Friday Club Spotlight - Cooking with Mrs Hodges and Mrs Payne

Cooking Club at PVS aims to support and teach students basic cooking skills. Students learn how to safely use cooking utensils, read recipes, and prepare and bake healthy foods. Through these activities, they also learn about the importance of nutrition and making healthy food choices.

Cooking Club encourages students to develop important life skills such as patience, respect, taking turns, and working together. Students also learn the importance of keeping their cooking space clean and organised while preparing food.

Students are given the opportunity to share their ideas about what they would like to cook in the following week or later in the term. This may include their favourite foods, dishes they make at home with their families, or foods from their culture.

So far this term, students have made pizzas, a variety of sandwiches, and pancakes. Moving forward, they will be making healthy muffins as well as Indonesian, Italian, Australian, and Indian dishes that students have requested to celebrate Harmony Week.
