The Tomato Festival is on NOW!

Tomato Festival

It has become a tradition in recent years to run an annual Tomato Festival at Stanmore Public School.

Our kitchen classroom teacher, Ms Dimitra, prides herself on only using the best produce to create her delicious dishes with the students sourcing most fresh veggies from our own Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden.

Passata is a common ingredient and, instead of buying jar sauce, Ms Dimitra prefers to make her own with the students using Cornersmith’s Tomato Passata recipe.

We ask families to donate juicy ripe tomatoes to the Kitchen which students turn into passata to use in kitchen classes throughout the year.

Please donate juicy ripe tomatoes

If you find some cheap, lusciously ripe tomatoes, they’re perfect for Pasatta! Please grab a few extra to donate.

Students can leave donations in the baskets outside the Kitchen any day from now until Thursday, 6 March.

Last year was such a bumper year - over 80kg donated - that we didn’t have to buy any canned tomatoes for Kitchen classes. Our students cooked with passata they made and bottled themselves, and they are still licking their lips!

Tuesday, 18 February – Thursday, 6 March

Students will be chopping, pureeing and bottling away in weeks 3, 4 & 5 (Tue, 18 Feb - Thu, 6 Mar) making our very own Tomato Passata.
