One of the few practical subjects in Year 9 is Baking By Design. Students learn to understand how to work safely and hygienically in the kitchen by completing weekly cooking classes. They watch a demonstration of the recipe and replicate the process within the time of a lesson. The recipes slowly build up their cooking skills but more importantly raises their confidence in the kitchen. Recipes vary each week and students are expected to work co-operatively together to complete recipes and clean up their workspaces. Baking By Design is great way for students to experience working productively in the kitchen and possibly study VET Hospitality to allow them to be a future master chef rather than just watching it on TV.
