Hospitality Update -Working in the real world

Exposures Restaurant has been open and we have been very busy!  Students are really enjoying the busy service periods, and we are looking forward to opening more regularly in Term Three.

The Certificate III in Hospitality class has been working with the Athlete Development class, to fuel the North West Thunder Basketball team, after training, using the commercial kitchen at the basketball stadium in Ulverstone.

All Hospitality classes went on an excursion to The Gateway Hotel, where we saw all aspects of the industry including housekeeping, bar, kitchen, front of house and reception. Students were given an insight into how venues recruit staff and what skills can be listed on a resume.

Certificate II Kitchen Operations and Hospitality students participated in a function at the Leven Yacht Club recently, this was a valuable learning experience, and the students were given an awareness of how to cater for a function in an unfamiliar space, and they had a lot of practise carrying meals upstairs!!

On Thursday the 3rd of June the Hospitality and Kitchen Operation classes paired up with the Certificate II in Salon Assistant class to provide a “Style the College” day providing drinks and nibbles to the students while having their hair, makeup and nails done.
