In an exciting week in which the Marden kitchens were taken over by staff and student teams every morning last week, we can now reveal the results of all their hard work…

…Teams were awarded points by hungry students for taste, presentation and service; but it wasn’t just the students calling the shots. The kitchen staff also chipped in with marks for planning, organisation and cooking. There were also bonus points for extra portions dished out, and in a very high scoring week, the consistency of Mr Morris (with a little help from Food Technology teacher Mrs Rae) won through in the end, scoring an impressive 105 for their pork and apple burgers.

Mr Jamieson could only manage 5th place despite an impressive score of 91, his chicken dish somewhat scuppered by wild rumours of a kitchen mishap that may or may not have lost his team marks.

Staff and students really got into the competitive spirit, with Mr Whitehouse in the unenviable position of setting the standard to follow after kicking us all off on Monday, and there were accusations of secret bread making trials and stolen butter ringing around the Marden kitchens all week long.
