Environmetal Education\Kitchen Garden

Preston East Primary School opened an Environmental Garden Area in mid 2004.  This area comprises a chook shed and run, composting bays, raised garden beds, table & seating and tool shed.  Children attend our “kitchen garden” in class groups to participate in the hands-on learning experience of organic gardening.  We have also established a line of hazelnut trees and a citrus and olive grove which is supported by a large water tank.  We plan also to develop our indigenous plantings, to increase the biodiversity in our school grounds.

Preston East Primary School has an active policy to encourage children to become environmentally aware and responsible citizens of the 21^st Century.  We encourage all families to become involved with these projects.
