30th May was a big day on the calendar for the elements course Food lovers Guide to Culture. It was the first time the class run a world food festival, to celebrate all the different world cultures they had been learning about. Students worked in teams to prepare one dish from one region and all these dishes were later added to the buffet which served teachers and students at lunch time on the Tai Wai campus. Mr Burrough’s photography class came down to take photographs of the teams at work and also their final dishes. The festival was a great success and students received very positive feedback from visiting officials from ESF and Mr Loggie.
Well done to all students in Food lovers Guide to Culture and Mr Burrough and his Photography class who all helped to make this event a success.
