As we head into the hot, dry months of summer we are extremely happy to have our own sustainable supply of water for our school edible gardens.

| New water tank - in place for the winter rainfall |
A huge thank you to Auckland Council for the grant to make this happen and to the school PTA for purchasing the water tank initially.

| Gardening in progress! |
The garden beds still need nurturing and watering over the school holidays to maintain good soil quality for next year. We still have things growing too!
We will be back into our Garden to Table programme in Term 1 2023.
When surveyed, 95% of students who took part in this programme rated it very highly for how much they enjoyed it.
The majority also commented that they felt it had many real life learning benefits.
I know they all enjoyed the kai!
