🌿🍞 From Garden to Plate! 🍞🌿

Our year 5 and 6 students recently enjoyed a delicious hands-on learning experience by making their own flatbread and homemade dips using fresh ingredients harvested from our school garden. Students made hummus, parsley pesto, beetroot raita, carrot and spice dip and cucumber, herb, and yoghurt dip.

Students picked herbs and produce from the garden before working together to prepare a variety of tasty dips and freshly made flatbreads. They then had the opportunity to share their creations with their cohort and teachers, proudly showcasing the results of their hard work.

This activity helped students develop food preparation skills, explore where food comes from, and experience the joy of growing, harvesting, preparing, and sharing food with others.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this wonderful garden-to-table experience possible! 🌱🥒🫑🥕

🌟National Simultaneous Storytime 2026🌟

Today, many of our classes engaged in the reading of Luna Roo as part of National Simultaneous Storytime. Students across Australia read the same story at the same time today and Luna Roo was a huge hit!

We have been preparing for this event for weeks in the library and we celebrated at 2nd break with another reading from the authors of Luna Roo and a super fun scavenger hunt!

🌱 Exciting news for our school garden program! 🌱

We are proud to share that our school was successful in receiving support through the Seeds to Success initiative by the Townsville City Council.

Seeds to Success supports primary school students to connect with nature through practical learning experiences in sustainable gardening and growing local food while reducing food waste.

Through this initiative, our students will have even more opportunities to develop hands-on skills in gardening, sustainability and caring for the environment.

We are so excited to continue growing our school garden and providing meaningful learning experiences for our students. 🌿🍅🥬

A huge thank you to Townsville City Council for supporting schools and helping students grow, learn and thrive!

🌱💚 Our school garden was buzzing with excitement on Thursday 7 May as The Willows State School welcomed Natalie Marr MP and Helena De Bortoli from Pick of the Crop (POTC)! 🌿☀️

Our amazing student eco-warriors proudly showcased the wonderful produce growing in our school garden and demonstrated how to successfully plant new seedlings 🌱👏

It was fantastic to share the learning, sustainability practices and teamwork happening in our garden space, while highlighting the importance of growing healthy food and caring for our environment 🌏🍅🥬

A big thank you to our special visitors for taking the time to visit and celebrate the incredible work of our students and staff 💛💙
