SECONDARY SCHOOLS CULINARY CHALLENGE
The ACF regrets to announce that due to the uncertainty of how long coronavirus self distancing rules will be in place, all secondary schools competitions have been cancelled for 2020, this includes National & International events. We look forward to seeing you all in 2021 with a bigger & better competition. This page will be updated at the end of the year with 2021 dates
Regional Finals
Each year the Australian Culinary Federation (ACF) conducts a cooking competition for Secondary School Students in each Australian state. This competition is a great opportunity for students with an interest in becoming a chef to gain invaluable contacts within the hospitality industry. It is also a lot of fun, and a great learning experience for staff and students alike. The aim of this competition is to give students an insight into the hospitality industry and to identify and encourage students who demonstrate a talent and a passion for cooking.
If you are in years 10, 11 or 12, enrolled in a Secondary School and are studying either a Hospitality or Commercial Cookery course, then you are eligible to enter your state competition. The winners of each State competition will be eligible to compete in the National Final
National & International Finals
This International Competition will be held in conjunction with National SSCC final August 2020 in Perth, the competition will be hosted by North Metropolitan TAFE Joondalup, both competitions have a jammed packed schedule & we are looking forward to hosting teams from Asia & Pacific Regions
