‘As Old Girls of MLC School, Jacqueline and I are proud to tell you we have recently been listed as two of the top seven ‘Inner West Business Women’.
In 2007, Jacqueline and I, aged 25 and 22 respectively, pursued our dream of owning a cafe. August this year will mark our 14 year anniversary operating Sideways Deli Cafe, nestled in the residential heart of Dulwich Hill.’
You might be interested in this article published in the Daily Telegraph on 25 February, 2021. The article notes that sisters Jacqueline Zammit (Oag, 1999) and Danielle Hutchison (Oag, 2002) are making a name for themselves in Dulwich Hill. Their cafe, Sideways Deli Cafe has been a staple of the suburb for the last 10 years and under the sister act has gone from strength to strength.
Known to be uber kid-friendly, the cafe was officially crowned the best cafe in the Inner West last month.
‘I felt compelled to contact MLC School as our teachers and leaders throughout our schooling experience instilled in us a desire to be independent. It also empowered us to be courageous and taught us that success comes through challenges, perseverance, kindness and an ability to innovate. Success also comes in many different forms and it is wonderful that MLC School acknowledges them all.’
‘Jacqueline and I are very grateful the School catered to all interests through an extensive subject offering. Encouragement to study subjects we enjoyed – notably Design Technology, Food Technology and Hospitality influenced our future prospects. We both obtained UAIs over 95, resulting in us both obtaining a Bachelor of Commerce at UNSW, which has contributed to the success of our business to date.
‘I am so proud to be an MLC School Old Girl. My schooling experience shaped who I am and opened my mind. My daughter now attends the School and I am thrilled to see the culture is unchanged. I have no doubt she will be provided every opportunity and be encouraged to follow any path she desires.’
