"Once a week, students from Years 3-6 spend an hour in the regional Victorian school’s kitchen garden, learning how to grow things.

The next week they spend 90 minutes in the adjacent purpose-built kitchen, learning how to cook what they’ve grown. And then they all sit down to share a meal, learning a skill increasingly under threat in the modern era: how to eat.
