This term students from our new program ‘Kangaroo Landing’ have been working in the kitchen and garden, watering and caring for plants. Students harvest the vegetables and fruit which they then use for cooking sessions. They are making connections between the food they grow and care for, and how we can turn that into the healthy food that we cook and eat. Sometimes in the kitchen, students are trying certain vegetables for the first time. The students have been enjoying sampling, tasting vegetables, and experiencing the flavour and texture of new foods.

This term Springboard students also got out and about! In week seven, all of Springboard met up with students from Claremont College who are also enrolled in Preliminary TASC subjects. We met at the Domain for some organised games while making new friends in the process. It was a fun excursion out of the college.
