Come and see our senior students walk the red carpet
The Year 9 and 10 Foods Group have been busy exploring the production of 'Dough' based products in our 'Show Me the Dough' Topic. So far they have created some very impressive loaves of bread, cookies and pastries. Dough is so versatile.
Students experienced the opportunity to look at the technology involved in the Fonterra trucking logistics side of the business. They were exposed to all the technology that is in both the truck and the associated computers they run. Students were encouraged to get in and look at how these vehicles are operated. Thank you to Fonterra Manager Robert McCoid for visiting us at Opihi College!
