Year 3 students have taken the first steps in establishing the Junior School’s brand-new Mini Farm, marking the beginning of an exciting journey in sustainable food production.
Working alongside their classroom teachers and guided by Thiago and Phoebe from Syntropic Solutions, students planted a variety of crops, including dragon fruit, oranges, and celery. Some will be ready for harvest in the coming months, while others will be nurtured by future students for years to come.
The Mini Farm is set to become a thriving hub for hands-on learning. Students will engage in farming, composting, and many other activities that connect them with the natural world. This initiative fosters a sense of responsibility, entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship, equipping students with lifelong skills.
The first planting day was a great success, and students are eager to continue caring for this new learning space, watching their efforts grow into a flourishing farm for the school community.
