Become a smoothie entrepreneur!
St Timothy’s school space will be transformed into an entrepreneurial delight with the delicious, the delectable...The Smoothie Bar!
In this hands-on and flavoursome full day incursion, students embark on a quest to create a smoothie product and marketing campaign that promotes health and wellness in their community.
Working in teams through 5 steps, students discover what it takes to become a business owner. They investigate the preferences of their target market, design and learn about cost and profit before trialling their delicious and nutritious blends. Once they have the ultimate smoothie recipe, students use their digital literacy and design skills to create marketing materials to promote their product and brand. Then it all comes down to The Pitch!
The Smoothie Bar is a highly activated day which focuses on students developing skills in teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, financial literacy, digital literacy, communication and presentation skills.

Parish Newsletter Saturday 15th July and Sunday 16th July‘
The teaching of Jesus is grounded firmly in the Jewish world of the 1st Century. For most of his listeners, that world was an agricultural one and so the stories Jesus told were about the everyday realities of peoples’ lives. He told stories about vineyards, wheat fields, building houses, planting seeds and reaping harvests. The imagery he used was drawn from the lived experience of those he taught. Jesus used a style of storytelling that was popular at the time: parable. A parable is a story with a moral or a lesson. A parable usually involves an extended metaphor and, at its heart, is teaching the listener about how to live or how to behave. Another feature of parables is that they can be understood at different levels. At one level, there is the literal meaning of a parable – what it says is what it is about. In today’s gospel, the parable of the sower can be read or heard as a literal story about sowing seed and the lesson one might take from it is to be careful where you throw the seed when sowing. At another level, parables have a metaphoric meaning. In this instance, Jesus actually explains the symbolism of the parable to his disciples. There is a further, interpretive level of a parable where a modern reader asks, ‘What has that story got to say to me here and now?’ In his conversation with the disciples, Jesus makes clear that only some people are open to understanding the depth of the message contained within his parables. Some people will only ever hear the story and never hear the message. Mind you, he still has to explain the parable to the disciples! He has just chastised those who fail to understand and yet walks the disciples through the parable step by step!
