What began as a blank canvas in 2024 has grown into a vibrant food room filled with achievement, creativity and confidence.

Together, teachers and learners have transformed the space into a thriving environment where practical skills, knowledge and lifelong healthy habits have flourished.

In June 2026, our first Year 11 cohort proudly completed the ASDAN FoodWise qualification, marking a significant milestone in the department's journey.

Along the way, learners have developed and practised the nationally recognised Core Competences for Food, gaining valuable skills in healthy eating, food preparation, cooking techniques, food safety, consumer awareness and active lifestyles.

Every lesson, recipe and challenge has helped our young people build independence, resilience and the confidence to make informed food choices for life. Their achievements have truly left a lasting mark on the food room and created a legacy for future generations of learners.
