Camembert in the Classroom program manager Dr Mani Iyer said that 15 schools across the Devonport region took part.
"The program was designed to encourage secondary school teachers and students to learn about the Australian dairy industry while introducing students to dairy manufacturing careers and pathways," he said.
"Over a term, students make their own camembert cheese in the classroom and complete assessment tasks, including a multimedia advertisement addressing Why Dairy is an Important Part of Our Diet."
Exeter High School claimed the $300 first prize for the best cheese, with Hellyer College earning $200 as runners up and Circular Head Christian School winning $250 for the best advertisement.
