Last year, three of our students had the idea to replace the mud kitchen, as it was deteriorating and needed a bit of an upgrade. It went from an idea to a fundraising and construction challenge for students, P&C and the local community. We have ended up with not one but two mud kitchens as a result! The smaller of the two was built and donated by the Salamander Bay Men's Shed. The second started as a secondhand purchase by the P&C, progressed to an upgrade by a generous local community member Kirra Gill, and the finishing touches were added by the Harrison and Knight Families. 

We held an 'official' unveiling recently with many squeals of delight heard throughout the playground. The kitchen, complete with drive-through and active plumbing, did a short stint of 'business' before a temporary shutdown due to an uninvited, unexpected slithery customer. 🐍 

When Hodgy returns to action this week after his recent USA tour-of-duty, we will revamp the kitchen area to be more student and less reptile-friendly, and then we can resume operations. 🍪🥗🥙🥤🧃 

We want to say a HUGE thank you to the Men's Shed, our P&C, our community members and most importantly, our fabulous, proactive student leaders who put their ideas into action for the benefit of students for years to come!
