On Wednesday we got busy in the student kitchen making ANZAC biscuits. The Anzac biscuit is a sweet biscuit, popular in Australia and New Zealand, made using rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda and desiccated coconut.
Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps established in World War I. The biscuits were sent by wives and women’s groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during transportation.
Alessia, Mano and Juliane having fun getting ready to bake! Also very excited about another public holiday for ANZAC day on Thursday!
INGREDIENTS
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup golden syrup
125g butter
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
METHOD
Preheat oven to 160°C.
Place the oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a bowl and mix to combine.
Melt the butter and golden syrup together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
Combine the bicarb soda with the water and then add to the butter mixture.
Pour butter mixture into the oat mixture, and mix together until well combined.
Place a large spoonful of the mixture onto baking trays lined with baking paper. Flatten to 7cm rounds and make sure there is room between each cookie for them to spread while baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden in colour.
Allow to cool on baking trays for 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy this tasty Australian treat!!

The Easter celebrations continue with more tasty treats <3
In our Easter Baking activity this week we made Chocolate Brownie with an Easter Twist and Easter Nests! We were also lucky enough to be gifted some lamingtons from our friend Alfred – the Bike Man.
To make the Easter Nests, we first melted chocolate in a bowl and added butter and golden syrup. We then combined the cornflakes to the bowl and mixed until the chocolate covered the cornflakes. It was now time to create the nests. Using a spoon we filled a paper cupcake case with the mixture and added decorations before putting in the fridge to set.
For the Easter Brownie we followed this recipe:
Brownie Recipe:
Ingredients
125 g butter
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup plain flour
Recipe
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
Stir in sugar, cocoa, vanilla and salt.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Quickly whisk in eggs.
Fold through sifted flour.
Spoon the mixture into a greased and lined 18 x 28cm slab tin.
Bake at 170C for 25-30 minutes.
The mixture will seem soft but will harden on cooling.
Allow to cool in tin before removing.
For the Easter twist, we took the brownie out of the oven after 20/25 minutes and pushed chocolate eggs into it and baked it for a further 5 minutes so they could melt into the brownie! Delicious!
Our creations turned out amazing!! Well done everyone.
Happy Easter and enjoy the long weekend!!

Today we had the perfect Friday afternoon activity… BEER TASTING!
We had 6 different beers to taste…
Amanda Mandarin IPA
Fixation IPA
Tooheys Old Dark Ale
Stone & Wood Green Coast Lager
Koscuiszko Pale Ale
Stone & Wood Paccific Ale
The students had to take note of what flavours they could taste and guess where each beer was brewed. We also tried to guess what the alcohol percentage was and the price per bottle.
All of the beer we sampled was from Australia! Everyone guessed mostly correct, except the Koscuiszko Pale Ale, as the label has a snowy mountain and we agreed that the name does not sound very Australian!
Byron Bay’s Stone & Wood beer was a crowd favourite – especially the Pacific Ale!
Cheers everyone, thanks for a fun Friday afternoon 🙂

Yesterday we all met in the student lounge for our Jewellery Making activity. We had a range of different beads and shells to choose from. Everyone could get as creative as they liked but I gave them some tips and ideas to help them too.
Thanks to Kristy for the egg boxes! They were perfect for separating the beads 😉
This was the sliding adjustable knot I showed them how to make.
We made a range of bracelets, anklets and necklaces!
Check out these beautiful pieces!

Our free activity for today was Jewellery Making!!
We gathered in the student lounge to get creative with a collection of beads, shells, stones and old miscellaneous pieces of jewellery. We had a lot to work with, the fun part was deciding what to create. Here we are in action..
Everyone got stuck in and came up with some beautiful, unique designs.
Carina’s lovely necklace
Hongky’s colourful and fun necklace
Juliane’s beautiful shell necklace

This morning we were making everyone’s favourite – pizza! 😀
Ingredients:
Capsicum/red pepper
Tomatoes
Onion
Spinach
Mushrooms
Ham
Shredded Mozzarella
Tomato pizza sauce
Pizza base
Everyone split into groups and we made six pizzas in total. Each group chopped and prepared their own ingredients and ‘decorated’ their pizzas as best they could while the oven was heating up. Then it was only 15 minutes to cook them!
See the creative results before they hit the oven!
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Fresh from the oven!
And the delicious results – SO GOOD, they even got teacher Serena’s approval!! 😀
