A Pig Education Class is a dynamic half‑day educational experience held on the eve of the Sydney Royal Easter Show—before the gates officially open to the public. Designed especially for secondary school students, this action‑packed event invites participants to step behind the scenes of the pig and pork industries and discover what really happens on farm and in the show ring.
Whether students are already involved with livestock at the Show via cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, or poultry or simply curious to learn more, Baconomics offers an engaging and hands‑on introduction to Australia’s pig sector. Throughout the session, students rotate through a series of interactive demonstrations and practical skill stations, where they’ll try their hand at:
- Pig washing and handling
- Judging techniques
- Weighing and assessing animals
- Artificial insemination demonstrations
- Understanding production systems and industry best practice
With its mix of real‑world learning, live demonstrations, and hands‑on activities, Baconomics turns agricultural education into an exciting, memorable adventure—setting the stage for an inspiring Easter Show experience.
