Murray Isbister has been running Waitaki Boys’ High School’s Fraser Farm for the past 10 years. PHOTO: NIC DUFFSchool may be out for Waitaki Boys’ High School but the Oamaru school’s farm manager is still hard at work. He said he initially told the school he would help out for six weeks — and then just never left. The farm was about 8ha and during the school year its 125 sheep usually produced about 200 lambs, he said. He said he tried to run the farm as commercially as possible, with any profits going back into the school.
