw trophy for contributions to the Penrith Show.
Many of our senior agriculture students in have gone on to further their studies in the industry or into careers in agriculture.
