Kitchen garden program to continue

The kitchen garden program will continue to run at Woy Woy Public School this year.

Students in Years Three through to Six will be doing gardening and cooking on alternate weeks, according to principal Ms Ona Buckley.

"Ms Deb Moxon will continue the garden component and Ms Lina Williamson will deliver the kitchen lessons for Years Five and Six," Ms Buckley said.

"Ms Williamson will also take the kitchen component for Years Three and Four, with Ms Tess Kleppen taking the gardening and environmental education component," she said.

"The school will continue to run the environmental education program throughout the school working in with the kitchen garden program and the new science curriculum.

"Rumbalara environmental education field excursions will be run again this year.

"The school will continue to supplement these excursions so that costs are minimal for parents and so that all students can benefit from attending.

"The kitchen garden program will cost $5 a term for Years Three to Six, with an overall cost of $20 for the year.

"This will be added to the yearly school costs."
