Dorper School Results

After an anxious wait the course results are back. Much to the relief of Eileen, Sarah, Jess and myself  we all passed. My pass mark was 74% just above the class average of 73%. Wicus Cronje the South African Judge and inspector will be very satisfied with 19 out of 20 students passing the course.

The happy but tired students

After leading three courses for over 60 people and conducting a number of inspections throughout NSW, Wicus spent a week in Western Australia inspecting various dorper flocks before returning to South Africa.  Prior to his departure, Wicus completed marking the Senior Exams.

Of the 20 Senior Course participants, all passed the theory portion of the exam and all but one passed the combined theory and practical exam.  To pass the exam, candidates must earn at least 50% of the maximum points in each of the four sections (one theory section and three practical sections) and at least 60% of the maximum total points.
