Planting The Meriden Senior School Agricultural Learning Garden

Meriden Senior School
Meriden Senior School, Strathfield, NSW 2135, Australia
During National Science Week, Meriden students will dig into the science of growing food through starting a hands-on garden project.
Led by our Year 11 STEM Captains, students will work together to prepare the soil and plant our first seedlings. They’ll also build simple garden features and take care of the space by watering, weeding, and harvesting. This hands‑on project helps students learn real skills while working as a team.
The garden will include a special bush tucker area, where students can explore native Australian plants and showcase traditional First Nations food knowledge. It’s a great way to connect science, culture, and sustainability.
Students will investigate how plants grow, how soil supports life, and how gardens can help the environment by reducing waste and supporting biodiversity. The garden will also connect with our school’s stingless bee project, helping pollinators thrive.
With around 300 students involved, this whole‑school event will bring STEM to life through growing, experimenting, and sharing knowledge. Our garden will continue to grow beyond Science Week, creating an ongoing space for learning, curiosity, and community connections.
We look forward to seeing how science starts with a seed.
