About the project

We built a kitchen garden to teach students how to grow and prepare their own food.

The kitchen has 4 work stations, where students are able to come and learn about healthy eating, food preparation, sharing meals and cultural food education that links to programs such as Japanese language classes.

The garden was community-built and features a variety of fruit trees and vegetable beds that ‘feed’ the kitchen and provide opportunities for science and environmental education. 

Funding

In 2016–17, the school received $112,000 in School Pride and Sports Funding
