GSSC MasterChef Competition serves up a feast of fun

Details

MasterChef

This term, GSSC held its very own version of MasterChef. This was held as part of our termly House Competitions, and also raised awareness during national Nutrition Week.

During the competition, our Home Groups participated in a quiz relating to the Australian dietary guidelines. The winners of each homegroup then represented their house in the semi-final for a cook-off. Contestants - with the encouragement of their Home Group teachers - had to prepare a healthy, French omelette that incorporated extra ingredients and a suitable garnish.

The judges- our fabulous Education Support staff - scored the contestants on the appearance, taste, texture and most importantly the, flavour. Well done to our semi-finalists.

Grand Final: Mystery Box Challenge

The grand final of the GSSC MasterChef 2024 competition brought out the best in our young chefs, as contestants from each neighborhood showcased their skills in preparing a sweet crepe. The challenge required them to incorporate foods from all five food groups - grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and protein - while adhering to Dietary Guideline 3, which emphasises limiting the intake of saturated fats, salt, and sugar.

Representing Biyala Neighbourhood we had Phoebe Hall and Jaydah Golding.
In Dharnyna Neighbourhood Zainab Alnajar and Vera Asante stepped up to the plate.
And in Bayuna Neighbourhood Abby Hill and Nyah delivered a stellar dish.

The competition was fierce, with each team balancing taste, nutrition, and presentation while keeping the focus on healthy eating. Their creative use of ingredients impressed the judges, showcasing not just culinary talent but also a strong understanding of healthy eating principles.

The non-biased chief judges then had to score the teams to determine the winning neighbourhood. This included:

  • Tarryn our friendly face in the Main Office
  • Keegan our Timetabler extraordinaire
  • Simo our can-do maintenance man and;
  • Jake our OHS guru

In true MasterChef style, contestants had to wait days to find out the results on who would be crowned GSSC MasterChef’s for 2024.

Congratulations to Year 7 student, Phoebe Hall and Year 9 student, Jayda Golding who represented Biyala neighbourhood and won the first ever GSSC MasterChef competition.

Well done to all contestants for representing each neighbourhood with aspiration, integrity, respect and responsibility.

A special thanks to our Technology department, judges, students and staff who helped with video footage for our Home Group material and all Home Groups for their participation.
