Deciduous trees were placed in the garden to provide shade for the classrooms of the main building during the summer and in winter they do not have leaves so that light can easily come into the rooms .  Due to these conditions, the garden is spacious.

When the lake was full its water was drained through a hole / tube set in a beautiful garden cave surrounded by flower beds and side stairs that lead us into the main garden area.

Monte Córdova , had a river named "Ribeiro dos frades", which was cleaned by friars at the time.  Along the river there were mills, the last mill wasset in the school grounds, where nowadays it is placed the regional kitchen.  The water fell into the lake, and was used to the irrigation system through out the school. It was even used in the outside farm to water the corn  "Quinta de fora" . Nowadays the mill no longer exists and the school uses the water from  "Rio Ave", to perform the same activities.
