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.

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.

HalindaGreen 3rd Year !!!

What a birthday cake !

Thanks to Tracy and Kylie.
