Yes - thats why I chose it. It's a 20 moinute drive to the school but they 
offer agricultural lessons. Usually they are for kids in years 9 and above 
but because Alex can't play contact sport he will do "sport" working on the 
farm. Chasing chooks, milking cows and playing with sheep (they get a 
shearer in to shear the sheep). He has however discovered that they offer 
fishing in the summer as a sport so that will be a hard decision for him (I 
hate fishing!! but only because I jave to scale and gut the catch :-)))

> Karen, you just KNOW you have to post how the first day went. Right???

Sue will - and post a picture of him in his uniform. But its already going 
well - today is a public holiday but the deputy principal rang anyway to 
make sure we were on track, to see if we had any concerns and to confirm 
times for tomorrow. Thats was sooooo nice!!

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
