Our Year 7 and 8 students have been embracing the paddock to plate approach in their mandatory technology agriculture and food tech classes this term. Thanks to the generous donation of seedlings from Leppington Speedy Seedlings, our boys have been hard at work in the garden, nurturing and growing a variety of vegetables.
The hands-on experience began with planting and caring for their vegetable gardens. The students have shown great dedication in tending to their plants, learning valuable lessons about responsibility and the growth process of their food. This project not only fosters an appreciation for agriculture but also emphasises the importance of sustainable practices.
Recently, the boys harvested their first crop of bok choy, a moment of pride and achievement for everyone involved. The fresh, homegrown bok choy was then taken to the kitchen, where the students turned it into a delicious Asian green beef stir-fry during their food tech practical class. This dish showed off their hard work and showcased the direct connection between the garden and the kitchen.
Stay tuned for more updates as our young gardeners and chefs continue their journey from paddock to plate!
