Year 7 Passion Project

2024 has seen a trial of a new Learning Area at BHS.  All Year 7s were part of a Passion Project for Semester 1, with students developing many new skills and knowledge.

During Term 1, all students worked through a process to determine their "passions".  These were narrowed down and they were able to focus on one area in particular.  Students were required to research their passion which was finalised with a presentation to their class. 

In Term 2 teachers of each homegroup determined what "passions" the students would focus on.  7HCL1 and 7LCL2 worked together focusing on the schools Ag Department, 7BCL4 researched chicken coups and 7MCL5 learnt about needlework.

In Week 8, Year 7HCL1 and 7LCL2 finished off their semester of Passion Project with a Ready, Steady, Cook competition.  Each group were required to find or develop a recipe that incorporated dairy or eggs.  Whatever they cooked needed to highlight their chosen ingredient.

Competition was fierce with many groups coming up with culinary delights such as carbonara, scones, sponge cake, dairy free pudding, spinach pie, gourmet eggs in toast and an egg and bacon sub. The teachers' bellies were full and the winning team is yet to be announced. Some amazing chefs, sous chefs and kitchen hands in the making but most importantly, everyone had a ball!!

The winner of the competition was ‘Chicken and Toes’ with their bacon and egg sub.  Congratulations Kayden, Bodie and Jarrett.  An ‘eggcellent’ creation.
