Year 10 Primary Industries
Course Description
This course is designed to give students an introduction into what is involved in some areas of New Zealand’s Primary Industries. Students will be introduced to the dairy industry locally and will look at secondary production using milk. Students will be introduced to different aspects of aquaculture, such as mussel, oyster and salmon farming in different parts of New Zealand. We will take a closer look at Kaimoana (Aquaculture and fisheries) as an important resource for tangata whenua and the need for kaitiakitanga (guardianship). We will also get out in the school garden (māra kai) and grow produce for the school community integrating some tikanga into our practice, while also carrying out tasks like cuttings, grafting, pruning etc.
