An Evening at the Queensland College of Wine Tourism
On 20 October, we enjoyed great food, good wine and enjoyable company at the QCWT Varias Restaurant. Our chefs were two talented 15 year old students: Michelle Gatuteo and Brianna Woods. The girls presented their signature dish which gained them First Place in the Queensland Junior Secondary School Culinary Challenge at the Brisbane Ekka. Michelle and Brianna also displayed their medals and winning trophy and spoke confidently to their guests. They are a credit to their family and their school.
Before the dinner the Yr. 12 Hospitality students under the guidance of their teacher, Melissa Pascoe, provided members and guests with information and tastings of Californian wines along with Banca Ridge wines. Everyone was impressed with the students knowledge and presentation skills.
Guests for the evening included Assistant Governor Harry and Shauna Bolton, Principal of Stanthorpe State High Peter and Pauline Grant, Peter O’Reilly, CEO of the Qld College of Wine Tourism, Heather Thorne, SSHS Work Education Coordinator and Brianna’s parents, Rosalee and John.
