Food Tech excursion

On Tuesday 24 October the Year 11 Food Technology class went on an excursion as part of their studies about the Australian Food Industry. The day started at Little Saigon in Bankstown, where students met James, owner of Huong Xua Vietnamese restaurant. James shared with us his passion for food and his family’s story of migration to Australia and we enjoyed sampling his aromatic Pho soup and his famous fried spring rolls.

We then made our way to the Bankstown Sports Club, where we were welcomed by the CEO and a Director of the organisation, and we were guided through the entire premises by their Head of Training (who just happened to be an old Santa girl). We explored a range of restaurants and cafes operated by Bankstown Sports, from The Greenfield Station Bistro, all the way to the Lady Banks Rooftop. Students learnt about the operations of the business and ended the tour with a delicious Italian style lunch at La Piazza followed by dessert at San Churros.
