About this Event
The SIPP team is in full planning mode for the 2026 RASQ Toowoomba Royal Show (26–28 March 2026) and are delighted to announce the return of our popular Ag Discovery school tours!
Ag Discovery focuses on food and fibre production through tailored demonstrations and workshops in a show setting designed for primary-aged students. The aim is to help young learners understand where their food and fibre comes from and appreciate the vital role farming plays in our everyday lives.
This one-day event will be held on Thursday, 26 March 2026, from 9:30am to 12:00pm, and is open to all primary students (Prep to Year 6). Students will engage with a range of agricultural industry demonstrations across multiple commodities while enjoying the Toowoomba Royal Show.
