Secondary

For secondary levels, food education constitutes a more formal aspect of children's education. Working with smaller numbers permits this programme to be much more personal and intense.

The secondary demonstrations run to a different theme to that of Primary and Special Needs, where the health benefits are focused on in greater detail, bringing forward the concept of why we need to have a balanced diet and the advantages this brings. NIS endeavour to reinforce the idea of healthy alternatives to student's normal consumption.

A Home Economics room is asked to be made available in order to facilitate these secondary level demonstrations. During this interactive demonstration, students are informed to the various different categories of fish indigenous to our island, and then shown how simple fish is to cook right before their eyes.

At the end of the demonstration, students are provided with an A4 pack, which includes a number of recipe leaflets, postcard, information sheet and evaluation sheet.

Classroom demonstrations are a proactive approach in encouraging students to be more open to working with fish.
