MCCLELLAND College students have been hard at work on a garden project.
The garden has been built by the Hands on Learning group – Hands On Learning is an in-school program for students that wish to get involved with hands on projects like gardening and landscaping administered by Save the Children.
Next year will mark the 25-year anniversary of the Hands on Learning initiative. There are groups at 140 schools along Australia’s east coast. It runs one day a week at both McClelland College and Frankston High School.
McClelland College students officially opened their new garden precinct on 31 October.
Hands on Learning head of school education engagement Cameron Wiseman said, “gardening and landscaping not only epitomise the spirit of being hands on but can lead to very real career pathways.”
