Pakenham Secondary College students grew and donated fresh produce to Pakenham charity Four Cs on Wednesday.Students in the environmental science class worked closely with Chris Saray from The Food Security Network during semester one.

This week, the students finally got to harvest the herbs and leafy greens that they have been growing.

A group of Grade 5 and 6 students from Pakenham Consolidated School’s Hands on Learning group joined in and helped with the harvesting, bundling and packing of the produce.

The environmental class hand delivered the produce to the manager of the Four C’s Cheryl, who was extremely grateful for such fresh, organically grown produce.
