2024 Yearbook

FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Yr 9/10 Food Technology was bursting at the seams with enthusiastic students wanting to hone their skills in the kitchen! 2024 saw us begin with studying Food Inequity, coming to a greater understanding of the food crisis that is prevalent in our world. Realising this inequity exists in our own community was an important reality check for students. The highlight of our study of the Food For Special Occasions unit was a visit and demonstration by @NakedCakesByMorgan who wowed us with her knowledge and expertise in cake decorating. Morgan brought in a large cake, decorated it while chatting with students about the tips and tricks of this specialised trade. And we got to eat the fruits of her labour! Delicious!! Food For Specific Needs was our focus in Term 3 as we adapted recipes for particular dietary needs and diseases. With the Paris Olympics in full swing, a focus on the dietary needs of athletes was of interest. Students enjoyed the healthy options that were created in the kitchen and they realised that hot chips made from sweet potato did actually hit the spot! Food Trends concluded the year as students looked at diets and trends that are currently ‘in,’ along with the importance of sustainability a hot topic at the moment.

Christmas Cooking always wraps the year up, ending the year with sugar and on a high!
