The specialist school community garden is a much-loved facility of the school responsible for hands on learning of concepts such as; sustainability, food growth and environmental awareness. There is a plot of land for each class and a kitchen for the preparation of food grown in the garden. Senior students also complete Horticulture classes within the facility and some classes also make use of the wonderful outdoor kitchen!
Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program
We are excited to announce that as of December 2020 we are registered as a Kitchen Garden Program Member of The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.
The purpose of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation is to assist children in developing positive food habits for life through effective food education. This includes learning where their food comes from, learning to grow and learning to cook fresh in season produce.
We look forward to beginning this program in 2021.
