HHD Queen Victoria Market Food Excursion

Late last term, the Year 11 HHD students ventured to the Queen Victoria Market to undertake some research about challenges relating to their Food and Nutrition unit. Students participated in an Amazing Race style challenge around the market, learning about functions and food sources of major nutrients, food models in Australia and how these can be used to promote healthy eating and the consequences of nutritional imbalance on our overall health and wellbeing. The winning group scored some hot jam doughnuts which they thoroughly enjoyed. Following this, the students completed a ‘fast food’ audit of Melbourne Central to assess the marketing strategies and tactics used to promote unhealthier food options. It was a great, sunny day out and the students did an amazing job!
