On Friday, 2^nd February 2007, we held a Whole School Assembly on the newly purchased terraced land behind the Sports’ Hall. This land, a little short of an acre in size used to belong to Hebron and it was sold for a small sum in the 1970’s. We had to buy it back for a somewhat larger sum of money in 2006-7 but it was fitting that Mr. Ian McCabe, a Hebronite, was able to unveil the commemorative plaque as it was his father-in-law who had been the Council secretary at the time of sale!

The dedication involved songs from Silverdale Dorm, a prayer by the Principal, and the unveiling of the plaque. This is inscribed as follows:

HEBRON SCHOOL

The Carrot Field

This plaque commemorates the re-purchase of the ‘Carrot Field’ (also known as ‘Susie’s Field’) in 2006-7. The acquisition of this land in the Glenrock Valley was officially marked in a School Assembly in February 2007.

The Hebron School family wishes to acknowledge the generosity of Parents, Council, Staff, Hebronites and Friends of the School worldwide who have made this purchase possible. To God be the glory.

The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good:

Genesis 1:12

DEO SUPREMO

The field will continue to live up to its name for the foreseeable future: it will be used for the organic growing of vegetables, especially carrots, for consumption in the school. There is a water source in one corner of the field, too. In the future we may use part or all of the terraced field for a grass playing surface. In the meantime the ‘carrot field’ will give us food and water and increased security on the north-eastern end of our campus.
