MAGS Farm

ASB MAGS farm is an integral part of the Mount Albert Grammar lifeblood and teaches students valuable life lessons and skills. Most importantly, it broadens the horizons of city dwelling kids from the usual expected STEM career pathways and brings them closer to the rural way of life that until not too long ago, we prided this country on -- even in the cities. It is an invaluable asset to both the community and the country in fact, as it is teaching Auckland's future farmers and agribusiness professionals, including myself. If it weren't for this farm I, and many others would not be studying at Lincoln/Massey Universities, or agricultural schools such and Telford and Smedley completing programmes to spend our lives working to feed the world. At a time when scarcity and supply chain issues in the global food industry are very seriously pulling the limits of human development into question; institutions such as this, which aim to improve how we operate the agricultural sector are proving to be increasingly important.The ASB MAGS farm was the best part of my entire schooling experience. Both the agricultural business/science teaching paired with the pracital experience of working on the farm itself (which was really where I learned the most) grounded me with unique skills that most young people and even adults in Auckland wouldn't have. The teachers were second-to-none and had great relationships with their students.I now study at New Zealand's premier land-based university: Lincoln; and couldn't be more grateful to the MAGS farm for providing me with the grounding, discipline, skills and perspective to allow me to be confident in the decision to continue my studies and begin my professional life in the world's most critical field of study -- agriculture.
