Kitchen Garden - Foundation to Year 6

Throughout the year, students develop a practical understanding of organic gardening as they sow, grow and harvest their own produce, with plenty of opportunities for tasting. Their appreciation and understanding of the environment grows as they work the soil, care for plants and observe the seasonal shifts as the year passes. Opportunities for scientific and artistic observation are integrated into the program and recorded in individual garden journals, becoming a record of these seasonal reflections.

Our new building includes a purpose built kitchen where students prepare and enjoy recipes using the food they have grown. With a focus on eating seasonal produce, the program widens both palates and outlook. Work in the kitchen and garden fosters co-operation, problem solving and independence, with students proudly sharing their skills at home growing food and cooking for their families.
