This is Your Body

Student Cook-along

In Term 3, students were offered an opportunity to participate in a cooking class, delivered by Angelica Pupillo of ‘This is your Body’. Angelica is a Nutritionist who has a passion for empowering young people to understand their body’s nutritional needs and recognise the relationship between gut health and mental health. University High School have partnered with ‘This is your Body’ for a couple of years now, and Angelica has delivered staff and parent information sessions about how we can better support our students to talk about food and bodies, and to celebrate our uniqueness. 

Students from Year 8 to Year 11 came together to learn about body image and the influence of social media on how we view ours and others’ bodies. Students then worked in pairs to make a delicious and healthy chocolate granola recipe to take home.
