Does your son dream about going to an agricultural high school?
This Friday, 15 March at 10:00, Weston Agricultural College will be hosting interested boys and their parents at our Open Day.
As is tradition, the boys will go for a tractor ride around the farm and school, while our Principal and Educators address Parents in Westgate Hall.
There are several reasons why someone might choose to attend our agricultural high school:
1. Weston offers a high standard of academics along with practical learning experience related to agriculture, including farming techniques, animal husbandry, land management and agricultural technology.
2. Career preparation: For students interested in pursuing careers in agriculture, attending our agricultural high school provides focused training and preparation for future employment in the agricultural industry.
3. Exposure to diverse opportunities: Weston exposes students to a wide range of opportunities within the agricultural sector, including agribusiness, sustainable agriculture, horticulture, and agricultural technology.
4. Connection to the land: Attending an agricultural high school can foster a deeper connection to the land and an appreciation for nature, as students learn about the importance of agriculture in feeding and sustaining communities.
5. Community and networking: Our school fosters a strong sense of community among students who share similar interests and career goals. These connections can be valuable for networking and support throughout a student's academic and professional journey.
6. Work ethic, responsibility and problem solving: Weston requires students to develop a strong work ethic as they engage in physical labor and tasks that are essential to the operation of a farm or agricultural enterprise.

Matric Certificate AS WELL AS a number of SETA accredited certificates such as:
