The Food Technology space at CRCCS is always buzzing with energy, learning, and the amazing smells drifting down the hallway. Our goal is simple: to create a welcoming, inclusive space where students feel confident in the kitchen and leave with skills they’ll genuinely use for life.

The recipes we cook are drawn from a wide range of cultures and cuisines, because food is one of the best ways to learn about the world and each other. We’re also very mindful that food intolerances and allergies should never stop anyone from learning these critical life skills. With a little planning and a lot of care, every student can be involved and successful.

Our Food Technology team includes Nicole Croft, Nicole Evans, and me, each bringing our own strengths, creativity, and passion into the kitchen. We’re incredibly lucky to be supported by the wonderful Fay Ghazi, our Food Technician, who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything is organised, prepared, and good to go before each class even begins.

Spread across three kitchens, our program continues to grow, with Year 9 and 10 students especially excited to work in the state-of-the-art kitchens located in the Sacred Heart Building. These spaces allow students to collaborate, challenge themselves, and take pride in their work.

We can’t promise that many samples of our recipes will make it home, but we can promise that every dish comes with learning, confidence, and a story. Food Technology at CRCCS is about so much more than cooking; it’s about connection, culture, and building skills that last well beyond the classroom.
