Students from Kempsey High School used some of their holidays to get along to a showground working bee.
The old wooden cattle yards have now been replaced with some brand spanking new steel posts and rails and they really add value to the ring.
Under the watchful guidance of Bob MacKenzie and assisted by Agriculture teacher Gavin Saul and parent Kurt Supple, seven students dug the holes and mixed cement to set the posts in place.
The volunteer work is part of the Agriculture course, designed to instil rural values of cooperation and giving support to the farming community. Thanks to Bob, Gavin and Kurt and to the students: Kyle Barclay, Rachel Bednarz, Lachy Byrne, Blake Carmady, Clayton Dries, Cooper Gray, Caitlin Lee and Charlie Supple for their efforts.
