Hands-On Learning Across the Year Levels
Students across the school have been actively engaged in the Garden to Plate program, gaining practical experience in food production, preparation and environmental awareness.
Year 6 – Exploring Dairy
Year 6 students investigated the attributes of different milks, comparing full cream, soy and other varieties. They studied ingredient lists to better understand nutritional content and capped off the lesson by making their own butter.
Year 4/5 – Crops and Cold Rolls
Year 4/5 students combined agricultural science with food preparation. After completing a lentil crop inspection, they turned their attention to the kitchen, creating fresh and healthy cold rolls.
Year 1/2 – From Paddock to Plate
Younger students also got hands-on by making cold rolls with carrots, lettuce and herbs grown in the school garden. They set out insect traps to learn about pests, explored mushrooms using a free kit from Australian Mushroom Growers and collected sticks to help prepare new garden beds.
The Garden to Plate program continues to provide meaningful, practical experiences that help students understand where food comes from while building skills for healthy living.
