The school is open to anyone who wants to learn to shear sheep. Ownership of sheep or a desire to become a commercial shearer is preferred. Participants who do not currently own sheep or who want to learn for academic purposes will be deprioritized. Returning participants will receive elevated priority. Must be 16 years of age or older and possess a body and mind with the strength and willingness to learn to shear sheep.
