Western Australian College of Agriculture - Morawa
|
The W.A College of Agriculture at Morawa is 360km kilometres north of Perth, adjoining the Morawa townsite. The property is 3,242ha and primarily a broad acre farm with enterprises in a Gelbvieh Cattle Stud, merino sheep and a piggery. The College offers a hands on approach to education using traditional classroom teaching combined with learning through farm skills, workshops and pastoral industries studies. Classroom subjects are delivered using a practical and agricultural bias. Students who successfully complete the course are in a perfect position to enter directly into the workforce, apply for apprenticeships/traineeships or entry to Muresk. Students spend one day per week working on the farm ensuring exposure to all facets of farm operation. A half day is spent in both automotive and construction workshops, and the rest of the week in the classrooms. The College works closely with Agriculture W.A. to develop and trial new and improved farming methods and technologies. The modern residential hostel houses up to 60 male and female students in air conditioned dormitories, each with their own common room fitted with a kitchenette and television. Dedicated hostel staff frequently organise weekend activities including camps, picnics, concerts and AFL football matches. Residential management policy is designed to create a balance between supervision, freedom and responsibility.
