Hospitality work experience

The students who chose Hospitality as an elective for 2018 have had an enjoyable and successful year so far. As year 11 Hospitality students they have continued to make advances towards developing and refining skills for the HSC. This course allows students a high degree of practical food preparation experience, culminating in a nationally accredited qualification at the end of Year 12 as well as a Higher School Certificate. In other words a dual accreditation.

Many culinary skills were developed during the preparation of dishes such as chargrilled banana and cinnamon sandwiches, sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce, Thai beef salad, chicken pad thai and handmade crumbed Snapper fillets with gourmet salad.

Each student will be completing a work placement as part of their studies in year 11 and 12. The work placement program allows all Hospitality students to join Sydney’s workforce for a week. Although this experience is restricted to the Commercial Cookery area within the Hospitality industry, it without doubt provides insight on day-to-day life in any work environment.

Work experience locations include Burwood RSL Club, Rockpool Bar and Grill, Novotel Sydney Olympic Park, Pullman Hotel Sydney Olympic Park, The Westin Sydney and Sir Stamford Circular Quay.
