Ag Day 2025

Ag Day is an annual event at Kaharoa School and is usually held at the beginning of Term 4.

This year we will be running the traditional Ag Day on Friday, 17 October, with the following classes: lambs, calves, kids, chickens or plants/vegetables. There is a choice between raising baby chicks or caring for rescue chickens. Please arrange to obtain your own animal or plant. If we are advised of anyone able to assist with providing any of these animals to school families, we will let you know.

Lamb, Kid, or Calf classes: these will be judged on ‘leading’, ‘calling’, and ‘care and attention’.

Chicken classes: chickens are judged on ‘knowledge’, and ‘care and attention’ with the added section of ‘most recovered’ for rescue chickens.

Trophies and ribbons will be awarded to the place getters for the lamb, kid, calf and chicken classes.

These animals must be born between 20 July and 25 September 2025. These dates may be subject to change by the Group Day organisers. More information will be sent if anything changes.

Plant/Vegetable class: certificates will be awarded to place getters. This will be judged on ‘knowledge’ and ‘presentation and care’.

The usual format for the day is - registration is open from 8.45am to 9.45am on the day and the children will be issued a registration number. The judges’ briefing is at 9.30am in the staffroom and the event judging commences at 10.00am.

This is a fun and exciting event that is enjoyed by the children and it teaches them about looking after something other than themselves.

If a child comes 1st or 2nd in an event for the lamb or calf section, they are eligible to enter Group Day which will be held on Friday, 24 October 2025. Registration for Group Day is through our school office. Any child can enter the open rings on the day with their lamb, calf or kid.

Please have a look and read over the information provided below for the class your child is interested in entering.
