Around the Classrooms: Visiting Year 9 Electives

Over the past few weeks, we have had the pleasure of witnessing our Year 9 students hard at work in two of their elective subjects. 

 In Food Technology, students have worked in teams, creating some yummy meals with their partners, including:

• Chicken and salad wraps
• Monte Carlo biscuits

It was great to see the students creating a variety of sweet and savoury meals using different cooking methods, in this case frying and baking.

In the Product Design and Resistant Materials classroom, the students had clearly “measured twice and cut once” in creating their serving boards. In this task, students were required to design their serving board, measure and cut the timber pieces, before glueing them together and ensuring that their finished products were of the optimal quality, all while displaying safe work practices and behaviours.

Lastly, Year 9 Camp is next week! We hope our students’ final preparations are going smoothly and we look forward to sharing some camp photos and highlights with you all in our upcoming newsletter reports.
