Our Chooks
One of the students favourite things about being in the kitchen garden is
interacting with the chickens.
We have five beautiful girls living in the kitchen garden providing much joy and an egg a day.
We have some very loyal volunteers who have been on the chook roster for some time but we need more.
We have a roster so that the chooks are looked after on weekends and days when the kitchen garden isn’t operating.
Duties involve letting the chickens out into their run of a morning (at drop off if during the week), checking their food and water, collecting the eggs and then locking them up again in the afternoon (pickup).
If you are interested in helping, please pop down to the kitchen garden at drop off any Wednesday or Thursday morning and ask for Andrea or ask reception to put you in contact with Andrea.
The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden volunteer roster for TERM 4 is now available!
When you arrive to volunteer, always enter the school via the main Tooronga Road gate and sign-in at reception before walking down to the SAKG.
To sign up, please click on the link below that matches the year level & class that you wish to sign up for. From there, select the class by clicking the tab at the top of the page. You will then need to enter your name and phone number.
Please note that all volunteers, including grandparents, must have a current WWC to volunteer in any capacity at ASPS.
Sincere thanks for your support!
