St Joseph’s Primary School are creating a new Edible Schoolyard with an Outdoor Classroom and we need your help to build and maintain it through the Adopt Our Edible Schoolyard Project.
The Adoption Project gives families, individuals, companies and organisations the opportunity to sponsor the materials and time required to establish the garden through money contributions, material donations, complementary trade services and regular volunteer hours.
“We encourage you to get behind our adoption project. The hands-on experiential method of learning has many benefits for the modern child. We believe our new school garden will provide essential learnings for children today if we are to have a sustainable tomorrow.”
Micheal O’Sullivan, Principal
