Photographs And Useful Information about Foster Primary School

I spent a couple of afternoons wandering around this friendly school taking photographs. The school grounds are delightful and the kitchen garden has been lovingly attended to by the students and some very enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers. One day I watched a group of children in their fabulous outdoor classroom, being told about fertilizing and composting … then saw the results as they excitedly went about their tasks. It was enchanting to watch them discuss the names of the plants, herbs, vegetables and fruit trees. Several students were debating about which type of pea they were holding, as chooks scratched happily nearby. I’ve also heard of the great results that are coming from the kitchen and can’t wait to go back and sample the produce. Of course, the next step for these children is to move on to the South Gippsland Secondary College, where the kitchen facilities and administration areas are all brand new.
