Bread Chips Cooking Experience. One of the biggest highlights this fortnight was making bread chips! The children absolutely loved thiscooking experience and kept asking for more and more. It was wonderful to see their excitement and engagement while participating in food preparation and tasting experiences.

The children are helping to plan meaningful experiences and discussions to recognise the importance of reconciliation and respect within our community.
