In celebration of Healthy Bones Action Week, which highlights the essential role of dairy as part of a balanced diet, we ran a fun competition for employees alongside a competition for schools by our community partner, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation (SAKGF). The challenge? To create the ultimate cheese platter.

The Foundation’s ‘Grazing Platter of the Imagination’ competition saw school students compete to create their version of a perfect cheese platter while boosting their understanding of the nutritional value of dairy. The winning school received $1,000 worth of Saputo Dairy Australia products to use as part of their kitchen garden program.

Meanwhile, our employees unleashed their creativity, submitting photos of their masterpiece cheese platters for a chance to win a great SAKGF prize pack. Our employees voted for who they thought was worthy of the top prize, with more than 200 votes cast to determine the winners. The first, second and third placed platters showcased the skills, diversity and creativity of our fabulous team members!
