Kitchen & Grove News

Welcome back to the Kitchen Garden program! We’re excited to see familiar faces and welcome new ones.

The program relies on volunteers from Year 3 & 4 families at Orchard Grove Primary School. It's a fun food education initiative that needs many hands to thrive, and we truly appreciate your support!

Each Grade 3 and 4 class visits the Kitchen once a term, and Grove twice a term. 

We are currently recruiting volunteers for the following roles:

- **Grove Sessions:** 

  - Fridays at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM (1 hour sessions)

- **Kitchen Session:** 

  - Fridays at 11:30 AM (1.5 hour session)

  - Volunteers are asked to arrive 5 minutes early and stay for cleanup until approximately 1:30 PM.

Please use the following link sign up for volunteering in the Kitchen Garden for Term 1:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094BAFA629A7FAC43-54734718-thegrove#/

We’ll also be holding a raffle soon to raise funds for new equipment and facilities for the kitchen and garden, so stay tuned!
