TASTE Budds Cooking Studio and Cyril Jackson Senior Campus are delivering a pilot program of teaching a group of students from the SAER (Students at Educational Risk). This modified program incorporates the National Curriculum “Life Skills modules”.
This Pilot Program will demonstrate how home cooking skills and food knowledge can be brought into schools to support the current curriculum.
Cyril Jackson High School is a learning institution for years 11 & 12 that promotes independent learning and focuses on academic success through their flexible approach in a mature learning environment.
Sophie Budd of Taste Budds Cooking Studio encompasses not only all things to do with good tasty food but a social conscience with food issues, from cooking lessons for children to food appreciation and hands on cooking classes to long table lunches.
Slow Food Perth is a bronze donor of this ten week pilot program. The program includes such things as development of skills in the kitchen, knowledge of food, garden awareness, cooking skills, health components in food, visits to food outlets, budget shopping and healthy dishes that will feed them for two days. A big thank you to all those Slow Food Perth members and friends who help us achieve our ability to donate to such worthwhile causes.
