VET HOSPITALITY

On Wednesday the 10th of September, our Hospitality students embraced the opportunity to lead and serve, catering a two-course dinner for the Business and Professional Women Swan Hill.

Held in The Orchard, our school training restaurant, the event showcased not only the students’ culinary talents but also their professionalism and poise under pressure. Guests were treated to a thoughtfully curated menu, prepared and served by our students working in real-time service conditions.

The students executed a flawless service, and their level of skill, teamwork and communication was exceptional. Watching them take ownership and pride in their work was incredibly rewarding, and we are beyond proud of the manner in which they represented our school and themselves. The evening allowed us not only to showcase the talents and professionalism of our students, but also to highlight the exceptional facilities and hands-on learning experiences offered within our Hospitality program. 

This event was more than a meal—it was a celebration of learning, leadership, and the power of young people to contribute meaningfully to their community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to BPW Swan Hill for their support and encouragement, and to our dedicated staff, Mel Brooks and Mandy McCallum, whose guidance and mentorship made the evening a resounding success.
