Virtual Experiences
From the farm to the paralympic podium
Let's celebrate Healthy Bones Action Week and join Australian Paralympian Col Pearse for an engaging Virtual Classroom session on 6 August at 10:00-10:45am AEST.
Growing up on a dairy farm in regional Victoria, Col learned the value of hard work, resilience and determination. After losing part of his foot in an accident as a young child, he went on to represent Australia and achieve success at the Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championships.
In this interactive session, students will discover Col’s journey from life on a dairy farm to becoming an elite athlete and the importance of strong bones and healthy habits. Featuring interactive activities and a live student Q&A.
Picture this: School students step into a virtual dairy farm, VR headsets on, ready to explore. They’re transported straight to the paddocks, where they see firsthand what it takes to turn grass into milk.
Dairy Australia has launched an exciting new virtual reality (VR) experience, bringing dairy farms to life for school students.
Through immersive, interactive technology, students can explore what happens on a dairy farm, see how milk is produced, and even discover career opportunities in the Australian dairy industry. These virtual experiences transport them straight to the action—all from the comfort of their classroom!
Pretty neat, huh? It makes learning about dairy more engaging, educational, and, of course, fun.
