This term our Upper and Senior Primary classes will be engaging in a variety of cooking experiences. They will be participating in a five week cooking block, where they will be learning a variety essential life skills.

Our students will be learning about nutrition, food safety and allergy awareness within the kitchen. On top of those skills, students will also be  building on their maths, science, literacy and fine motor skills. We aim to encourage students  interest and excitement in healthy foods, by teaching them how to cook safely, on a moderate budget. 

The most exciting aspect of this unit of work, will be working alongside students to help give back to our community. Each week the children will be able to taste a sample of their cooking and then together, help package up any left over food for the schools community freezer. A freezer that gives back to those in need. Our students will be learning first hand why it is important to give back to our community, and will be able to feel a great sense of purpose when doing so.  

If you know of someone within the community who may be doing it tough and would appreciate a few meals, please reach out to the school. Please note, we are happy for the person to remain anonymous, we are just happy to help where we can.
