Paddock to Plate Success!
Certificate I in Agriculture – Education Support Students

Our Agriculture Education Support students have proudly completed their Potato Paddock to Plate project at the Kiara College Farm, and what an amazing journey it has been!
Earlier last term, students planted their own potatoes, taking full responsibility for monitoring plant growth, fertilising and keeping the paddock weed-free. Their hard work paid off with a fantastic harvest!

The learning continued in the Home Economics kitchen, where students prepared a delicious variety of potato-based dishes, including:
• Potato curry
• Hash browns
• Creamy mashed potato
• Crispy chips
• Roast potatoes
The results were outstanding, enjoyed by both students and staff! A couple of class representatives plated up and personally delivered the end product to the Principal and Front Office staff.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to all students involved for your teamwork, practical skills and pride in your work. And a special thank you to the wonderful staff from each school for your guidance and support throughout this project.

From paddock to plate, what a tasty way to learn!
