Year 7 have once again taken on the responsibility of planting, tending and harvesting their Vegetable Garden. Spurred on by the success of their August visit to Loaves and Fishes restaurant, they continued to work in teams every week, this time with silver beet, beetroot, spinach, coriander, lettuce, snow peas, rocket, cabbage, broccoli and beans. The restaurant, run by The Exodus Foundation, provides not just a hot and nutritious meal each day to many in need, but also healthcare and counselling, and support for children with literacy difficulties and is a great cause for the boys to continue supporting.

Many thanks to all of the year boys who have cared for and grown the Veges, the guidance of Horticulturalist Ms Meredith Kirton and our anonymous contributor. We have one more harvest for the year, due in time for Christmas.
