Recently, Franck and our Level 4 Hospitality students (pictured above) hosted a hospitality luncheon for their families and some leaders of Auckland's hospitality scene. The luncheon was prepared by the Level 4 Cookery students.
We were delighted to welcome Chris Martin from Ahi and Origine restaurants who returned the next day to give a presentation to the students on hospitality careers. Chef Henry and Debby Onesemo of Tala Restaurant and Clinton Farley and Fay Fialho from The Hotel Britomart and Helen Emett and Paula Hughes of Onslow and Gilt also attended.
