Do know there’s a story behind Anzac biscuits? 🇦🇺❤️

Anzac biscuits date back to World War I, when families in Australia and New Zealand wanted to send something homemade to soldiers fighting overseas.

Because fresh food wouldn’t survive the long journey by ship, they created a biscuit made from simple pantry ingredients: oats, flour, sugar, coconut and golden syrup that would last for weeks without spoiling.

These biscuits became a small but powerful way to show care, connection and support from home 💛

Today, Anzac biscuits are more than just a treat, they’re part of our history and a way to remember the resilience, courage and community spirit of that time.

At The Lab, we’ve turned this classic recipe into something a little different…

✨ Coding + baking = learning in action!

Our kids are: 👩‍💻 Turning recipes into algorithms
🔁 Using loops to cook in batches
🧠 Debugging “broken” recipes
🍪 And (of course) enjoying the results

Because learning should be hands-on, creative, and a little bit delicious.

I was so honoured as we celebrated The Lab with trophies, awards, and a huge showcase of all the incredible things our Lab kids have created this year. Minecraft builds and add-ons, Geometry Dash skills, PS5 gaming, board game creation, graphic designs, and dancing! Watching their skills, confidence, and connections grow makes us all so proud. 🎮💻🎨💃

Huge thanks to our amazing mentor Bonnie, East Creek Community Centre for having us, Domino’s for boosting our celebration, our beautiful parents, and of course… our incredible Lab kids. 💙
