Our annual Cheese Appreciation night is a highlight of our term long investigation of cheesemaking showcasing the learnings of our Year 8 Science students including posters and cartons about the cheese making process and milk solids analysis. Students and parents viewed the advertisements produced by students while their cheese was judged in a blind taste test by Simon Schulz and Hila Perry from Schulz Organic Dairy who were impressed with the consistent texture and taste of the final product. Our judges first tested the aroma of the cheese, the shape of the brined cheese wheel, the appearance of the cheese whilst cut checking for consistency and finally, the taste and flavour. Media judges, Leah Champion and Robyn Vale had a difficult time determining the winner of the advertisement challenge as there were many ads which delivered clear and concise messages about dairy. The winning 8A ad was produced by Ruby and Claire with Indiana and Isla as runners up while 8B’s Sylvia and Bridie won the competition for their class with Toby and Harvey as runners up. After the cheese judging Simon Schulz commended the students on the quality of their cheese and the cheese making process. ‘Cameron the Camembert’ was the name of the winning cheese by Claire and Ruby from 8A, with Marcus and Roxana’s ‘Mr Freckle’ pronounced the runner up. ‘The Stripey Cow’ was the best cheese in 8B produced by Ruby and Riley with ‘Bartholomew’ produced by Boady and Mitchell as the runner up. Thank you to Rebecca Pedersen from Saputo for proving cheese sample hampers and bucket hats from Saputo whilst our runners up prizes included ice cream vouchers from Timboon Fine Ice Cream. Congratulations to Mrs Maxwell, Mrs Watson and Fiona Allen who coordinated the evening and to everyone who attended who helped us celebrate all things cheese! Comments are closed.
