On Wednesday 10th May, Year 10 Food Technology students travelled to North Wollongong to participate in a Hospitality program called the SHE program.
The Student Hospitality Experience (SHE) program provided a great opportunity for our students to gain some industry awareness, both as a guest and as an employee.
Our students were able to experience ‘a day in the life’ of different professions within the hotel. These experiences included a pastry lesson with a qualified pastry chef, a barista session with a trained member of the Food and Beverage team and a mocktail training course, also with a member of the Food and Beverage team. Year 10 were treated to a delicious buffet lunch and then a comprehensive tour of both front and back of house, including two kitchens, maintenance, the laundry, front reception and some of the rooms.
This excursion provided an excellent opportunity for our Food Technology students to see how their current unit of learning, Food Service and Catering, translates directly into careers in the hospitality industry.
