St Brendan’s Catholic Primary School in Lake Munmorah is sowing the seeds of sustainability, learning, and community spirit through its flourishing community garden — a vibrant space where students, staff, and families come together to grow more than just vegetables.
The garden, located on the school grounds, is a hands-on learning hub where students explore environmental education, healthy eating and teamwork.
Guided by staff and supported by parent volunteers, students plant, nurture and harvest a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs throughout the year.
The community garden is more than just a patch of soil – it’s a living classroom.
It teaches students responsibility, patience and the importance of caring for God’s creation.
The initiative aligns with the school’s commitment to holistic education, blending academic learning with real-world experiences.
Produce from the garden is often used, enjoyed and shared with families, reinforcing the values of sustainability and generosity.
As a feeder school to St Brigid’s Catholic College, the local Catholic high school, St Brendan’s continues to offer a nurturing and connected educational pathway for families in the Lake Munmorah region.
