St Joseph's Primary

What’s Cooking?

Throughout term 2, the students enjoyed using produce grown at school to make wonderful creations in the kitchen. One of their favourite sessions was cooking wholemeal pasta from scratch with Deb & Jacqui. Using locally grown biodynamic wheat, they ground their own flour in the noisy "mill", made pasta dough, kneaded it and cut it into fettuccine with the pasta machine.They then cooked garlic and herbs from our garden for a sauce and devoured the lot! A wonderful example of how food gets from ‘paddock to plate’.

Autumn the Therapy Dog

We are very fortunate to have Autumn, the therapy dog as part of our school community. Each Thursday, Autumn comes to visit with her ownerour wellbeing officer, Deb. Autumn patiently listens to our students' thoughts or worries & also often listens to them read. She also helps our students understand how to appropriately treat and care for dogs.
