The RAS runs a comprehensive schools’ program each year at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, which aims to inform and educate children on the wide range of Australian agricultural pursuits.

For many years school students from the city and country have been visiting the Show to soak up the sights, sounds and smells of rural Australia. From District Exhibits and livestock judging, to hands-on demonstrations and booked in sessions about Australian agriculture, farm life and history, there’s a learning experience around every corner.
