Hats off to Carrick Higher Education Graduates!

Graduation ceremonies for Carrick Higher Education graduates in Melbourne and Sydney in December.

Twenty one graduates attended the ceremonies across Melbourne and Sydney and four students graduated in absentia, all students had completed a Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) in October 2009, preparing them for careers in the hospitality and tourism industries.
 
Students wore formal gowns and the formal ceremony signified the students’ rite of passage as talked about in the Chairman of the Academic Advisory Board, Steven Murby’s speech to the graduates.

The ceremonies were followed by refreshments with friends and family, some of whom had flown from Mauritius, China, Indonesia and Japan to attend the special event.

We would like to congratulate all of the Carrick Higher Education graduates on their excellent achievement and look forward to hearing about their future endeavours.

If you are a Carrick Higher Education Graduate we would love to hear from you, email us at alumni@carrickeducation.edu.au

Sydney Hairdressing students put on a show stopping extravaganza!

Carrick Sydney Certificate IV students held a hair show themed ‘A day at the races.’

It was a fantastic night where our students showed off their skills in creative colour and up styling techniques.

The students had spent the last two months working extremely hard planning the event from beginning to end.

Many industry people, agents and careers advisors were invited and a great night was had by all.

Prizes were generously donated by Delorenzo, Indola and INSTYLE Magazine.

The Sydney Hairdressing Department would also like thank the Hospitality and Food and Beverage students and teachers who came on board, prepared and served the food and drink to our guests they were extremely professional and the night would not have been possible without them.

If you would like to see photos from the hair show, keep up to date with the industry or any further information visit: www.styleicons.com.au

If you are in Melbourne, Sydney or Adelaide remember to drop by for a cheap haircut, supervised by industry professionals you can get a cut, colour, blow wave or treatment for a fraction of the cost!

Alejandro Saravia Brings a Taste of Peru to Carrick

Carrick Sydney in conjunction with Carrick Commercial Cookery graduate Alejandro Saravia hosted a night of Peruvian flavours on Wednesday, 23 September 2009, in Sydney.  Saravia, originally from Peru, introduced media and Carrick partners to Peruvian Andean cuisine with the help of Carrick teachers and current students.

The event held at the Carrick Sydney's commercial kitchens, involved a cooking demonstration by Saravia and gave invited guests the opportunity to taste Peruvian dishes and experience first hand how the training at Carrick develops local and overseas talent.  Alejandro is passionate about bringing Peruvian flavours to Australia and gives credit to the training he received at Carrick to bring him closer to his goal.

Saravia said "I much appreciate Carrick's support, to continue helping me in this "A taste of Peruvian Andean flavours" and for being part of the introduction of a new style of cuisine in Sydney's food business."

The event at Carrick was a prelude to Saravia's "A taste of Peruvian Andean" flavours which is a five course modern Peruvian Andean Cuisine dinner matched with Australian wines which Carrick was proudly sponsoring.
