Question 1
6 marksExplain three measures that would ensure a school kitchen garden project continues to benefit the community after the Grade 10 class has left.
(6 marks)
Marking scheme
Any THREE, 2 marks each (1 for the measure, 1 for the explanation of how it keeps the project going): - Train and hand over to a committee of junior learners, parents or a community group, with clear duties, so that watering, weeding and harvesting continue. - Use low-cost, locally available inputs such as manure, drought-tolerant vegetables and drip lines made from used bottles, so that the running costs stay within reach. - Leave simple written guidelines and a maintenance timetable, so that those taking over know what to do and when. - Sell the surplus produce and keep the money in a project account, so that seeds and repairs are paid for. - Involve the school administration and the community from the start, so that they feel ownership and protect the garden. Max 6 marks.

(5 marks)
Marking scheme
- Objective (2 marks): 1 mark for a relevant action clearly stated, 1 mark for a quantity and a closing date. For example: "To cut the plastic litter lying at the market by half by placing four litter bins and holding a weekly clean-up with the traders between March and June." - Features, any THREE, 1 mark each, and each must be tied to the objective the candidate has written: * Specific: it names exactly what will be done and where. * Measurable: it gives a quantity that can be counted (half the litter, four bins, weekly clean-ups). * Achievable: it is within the time, funds and labour the class has. * Relevant: it addresses the litter problem the class identified. * Time bound: it gives a closing date (end of June). Max 5 marks.
