Through ​the ‘Garden to Table’ programme Whakamarama School aims to teach our learners the essential skills they need to be food-resilient. We wish to see our learners enthusiastically getting their hands dirty and learning how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food. Our purpose, along with the ‘Garden to Table’ programme, is to empower our children with a love of good, fresh food and the skills they need to grow and prepare it; that will have a transformative and lifelong impact on their health and wellbeing.

Our Garden to Table programme commenced with our learners on Wednesday 26th May. WOW! What an amazing start.


The garden and the kitchen hummed with motivation, engagement and interest from our Room 2 learners (trial class). From the mahi came the kai! Feijoa cordial, herb scones and salad surprise - mmmmm! We look forward to bringing this programme to life across all our classrooms.

The success of the programme comes from our volunteers: Tēnā rawa atu koutou Alison, Margaret, Kylie O, Amber and Frank 😊 You were awesome caring for the development of our learners.

We had a great turn out of helpers for our working bee on Thursday 25th March 2021. Thanks to everyone who worked alongside the staff from Tui and our children - the resulting gardens look fantastic and will be an asset for our learners and teachers to use for many years to come. We were all pretty impressed with how the gardens turned out.
