Food Technology scored some new votes and even a few first-time voters in 2013… just like at this year’s Federal election!
Campaigning for votes, doesn’t come easily, just ask any politician, but a record number of votes were cast by students, expressing an interest in entering this year’s Inter-house Cooking Competition. The successful entrants were selected to represent their house in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11. They impressed the judges with their excellent skills and performance on the day. Thank you to Brendan Nicholls and Jake Sykes (Year 12) for judging the competition and their encouragement of the students. Congratulations to all boys on their fantastic efforts and the results were Foley and Jordan tied for first place, followed by Butler and then Brophy. The final words on the issue were best summed up by a new entrant in the annual contest…“Cooking is fun!” said Sam Morrison (Year 8). The results were in early in the year, for the 2013 Top Designs Season of Excellence exhibition at the Melbourne Museum. Lachlan Brown (Year 12) was elected to display his highly original folio, entitled “The Birth of the Black Pearl” based on local produce from the Otway Region. His brilliant folio showcased Lachlan’s creative use of ingredients in his special dishes. Jackson Davies (Year 12) was also recognised

for his amazing folio, which was shortlisted from hundreds of entries, received from all over Victoria. Food Technology students throughout all year levels registered their commitment to the subject, with some showing a real passion for food. Many students volunteered to assist with school functions, such as the Student Leaders Investiture and VCE Awards morning teas. The area hosted special programs once again for Ad Alta students and Year 12 VCAL students, in order to further their develop skills and their interest in food production activities. Visitors were also welcomed to the area in the June school holidays, with cooking workshops offered to local primary students. Thank you to the SJC Food Technology staff members, Leanne Rivett, Julie McDonald, Suzanne Walsh, Karen Guerra and Nicole Lucas, for their continual hard work, valuable assistance and ongoing professionalism in 2013. Happy cooking!
