This program is now called ECLEP (Enterprise and Community Learning Engagement Program). ECLEP has two groups this year – Monday Paddock to Plate Enterprise and Tuesday Community Contribution activities.

Students are using foods from the farm to make freshly cooked and nutritious meals to sell at our school canteen. The students will distribute surveys to students which can be filled out to determine the most popular meals/snacks we can create and sell at the canteen on a Tuesday. We picked some cauliflower, spinach, onions and rhubarb (amongst other things), used bacon and eggs and ham from our school pigs to create some basic meals. Students look forward to collaborating with the school cafeteria to engage effectively in enterprise learning.

At this stage we have a small group of boys – Mitch, Maklen, James, Blake and Hunter. These boys are currently maintaining the Japanese section of the garden, it is a beautiful and peaceful place for us to contribute to the community each week. As Autumn approaches and the leaves change colour, we can appreciate the beauty of nature whilst working hard.
