Home Hill State High School (HHS) representatives recently took part in the prestigious Gatton AgTech Showcase, an event celebrating innovation and technology in modern agriculture.
Agriculture teacher Louise Nicholas and agricultural assistant Kim Anderson attended the two-day event, which brought together more than 1,400 growers, industry members, students, and innovators from across Queensland. Hosted at the Queensland Government Smart Farm, the showcase provided a platform to explore the latest in protected cropping, ag-tech advancements, and sustainable farming solutions.
The work being undertaken by students at Home Hill SHS and Ayr SHS was proudly shared at the event, with attendees describing their efforts as “impressive.” The showcase featured cutting-edge technologies such as laser weeders, smart sprayers, and drone-based data systems, highlighting how rapidly the agricultural industry is evolving.
These advancements will directly support the school’s mission of preparing students for future careers in agriculture, ensuring they are skilled, adaptable, and industry-ready.
Home Hill SHS expressed its gratitude to the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) for supporting the school’s involvement and providing ongoing guidance in their protective cropping journey. The school also acknowledged the partnerships and connections developed through the event, which will continue to enhance the agricultural program and deliver valuable real-world learning experiences.
The school extended its thanks to Hort Innovation, the Queensland DPI, and event sponsors for backing such a forward-thinking initiative. The strong turnout at the showcase reflected a growing interest in sustainable, technology-driven agriculture, something Home Hill State High School is proud to be a part of.
