Welcome, We have created this book to showcase our wonderful Home Economics students creativity and their talents. Our classes have enjoyed baking and cooking healthy meals for themselves and their families. They are learning to be sustainable in relation to daily life. We have included some recipes and photos of their work. Our students study many key areas of learning. But most importantly, we hope that Home Economics teaches our students the skills to be healthy and happy. Ms Butler, Ms Mc Granaghan
