Welcome to Bondi Public School’s Kitchen Garden Program.

This year students from Years 2-6 have begun classes in the kitchen and garden, every week, where they grow, harvest, prepare and share food.

“The aim of the Kitchen Garden Program is pleasurable food education for children. The Program develops lifelong skills in the kitchen and garden and encourages children to enjoy all the benefits of growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing.” Stephanie Alexander

“I love eating the produce; it’s delicious!” Bruno, 10

“I like the flowers, they smell like strawberries. And the corn we tried, with the handles… can we grow some at home?” Elliot, 5
