Saints Chefs Impress at Regional Culinary Showdown
We are proud of two of our talented students, Will Powell and Cruz Vang-Ly, who recently showcased their culinary flair at A Taste of the Tropics – a dynamic, hands-on cooking competition at Innisfail State College.
This event, hosted in collaboration with the Business Liaison Association (BLA), celebrates the unique and vibrant tropical produce of Far North Queensland. Participants were challenged to design, prepare and present their dishes in a professional kitchen, reflecting creativity and technical skill.
Will and Cruz impressed the judges with their culinary creations, earning awards for their outstanding efforts. Their success will be officially recognised at the prestigious Aspire Awards in November.
Congratulations to both students on this remarkable achievement!
