Tocal Field Days is a great day out for students and teachers seeking an inspiring mix of educational activities.

We encourage schools to lock Friday 1 May in for a visit to the Field Days. To ensure your group has an informative and enjoyable visit we offer:

• a workshop program: in 2008 workshops aimed at primary aged students ran throughout the day.

• the Department of Primary Industries Weed Warriors program

• book your school group in and receive a customised program
• a schools-only meeting area close to the action, with shade cover, seating and access to toilets; a great spot to meet through the day
