The Home Economics department have secured an exciting experience for all of our S2 pupils to take part in on Thursday 27th November; we will be the first school in Scotland engaging in this experience. Rentokil Initial are bringing two workshops to Lourdes for pupils to take part in.
The 2 workshops available are:
• Pestaurant
• Hygiene Angels
There is a pin badge available for all who complete the Pestaurant challenge. The Rentokil Pestaurant is designed to educate pupils on edible insects and why this might be an important food source for the future. We look to demonstrate how ‘one person’s pest, could be another person’s protein’ in a fun and informative way. All of the insects that we have on offer for the students to try have been farmed specifically for human consumption.
They are imported already dry roasted / flavoured and packaged, from North America and Holland, as there are currently no insect farms in the UK producing insects for human consumption.
Pupils will be invited to look at the edible insects on our Pestaurant buffet and to try them if they wish.
Please Note: We do advise that people with a seafood allergy do not try the edible insects.
We are having their first Christmas Fayre where there will be raffles, games, shows and lots of chances to win great prizes. The entry cost is a £1 donation, tea and coffee included and it will be on the 13th December 2014. The Fayre starts at 10am and will finish at 1pm. There will be a variety of things in the SS hall, Social Area, Dinner Hall, Concert Hall and Foyer. We hope you come along and join the fun!
The S3 XL class organised and hosted a tea party on 9th June. The class invited residents from our local elderly care homes to come along for an afternoon of tea, coffee, home-baking and live entertainment.
