Reuse a Bag, find a Solution !
When it gets a bit muddy at your local community garden you could always opt to have your handy set of shopping bags to protect your shoes ! Recycling fun !

Green Routines !
On Mondays the green is busy !
The big showy spring and summer growing season has past but there is a lot to be done on the green. More than ever now we have the resources to really gear up ! All classes are visiting HalindaGreen as regularly as the school library. From a rebel garden a few years back, dug-in as best could be within the busy week by a couple of pioneer classes to a major focus program across the school this place is growing in more ways than one. There is a class from Secondary and a class from Seniors, there are Junior classes and Primary classes, there are composters, planters, waterers, and cookers out there every Monday !
We get the big jobs done on Mondays out on HalindaGreen.

Madang School Neighbours Visit
Our Neighbourhood Primary School Madang came to visit us.
We are glad to welcome classes to visit and join us, and learn together !
Harvest Table on the Green
It's time to get picky ! The fruits (and vegetables) of our labours are ripe for the seasonal picking. Tastey meals are never far behind when the baskets roll in with harvest.

What's Cookin' ?
If you are a student of Halinda School you would already have tasted the produce of the 'Green. But now you will smell more good cooking out on the green itself. Stay tuned as cooking on HalindaGreen ramps up !
SAKG Official Opening Day
We have been planting and eating produce from the green for a few years now, and we have been using the green pavilion shed on the green since we worked it to lock-up stage but now the best BBQ outdoor classroom in Western Sydney is all decked out and dolled up for the big event ! Today is official opening of the kitchen day.
Thankyou to all our helpers, volunteers, donors, well-wishers and busy bees. Thankyou to our students and staff, our parents and our carers who have contributed to this partnership. It is such proof of the spirit of community giving and sharing. Thankyou.

Seasonal Tastes
Ready to 'plate-up' in a Mount Druitt district school near you this autumn ! We are harvesting the rewards of tending to our garden project. 'Tend to your own patch well' as they used to say, and you will reap well. We are geared up and ready to let the recipes roll even more !

Busy Bees
Staff got together on Friday afternoon and put in an extra 110% (as our staff often do) to make the 'Green look spruce for the Official opening of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen in our green pavilion.

Sunday Dawn on the Green
What a lovely little part of the world it is here. We are within 50 minutes of the centre of the biggest city on the continent of Australia and the birds are singing and chirping on HalindaGreen. The air is so fresh and dewy in Autumn you might mistake it for the country, but as the suburb wakes around you, you know it is a special part of western Sydney.

Week 2 Produce from the Green
Growing season in the garden !
Swiftly accompanied by harvesting !
Year 9/10 had fun reusing old gelato containers from Ms Smith to collect a bit of what is on offer in our School Garden this week. We spread the love and shared it out with whomever wanted this surplus ! Across the school menus florished !
See our previous posts to see how far we have come !

Greening Up over the Wet Summer
The kids may be off on their annual well earned break from school after all those hard months of learning, but HalindaGreen just keeps on working.
This wet summer makes growing easy !
Our School Garden is going burgeoning. In our third year we have more vegetables than ever being produced and it is only going to get busier out on HalindaGreen when school returns. But for now over the New Year Holiday the garden is soaking up sun and rain and filling with productive energy.
