Kitchen Garden News – Spring Has Sprung!

Upon our return from the Term 3 holidays, our garden was looking lush and green, thanks to the wonderful combination of sunshine and rain over the break!

Our centre garden bed was overflowing with celery; a vegetable more commonly used as a supporting ingredient in soups and sauces. This time, however, celery took centre stage as the hero ingredient in our Brown Rice, Orange and Celery Salad. Students also created individual Cauliflower and Cheese Pies and delicious Blueberry Muffins.

Throughout this menu, students continued to build their confidence and independence in the kitchen, tackling more detailed recipes, following instructions carefully and refining their knife skills. It has been wonderful to see their skills develop as they take on new challenges and explore different flavours and ingredients.

With a late harvest of broccoli and our first spring onions of the season, we have since moved on to a fresh new menu featuring Broccoli Slaw and Spring Onion Flatbreads. It’s always exciting to see our garden harvests inspire what we prepare and share in the kitchen!

We Need Your Help!

As we head towards the end of 2026, we are making an urgent call-out for new Kitchen Garden volunteers. We are looking for parents, grandparents and extended family members who hold a valid Working with Children Check to join our wonderful team and help us see the program through to the end of this year and into 2027.

Our Kitchen Garden program simply cannot run without the support of our volunteers. If you have a little time to spare and would love to be part of the fun, please get in touch. Every extra pair of hands makes a real difference!

Thank you to all our current volunteers for your ongoing support and for helping our students continue to Grow, Harvest, Prepare and Share.
