Hands-on learning has a pretty sweet side here at North Metropolitan TAFE!

Are you grabbing the middle scroll or going for a crispy edge? 👇

Things are getting a bit spooky this week at The Pavilion! 🎃👻

There’s a little extra magic on the menu, with Witch’s Brew and the alcohol-free Witch’s Stew bringing a splash of Halloween colour to the table. 🧙‍♀️✨

A little theatre, plenty of creativity, and a chance to put hospitality skills into practice—because a memorable dining experience goes beyond the plate! 🍽️🕸️

Entrées up! 🥗🔥

Jo and Eden keeping the chicken salads moving at The Pavilion—slicing, dressing and putting those final touches on each plate. 👩‍🍳🙌

There’s more to the entrée section than a good-looking salad. Timing, teamwork and consistency all come into play when you’re getting dishes ready for service.

Hands-on learning in the kitchens at North Metropolitan TAFE. Nice work, Jo and Eden! 👏

WEEK 10 — DONE! 👨‍🍳🔥

Ten weeks of learning, prepping, cooking, plating, service and plenty of dishes along the way!

What starts in the training kitchen comes together in The Pavilion, where our cookery and hospitality students get the chance to put their skills into practice in a real restaurant environment.

From the prep bench to the pass, every service is another opportunity to build confidence, improve skills and learn what working in hospitality is really about.

A great way to finish Week 10. 👏
