Components of AG Academy
The journey begins here!
AG Academy gives Year 6 teachers five lesson plans and a Student Investigation to promote learning about agriculture in WA. These are ready to go, aligned to the WA curriculum and developed by Edith Cowan University in collaboration with agricultural industry partners.
AG Academy brings the farm to the whole of school via incursion. Students will have opportunity to talk to and ask questions of an agricultural industry professional about their chosen career, such as their daily activities and how they became interested in their field.
AG Academy's journal summarises student learning about Agriculture in Western Australia, with the Augmented Reality experiences providing sustained student engagement. The journal is presented to each student who completes the program. We also hope that the students will share the journal with a parent, grandparent or friends so they may also learn something about agriculture in Western Australia.
Our Purpose
At AG Academy, we know how important the Western Australia agriculture industry is to each and every person – and we want to share that knowledge and appreciation with the next generation.
Bringing the experience to them, AG Academy seeks to spark curiosity in students, and give them the tools to understand the many agricultural industries of Western Australia.
The students of today will be the participants of the Agricultural industry of tomorrow, and we hope to guide their interest and love of Western Australia Agriculture.
