Year 9 & 10 Food Technology Students Create Truffles for School Fundraiser

Our Year 9 and 10 Food Technology students kicked off the year with a sweet start—making chocolate and lemon truffles for a school fundraiser.

The first practical class was a hands-on, collaborative experience that combined cooking skills with creativity and community spirit. While mastering the technical skills took focus and patience, students also had the chance to showcase their attention to detail by attempting to make truffles consistent in size and taste.

What made this practical even more special was the purpose behind it. The truffles were created for a good cause, with the goal of raising funds for the upcoming Rome trip. Students took great pride in knowing their efforts would contribute to the school community, with some even volunteering to sell the truffles at the fundraiser.

This initial activity was all about teamwork, problem-solving, creativity and learning new skills. It was a fantastic start to the year, and we look forward to seeing how the students continue to grow in their food technology journey. A big thank you to all that were involved in this fundraiser, including all the staff and students who volunteered their time to make this fundraiser a success!
