For the first time in St George’s Anglican Grammar School’s 10-year history, Food Technology is officially on the menu, thanks to the opening of the school’s brand-new city campus at AngliSchools House.
Equipped with 12 state-of-the-art cooking stations and high-tech learning tools such as overhead projectors and interactive displays, the new Food Technology kitchen classroom is designed for spacious, hands-on learning that combines essential culinary skills with nutritional knowledge.
Since the 441 Murray Street campus opened in July, Year 7 and 8 students have jumped straight into the essentials, from kitchen safety and hygiene to mastering knife skills with precision and care while creating winter-warming meals. And this is just the appetiser. Year 9 Food Technology will launch in 2026, followed by Year 10 in 2027, introducing more advanced recipes, sustainability projects, career pathways, and student-led culinary creations.
Head of Food Tech Ms Olivia Andrew and Food Technician Jo Ramsden also run a popular after-school co-curricular class, Food for Thought, giving students even more opportunities to explore their passion for cooking.
To share what’s cooking, St George’s features a favourite recipe in each newsletter. The latest? Quinoa Tabouleh Chicken Souvlaki. Created as part of a knife skills assessment, students chopped ingredients to a consistent size, mixed fresh salads, chargrilled the meat, and rolled up their Greek-inspired creation. Lunch is served.
