Food Technology

Highlights! 🍽️

It has been a fantastic start to the term in Food Technology, with our Year 8 and Year 9 students developing their cooking skills, confidence, and teamwork in the kitchen.

Our Year 8 students have been learning the fundamentals of food preparation, kitchen safety, and hygiene while cooking a range of delicious recipes. They have shown great enthusiasm as they practise essential skills such as measuring ingredients, following recipes, and working cooperatively with their classmates. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow with each practical lesson.

Meanwhile, our Year 9 students have been exploring how to read recipes, use accurate measurements, maintain good hygiene, understand kitchen expectations, and take on exciting cooking challenges. As they continue developing more advanced cooking techniques, they are preparing themselves for an upcoming MasterChef competition! Their creativity and willingness to challenge themselves in the kitchen have been impressive.

Throughout the term, both Year 8 and Year 9 students will have the opportunity to earn Kitchen Skills Certificates in recognition of the practical skills they demonstrate in the kitchen. Keep an eye out for these certificates coming home and be sure to ask your child to show you theirs and celebrate their achievements as they build confidence and independence in Food Technology.

We are incredibly proud of the respect, teamwork, and resilience our students demonstrate during practical classes. We look forward to seeing them continue to build their skills and enjoy many more delicious creations throughout the rest of the year!
