Year 9/10 Food Technology students spent the day learning all things cake decorating, practising different techniques, getting creative and ending the day with some very impressive cakes!

Thank you to Mrs Denny who shared her knowledge, tips, and tricks.

They’ll now put their new skills into action for their ‘Show-stopping Cake’ Assessment Practical.

👀 Keep an eye out for their assessment cakes coming soon! 🎂✨

'Write a Book in a Day' is an Australian wide competition with the goal to write and illustrate a children's chapter book (between 3500 and 5000 words) in 12 hours. Today, two teams of CHS students are spending the day writing their books. These books will be accessible by children in hospitals around Australia. All money raised goes towards 'The Kids Cancer Project'.
