The Eddie and Zac cut
Food. Who doesn't love food? Northcote College and many schools across the globe offer amazing learning opportunities under the hospitality industry, but it is seen as 'a bummy subject' due to the reduced knowledge required in the field. In this documentary, experienced Northcote College hospitality students express their views against the major backlash and testimonials about their experience in the new and improved K-block kitchens. Students at Northcote College clearly love the hospitality classes. Although it isn’t as academically demanding as other subjects, it's open to everyone and can still lead you to a successful career. These classes bring friends together to collaborate on making a fancy dish, something other classes fail to do, and that's what makes it so successful and unique. This documentary will make you rethink hospitality as a 'drop-out' subject into an accepting and empowering subject.
