🙌 To our phenomenal Level 5 and Level 6 students: Thank you for your hard work, your endless energy, your resilience, and for keeping us laughing every single day (even during the flaming brownie incidents!). You have grown into outstanding professionals, and we are so proud of you.

👨‍🍳 To our dedicated staff & lecturers: Thank you for the countless hours poured into mentoring, guiding, and inspiring the next generation of hospitality talent.

🤝 To our industry partners & loyal customers: Thank you for supporting our training restaurant, attending our events, and giving our students the real-world platform they need to thrive. We couldn't do this without our amazing community!

To those moving on to exciting new chapters in the industry or higher study—we wish you the absolute best of luck. You are going to do amazing things! 🚀

And to everyone returning—have a safe, restful, and absolutely brilliant summer holiday. You have more than earned it! 🍹⛱️

🏆
The pinnacle of excellence. 🏆👑

To wrap up our unforgettable ceremony, we presented our highest Academy honours to three students who define what it truly means to be outstanding.

☕ Barista of the Year: Leigh Ann Ewing (Leigh Ann was not able to make it to our awards and was presented with this on her last day at college)
Mastering the perfect pour, excellent service, and absolute precision behind the machine. Tami was incredibly proud to introduce this one!

🤍 The Mike Crossland Award: Aidan Storey
Presented in memory of a deeply loyal and supportive customer who we sadly lost over lockdown. This award goes to a student at the end of their journey who has faced and overcome challenges every step of the way, working tirelessly to ensure they achieved. Aidan, your resilience is incredible.

🌟 Student of the Year: Finlay Watson
The ultimate model student. Positive attitude? Always. Timekeeping & deadlines? Spot on. Huge growth, deeply enjoying every aspect of the course, and doing it all with a massive smile on his face. A truly worthy winner!

Congratulations to our top tier champions. You have left a permanent mark on the Academy! 🥂🎉

Because if you can’t laugh in the kitchen, you’re doing it wrong! 😜🍳

While we take our hospitality training seriously, our Silly Awards (lovingly presented by Tami) celebrate the legendary mishaps and quirks that kept us smiling all year long!

Drop a ❤️ to congratulate our hall-of-fame legends:
👟 Odd Shoes Award: Nicole Tomlinson – for rocking mismatched shoes to a Front of House shift!
🤰 The Placenta Award: Aidan Storey – for trying to clarify if a tapas dish was made with placenta (polenta, Aidan... polenta!).
🔥 The Flaming Brownie: Nicole Tomlinson – a microwave session that quite literally went up in flames!
🧐 Where Are My Ribs?: Nicole Tomlinson – searching high and low for lamb cutlets she’d already put in the oven!
🐟 Squeamish Fish Award: Melissa Ross – white-knuckling her way through prep with her head out the window (but she finished it!).
📧 The Inbox Spammer: Rowan Doel – firing off 9 emails to 5 lecturers in record time!
🧦 The White Socks Violation: Harris Thomson – don't worry, we've gifted him some black ones for next year!
✈️ Accidental Holidays: Lexie Banford – walking in to announce she'd "accidentally" booked a week off over the weekend.
🧹 Clean Freak: Dylan Carter – who tears cupboards apart to deep clean when things get quiet!
💬 The Word of the Year: Olivia Mayo – for dropping "BIFURCATED" into a theory paper and then wondering who wrote it.
🙋‍♀️ Most Questions Asked: Shannon Adams & The Hello Award: Kenzie Johnston!

Thanks for the laughs, team! You made this year unforgettable. 😂🙌

While we are celebrating the start of the summer holidays, today is also a bittersweet day for us at the Academy as we say a massive thank you and a fond farewell to the wonderful Kateryna! 💐✨

Kateryna has been with us covering maternity leave, and today marks her very last day with the team.

Stepping into a busy training environment is no small task, but Kateryna hit the ground running. From guiding our learners through their practical assessments to helping hand out awards last week, she has been an absolute pillar of support, kindness, and professionalism.

Kateryna, thank you for your hard work, your dedication to our Level 5 and 6 students, and for being such a fantastic colleague to work alongside. You have been an incredible asset to the Hospitality and Tourism Academy family, and you will be missed immensely by staff and students alike! 🧑‍🍳❤️

Please join us in wishing Kateryna the absolute best of luck in her next chapter! ⭐🥂

The people have spoken! 🗣️❤️

There is no higher praise than being voted for by your own peers. The Student Choice Award recognizes the 'model students' who consistently supported everyone else in the class through thick and thin this year.

The voting was so incredibly close for Level 5 that even after a second vote, we ended up with a legendary 6-way split! Talk about a supportive class!

Congratulations to our community champions, presented by Kateryna Yakovenko:
🏆 Level 5 Hospitality Operations: Eve Munro, Kenzie Johnston, Jake Milne, Lexie Banford, Melissa Ross, & Rowan Doel
🏆 Level 6 Hospitality: Leigh Ann Ewing

Thank you for bringing the teamwork, kindness, and camaraderie that makes our Academy feel like a family. 🤝❤️

First impressions? Mixed. Current impressions? Absolutely blown away! 🤯💫

Tami Wilson presented the Exceeding Expectations Award, which celebrates the students who might have found those first few weeks in the department really difficult, lacked a bit of confidence, or found it tough to mix with the group. Fast forward to today, and they have completely turned the tables!

Huge congratulations to:
🌟 Level 5 Hospitality: Melissa Ross (now a stellar support to her peers and fully engaged in everything we do)
🌟 Level 5 Hospitality: Rowan Doel (who is now absolutely flourishing out in the industry)
🌟 Level 6 Hospitality: Nicole Tomlinson

Proof that it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you grow. You are all absolute superstars! 🙌✨
