Growing Family
Our very own raised lamb, Chanel, from 2015 has recently become a Mum, giving birth to a cute baby boy lamb last week. It is so exciting to see our lambs go off and live happy lives on the farm.
Chickens
We are once again looking for volunteers who would like to have our girls for the upcoming holidays. If you are available and interested please contact Rhonda French. The girls come completely self-sufficient with fencing, home and food. As good layers, you will get abundant supply of fresh eggs every day!
Cake Stall
Eco Garden will be hosting the Cake Stall at the Election on the 2nd July. We will be sending home plates this Friday and asking for ‘fresh, home baked’ goodies that can be sold at the Cake Stall. Information on donating baked goods will come home with the plates. We will be looking for volunteers to assist with pricing and sorting cakes on Friday afternoon and selling cakes on Saturday morning.
Next Meeting
The Eco Garden committee meets once a month and is an opportunity for parents to hear what is involved, how they can help out and make suggestions for the future. If you would like to attend you are welcome at any time. Our next meeting is this Wednesday, 15th June, in K/1S classroom at 7pm.

Newsletter Term 2, Week 6
Bunnings
A massive big thank you to all of the people who supported our Bunnings BBQ by coming along and buying a sausage but especially to the people who donated an hour or two of their time to help cook sausages and serve the many hungry people. It was a big day raising $1092.26 towards our school Eco Garden. If you missed out this time we will be having another BBQ fundraiser on the 6th August.
Cake Stall– Election Day
The Eco Garden will be having a cake stall at the Election on the 2nd July. They will be sending home cake plates and instructions for drop off closer to the time. Cake boxes of different sizes will be available if that suits. If you are able to make something yummy and homemade that we can sell to support the gardens and animals please watch out for more information. We appreciate the support.
Plants
We have recently purchased some new finger limes for the garden. They are a great addition to any salad or nice as a tangy treat! Follow the steps in the Bush Tucker garden to try one out.
Meeting
The Eco Garden Committee meets the third Wednesday of every month at 7:00pm. Feel free to come along at any time.

Newsletter Term 1, Week 8
2016 in the garden has started with great plans and exciting opportunities ahead. Several classes have already had the opportunity to cook and plant. K/1S beans are growing wildly. A garden full of basil is hoped to become a large range of cooking and eating opportunities. Our “girls” have settled in well and are slowly making their way through the long grass in their pen.
Once again the hardworking efforts of the parent, staff and student bodies have been vital in bringing the gardens to where they are today. From garden tidy up, feeding the compost, planting and harvesting, minding the chooks on the weekend the Eco Garden of HHPS is a combined community effort.
Next Meeting
The Eco Garden committee meets once a month and is an opportunity for parents to hear what is involved, how they can help out and make suggestions for the future. If you would like to attend you are welcome at any time. Our next meeting is this Wednesday, 16th March, in K/1S classroom at 7pm. This will be our AGM.
Working Bee
This Saturday, 19th March, from 9am there will be a working bee to conduct a general tidy up around the gardens, build a new raised garden bed, and perform some needed maintenance on the chook pen. If you have skills, tools or just a general hard working attitude please come along and help out – even for a short while! Many hands do make light work.
Planting
We will be preparing the garden with its winter crops and replanting the garden beds on the 31st March and 1st April. If you would like to come and help for the day or when your child’s class will be planting please contact Briony Scanlan or Rhonda French.
Animals
We are once again hoping to have some baby lambs but at this stage our current supplier doesn’t have any stock. We are looking into other options but if you know anyone who has sheep/ lambs and would be happy for us to raise some for them please contact the school. All animals are returned to the farm and looked after!
Coco and Chanel are happily ploughing through the fields in Dubbo where they have found their new home. They will soon be joined by another ex-student - Lola.
In the meantime feel free to visit the chooky girls and give them a pat – they are hand raised!
If you wish to know more or be involved in anyway please contact the school.

Summer crop
Year K/1S planting beans
Burst of flavour from the native finger limes in the bushtucker garden
The fig tree recovered remarkably well after an attack of scale insects last year
Year 1/2S used up the last of the spinach, parsley & spring onions for a spinach dip. The garden beds will be replanted with winter veg in a couple of weeks.
