I cooked. I served. I washed up!

I had the privilege of studying alongside some of Hackney Community College’s entry level students. I can honestly say, it was one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done since I joined the College three years ago.

Their spirit and determination to succeed really shone through; and their happiness was infectious!

We prepared a delicious beef and vegetable chow mein, which we then served to paying members of staff.

Unfortunately, being the new boy, I got lumbered washing up the dirty pots– so I didn’t actually get to taste our creation - but I’m told it was very good!

I was really impressed with what our students achieved, with a little help from the experts!
