** Year 12 VET Hospitality Students Parent's Dinner**
On Wednesday 26 of August 2026 we held our first Year 12 Hospitality Dinner with Stephen Mercer, of Mercer's Restaurant, in Eltham creating a menu for the event. It's the last service of 2026 for the unit 3,4 VET students.
It was a sold out event with parents of the students working attending. Pat and his students did a remarkable job creating 4 dishes as part of Stephen's degustation menu while Duncan's front of house students served 4 courses matched to our own Swipers Gully wines.
Both front and back of house students were fantastic and extremely professional. It is a credit to the program offered at ELTHAM that they are so capable.
We cannot offer these evenings without the support of families. Thank you.
We are already looking forward to the next one.
