Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden

The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program's aim is to develop lifelong healthier and happier eating habits in children by having them grow, harvest, prepare and share delicious and healthy food.  Led by our garden specialist, Josie Charles, and our kitchen specialist, Giovanna Gherlardini, and a wonderful group of volunteers, all students in Years 3 and 4 participate in the program each week. Classes attend a garden session, and a kitchen session with their class teacher and enjoy a shared meal.

The program helps children learn- new language to describe foods, plants, textures and flavours; use maths to measure and weigh; to work as a team; to develop greater self confidence; to develop awareness of the environment, sustainability and plant diversity.
