Careers Advisers Luncheon 2026

Over two days we welcomed high school career advisers and hospitality tutors to a luncheon prepared by both NZ Certificate in Cookery level 4 and New Zealand Diploma in Cookery Level 5 with service by the Hospitality and Tourism students.

From L:R, Joy Connolly (Macleans College), Kay Wallace & Daisha Salanoa (Western Springs College), Maggie Hames (Auckland Girls' Grammar) Lu Matthews-Ward (Macleans College).

These lunches provide an opportunity for us to share the quality of what we are cooking in these programmes which is more than equivalent to the best Auckland restaurants. 

From L:R, Celeste McMillan (Manurewa High School), Lois Bruce (Carmel College) Linda Scott & Umani Ganegama (Ormiston Senior College), Joy williams (Manurewa High School).

The workplacement that form an important part of both the Level 4 and Level 5 programmes build on the skills learnt in our kitchens.
