VCE Food Studies Excursion last Thursday in Melbourne. We visited the Queen Victoria Market and then Ratio Cocoa Roasters. The Year 12 students were investigating food issues for their Unit 4 Written Report SAC. We were looking for examples of sustainability, ethics, food citizenship and food sovereignty at the market as part of our local food system. 

We then took a quick tram trip up Sydney Road to the fabulous local chocolate maker Deb Makin @ Ratio Cocoa. We had a tour of the chocolate factory and then a tasting of the different aspects of this process. 

We really had a terrific day and thank the students for their excellent engagement. We hope they have been inspired and enriched by this learning experience.
