Kitchen Garden Program

An additional opportunity that is provided at the school is the Kitchen Garden Program.

The program utilises an educational approach that uses the garden and the kitchen to engage students in learning. The student's learning begins in the garden with seeding, transplanting, fertilising, watering, pruning and harvesting fresh produce. This fresh produce is then taken into the kitchen for the students to cook up delicious meals.

The study of this program enables schools to promote environmental and sustainability learning as well as the opportunity to connect with healthy food and lifestyles.

Interactions with kitchen gardens and their produce provide opportunities for students to read and compose procedural texts and work mathematically in collecting and representing data.
