All participated in a placement at Bradley Woods Activity Centre where they worked
alongside staff to undertake tasks in the kitchen to produce lunch for the staff and
students attending that day. The placement required the students to arrive on time, wear
suitable clothing for working in the kitchen including apron and hair net, complete a range
of culinary related tasks.They served the food to staff/students. Ensuring that lunch was
ready on time to be served.

The tasks involved working as a team, following instructions, following rules and
procedures, staying motivated on tasks, communication, dealing with frustration,
decision-making and responding to feedback.

Erin prepared chocolate brownies for the class, she worked very well as part of the team,
helping others when asked. Good communication skills were again used in a positive
way. The kitchen this week was a little better equipped so tasks were easier to complete.
Erin again used the electric whisk and her confidence is growing in using this.

Harry set up the dining room as requested then made hot and cold drinks for service.
Harry was again an important part of the team, assisting others by cleaning areas,
sweeping floors and wiping up any spills which followed Health and Safety rules.

Ryan helped to make the vegetable rice, taking care to ensure the dish could be served to
vegetarians. Ryan worked well as part of the team, helping others when asked and
putting lots of effort into his dish, he was very good at organising the clean up of the
kitchen when service complete. Ryan followed any instruction given in a positive way.

Eugene followed instructions, worked as part of the team and helped anyone when asked
to do so. Eugene helped to make the mince beef filling for the enchiladas then helped
serve the meal. A great effort.
