Great Things Happening with Food and Music!

GHS Chefs

A group of Year 7's and 8's chose cooking as their 5 week elective. 'Brunches' has been the topic and we have had fun following recipes, learning techniques and creating our own dishes. This week we have a chef from Sparx, Little Manly Village to taste our 'Brunch Tortilla' we have designed. Simon Roadley, owner of Sparx, not only gave 3 GHS 'chefs' the awesome opportunity to visit his restaurant kitchen, if he is impressed with it, Simon has generously offered to trial our dish on Sparx menu! Fingers crossed!!!! All our tasters so far have enjoyed it and the 'chefs' definitely have - 

here's hoping Sparx likes it too!

What's Cooking in Food Tech!

Recently Year 7/8s have been looking at technological modeling - the brief - " Design a pasta shape that will hold a sauce of medium consistency. We learnt to make our own pasta, models and prototypes and came up with some interesting shapes!

Musical Profits

Profits from this years musical production " A Kids Summer Night's Dream" by our talented Year 7's went some of the way towards the purchase and installation of these fabulous mirrors in Room 8 - Performing Arts. The Drama Elective have made the most of the mirrors, Year 1's are finding them useful in helping them prepare for their production, there are dance/movement classes happening and GleeHS are enjoying the mirrors- working towards their debut later this term.

Music from Junk.

Year 7's have been combining junk instruments with other percussion, working on creating and layering rhythms and have come up with some unique arrangements. Check out this video  with our lovely Korean students showing us their rhythmic skills. They all play orchestral instruments too so hopefully we will manage some more videos.
