SUCCESS - CHEESE YOUR OWN CREATION
NEWS RELEASE - STUDENTS CELEBRATE DAIRY CREATIONS - Congratulations to Elly Dumbell and Kelly Calonne
After a fun and flavoursome three months, students from McAuley Catholic Central School have won $250 for their school and been chosen to have their dairy creation featured in Great Ocean Road’s 2021 calendar.
The team from McAuley Catholic Central School, along with more than 1,030 students from 70 different schools spent the semester whipping up a storm in the kitchen, thanks to the Great Ocean Road – Careers made here - Cheese Your Own Creation programme.
In teams of two, students designed their own unique dairy creation before submitting the recipe and photo of their creation to be judged.
Today, we are pleased to announce the 13 schools selected as programme winners, each receiving $250 for their school and inclusion in the 2021 Great Ocean Road calendar.
2020 Cheese your own Creation winners:
Birdwood High School, SA, St Augustine’s College, QLD, Clarence High School, TAS, Good Counsel College, QLD, McAuley Catholic Central School, NSW, Bayside Christian College, QLD, Uralla Central School, NSW, Christian College Geelong, VIC, Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School, WA, St Brigid’s College Horsham, VIC, Busselton Senior High School, WA, Timboon P-12 School, VIC and Manjimup Senior High School, WA.
“We have been really impressed by the creativity and imagination of the students,” Tracy Wong, Great Ocean Road Senior Brand Manager, said.
“Every school and student should be proud of what they have achieved during the programme. It was a very hard task to choose only 13 recipes from so many unique dairy creations.”
The programme was offered as a curricular activity within the school’s Food Technology classes. Students and teachers were provided with supporting resources and curriculum for the duration of the programme.
Great Ocean Road is proud to support the Cheese your own Creation programme.
“It’s a great opportunity for students to have fun while learning important life skills like cooking and getting to know more about the wide range of career opportunities in Australia’s vibrant dairy industry,” Tracy said.
“The programme showcases dairy products and their nutritional value, as well as highlighting the importance of the industry to regional economies. When students see dairy products on their supermarket shelf, they can make the connection back to where dairy comes from in their local community.”
