Year 8 students this term will complete a unit on menu planning with an emphasis on meals that give healthy options to meet their growing needs.   We relate this work to when they are given more independence in the home kitchen and when they eventually go flatting.

We will be preparing entree,main and dessert courses to give experience and demonstrate the planning of healthy, cost effective meals using the foods available to them.

The ever popular 'Packaging Unit' is a great vehicle for getting the students attention and creating comparisons for student assessment.  Making healthy choices is their  mandate.

Options this term sees us making dishes from other countries around the world , gaining experience and understanding the food choices of other cultures.
