Stories of Change
Briershof Primary School in Alldays written by Emmanuelle Peniston
Briershof Primary School was founded in 2013 to address a serious need for alternative education in the Alldays area. “From the outset we at Briershof wanted to include an environmental education and community assistance policy in our educational approach and to date we have started many such projects within the schools activities.”
Vegetable Garden Projects
“Within the first few months of opening, we had started our own veggie garden at school which was eco friendly. The idea was to show our learners how to produce their own food while not harming the world around them . Produce from the veggie gardens would be sent home with the children and also used in our community assistance programs. We have also helped set up other veggie projects in the Alldays Community including a community veggie garden for the elderly in Alldays.”
