Garden of Weedin & Garden Club News
Welcome back for the year. Wander down to the garden and check out the tomatoes and pumpkins that have grown in abundance over the holidays.
These crops will be harvested this week and sent to classes so they can make some delicious healthy food.
An invitation to attend Garden Club on Wednesday from 3.00pm to 4.00pm has been sent home. Please fill in the details and return. Parents, Grandparents and siblings are all welcome to attend. We plant, nurture and look after the garden. We will also be involved in making items for the garden and having workshops on how to cook the produce.
Sustainability and recycling projects will take on a different approach this year, with classes being asked to take responsibility for the many areas. Sustainability practices will then reach every student and embed learning into real life practical activities.
What is Planned
We will run the garden in a different way this year. Planting will be around a theme such as, ‘Pizza, soup, salad, heirloom, Mexican, Thai’ gardens and classes will all work together to plant and nurture the garden to then prepare and cook with the ingredients. The canteen will also be using produce from the garden in their healthy lunches.
Parent and community representatives are needed for the Sustainability committee. We have very informal meetings once a term that decide where the schools are heading on this journey. This is your chance to have a say. If interested please contact Sandra Bennett.
It is Schools Cleanup Day on Thursday 28th February and the campus will come together to make our school litter free so we can all be very proud of it.
Happy gardening and recycling,
Sandra & Stacey – Sustainability Coordinators
