The Year 11 hospitality students started their first competency on Safety and Hygiene learning how to participate in safe work practices, use hygienic practices for work safely and participate in safe food handling practices. They learnt basic kitchen skills as well as culinary precision knife skills. They also began their second competency on The Sandwich Brigade. Students learnt about different types of sandwiches and wraps with the highlight of baking their own fresh focaccia bread to make Italian Pressed Paninis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Year 12 continued with their competency 4 on Working Effectively in a Commercial Kitchen where students went out on their second placement at local restaurants and establishments. They learnt about different types of sandwiches and simple dishes as well as packaged foodstuffs. They also took part in service periods at school providing a variety of different foods to designated customers. These included a high tea, breakfast muffins and delistyle fresh focaccia panini varieties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the highlights for both hospitality classes was catering to Champagnat Day where selected students prepared, cooked and served chicken burgers to the entire student and staff population producing over 1100 chicken burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Entertainment students continue to play a vital role in College life, with the MCE TV crew live streaming major events such as assemblies, carnivals, and masses. Year 11 and 12 students are currently completing their work placements, with Year 12 approaching their Trial exams and the final stages of their HSC course. Their technical skills and behind-the-scenes contributions enrich our school community and prepare them for future careers in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Year 11 students are focused on developing expertise in Technical Operations, which includes the full cycle of event production: planning, bump in (setting up), technical performance and bump out (packing down). Their work centres on key technical elements such as lighting, audio-visual systems and stage operations skills that are essential to delivering professional-standard events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a large number of students undertaking other VET courses at Southern Cross Catholic College Burwood and various TAFEs in the area, with a view to go into a variety of trades after they complete school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We wish our Year 12 students every success in their upcoming HSC Trials exams next term. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ms Monique Brame \u2013 Leader of Learning Many of our senior students continue to thrive in their Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways, with several undertaking studies at TAFE and Southern Cross Catholic College Burwood.
