The Wicked Patch Garden was established for students to instigate, monitor, maintain and celebrate wholesome practices and lifelong skills to help engage their senses.
The ‘Bay friendly’ wicking garden beds, each representing one of the six Indigenous seasons, sit alongside raised garden beds, fruit trees, a rainwater tank, chickens, worm farms, a compost area, as well as propagation and work areas. The gardening practice is based on organic and sustainable principles.
A well-equipped shipping container forms the hub of our kitchen area where Year 3 students enjoy fortnightly lessons where they plant, weed, water harvest and turn the produce they have grown into delicious and healthy dishes to share with their classmates.
Students with Additional Needs in Years 4 to 6 also develop life-skills by participating in gardening and cooking lessons that cater to their needs.
The Wicked Patch supports the Hungry Magpie canteen with produce grown in our garden.
