Year 11 Food Science – Healthy Eating and Healthy Lunches 🥗🌯🍋
Over the past four weeks, Year 11 Food Science students have been learning about healthy eating and creating nutritious lunch options 🥗.
As part of their studies, they have prepared a range of healthy wraps, including high-fibre, high-protein, low-fat, and vegan varieties 🌯💪🥬.
As a special treat to celebrate their hard work 🎉, students had the opportunity to create a delicious Lemon Meringue Cream Dessert 🍋🍰.
To make the dessert even more special, students enjoyed using fresh passionfruit harvested from our school garden 🌿🍈.
The combination of tangy lemon, sweet meringue, and home-grown passionfruit resulted in a delightful dessert that students thoroughly enjoyed making and tasting 😋✨.
A big thank you 🙏 to our dedicated gardeners 🌱 for growing and sharing the delicious passionfruit. Your efforts helped make this practical lesson a memorable experience for our students 👏.

🌟 Year 11–12 Children, Family and Community (CFC) Care Package Project 🌟
Year 11–12 Children, Family and Community students recently completed a Care Package assessment task in support of Palmerston's KAREBA House Women's Refuge 💜.
This project provided students with an opportunity to give back to the local community and support women and families experiencing homelessness or escaping domestic and family violence 🤝.
As part of the project, students prepared a total of 50 nutritious meals 🍽️, including a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
The menu featured Butter Chicken with Rice 🍛, Spaghetti Bolognese 🍝, and a colourful Vegetarian Rainbow Rice 🌈 packed with flavour and healthy ingredients.
Students also designed and created professional food labels 🏷️ for each care package, ensuring that ingredients, meal names, and storage instructions were clearly displayed ✅. This helped students develop their food preparation, packaging, and food safety skills while creating a polished final product 👏.
We were delighted to welcome Ms Kerry Arundel to our CFC class today 😊 to receive the care packages on behalf of KAREBA House.
Students were proud to contribute to such a meaningful cause and appreciated the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others within our community ❤️.
A big thank you to Ms Arundel for visiting our class 🙏 and to our students for their hard work, generosity, and compassion throughout this project 💕. Their dedication and teamwork have made a valuable contribution to our local community 🌍.

YUM!!!
🚑 Year 10 P.A.R.T.Y Program Incursion 🚑
Yesterday, our Year 10 students participated in the P.A.R.T.Y. Program, an immersive and interactive injury prevention experience delivered by community health professionals.
This powerful program gives students a real insight into the challenging and often confronting journey of a trauma patient following serious injury.
💬 The aim?
To empower young people to make safer choices by highlighting the risks associated with:
• Alcohol and drug use
• Risky behaviours
• Unsafe decision-making
Programs like this play an important role in helping our students understand the real-life consequences of their actions and encouraging them to keep themselves and others safe.
For more information about the program, visit the Royal Perth Hospital – P.A.R.T.Y. Program.
👏 A big thank you to the health professionals for delivering this impactful session for our students!
A great opportunity for the students to see what the Emergency Services do.
What a great initiative! Thank you to Elise and Ionie and the other emergency services crews for presenting this information in an age appropriate way. We had lots of conversation about the day at home last night.
🎵 NOW SOUNDS RETURNS TO KATANNING SHS! 🎵
We are excited to welcome the Now Sounds team back to Katanning SHS on Tuesday 23 June for their fourth residency with our students.
Throughout the day, participating students will continue developing their creative skills through music recording, songwriting, photography and visual arts workshops. Students have already explored a range of artistic experiences during previous residencies, including charcoal art, photography and vocal recording sessions.
After school, students will have another opportunity to work alongside professional artists and musicians, with students from Follow the Dream and Bushrangers also invited to participate.
The Now Sounds program provides a fantastic opportunity for young people to build confidence, develop new skills, express their creativity and connect with others through the arts.
We look forward to seeing what our talented students create during this next exciting stage of the project!
