Held in the hall on Wednesday, March 4, the students whipped up zucchini slice with lavish bread, pork belly, and a drizzle of tomato relish.
School captain Ava Mackley-Handsaker said the students "used fresh ingredients from the garden to make the dish".
"By using maths 5/6A altered an amazing dish for six people to 50 people. They all made personalised invites for their special guests," Miss Mackley-Handsaker said.
"Half the class were in the kitchen making the delicious food with [P&C member] Ray Williams, but the other half of the students were setting up the tables with a little help from Miss Austin.
"They not only set up the tables but also used flowers from our garden for more colour and decoration."

Miss Mackley-Handsaker said a handful of students went with Mrs McMaster to go shopping at Woolworths for other items that were needed.
Six brave students on the day also went up to talk about the experience and how they made the food.
"It was beautiful," Leigh McGrath said of the meal.
Jennifer Elphick said "it was lovely and full of flavours".
The school and Miss Mackley-Handsaker thanked Maryanne Perkins from Gunnedah Health and Fitness club and Cohen Edwards for kind donations to the gardening project.
"Thank you to everyone who took part in the pop-up restaurant and also anyone who was invited," Miss Mackley-Handsaker said.
