Food Technology Time influences everything we do…especially cooking in the kitchen!
and Karen Sherman, with Annalee McKew and Jo Rigoni at our Westcourt campus, for all of their hard work and assistance throughout 2016.
It was time for our Year 7 students to start cooking, many for the first time, with a “good time had by all” across the year level in 2016. The students had time to develop new skills and take time to sample their dishes throughout the semester. The time came to reacquaint students in Years 8, 9 and 10 with life skills, such as making healthy food choices, planning meals, selecting fresh ingredients and employing safe and hygienic work practices. It was time to turn up the heat on production skill development and most students took the time to impress, while utilising resources and working within time constraints during class time. The clock was ticking for final year students in Year 12, while they were tackling more challenging recipes and techniques at times, with more time consuming recipes than ever before. Time did not stand still for Year 11 students who enjoyed their first taste of VCE and they had very little time on their hands following a busy schedule throughout the year.

INTER-HOUSE COOKING COMPETITION The annual Inter-house Cooking Competition was held in Term 4, with all of the competitors performing brilliantly on the day. A big thank you to the judges, 2017 School Captain Andrew McNeel and our Principal Mr Tobias for their expertise, and as they say “the judges’ decision is final”, so here are the results: 1st Dougal Barrett (Butler)
It was time to get involved in 2016, with Food Technology staff and students assisting in various school activities and the area hosting programs, such as school holiday workshops. There was even time for staff to enjoy a cooking lesson at the end of a busy day as part of the SJC staff wellbeing program.

The time has come for farewells, firstly our Food Technology assistant Mrs Karen Guerra who left after four years of service at SJC. Karen was a dedicated staff member who spent a great deal of time helping others, both teaching staff and students alike, and we would like to thank her for all her help and support. Finally, it is time to say farewell to our Principal Mr Paul Tobias who has been a great supporter of our Food Technology Department and we would like to take this opportunity to thank him too for his leadership and extend our best wishes to him for the future
