Plans were finalised for the Land Cookery day and Hume Group Council meeting at Junee.

International officer Ann, introduced our new country of study, the Republic of Poland, with some most interesting facts.

Poland has a population of just over 38 million and is the sixth most populous member state of the EU. 

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries it was one of the largest and most populous countries in Europe, having the first European "constitution ".

Warsaw is the capital, the official language being Polish, with seven minor languages.

Their flag consists of two horizontal stripes, equal width, the upper being white, the lower red.

Agricultural and Environment officer Sue outlined the flora and fauna studies for 2018, being orchids and owls, and mentioned the beautiful bottle brush at the school.
