The opening of our student-run Golden Swan Café is highly anticipated each year, by students and staff alike.
Each Tuesday and Thursday until Term 4, our Food Technology/Hospitality students hone their skills whipping up a range of speciality coffees and hot chocolates. This past Tuesday, the first flat whites were proudly crafted by our budding young baristas and by Thursday, the cafe was humming.
Each year 15-24 students are able to complete a Barista Course in the school holidays and then run the café – organising everything from making hot beverages, providing customer service and taking payments including using the EFTPOS machine. It’s brilliant work experience for any student wanting a part-time job in a café.
Staff and Year 13 students can purchase a range of coffees and our Yerar 9-12 students can buy themselves a frothy hot chocolate. The café is open from 7.50am and prices are just $3.50 per beverage (50c extra for speciality milks) – but you can save 50c if you bring your own keep cup.
