Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School
Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School will introduce beehives into its already highly successful Eco Garden program. By integrating beekeeping, the school aims to deepen students' connection with nature while significantly enhancing garden productivity and biodiversity.
This initiative will serve as a model for sustainability-focused education while also providing direct benefits to the school community. Honey harvested from the hives will be processed, jarred, and either sold, shared, or used within the cafe and other school programs.

As part of our Vocational Learning (VL) program, students are given the opportunity to combine educational and practical skills to become employment ready.
Due to barriers with fine motor skills, a Thermomix would significantly benefit our students.
Two of our VL programs are a school-based Eco Garden and Cafe.
The Eco Garden and Cafe programs are run by the staff and students.
All produce from the Eco Garden is harvested and used in cafe cooking.
Within these programs students undertake a number of tasks to help build skills of everyday living. As part of our school, we aim to provide an inclusive and engaging environment.
A Thermomix will help to accommodate and embed the inclusive and engaging environment for our students that we pride ourselves on.
