Well it may not have been champagne but there was plenty of Paul’s nutritious milk drunk and delicious food eaten when we recently launched the Archibull Prize in Kiama and Sydney.

Kiama Mayor Brian Petschler pictured here with Young Eco Champion Renae Riviere (left) Gabrielle Quigley and students from Corpus  Christi Catholic School spoke at the Kiama Launch

Students and teachers who attended got an outline of the ethos behind the Archibull Prize program and how it works from me

 

Then Wendy Taylor the art judge shared what excited and ticked all her boxes for great cow art

A highlight of the Sydney launch was having some of our 2013 Young Farming Champions attend and meet some of the students and teachers involved
