Last term, STAGS students were invited to take part in the Rotary Young Chef Competition 2017 which was held at Oaklands College. Twenty aspiring junior chefs from a number of Hertfordshire schools were present at the finals held in November.

STAGS were proudly represented by Keira Flavin, 7C; Rachel Staples, 9J; Zahraa Makee and and Hollie Thurston, 10F. The girls each prepared, cooked and presented a two course meal within 90 minutes. Despite the daunting high tech catering facilities and tight time limit the dishes produced were of an immaculate standard. Judges were particularly impressed with Keira from Year 7, the youngest ever entrant in the competition’s history!

If you are currently in Years 10 or 11 and feel inspired to undertake a culinary challenge, Oaklands College are holding another competition on 10th February 2018. Please contact Ms. Barry for entry information: deadline 19th January.
