Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden

Ode to Mrs O'Mealley

On behalf of our school community we would like to thank Mrs O'Mealley for her outstanding contribution to our kitchen garden program during her 21 years. During weekly kitchen sessions Mrs O has sourced and created recipes to turn our homegrown fruit and vegetables into tempting tastings for our students'. In addition to this Mrs O has run our café to the community and spent numerous hours making a huge range of preserves to make the most of surplus ingredients. 

We wish you all the very best for your retirement and would like to pay tribute to you through a little 'Ode to Mrs O'Mealley'.
