Home Economics – Italy Trip Highlights!

Day 2, Part 1

Our fifth and sixth year students are continuing their Italian adventure. They enjoyed a coffee roasting and tasting experience, followed by a visit to a honey and marmalade farm. They are having a fabulous time exploring local flavours and traditions. To finish the day, the group is heading to a cookery school where the girls will make gnocchi.

Day 2, Part 2

Our fifth- and sixth-year Home Economics students are having an amazing time on their Italian adventure! Today, the girls visited an olive oil factory and enjoyed tasting a variety of delicious oils. To wrap up the day, we rolled up our sleeves at Mama Lucia’s Cookery School and made our very own gnocchi — delizioso!

Day 3 – This morning the fifth and sixth year Home Economics students visited a farm to see how mozzarella is made. They watched the cheese-making process in action and enjoyed tasting fresh mozzarella with tomatoes. Later, they visited a gelateria where they helped make lemon gelato.
