Inter Schools Bake Off

Just before the mid-term break, the final of the inter schools baking competition was held in St Patrick’s College with Mayfield Community School providing the opposition. The final event was the culmination of a number of qualifying rounds, with three girls from St Patrick’s making the final and three from Mayfield in the final. The theme of the final day was “Healthy Scones” and the judges were Declan Ryan of Arbutus Bakery and Lillian Twomey of Ryan’s Supervalu Glanmire. The girls did really well with some very delicious scones being baked in the school cookery room. Michelle Rodgers of St Patrick’s claimed third prize with the top two places going to students from Mayfield Community School. Well done to all involved, especially the girls and their parents as well as the Home Economics teachers and the Home School Liaison Officers who organized the event.
