During ‘Food’ classes, students learn all about basic food hygiene and different food preparation techniques in our school Kitchen.

Students from Year 3-6 attend classes for an hour each week where they are taught how to follow a recipe, prepare food and clean up. Dietary and cultural considerations are catered for as much as possible, to allow all students to participate. Students are encouraged to take their food home to share with their family. Some students also get the chance to grow and harvest food from our vegetable garden.

Karen has enjoyed teaching at Wallan Primary for 24 years, but it’s only recently that she’s been able to combine her passion for cooking with her career. With the support of leadership and a large, custom-built kitchen, she’s developed an education-based food program that is super-popular with our Years 3 to 6 students.
