Our Year 11 Hospitality students have spent the last term becoming baristas and expert food handlers in preparation for our in house staff Café. Last week we conducted our first service period with a group of excited teachers, who were keen to get their hands on our coffee and croissant deal. We had rave reviews and are excited to see what our students serve up next!
Our free RATs for students have now arrived and distribution will commence Thursday 12 May. Families will receive an email with more information regarding the distribution process.

Year 9 Photography students have been exploring our school site looking for unusual angles and structures for their new photography brief. We are very proud of the way they are developing their DSLR camera skills and experimenting with focus and compositional devices. We cannot wait to see how they digitally develop their images back in the Digital Media Labs.

The Year 11 Hospitality Students are preparing to run an in-house coffee shop for staff next term. Recently students put their newly developed barista skills to the test, serving up coffee and cake for the class to enjoy! Whilst students focus on presentation and plating skills our Home Economics staff are delighted to report the food is utterly delicious.
We finished out Term 1 with a special lunch time performance. Mr Remse and his band performed a range of songs to a delighted audience of students and staff. Who knew our students would know Pearl Jam, Oasis and the Red Hot Chili Peppers lyrics. Special thanks to the rest of the band, Halen Grant (guitar), Mr Sharma (drums) and Mx Dancer (bass).
