We began operating regular kitchen and garden classes at Kallista Primary School in 2007, when we were selected to join the acclaimed Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.
The program has evolved and grown considerably over the years, and has transformed into a dynamic learning environment, offering so many different opportunities for incidental and practical, real-life learning.
Children from all year levels thrive in regular sessions in both our large, light, purpose-built student kitchen and our ever changing and developing garden.
Designed to promote pleasurable food education and teach positive food habits through fun, hands-on learning, the Kitchen-Garden program is the heart and soul of our school.
Supported by our kitchen and garden teachers, all students have the opportunity to participate in growing, harvesting preparing and sharing delicious and nutritious food in our purpose-built kitchen classroom.
