Click here for the blank recipe sheet. The Big Lunch @Dixon Road
THE BIG LUNCH @Dixon Road is a culinary celebration of our school and community’s many diverse cultures. We would like Holyrood Secondary families to share traditional recipes from the countries they are linked to that take around 30 minutes to prepare, cook and serve.
We will cook a selection of the recipes in the Home Economics department working in partnership with Barnardo’s and the Co-Op to make a recipe book called ‘The Big Lunch@ Dixon Road’ The book will be printed professionally by Barnardo’s.
The completed recipes must be returned to the H.E Department by Friday 30th May. Use the link- click here https://forms.office.com/e/mAEzUbQSHC
or emailed to gw09diverselizabeth2@glow.sch.uk
Pupils will be given a timeslot to cook their recipe.
The cultural celebration for the parents and families of those who have taken part will be on Wednesday 11th June 2025 at 6.30pm. There will be music, food, activities and we would love families to attend in the traditional dress of the country they have links to for pictures to be taken and used in the book beside their family recipe.
Reading Schools
The Reading Schools Committee, led by students, is working towards becoming a Gold Reading School by continuing to develop the reading culture of Holyrood. We currently have the Silver award and have been creating more opportunities for students to engage with reading. We would love to hear feedback from parents and carers in our community. We would appreciate you taking the time to fill in this survey click the link https://forms.office.com/e/QHALQp2u3j or scan the QR Code in the leaflet.
