2023 ELC - Year 4 Campus Kitchen Garden Carrot Harvest
2023 ELC - Year 4 Campus Kitchen Garden Carrot Harvest
Today, there was a hustle and bustle in the Canterbury Kitchen Garden and at our Early Learning Centre Garden.
With thousands of tiny green carrot tops swaying in the sunshine waiting to be picked.
Soon, a small flurry of small hands would dig up every single carrot as class after class swooped into our Kitchen Garden to collect as many as possible to boost the tally.
Our very busy Canterbury Chef Colin Mason informed us that the total collected was 8,677!
Bugs Bunny would be impressed!

Years 11 & 12 French Class: Crêpe Making
Years 11 & 12 French Class: Crêpe Making
Yesterday afternoon, our Years 11 and 12 French students took a short break from their exam preparations, and tried their hand at crêpe making.
Students learnt how to use the râteau à crêpes (crêpe batter spreader) and topped their creations with classic toppings - Nutella, sugar and lemon.
Délicieux!

Years 5 & 11 Ramsey House Wellbeing 'Campus Connections' Lesson | Making Cookies!
Years 5 & 11 Ramsey House Wellbeing 'Campus Connections' Lesson | Making Cookies!
Yesterday, our Years 5 and 11 Ramsey House students participated in a 'Campus Connections' lesson as part of our wider College Wellbeing Program.
Our Year 11 students had to plan and implement a lesson of their choice, to showcase the Secondary School to our Year 5 Junior School students.
Perhaps not surprisingly, their choice revolved around food!
They met up with the Year 5s at the border between the Junior and Secondary campuses, then journeyed together through the spine of our school to the 'Tech Deck'.
Under the guidance of Mrs Holly Westphal, our Ramsey Head of House, and Year 11 Hospitality student, Grace Coy, our students actually made their own cookies.
Smiles were aplenty during the lesson - especially when the flour went everywhere due to the over powered electric food mixer!
Despite our cookies needing a little more time to cook in the oven at the end of the lesson, the 'Cookie Monster' was able to deliver them to the Year 5s in time for lunch.
Thank you to the Year 5 teachers for bringing their Year 5 Ramsey students along.
Our Year 11 Ramsey students are eagerly looking forward to their next 'Campus Connections' lesson!

2023 Year 1 Fire Incursion | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
2023 Year 1 Fire Incursion | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
Yesterday, our excited Year 1 students were visited by the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.
They learnt many valuable tips about fire safety - including identifying 'good and bad' fires, the uses and importance of smoke alarms, and what to do in the event of a bad fire.
Our Year 1s were fascinated to see all the tools and gear used by our firefighters, and even got to test their strength and spray down an imaginary fire!
Thank you to these wonderful firefighters for taking time out from their busy schedules to educate our students on-site!
