Commercial Kitchen upgrade at Hampton Park Secondary College
Anthony Byrne, Federal Member for Holt, opened the refurbished commercial kitchen at Hampton Park Secondary College funded from the Rudd Government’s National School Pride Program.
“The commercial kitchen refurbishment includes 10 commercial stoves, canopies and stainless steel benches, all electrical, plumbing work and flooring,” said Anthony Byrne, Federal Member for Holt.
“With the upgrade of the kitchen to commercial standards, students can obtain a Certificate 2 in Hospitality preparing them for future pathways into TAFE, apprenticeships and the hospitality and tourism industry,” said Anthony Byrne.
The hospitality course at Hampton Park Secondary College is a very popular curriculum choice for students. 100 students per day use the commercial kitchen, acommodating 20,000 student hours over the school year. The upgrade of the commercial kitchen was a top priority for the College.
Hampton Park Secondary College received $200,000 through the National School Pride Program for the commercial kitchen upgrade, car park ashphalting, landscaping around the college and painting of 35 classrooms.
The National School Pride program is delivering on the first phase of the Australian Government’s Building the Education Revolution.
Under this program, every Australian school receives up to $200,000, based on the size of the school, for maintenance and minor building works.
