Kitchen Garden
In 2020 the school was awarded a grant to establish a Sustainable Kitchen Garden in the School.
The garden is situated adjacent to the schools Agriculture plot and contains furit and vegetable growing area, native bees and water capturing features. Through the use of WaterUps Wicking Beds, the garden uses up to 80% less water than a traditional garden bed. The capturing of rainwater into a 4000L water tank allows the gardens and surrounds to save tens of thousands of litres of water each year.
The garden is entirely built and managed by students, teachging them valuabel horticulture, bee keeping and sustainable living skills.
In the future it is planned that the garden will be open to the public, selling fresh produce to our local community.
