In term 3 many Year 7 students have been busy applying fine motor skills to making insulated potholders using cross-stitch and blanket stitch. They have finally had a start in the kitchen and, along with learning about safety in the kitchen, have so far made a fruit smoothie and French toast.

Year 8 students have made a variety of foods this term including butterscotch scrolls and pasta carbonara which was a huge favourite. They have also been learning definitions of kitchen related terms which they are becoming more familiar with. Their skills in the kitchen are definitely improving.

The Year 9/10 Hospitality class was set a challenge where they had to find a recipe that incorporated a type of pastry. They were judged on technical difficulty, taste and presentation and there were some amazing results from chocolate eclairs with a student made choux pastry to several variations of both sweet and savoury treats. Well done to all the students.

The 9/10 Foods have been continuing their culinary journey around the world, including stopping off in Italy for some pizza and a calzone, over to the US for some Mac and Cheese with spinach, ham and tomato, into France for some Chicken cordon blue and, of course, back home for some Anzac sandwich biscuits. It’s certainly been an interesting journey so far.
