2020 – 2022
Murrumbidgee Landcare Inc are excited to be working with Riverina Local Land Services to offer the award-winning Picture You in Agriculture programs to schools in the Riverina!
If you are unsure about delivering this program at your school during Covid-19, we encourage you to read this series of stories from schools participating in 2020. As you will see, the program is extremely flexible, and can be adapted to meet the needs of your school community. If you have any questions, you are most welcome to contact Lynne Strong (National Program Director, Picture You in Agriculture) for a chat.
The Archibull Prize (for secondary schools)
The Archibull Prize sees students research an Agricultural Area of Investigation (AoI) that is important to them and their community and express their findings through a Case Study Action Project and Art – specifically a life size fibreglass cow.
The Archibull Prize matches Young Farming Champions (YFC), enthusiastic young people working in the agriculture sector, to each school. The YFC supports the students and opens their eyes to the diversity of careers available. The YFC, with the support of community champions and experts, assist the students to follow the journey to feed, clothe and power an ever-increasing population and to understand the challenges facing farmers and the communities they support.
The program design also invites the students to be part of the solution by sharing their ideas on how to tackle these challenges as individuals, as a community and as the mums and dads of the next generation.

Kreative Koalas (for primary schools)
Kreative Koalas uses art and multimedia as a vehicle to inspire young people to investigate and reflect on global sustainability issues and act at a local level.
The program encourages students and teachers to have courageous conversations around the following United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
By linking local schools to local community experts, Kreative Koalas aims to encourage intergenerational connection and greater awareness of existing long-term sustainability projects.
