school groundsWe are currently engaged in revegetating our school grounds with indigenous species and removing all non indigenous plants that are seen to be weeds. Watch for lots of progress this year!
Our animalsThe school has a sheep and a goat on the premises and the students are encouraged to assist in their care and wellbeing. We also have a chook shed and a small flock of chickens who regularly produce eggs for our hospitality program and canteen.
our kitchen gardenThis year we are looking to expand our growing space and get a food forest going. Kids from the GEMS Club work in the gardens every Wednesday. Produce from our gardens goes into our canteen to make healthy lunches for our students. Check out the "Sherbie Salad" - it's grown by us!
Sherbrooke groundsWe are lucky to have a leafy, large and picturesque setting for our school.
