Meet Cheffrey: the heart of the Tallong kitchen

For well over a decade, students, staff and visitors to Santa Sabina College’s Tallong Campus have been welcomed by the delicious aromas and friendly smile of our much-loved campus chef, Cheffrey. His name is Geoff, but we call him Cheffrey.

Since joining the Tallong campus community in 2015, Cheffrey has become an integral part of the outdoor education experience. Whether preparing a hearty breakfast before a day of activities, serving nutritious lunches, or creating comforting dinners after an adventurous day, he ensures that everyone feels well-nourished and cared for.

Cheffrey’s passion for cooking extends far beyond simply preparing meals. He understands the important role that food plays in bringing people together. Many students remember gathering in the dining hall after a busy day, sharing stories and laughter over meals that Cheffrey has carefully prepared. His ability to cater for different tastes and dietary needs ensures that everyone feels included at the table.

Over the years, Cheffrey has served thousands of students, staff and visitors, becoming a familiar and trusted face at Tallong. His dedication, reliability and warm sense of humour have earned him the respect and appreciation of the entire Santa Sabina community. He is also known far and wide across the breadth of the client schools that visit Tallong. Siblings pass on stories of Cheffrey down through the years.

What makes Cheffrey truly special is the care he brings to every aspect of his work. From early morning starts to the final clean-up each evening, he takes pride in creating a welcoming environment where good food and good company go hand in hand.

We thank Cheffrey for his outstanding contribution to the Tallong Campus and for making every visit a memorable one.
