Why do we study Hospitality & Catering? 

Cooking is a fundamental life skill which we believe every student at Barnhill should be equipped with. With the hospitality industry continually evolving and growing, students who study  the course will inevitably have a better springboard towards the huge industry it has become. The course will also highlight to students the many different avenues within Hospitality and Catering, from fine dining, cafes, bars, fast food to events management (corporate events, sporting events etc.)
