This year, Patterson Lakes Primary School is thrilled to introduce the Kitchen/Garden Program for a selected group of students from both the junior and senior levels. Through weekly cooking and gardening sessions, the program integrates with the Victorian Curriculum, offering students the chance to enhance their Literacy andNumeracy skills in a fun and engaging way. The program also focuses on environmental sustainability, providing a well-rounded learning experience.

​

By participating in the Kitchen/Garden Program,students will be exposed to new foods, develop essential life skills, and gain a better understanding of a balanced diet. Additionally, they will build self-esteem through hands-on activities, enjoy physical exercise, and improve social skills like teamwork and cooperation. The program promotes authentic learning opportunities that connect with the broader curriculum and fosters an appreciation for various cultures and traditions.
