On Thursday 22 October the Hon Sir Anand Satyanand and his wife Lady Susan Satyanand visited our school. They were very interested in the things we are doing as a school to help our local environment.
Two students escorted the Governor General and his wife up to our edible garden and talked about the vegetables that have been planted, the bokashi and future plans at the garden.
One student gave them each a GOOS (Good On One Side) pad made from scrap paper, and talked about how the pads are made and then sold to children and parents.
Lady Satyanand gave us many good ideas for improving our garden. Did you know rhubarb spray is good to stop insects eating the vegetables? Corn likes to talk to each other so plant them close together.
