Students have again been putting their skills into practise and, as part of the St Clare's catering team, Year 11 and 12 students set out for TasteFest on the Manning 2022, held at the Rowing Club last Friday, and conducted themselves in a very professional manner.

Once again, the students led by example and received high praise from Mr John Lenton, from Taree Lyons Club organising the festival, as well as from the customers.  The students are to be congratulated on their effort.

Those students excelled themselves on the day and the night when they prepared the venue, all food and then waited on tables for 100 guests.  Students worked from 5 pm until 10:30 pm and were very professional in the manner in which they carried out their duties.

The dinner showcased local produce provided for the evening and the students had to create a menu using oysters, chicken, scotch fillet steak and fruit for dessert.

A big thank you to Roxanne Dunn for her invaluable help prior to the event and Danya Gillard during the day and on the night.
