Let's Get Baking

Our Let's Get Baking students completed CAT 1 this week, putting their creativity and cooking skills to the test.

Students used the design process to plan and adapt a basic savoury pull-apart bread recipe, creating their own unique combinations of ingredients. They then folded, wrapped and twirled their dough to create breads that were not only delicious but looked fantastic too!

Everyone did a fantastic job, well done! 👏🥖

The new Senior School building is underway!

How exciting! Our new contractor, Jointly, has officially started work onsite, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Emerald Secondary College.

We were all in awe as demolition began, it certainly didn’t take long to see the site transformed!

The building envelope is now nearing completion, with the next major stages including the pouring of the footings and slab. There is plenty to coordinate behind the scenes, with plumbing, electrical, ICT and other essential services all needing to come together as construction progresses.

The builder is currently hoping for an August 2027 completion.

It is fantastic to see the Senior School building taking shape, and we can’t wait to watch this exciting project continue to develop over the coming months.

It’s going to look amazing!

We love you, Jointly!!!
