KITCHEN GARDEN WINS AN EXCELLENCE AWARD

On Thursday 10th September our very own Kitchen Garden project was a popular winner at the Education Department’s Excellence Awards.  Thank you to all those who have contributed to making it a very successful addition to our school, especially Mr. Mcleod and Suzie Ormonde!

Here are a few more pictures to show you how much it has grown in the last couple of months.

We look forward to reading your comments, just below this post.




HEALTHY FRUIT ‘N VEG WEEK

11 09 2009

This week students have enjoyed a delicious fruit kebab, delivered to their classrooms thanks to all those friends and parents who gave their time to chopping up a range of yummy fruits.  Thank you to parents: Tracy, Alex and Jenny on Monday, and Steph, Carolyn and Alison on Wednesday. :)

Despite the torrential rain and howling gales, students were treated to  herb pikelets cooked up by Sally Hayes and Suzie Ormonde on Thursday.  The green bits were carefully tasted as students tried to name the herbs used.  Thank you to our ‘brave’ volunteers and Mr. Mcleod for his extraordinary organisational skills. :)

Why don’t you tell Mr. Mcleod which activity you enjoyed most and why or you may like to suggest a new activity for  Healthy Fruit ‘n Veg Week next year.
