The Food Technology kitchen is buzzing with excitement as students dive into their practical lessons for the year. From the very first session, the air has been filled with delicious aromas, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment as students get hands-on experience with cooking.

The Year 7s kicked things off by making the ever popular ‘Yum Yum Balls’, focusing on key kitchen skills such as safety, hygiene, and correct measurement techniques. This introduction to the kitchen helps them build confidence while learning the basics of food preparation.

Meanwhile, the Year 9s stepped up their skills by whipping up a delicious vegetable frittata, practicing knife techniques and cooking methods that emphasise nutrition and balance. Over in the Year 10 kitchens, students took on the challenge of making a flavourful beef stir-fry with brown rice, learning about cooking times, ingredient pairing, and the importance of using fresh produce.

With the perfect blend of learning and fun, students are not only gaining essential life skills but also developing a passion for cooking. Judging by the smiles on their faces—and the tempting smells wafting from the kitchen—it’s clear that Food Technology is off to a fantastic start this year!
