Last Friday, Port Lincoln High School was privileged to receive a visit from the Department for Education’s Chief Executive, Mr Rick Persse, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr Chris Bernardi.
After spending the majority of the day meeting with local Principals in our Clontarf Academy, Rick and Chris were invited to visit our Commercial Kitchen. There they were met by several invited guests and Food & Hospitality teacher Mrs Monique Rogalski with three Year 10 students – Lilly Jenkins, Chloe Poel and Jake Puddy – for some delicious afternoon tea and an informative presentation about our highly successful F&H program.
We thank Rick and Chris for their valuable time and trust that they enjoyed their day at PLHS.
