11/12 News
This week has been an exciting and busy time for Prospect’s 11 and 12 teachers as we’ve been at Launceston College and Newstead College’s Open Days promoting and talking about our course offerings for 2022: Hand-On Hospitality: Food, Hospitality and Tourism Enterprise and Japanese Language Programme. In partnership with the other schools that form the Northern Urban Collective, we were able to present our designed learning programmes. At Launceston College, we spoke to a group of around 25 students and shared our new Northern Urban Collective video which showcases all the schools in the collective and their respective offerings. This video, as well as our new video to promote our Hands-On Hospitality course, will be published on Prospect’s Facebook page.
On Thursday, 24th June, we had a “trade” table at Newstead College where we were able to chat with passing students about their courses choices for 2022 and share an outline of our exciting Hands-On Hospitality course. Students were invited to enter our fantastic lucky-door prize hamper which was full of scrumptious treats (a huge thank you to the amazing Adrienne McMahon for organising this!) The lucky winner was a student from Riverside High School. Congratulations Eve!! We hope you enjoy your Hands-On Hospitality basket of deliciousness.
Hands-On Hospitality is a unique and innovative course that teaches students all the ins and outs of not just working in a kitchen and front-of-house, but how to run, manage, promote, and grow a food-based café and catering business. The course is a clever blend of TASC and VET and offers students the opportunity to learn the theory to support their practical application. Complementary subjects for this Hand-On Hospitality course include Business Studies and Japanese, which will assist students who wish to follow a pathway that looks at building a business locally, nationally, and internationally. This course is offered as part of a full-time enrolment at Prospect, or as part of a shared enrolment with another school/college.
In Term 3, we will be having Information Evenings to which all parents are invited to come and chat with teachers and learn more about the courses and the opportunities available to students post-Year 10 at Senior Secondary @ Prospect. In the interim, if parents or students have any questions or want to find out more, please feel free to contact Jennifer Pollard on 6345 7405.
Last week we said goodbye to one of our lovely students – Kiara Williams, who has moved with her family to Burnie where she’ll attend classes at Hellyer College. Kiara has made outstanding progress in her time at Prospect Senior Secondary, growing in confidence and capacity in all her subjects. Kiara is a kind and conscientious student, and her gentle presence and sweet smile will be dearly missed by us all. We wish you all the best, Kiara, in your new adventures.
