School Garden

• Environmental awareness and appreciation are high on the schools agenda. On going projects include can recycling, developing & maintaining the school garden & vegetable garden.
• Last year while some of our pupils prepared a vegetable patch and planted potatoes, onions ,others developed a school garden ­a rockery and herb garden.
