SCHOOL MUSICAL - YOU'RE HISTORY!

It’s that time of year again when out talented students and staff present our annual school musical. This your it is ‘You’re History’ – a nerdy teenager turns a portable classroom into a time machine and the detention class is sent hurtling back through history! The time-warped team discover vicious Vikings, pilates-practicing Pirates, disco-happy Gladiators, a rapping Romeo and Juliet and the infamous Oedipus on an episode of ‘Ellen’, with overtones of Jerry Springer. 

With parallels between hierarchical history & today’s schoolyard, here is a rollicking musical chock-full of wonderful characters, historical mayhem and sensational songs.

Ticket are on sale 1^st June available through Trybooking. You can access tickets via the link below.

YEAR 12 HOSPITALITY  

Mr Ferderer's Year 12 Hospitality class have been learning some baking skills The class produced an impressive array of breads. The doughs were made in a single period, then left to proove over night in the fridge. In the double practical lesson the class knocked back the dough, cut, weighed portions of the doughs and shaped the various doughs into different shapes and sizes. Plain basic buns, plaits & twists, scrolls and snail shapes were all successfully completed within a class and industry time frame. The class of eight made: walnut and honey bread, cheese and chilli buns (Ian Hewitson's recipe), pizza dough slabs, poppyseed and garlic naan bread.  The breads were enjoyed by the staff who made donations to this terms nominated charity. This class should feel very proud of their achievements in the course.

YEAR 11 HOSPITALITY

Year 11 Hospitality students spent last week on work placement in a variety of establishments that prepare and serve food to the general public. All students completed 35+ hours over the week, some working day and night shifts and on Saturday as well. The feedback that I received was extremely positive of all my students. Some students were offered part time / casual work and some were offered Chefs apprenticeships. The students gained invaluable experience in a variety of establishments from small cafes to large club/banqueting kitchens to IRT Food Services catering for 5000 meals a day. The students performed a wide range of tasks including-basic vegetable and fruit misc en place (preparations), crumbing of assorted foods, garlic bread production, desserts and cakes. Some were were shown FOH operations and how to use an expresso machine. The students feedback to me this week was very positive as well as being a realistic observation of this industry.
