Local is Lovely!

At the end of Term 4 Year 7 PDHPE students completed their unit on Local, Healthy Foods. Within this topic they have explored food trends, the concept of Paddock to Plate and the 100-mile diet. Their assessment task required them to investigate opportunities to buy local here in Orange and to design a 3-course meal showcasing local produce.

In late Term 3 the students planted seedlings in our market garden beds and then harvested these in Term 4. In our newly established outdoor classroom they used their  harvested bounty together with our homegrown eggs and bacon to cook up a class meal. Thumbs up all round!
