In Elementary School, the Outdoor Learning programme gives students meaningful ways to connect with the natural world. All grade levels spend time in the garden, where they prepare soil, care for plants, harvest produce, and save seeds. Most of this work happens in spring and summer, and we wanted to find a way to carry those skills into the winter months.

With support from the ISP Fund, we launched a small scale indoor gardening project using vertical hydroponics systems. The idea was sparked by a Grade 5 student’s PYPx Research Project and developed together with our Outdoor Learning Educator. The first trial was a great success, offering many opportunities for critical thinking, experimentation, and reflection.
The indoor farm has already sparked curiosity across grade levels and opened new opportunities for research, problem-solving, and skill development. This is just the beginning, and we look forward to growing this project further in the months ahead.
