Kitchen/ Garden | ||
|---|---|---|
Introduction: | The kitchen garden program at Majura Primary is guided by the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation and their ‘pleasurable food philosophy’. The kitchen garden program includes a multitude of health, wellbeing, education and community benefits. The program at Majura Primary is delivered by a qualified horticulturist in the garden and a qualified chef in the kitchen. | |
Belief statement: | The philosophy that supports the ‘Pleasurable food education” is to provide a fun, hands-on approach to teaching our students about fresh, seasonal, and delicious food to support positive food habits for life. The Majura Primary students are involved in the whole process of the garden, from sowing, weeding, fertilising, mulching, watering, to harvesting and then creating dishes with the food they have had a hand in producing. The students sit down together and share the meal they have prepared, encouraging social interaction and conversation. | |
