Our Hydroponics (Vegetable cultivation) students had an amazing time at the Farmers Market Day in Protea Glen (Protea Glen Mall) yesterday! 🍆🥬🥕

It was such a proud moment seeing them confidently showcase and sell their fresh produce to the community. From farm to market, they experienced first-hand what it means to grow, prepare, market, and engage with customers.

Opportunities like these give our students real-world exposure, build entrepreneurial skills, and boost their confidence. This is what skills development in action looks like.

We are incredibly proud of our future agri-preneurs! 💚
