Sustainable Gardening Kitchen

The Sustainable Gardening Kitchen program offers students the opportunity to explore how plants and animals are grown for food, the preparation, planting and maintaining of our vegetable garden and chicken pen supports this. Students prepare food for eating using no-waste cooking recipes and follow food handling guidelines. 

Sustainable practices and the conservation of natural habitats and resources are investigated, progressing each year as the students do. Students further develop their knowledge of Australian animals and how they depend on each other and the environment to survive. Students focus on the unique features, habitats, and lifecycles, and how they can help care for wildlife and the environment.

The upkeep and care of our frog bog, chickens and ducks also teaches our students responsibility and how to care for different species.

The exploration of Aboriginal history, culture, and sustainability, while learning about Wurundjeri and Wadawurrung connections to the land are also important to this program.
