The 12-month project was funded by a $350,000 grant from the NSW government through the Building Grants Assistance Scheme.

The Design Centre features a brand new food technology classroom, a general classroom, storage area, food preparation area, staff room, laundry and disabled toilet.

Mr Grant said the Design Centre had contributed to raising regional education facilities into the 21st century.

"Education is so important and that's why we continue to invest in it, ensuring or children have access to the best possible facilities," Mr Grant said.

"We want to make the educational experiences in regional areas a state-of-the-art standard."

Mr Grant said he would like to see future growth of education facilities in Dubbo, from investments in infrastructure and the students.

MAGS headmaster, Craig Mansour, said the establishment of the Design Centre had enabled MAGS to introduce food technology as an elective subject for students in years 9, 10, 11 and 12.

With 17 students in years 9 and 10 undertaking food technology as an elective, Mr Mansour said he expected the subject's popularity to soar in the future.

MAGS food technology teacher, Susan Bodiam, said she was thrilled to have such a high standard of facilities to work in.

She said the students served Mr Grant and other guests a selection of food from their first assessment where they were told to include an element of "bush tucker" into recipes.

"From that, they've serve a variety of things from lemon myrtle biscuits to kangaroo nachos," Mrs Bodiam said.

Year 10 student, Mikaela Percy, said she and her peers were enjoying the food technology course.

"We were told last year it would be offered and we couldn't say no," Mikaela said.

"Cooking helps everyone and we're learning important life skills."
