This week, our Year 10 employees began
their new hub rotation. We stopped by Myatt’s Corner Café to see how four of
our Year 10s were faring as they learned to prepare and serve food to the
public in a high-pressure work environment. Pictured above is Shanay, serving a
cake made entirely by Year 10 Dylan (our guest blogger this week), who arrived
at work early so that she could prepare the dessert.
'My name is Dylan and I have been on the Passport Programme
since September 28th 2015.
At Myatt’s Corner Café, I have been learning
how to use the coffee machine and work at the till. I’ve also made a Mars and
Nutella cheesecake.
I have found it challenging when customers get a bit
demanding but I overcame that by noticing that in work you have to remain
professional at all times. I could work in a place like this in the future but
it isn’t something I’ve got a passion for. I am looking forward to working in
the kitchen next week.' -Dylan
Year 10 employees also began their new Life Skills course
‘Something About Life’. This week, they learned how to wash different fabrics
and which items of clothing are safe to iron.
These skills will afford our
young learners the independence they need to thrive later in life.
