Calrossy students have achieved a strong set of results at this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show, with success across parading, Shorthorn classes and the steer competition.
For many of the students involved, the Show represents the culmination of months of preparation—working with livestock, refining their handling skills, and learning what it takes to present animals at a high standard. Experiences like this are a key part of Agriculture at Calrossy, where students are involved in the full process of preparing, showing and managing livestock.
Parading and Judging
Students represented the School well across both parading and judging competitions, where attention to detail, calm handling and sound decision-making are all essential.
Grace Newcombe – 1st place, School Paraders’ Competition (Class F001H2, Heat 2), and Highly Commended, Shorthorn Parader section
Makenzi Ison – 3rd place, RAS/AgShows NSW Paraders’ Competition (Heat 2)

Additional involvement included Isabella Wheatley, who competed in the Junior Meat Judging competition (sheep).
A number of students also had the opportunity to be involved beyond the ring, with Ellie McCulloch, Grace Newcombe and Evy Walsh featured on the Royal Easter Show radio station.
These experiences reflect both individual effort and the breadth of opportunities available to students through the program.

A standout moment of the competition was achieved by Regan Banks, who led the Grand Champion Steer—the second time she has achieved this result at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. The steer, originally purchased as a young steer from Tyson Will, was shown by Regan in Class 10 where it placed first, before going on to be awarded Grand Champion.
A Team Effort
Across all areas of competition, these results reflect a collective effort. Students have worked together over many months—on the School farm and at events—supporting one another and building practical skills along the way.
Opportunities such as the Sydney Royal Easter Show provide a valuable setting for students to apply their learning, while developing confidence, responsibility and teamwork.
Congratulations to all students involved, along with the staff and families who supported them throughout the season.
