The Year 8 students have been busy in their Technology Main Lesson for the past three weeks. They have been working at the School Farm studying Agriculture and Food Technology, as well as learning about sustainable practices in Materials Technology.
The students have recycled and repurposed a range of materials to construct a Flow Form and a Black Fly larvae composter that uses natural processes to turn the organic waste from the School into compost. The Flow Form is a series of concrete forms that allows water to cascade down from one to the other to oxygenate and energise the water for biodynamic preparations to be used on the Farm.
