Well done to the year 12 VCAL cooking class ...at Traralgon Secondary College , not one of you want a career in the food industry you just want to know how to cook ....How refreshingly honest !
So from my high moral stance on knowing the basics of cooking ...we made scones !
There were no sifters , rolling pins or wooden spoons allowed .Forbidden was lemonade , soda water , cream , sugar and eggs.
We only needed 4 ingredients on the work stations
..S.R flour , salt , milk and butter .
Along with a bowl , scales , a measuring cup and a bread knife ....
The end result was fantastic batches of scones ....
At the Traralgon Secondary College , the canteen is run by the students themselves , they make hamburgers , toasted sandwiches, sausage rolls and small pizzas . these are made fresh by the students daily. It is an amazing effort . The students do 2 x 20 minute service at morning and afternoon recess and a 20 minute service at lunchtime .
Behind the scenes they do set up in the morning , service and then clean up and prep for the next day as the students work in the canteen on a roster system .
The whole operation is overseen by "Debbie ", who emphasised her role was to help out where needed and to assist with planning and ordering .
The scones we made in class will be taken to the canteen and sold with jam and cream to staff and students .
All functions at the school are catered for by the students through the canteen .
This is a wonderful program and hopefully more schools will come on board and empower their students with life skills in a practical way.
Well done to students and teachers .
