Sacred Heart Primary School, Villawood
Sacred Heart Primary School, Villawood began a local garden some years ago. Planting a variety of vegetables and fruit is twinned with chooks so that the vast majority of their canteen production comes form this garden. The children are able to understand the food cycle by planting, looking after, harvesting and then using their produce. Students guide visitors through what they produce and where this goes. The reason the school began this approach is that the school is populated by 90% + Asian students, who live in local high-rise and didn't know where their food came from. Kindergarten children
show visitors on a smartboard where produce comes from. Many of the 
school families take advantage of the garden and pick the produce to use in their home. Principal, Philip Barrington, said that the garden had encouraged the students to understand the where and how food is produced and the importance of climate to food production and how climate change can disrupt this cycle.
