Growing demand for skilled workers in the primary industries has led B+LNZ to team up with St Paul’s Collegiate School and help create New Zealand’s first Agribusiness curriculum for secondary school students.
Agribusiness at St Paul’s exposes students to the wide range of skills required and the opportunities available in the primary sector up to and beyond the farm gate. It is offered at NCEA Levels 2 and 3 and has been designed for students who excel in science and commerce.
