Our Year 11 VCE-VM students recently embarked on an enriching hospitality immersion program, visiting three renowned venues in the Bellarine region: The Range @ Curlewis, Leura Park Estate, and Flying Brick Cider House.

At each location, students gained firsthand experience in various aspects of the hospitality industry. They engaged in tasks ranging from customer service to behind-the-scenes operations, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the field.

A highlight of the program was a presentation by Lynsey Sharp, owner of The Range @ Curlewis. Lynsey shared her personal journey in the hospitality industry, offering valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of running a successful business.

Throughout the experience, students demonstrated exceptional listening skills, enthusiasm, and a keen interest in learning. Their proactive approach and thoughtful questions reflected their genuine curiosity about the industry and its diverse career pathways.

This immersion program provided students with a unique opportunity to explore potential career avenues in hospitality, equipping them with practical knowledge and inspiration for their future endeavours.

We extend our gratitude to Lynsey Sharp and the teams at The Range @ Curlewis, Leura Park Estate, and Flying Brick Cider House for their warm hospitality and invaluable contributions to our students’ learning experiences.
