Text Box: shire. Ian, enjoyed the experience, and when reporting to the Board he told all that, ‘To be involved in the kitchen with the pupils was a lot of fun’ he went on to add that ‘seeing the CCA help, is excellent, not only did the school receive help but also allowed the CCA some positive contact and awareness’ on that Ian commented that by giving this help, ‘Staff at the school were interested on what we [CCA] do, I directed them towards the website, the feedback was excellent, the network opportunities are endless’. The biggest surprise was to Text Box: come, that was in the equipment, ’All the kitchens were kitted out with household appliances, which are fine, but the quality of utensils was poor, not in maintenance, it had came to its natural end’. With this in mind a request was made to the Board members that help in purchasing some needy equipment was provided. The CCA decided that the cause was worthwhile and the school duly received enough utensils and equipment to fit out three of the classrooms. As an on going project Ian has made himself available to continue at the school as the Text Box: Text Box: students now prepare for their Finals. The menu for final examination is; SAVOURY TOASTS ************** TURKEY SWEET & SOUR with FRIED RICE ************** ORANGE & KIWI PAVLOVA The website has pictures of the students and teachers as well as the finished items from the prelim exam. ‘From all accounts the pupils all done well [in their exams] and go to the finals with confidence' said Ian, ’A few of the pupils asked about careers in catering, which casts my mind back to when I was their age’, reminisced Ian. Into the future, a glass framed unit with be located at the entrance of the Home Economics department, in which will have a series of pictures of the CCA visit. A CCA logo will also be displayed, for all to see the help that has been given.
