Students gain hands on experience and industry knowledge and are well placed to go into entry level work or further training in the wide range of hospitality and service occupations. Students participate in various catering and food preparation events using the recently upgraded commercial grade facilities. They gain a wide range of credits from Service IQ including Barista qualifications. Students choose three option lines for Academy which means they can choose three other subjects and be part of Academy for both Years 12 and 13 while still studying in other areas.
