Senior Hospitality and Numeracy

The end of term event was organised by the senior hospitality students as part of their assessment for the subject. All students and staff were invited for an event that included music, a three course lunch and two healthy drinks. Senior students worked cooperatively as a team deciding the menu, music, decorations, and invitations between them. The event was a magnificent success, and the girls worked diligently to accomplish their individual jobs. The food was absolutely delicious and left us licking our fingers and begging for a second helping! All in all, the event was a great success. Senior students will keep practicing their cooking skills, and during term two they will have the opportunity to cook lunch for everybody each Monday. GA staff are looking forward to tasting the delightful meals the girls have to offer!

Hospitality also provides the opportunity for students to learn skills other than cooking delicious meals for the academy staff, as numeracy is an integral part of budgeting costs for the ingredients and for calculating the correct amounts of ingredients during preparation. Furthermore, communication, leadership, and time management skills are integral to the subject, and fundamental to the world in which we live, so the girls should be very proud of what they have accomplished!
