Cheese Your Own Creation

STUDENTS GET DAIRY CREATIVE IN THE KITCHEN

Warrnambool College Food and Industry students, were given the opportunity to whip up a storm in the kitchen, thanks to the Great Ocean Road – Careers made here - Cheese Your Own Creation program.

The program involves students and teachers in a uniquely creative way: in teams of two, students were required to design an imaginative dairy creation. The student chefs then developed a recipe of their new creation, the recipe and photo were submitted to be judged. Twelve lucky recipes were selected for inclusion in the 2019 Warrnambool Cheese & Butter Calendar. Excitingly one of these finalists were from our class – Tabitha Castleman and Amber Sanderson

Briony Wringe, Great Ocean Road Senior Brand Manager, said, Cheese Your Own Creation makes important links between the dairy industry, school and local community.

“We’re proud to support Cheese your own Creation, it’s a great opportunity for students to get creative while learning about the wide range of career opportunities in Australia’s vibrant dairy industry.”

Students and teachers were provided with supporting resources and curriculum for the duration of the programme. Each school receives a Coles gift voucher to purchase Great Ocean Road products and is provided with a copy of the 2018 Warrnambool Cheese & Butter calendar for creative inspiration.

“Through the programme students can gain an understanding of the dairy industry, the nutritional value of its products, and the importance of the industry to regional economies – all while having lots of fun in the kitchen. I’m excited to see what the students create and trying my hand at some of their recipes,” Ms Wringe said.

At the conclusion of the Cheese Your Own Creation programme each student will be awarded a certificate in recognition of their hard work.
