Our Year 7 students have enthusiastically embraced their practical lessons, learning essential kitchen skills while whipping up some delicious creations. They’ve tackled scones, sausage rolls, and chocolate chip cookies with impressive skill. Last week, the highlight was their scrumptious homemade cookies—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and an absolute delight to eat (or share with family… if they made it home!).

Students have loved the hands-on experience and the satisfaction of creating something from scratch. It’s safe to say that the confidence levels in the kitchen are rising as fast as their baked goods!

For our Year 8 students, it’s been all about refining their techniques and tackling new challenges. They’ve revisited the kitchen with enthusiasm, taking on Chicken Burgers, Pancakes, Sushi, and now, for their latest assignment, Fried Rice!

One of the standout moments was their pancake-making session, where students adjusted ingredients to accommodate dietary needs—proving that gluten-free and dairy-free options can be just as tasty. Of course, the classic maple syrup and cream toppings were still a crowd favorite!

It has been an exciting and rewarding term so far, and we can’t wait to see what our budding chefs cook up next. Keep up the fantastic work, Year 7 and 8!
