9GTT - Garden to Table (Horticulture)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr H. McLellan, Mr C. Sheehan.

In this course, students will take an in-depth look at what is required for plants to grow through indigenous and modern scientific knowledge. Students will look at the sustainability of kitchen/gardens through a te ao Māori lens (kaitiakitanga, mana & Mauri) & their own cultural, societal, and historical lenses (turangawaewae). In our state-of-the-art Horticulture block, they will learn the practical skills to live sustainably by growing their own flowers and vegetables. This is an ideal course for all students no matter their previous experience in the garden.  

 


Pathway

This course can lead into senior Agriculture and Horticulture classes and into a career in primary industries.
