I am an enthusiastic 18yr old who has just completed yr 12 at Ballarat Grammar. I have grown up on my family farm in rural NSW, we are a mixed farming business with cropping and sheep. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working on the farm as it taught me many life skills. I enjoy working with animals such as sheep and goats, and my family run cattle from time to time.
Some of the jobs I have done on the farm have been:
- mustering and drafting sheep
- mustering and loading feral goats
- vaccinations and drenching at lamb marking time
- helping during shearing
- driving all types of farm vehicles, including some experience pulling a kelly chain disc and chaser bin driving at harvest and keeping the farm sheds and surrounding areas tidy.
I consider myself a hard worker that is willing to try anything.
- team work skills
- communicating with a wide range of people
- time management
- resilience
- attention to detail
- problem solving and working under pressure
- workplace safety
