We are requesting a voluntary payment of $100 to go towards running a high quality course with a good range of ingredients to enhance the practical experience for students in the Hospitality programme. We believe that students really value the learning enhancements that this payment provides.
It is highly recommended all students have a takeaway container for their products they make.
