🚜We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of several of our students who represented themselves, their families, and the wider community with distinction at Saturday's Cumberland Show.
The Cumberland Show is one of the region's premier agricultural events, showcasing the very best of farming, livestock, rural traditions, and countryside skills. Competing against strong entries from across the county, our students demonstrated exceptional dedication, talent, and sportsmanship.
👏Congratulations to the following students on their outstanding results:
🥈Ollie S (Y8) – 2nd Place in Cumberland Wrestling
🥉Sam V (Y8) – 3rd Place in Cumberland Wrestling
🏆Phoebe and Lexi P (Y8 & Y9) – Their farm was awarded Champion for their British Blue Cow
🏆Lexi P (Y9) – Champion Young Handler
🏆Liam G (Y9) – Champion Young Handler (dairy calf)
🥉Scarlett G (Y7) – 3rd Young Handler (dairy calf)
🏵️Benji P (Y9) – 4th Young handler (dairy calf)
(Let us know if there are other WHS winners we haven't yet heard about)
These achievements reflect the hard work, commitment, and passion our students bring to their pursuits both in and out of school. Whether competing in traditional Cumberland wrestling or showcasing excellence in livestock handling and presentation, they have all represented themselves superbly👌
🐑The success of our students at the Cumberland Show comes at an exciting time for agriculture within our school. Next week, our Year 8 and Year 9 Agriculture and Open Spaces students will have the opportunity to visit the Highland Show, one of the UK's largest and most prestigious agricultural events. The visit will allow students to learn more about farming, livestock, food production, and the many career opportunities available within the rural sector.
📆Looking ahead to July, we will also be hosting our own Mini Agricultural Show with Year 7 students, celebrating our rural community, and showcasing the skills, talents, and interests of our students. The event promises to be a wonderful opportunity to recognise the importance of agriculture in our local area.
