Hospitality Road Show

Thanks to all that participated in The very successful Hospitality Road Show. Thank you for your feedback too. Some of the positive comments from TAFE students that were involved...
"were able to put into practice what we have been doing in cafe"
"made feel very welcome by venue"
"Learning new things, able to practice 3 plate carry"
"I learnt that talking to people isn't so scary after all"

and where we can improve for next time...
"by getting everyone to do more hands on practical skills and talking in front of the class"

So... for more fun and experience make sure you get involved in the other activities that are coming up... Groovin the moo, seafood and semillon and of course your restaurant and cafe classes :)

Mayoral Awards

Congratulations and thank you to all the students that participated in the Mayoral Awards last Thursday night. Certificate 3 Tourism and Hospitality Students completed various tasks including set up of the auditorium for the awards and escorting guests to their tables. Students also set up for the VIP function where they greeted guests and provided tray service of food and beverages. Food for the VIP function was prepared and cooked by Certificate 2 Cookery students.

There were several comments from prospective employers on the enthusiasm, professionalism and presentation of some of the students with one student being offered employment and others being encouraged to submit a copy of their resume.
