Melton Year 12 Food Studies

Our Year 12 Food Studies class at Melton Campus has been learning about nutritional requirements during different stages of life, focusing this week on adolescents.

Students considered the need for increased energy, the importance of macronutrients, and key vitamins and minerals during this stage of growth and development.

As part of their practical learning, students designed and prepared a balanced breakfast to ensure young people arrive at school well-fuelled for the day ahead.

Each breakfast was planned to include appropriate macronutrients, carbohydrates for sustained energy, protein for growth and repair, and healthy fats to support brain function whilst at school.

The goal was to create a meal that not only met nutritional requirements but also kept students feeling satisfied and engaged throughout the morning whilst preparing for their upcoming SAC.
