Teaching Young Judges – Teacher Handbook | Agricultural Shows Australia

Participating in young judges and paraders competitions with your students can cover several curriculum areas supporting a broad range of units of work.

The National Agricultural Shows Australia (ASA) Young Judges and Paraders Championships are a series of Competitions that provide education and experience for young people with an interest in a career or hobby in agriculture through judging and handling. Young judging and parading competitions and training programs provides young people with the opportunity to develop lifelong skills in visually assessing and handling agricultural commodities, plus public speaking and networking skills through the Competition process.

The young paraders competition provides 15 to 25-year-olds the opportunity to develop lifelong skills while building their confidence and providing networking opportunities with leaders in the agriculture industry. Participating in young judges and paraders competitions with your students can cover several curriculum areas supporting a broad range of units of work.

This handbook for teachers will support teachers to gain an understanding of the Young Judges and Paraders competitions offered from a local through to state level of competition. It should be used as a guide to assist teachers in incorporating Young Judges and Paraders competitions into their classrooms and be used as a tool for teaching about Australian agriculture.
