Each school had two Grade 4 Junior chefs in the My Healthy Plate Competition, a program designed to teach children to make healthy meal choices.
Having learnt about food groups and proportion sizes in the second term, (January – April) students had to prepare a pre-made healthy snack which was judged on competition day and take part in a live cooking competition.
The young chefs prepared a wide array of dishes that were professionally presented.
