Hi  and greetings to your all from the Cooking room.   We are coming to the end of a very hectic term and it is nice to say that the profiles are completed and this has given us the opportunity of show casing lots of positive comments illustrating your students efforts.

This last cycle has seen most students make a Christmas Wreath to cover the curriculum in cultural and festive foods.

Greetings to all,

The term is racing along and we have so much we want to achieve in the next few weeks.   Year 8 students are back and keen to get going again.  Some students need to brush up on techniques and listening skills however the majority are on the ball and keen to demonstrate the skills they already have.

Last week we had the Havelock  North Exchange Programme and in the Home Economics Room we had a group of eager students who came very well prepared.

This has been a busy term for the Year 7's completing a unit on "The Healthy Lunchbox". We have concentrated on a number of recipes that do not replace sandwitches and bread rolls but offer some tasty alternatives to give added intrest to the lunchbox. A healthy focus has also encouraged students to think about body needs at their given age and the importance of reading labels to make informed choices.
