“What a lovely treat!” commented the residents
of Eeufees Retirement Village as they experienced the benefits
of skills education firsthand. Ten residents were invited
to be guests at the first ever external practical catering
exam taken by Sparrow Combined’s Grade 12 catering learners.
The 12 learners functioned together and operated as they would
in a professional restaurant. The cooking and preparation
started at 08:00 am and the guests arrived at 12:30. The Head
Chef of the day – 18 year old Gugu Nkabinde said: “it
was hectic but everyone did their share to make it a success.”
The lunch menu consisted of a prawn cocktail starter followed
by roast stuffed shoulder of lamb with a mint sauce, roast
potatoes, carrots and minted peas. Apple tart with fresh cream
finished off the meal. Much to the Head Waiter, 19 year old,
Tumelo Huma’s delight the guests commented that the
service was excellent. Tumelo aims to study Hotel Management
at a Technical College next year. “It was a great success,
I am so proud of our learners!” says Chris Perumal their
Tutor – “Most of our learners have to mount many
challenges to get to school”.
