Sustainability in Action

On Friday, Years 5 and 6 began exploring the concept of food waste. After discussing how big the problem is for Australia and the world, students began a series of cooking lessons which will help build awareness about how we can combat this waste issue in our own kitchens.

After making Greek yoghurt parfaits, Joeys were impressed by the ease of creating their treats, and also how big the food waste issue is.

“One fifth of each household’s groceries will go to food waste,” said Odette S.

“It was so easy to make!” said Zoe G.

“I loved all of the ingredients and how fresh they were,” said Lottie WB.

“You could easily swap ingredients for other things about to go off in your fruit bowl,” said Mrs. McGee.
