As the Aquaponics system has been such a success, the teachers are being trained on how to look after the fish tank. Cameron’s Dad knows a lot about fish and he is helping to look after the fish. First he will train the teachers how to care for the Aquaponics System and then the teachers will set up a timetable and teach the children how to care for the fish, maintain the tank and grow the plants! We are really looking forward to it!
New Aquaponics system
Today we got a new Aquaponics system for the school. It is very large and has 3 different chambers which are all connected. We have lots of fish including some from China and Australia. The system was funded by the Parents Council and students and staff will look after the tank by monitoring the pH and iron levels. We will hopefully be able to use some of the plants and vegetables in our cookery classes in the coming months. Keep an eye on our blog to see how the Aquaponics system is going!
