TOONGABBIE Primary School has put a trio of grants to use to update the school The primary school had three grant applications accepted after principal Alison Stewart applied for them The biggest grant to be accepted was one for building upgrades which the school decided to re-do the basketball courts with transforming them into a massive multi-sport area The build for this process took longer than originally expected it was finally completed ahead for the 2023 school year and soon they can add volleyball and badminton to that list “The kids love it,” Ms Stewart said This new upgrade has been a major hit with the students exclaiming the importance for kids to get outside and enjoy sports and outdoor activities which allowed the school to install a new outdoor learning space It only took around eight months for the shade sails to be installed after the school received the money from the grant This was originally a troubled area of the school the students would get drenched on their way to the bathrooms especially in summer,” Ms Stewart said “Classes go out and sit out there too.” allowing the school to operate after-school care for kids that had to wait to be collected from school or kids that wanted extra time for homework Toongabbie Primary School was able to begin this program almost immediately as the grant covers the running costs of the program “We found a provider … they manage all of the business stuff and we just ask for the wages and running costs,” Ms Stewart said “I think there’s about eight to 10 kids … some of them come multiple times “There’s probably about an average of four kids a night (attending after school care) currently “We’re about to trial our first holiday program … parents are asking for that parents are looking for at least one week of the school holidays.” with the added hopes of the program can continue in the future after the grant expires Students can stay on campus until around 6pm nurturing environment until they are ready to be picked up The after-school care program has helped to attract new families to the school with one new student to start soon to take the student population to 67 Something that many people may had noticed first was the fresh lick of paint that was splashed on the buildings now representing the school’s colours “When we first got the school painted over the summer but now it actually is the green of our shirts,” Ms Stewart said and every building had a different shade on it Other improvements that the school will soon see is the installation of the new outdoor undercover

the community and I hope that this grant is the first of many things I can help with,” Mr McDermott said Fr Joby said that Mr McDermott assured his support and readiness to help the parish in its

The students from Toongabbie Primary School, in Gippsland, grow vegetables, herbs and flowers as part of a sustainability program, coordinated by parents and teachers. But the primary school has struck up an unlikely partnership with two local pubs to supply micro herbs and edible flowers. Micro herbs, also known as baby greens, are used as garnish in meals or as an ingredient. Students from Toongabbie Primary School hold up micro herbs they have grown. (ABC Rural: Bridget Fitagerald) Toongabbie Primary School parent Bronwyn Manly works at nearby gastro pub, the Tinamba Hotel, and she said the idea came from a conversation she had with head chef Daniel Keck. "He mentioned how micro herbs could be an amazing thing we could supply to them, along with edible flowers," she said. The Toongabbie students now supply the Tinamba Hotel and the Criterion Hotel in Sale. Another parent, Brigette Veneman, said the children love the gardening program. "I think the kids just love seeing that things can grow just from a tiny seed," she said. Ms Veneman said gardening and supplying the local pubs with food helped the students understand where food came from. "Just to understand that veggies don't just come from the supermarket."

"You put some dirt in and you sprinkle some seeds on top," he said. "And then you cover it with dirt and then you water it every day." Damien Gannon is the part owner of the Tinamba Hotel and has been sourcing micro herbs and edible flowers from Toongabbie Primary School for several weeks. The money raised from the sale of produce to the pubs goes back into school programs and primarily funds further gardening projects. Micro red garnet herb used in cooking. (ABC Rural: Bridget Fitzgerald) Mr Gannon said the partnership benefited his business, as well as the school. "It's great to know where your food is coming from."
