Katie HALL (Footscray) (09:52): I was delighted last week to attend the Footscray High chef’s dinner, which was led by Brigitta Clifford, the event leader and VET cookery teacher at Footscray. I would like to thank Josh Murphy and the team from West Footscray’s wonderful Harley and Rose restaurant, Jim Key, the Friends of Footscray High School, parents and the VET cookery students Hani Ali, Eli Andrews, Nam Bui, Sean Corsetti, Elise Doloughan Marion, Alexander Donia, Sam Hargreaves, Sophia Hibble, Moth Holliday, Kyra Javed, Alexandria Jeffrey, Jimmy Leafa, Anton Marijanovic, Ty Myers, Zack Park-Nicoll-Clark and Tahlula Whadcoat, as well as the year 9 students who did a magnificent job helping out with serving and clearing plates and decorating Footscray High’s campus, and the music students who performed on the evening. It is really a wonderful night every year where the school community gets together and celebrates the talent of our VET cookery students but also the connection to the restaurants in Footscray and Melbourne’s inner west. Congratulations, Footscray High.
