Hospitality Work Placement

Our Year 10 Hospitality students have recently been experiencing life in busy restaurant kitchens across Sydney. Work placement is an excellent opportunity to expand their skills and learn a range of new skills. We have received impressive feedback on all of our students, who are enjoying the experience. Our students have been lucky to be working in venues such as the five star Capella and Sheraton on the Park hotel, Opera Bar, Rydges, Bankstown Sports Club and St George Motor Boat Club.

Last week, Katalina and I completed our one-week work placement at Cappella, a 5-star hotel in the city, for Hospitality. We rotated through different areas including the pastry kitchen and breakfast team, completing various tasks such as making Anzac biscuits, decorating chia puddings and cutting fruit among others. We also learnt about work health and safety in a real kitchen environment. This included following hygiene procedures like keeping our workspace clean and there were also signs up everywhere to remind everyone what is expected. We really enjoyed being part of a professional team and seeing how a five-star kitchen operates behind the scenes. It was a great experience and we loved learning new skills and building confidence in a real hospitality setting.
