Year 12 Food & Hospitality Students Explore Multicultural Flavours at Adelaide Central Market
As part of their ongoing studies in Food and Hospitality, our Year 12 students recently embarked on a vibrant and flavour-filled excursion to the iconic Adelaide Central Market. This visit offered an exciting opportunity to explore one of Australia’s most celebrated culinary destinations and experience the rich diversity of multicultural cuisine first-hand.
The trip formed a key part of their curriculum focus on cultural influences in food and hospitality. The visit helped deepen their understanding of how multicultural influences shape Australia’s dynamic food industry and provided real-world context for classroom discussions on food trends, service styles and cultural sensitivity in hospitality settings. Highlights included exploring the Asian Grocer to shop for ingredients for their upcoming cooking practical as well as sharing a meal in China town.
Year 12 Child Studies Students Teach Balaklava Primary Students About Healthy Eating and Kitchen Safety
Last term Year 12 Child Studies class had the opportunity to collaborate with Room 6 from the Balaklava Primary School in a fun and educational session focusing on healthy eating and kitchen safety.
As part of the Year 12 Child Studies curriculum, the senior students planned and delivered an age-appropriate cooking lesson for the younger students. With a focus on encouraging healthy food choices and promoting basic kitchen safety rules, the lesson gave both groups a valuable learning experience.
The Year 12 students designed a recipe which allowed the students to learn about healthy foods and how to prepare foods safety in the kitchen. Topics covered included recognising nutritious foods, washing hands properly before cooking and how to stay safe when using basic kitchen equipment.
Not only was this a chance for our Child Studies students to demonstrate their leadership and communication skills, but it also strengthened the connection between the secondary and primary schools within our community.
We are proud of our Year 12 students for their professionalism, enthusiasm and ability to work so effectively with younger learners. Well done to everyone involved!
