🍽️🔥 Year 10 Cook Up a Storm in the New Food Room!

This week marked an exciting milestone for our Year 10 students as they stepped into their brand-new Food Technology room for their first practical and what a delicious start it’s been!

Thanks to their new double slot on the timetable, students had the time to really focus on their cooking, experiment with flavours, and build confidence.

The theme? Tenderising tough cuts of meat with mince as the star ingredient. From Lasagne to Bolognese, Meatballs, Burgers, Chilli, and Rice dishes, the creativity was off the charts and the aromas were mouth-watering! 🌶️🧅🧄

🗣️ Our talented linguists chimed in with “Vive la résistance!”
🚀 And of course, our media-savvy creatives couldn’t resist a nod to the Borg: “Resistance is futile!”
