Where Head Chef dreams are made!

Year 10 Hospitality – Certificate II

Hospitality – Certificate II builds on the same skills as the Food Specialisation option with an emphasis on professional food presentation and hospitality to industry standards. Hospitality explores the use of commercial grade equipment in and around the kitchen. Students will learn Hospitality in our state-of-the-art commercial kitchen. Here they will prepare and produce creative recipes from various cultures using new knowledge and skills. Students will complete six units towards a Certificate II in Hospitality.

While learning new cookery methods, students will cater for functions, follow sample recipes and serve customers in a team environment. Students will have the opportunity to interact with customers and learn about the importance of working safely and hygienically. Students will learn through interactive and engaging, new and advanced electronic resources. Practice in the workplace will be viewed first-hand through excursions and incursions.
