Students studying both Agriculture and equine have the opportunities to gain widely regarded practical experience in their chosen areas, and are able to achieve recognised vocational qualifications while at school.
The study of agriculture is a compulsory core subject for all students in Year 7 to Year 10, and students can choose to study Agriculture or Vocational Education and Training Primary Industries as a HSC subject in senior years.
An important aspect of agriculture within the school is the farm, and the operation of the Yanco Shorthorn Stud, McCaughey Limousin Stud, the Yanco Shorthorn Stud and the Yanco White Suffolk Sheep Stud.
