Local pupils create food snack inspired by Commonwealth Games
Students from Cardinal Newman High School, Bellshill have embraced the spirit of the 2014 Commonwealth Games by creating a healthy snack to sell to family and friends at a mock up “Athlete's Village” event held at the school.
As part of this “Game On” challenge, organised by Warburtons and the Scottish Food and Drink Federation (SFDF), S1 pupils were given a taste of what is involved in creating and marketing food.
The winning product was announced as “Star Surprise”, a healthy chicken mix set in a star shaped bread casing (pictured), which was designed and made by S1 pupils Megan Miles, Kara McLoy, Kieran Wilkinson and Aidan Williamson.
The partnership was set up by SFDF as part of its 'A Future in Food' national schools programme which is funded by the Scottish Government. The programme works to build partnerships between Scottish schools and food and drink businesses, helping teachers, pupils and parents better understand where their food comes from, how it's produced, and what careers are available in the sector.
The “Game on Challenge” was made possible by funding from Education Scotland and all money raised during the week was donated to St Andrew's Hospice.
