Preparing healthy meals

Year 8 students have been learning about fibre and why it is an important part of a healthy diet, including how it supports digestion and helps keep our bodies working well. To put their learning into practice, they planned and prepared a chickpea curry designed to be naturally high in fibre.

Students demonstrated excellent skills in safe food preparation, knife skills, and combining flavours to create a balanced, tasty dish. The results were colourful, nutritious and full of great ingredients — and a clear example of classroom learning being applied in the kitchen.
