I was going to do that! Spooky I'm glad I chose a rooftop dessert bar, who doesn't love creating a dessert souvlaki??

A dessert souvlaki? That sounds both delicious and confusing! What was it made of?

[tmiller]

Ooo what did you make for your Australian day theme??

We had one girl base her's on rum which is kinda cool!

It was a crepe instead of bread, custard instead of garlic sauce, brownie instead of meat, dehydrated strawberries instead of tomato and toffee instead of lettuce. It tasted a bit weird but VCAA don't need to know that

I made sausage rolls, party pies, steak sandwich with tomato chutney, vanilla slice and pavlova with ice cream

That dessert souvlaki sounds very.... Interesting!

Oh wow that Australia Day BBQ sounds great!!

It's interesting that you say that. A couple of us wanted to make foods like that, but our teacher refused to let us. She said that our folios would only get a good mark if we made foods that you wouldn't just find in a cafe or supermarket. It made choosing recipes difficult!

So long as we had the amount of complex processes and preservatives, my teacher didn't mind

[tmiller]

It might depend on the school and area you live in.. We go to Padua college in mornington and our teacher allowed people to go down that path but pushed the stronger students to branch out into different and more difficult recipes

[tmiller]

What I actually mean ( seeing as what I said originally didn't make sense)
Is that every teacher is different and they teach differently so you can have a range of way a folio is done! If that makes more sense then before

[tmiller]

So apparently our food folios have been short listed and people have been sent letters! Has anyone heard of this? ;)

[walkec]

If you mean short listed for top designs, then I'm not surprised because successful applicants for top designs get notified around January according to the application form for top designs.

[tmiller]

Yes that's exactly what I mean!
Well according to the vcaa website successful participants are notified around the 1st of December... I was simply wondering as it's only early November

[walkec]

According to the photocopy I have of the top designs application page, it says that short listed applicants will need to deliver their folios to VCAA by early December for selection. So it's probably to give short listed applicants the opportunity to make sure that their folios are available/they will be available to deliver their folio to VCAA at the required time.

Out of interest, did you receive a letter yourself from VCAA saying you were short listed or did your teacher and then they just told you?

[tmiller]

I received the letter in the mail from the vcaa!
It doesn't go through your school at all!
