Hospitality News

During Week 2 of Term 3, Year 11 Hospitality students participated in a 35 hour block of work placement as a mandatory requirement of their course. Work placement allows students undertaking this course to be placed at a local hospitality establishment to gain first-hand experience in this fast-paced industry.

During this time, students undertake a range of tasks delegated by the host employer in either front of house (customer service) or back of house (food preparation) to further develop their skill base and display prior knowledge.

Work placement is a fantastic opportunity to develop a rapport with future employers and within the community as a young citizen. As a result of this placement, a handful of students were offered casual employment. Well done to all the students involved.

A huge thank you goes to the following establishments for hosting our students –  (Griffith) Limone Dining , Sugarmill, Leagues Club, Romeo & Giulietta’s, O’Donnells, Health Hut, Victoria Hotel, 99 Spices, Belvedere, Malcolm's, Exies Sports Club and (Leeton) Crate.

Thank you also goes to Sarah Barber from Compact for all your hard work arranging these placements and being a familiar face when visiting placed students.
