With the national exams just around the corner, the Form Four Agriculture students have harvested the napier grass that they grew for their assessed project.

Over the last five months, each student had tended the plants on their 4m by 3m plot.  After a slow start the grass did really well, growing from small cuttings to plants up to 1.7m high.  Each student harvested and weighed their crop, with the most productive plot yielding 432kg.
