12 VCE-VM Literacy – Shark Tank Challenge
Mrs Brown’s VM Literacy students took on the Understanding and Engaging with Literacy for Advocacy unit by designing and pitching a product in a high-energy ‘Shark Tank’-style presentation.
Students explored branding, personal identity, and how words, images, and multimedia work together to deliver a powerful, persuasive message. Students tested their product descriptions in ChatGPT to see what image it would create, and whether it matched their vision! Below are just two examples from the project, with all students delivering impressive work.

Product: NDC Order-to-go app
“Imagine a world where buying school lunch is effortless, fast, and tailored just for you! Our new NDC Order-To-Go App lets you order your lunch right from class. With the new phone Government policy, buying lunch is so difficult. Students miss out on food every day because their only form of payment is Apple Pay…and we can't use our phones at school, right?
Right now, all school canteens are stuck in the past. Paper orders, cash payments, and chaotic queues leave not only the staff overwhelmed, but the students are ultimately disappointed and hungry, when they can’t pay easily.
Our solution? NDC Order-To-Go. This app is a user-friendly mobile and web app designed specifically for our school, students, and canteen. With just a few quick taps, students can view the canteen menu from their home, place orders and pay online through a system designed to work the same as Apple Pay. Our very own Notebook Service Centre will install it straight onto our desktops.
Unlike other lunch order apps, NDC OTG is designed specifically for the Notre Dame community. It connects with school timetables, (including extended pastoral group and assembly timetables), allows for allergies and dietary requirements, and sends notifications about daily specials and order cut off times. A newly added feature, called Commendation Credits, acts like a reward system, and allows students to purchase food with points received upon receiving Student Commendations. And to make it even easier, our app remembers your order history, letting you buy your lunch in one quick tap.
This app will change the lives of all students, staff, and busy families. Don't just take our word for it, check the 5-star reviews from NDC OTG users all around the school! Lunch sorted in seconds. Organised, efficient and easy - just the way we like it. Download the app today!
