Just £5 would enable Sister Grace Ismail, the school nurse, to purchase seedlings which pupils belonging to her Environment Clubs can plant and care for. The produce is used for nutritious school meals or by those learning to cook on the Hotel and Catering Management Course. The school vegetable gardens are sponsored by Andrew Smith of Environmental Impact Management Services in Pretoria who have provided shade netting, tools and other equipment over a number of years. Irrigation is maintained over the school holidays by a team of community workers. It is a low tech scheme that has a big impact with many learners taking up an interest in gardening.
