Master Chef Challenge

On Monday 13 October, a dedicated group of VPC students took part in a special Master Chef Challenge as part of their Unit 2 Assessment, Connecting with Community.

The event was more than just a cooking competition - it was a thoughtfully planned initiative aimed at promoting inclusion and connection, with students imagining new refugee peers joining in for a shared culinary experience.

During the planning process, students brainstormed food ideas, carefully considering time constraints, hygiene, dietary needs, budget, and presentation. After much discussion, two standout recipes were chosen: Cookies & Cream Cake and Chilli Chicken Fried Rice.

The challenge culminated in a celebratory feast that was also a fitting and memorable end to Year 12 classes for the year. Judging was close, but in the end, the team behind the Cookies & Cream Cake walked away with the Master Chef Certificate.

Congratulations to our winners, Year 12 student Belinda and Year 11 students Jethro and Patrick. A big shout-out to the talented runners-up for their delicious Chilli Chicken Fried Rice, Year 12 students Ethan and Nick and Year 11 student Madison.

Well done to all involved for demonstrating creativity, teamwork, and the true spirit of community!
