OPEN DAY-
At Endeavour College’s Open Day, visitors had the opportunity to tour our two Food Technology kitchens as prospective students engaged in a range of activities including taking home their own jar of pickled vegetables or homemade muesli.
Guests were invited to taste test a range of food on offer including our delicious homemade sausage rolls and our Endeavour branded biscuits which are always a favourite! Not only do these biscuits taste delicious, they showcase the natural collaboration between our Technology areas. Our logo was adjusted in Adobe Illustrator before before the file was transported into Fusion 360 and cut on the 3D printer.
Visitors also had the opportunity to taste test hot drinks and see our student run café up and running- a very exciting addition to our faculty! Our senior students lead cooking demonstrations and showcased the high calibre of food produced by our SACE Food and Hospitality students.
