Our Year 11 Vocational Major students supported Geelong Food Relief for their major project for Personal Development Skills in Semester 2. They wrote letters requesting donations from Coles Armstrong Creek (thanks Jonty and Lisa!) for $50 gift vouchers, one per group was all they had to budget for.

Each group was responsible for planning a meal with the rest of the class. Once the students prepared the meals, they were frozen and donated to Geelong Food Relief. Their first cooking session was at Geelong Food Relief’s North Geelong Distribution Centre (thanks Lisa!), which included a tour of the facility and then into the kitchen to prepare and package 27 pizzas.

The remaining sessions were held in the GHS cooking rooms where vegan butter chicken, spaghetti bolognese and chocolate chip cookies were cooked.

It’s been a fun and challenging project for all involved.
