Sowing seeds of learning and community spirit

More than vegetables are grown at St Brendan's Catholic School's community garden

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.
