Building versatility, confidence and real kitchen experience 👩‍🍳🔥

Toni is currently completing her industry placement at Flagstaff Hill Golf Club, a hospitality venue in Flagstaff Hill offering restaurant and alfresco dining alongside function and event catering.

Toni secured this placement herself, and QCA has continued to support her progress through workplace visits and industry follow-up. During our recent visit, the feedback from her workplace was excellent — Toni was described as punctual, reliable, professional and a strong communicator who has integrated very well into the team.

She is performing above the expected standard for her stage of training and is already trusted to work across the larder, fryer and grill sections, building valuable experience in preparation, timing, organisation and service under pressure.

This kind of placement gives students exposure to different styles and volumes of hospitality service while developing the practical confidence employers value.

Yesterday, this talented group took on the challenge of designing, preparing and delivering a menu for more than 48 guests at our biggest Chef’s Table event to date — and they absolutely smashed it!

Events like these provide our students with an invaluable opportunity to put their skills into practice in a real-world hospitality environment. From menu planning and preparation through to teamwork, time management and service, the day was a fantastic showcase of the knowledge, confidence and professionalism they have developed throughout their studies.

We are incredibly proud of the commitment and enthusiasm our students brought to the experience and of everything they achieved on the day.

A special thank you also goes to our dedicated team, industry partners and agents who joined us and continue to support our international students throughout their learning journey. Your ongoing involvement helps create meaningful opportunities for our students to develop their skills, build industry connections and prepare for their future careers.

Practical training like this ensures our students graduate with the confidence and skills employers value across Australia's hospitality industry.

☕ Welcome to QCA's very own Bean There Café! 💙

Our talented Diploma of Hospitality Management students from Classes 54 and 55 have brought this exciting initiative to life as part of their studies. Under the guidance of trainer Connie, the students have planned every aspect of the café—from budgeting and concept development to operations and customer service.

More than just great coffee and delicious treats, Bean There Café is making a difference. The café is proudly accepting donations for ShareTheMeal, helping provide emergency relief, essential supplies and support to individuals and families affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.

We're incredibly proud of our students for combining their hospitality skills with a passion for giving back to the community. And judging by the smiles around campus, our staff are more than happy to support such a meaningful cause while enjoying a coffee and a sweet treat!
