Kilcoy State High School annual Gala Dinner
The school courtyard and kitchen were abuzz with activity on August 22, with the Kilcoy High School senior Hospitality class hosting the Annual Gala Dinner.
Students were dressed in industry standard for the formal dining event, providing service to 50 staff, parents and community members in the beautifully decorated outdoor restaurant setting. The evening showcased the developed skills and talent of the hospitality students in a range of fine dining dishes.
To begin, guests were served an entrée of spring canape, stuffed mushrooms, salmon mousse topped cucumber slices or satay chicken skewers.For the main course the students served chicken cordon bleu with crispy potato stacks and seasonal vegetables served with a creamy garlic sauce, slow cooked roast beef with mashed sweet potato and seasonal vegetables, served with a beef jus. Dessert was panna cotta with a berry coulis and chocolate brownie with caramel sauce.
Congratulations to the senior hospitality students for creating such a memorable experience at Kilcoy SHS. Your hard work and dedication shone through on the night. A special thank you to teachers Ms Kate Strong and Ms Jenny Plath for facilitating the success of such a beautiful evening and teacher aides Mrs Jo Ludgate and Mrs Kellie McMillian who worked tirelessly supporting students behind the scenes. Thank you also to our school staff for their support of the Gala and those staff who attended on the evening.
The gala dinner has been the signature event for our hospitality program over the past decade, with this year’s dinner being the last. Next year will bring fresh excitement with a new curriculum and event for students and families to look forward to.
