The Home Economics room has been a hype of activity lately, with major changes happening.

As part of the state budget 2020-21 we received a grant of $100,000 to engage local tradespeople to deliver priority maintenance to improve the school site.

The Gladstone High School Home Economics room has needed an upgrade for many years with many parents of current students commenting the facilities were the same as when they were at high school. The kitchen upgrade involved the room being gutted and replaced with new appliances, fresh white cupboards with more storage, higher bench tops and a fresh floor. The room is now very spacious and is now a fresh modern space for students to cook in. All that awaits is a fresh coat of paint to finish the room off. A laundry has been created and the pantry space is now much more usable.

Thank you to Clare Joinery for making the whole process from designing and installation so simple.

There have been some very enthusiastic students taking part in Food and Hospitality lessons in the last 2 weeks.
