CYS has extensive grounds including several hectares of school farm.

As part of the B-12 Agriculture Program we offer Garden to Plate to all primary students. Through the year, students plan garden plots, prepare beds for seeding, seed a range of vegetable crops, maintain the plots and harvest the produce. 

They use that produce in the Ag Block kitchen or Home Economic centre to prep, cook and eat their produce.
