We focus on practical activities where learners obtain skills which they can use at home.

Hospitality Studies is the study of various interrelated themes in the hospitality industry such as food production, food and beverage services, hygiene and safety, cleaning and housekeeping, client service as well as communication skills. The subject will equip the learners with skills to prepare a range of different recipes and meal, serve food, set tables for different meals, as well as how to perform these tasks at home.

Arts & Crafts
The Art and Crafts learning programme explores knowledge and understanding of a variety of materials, techniques and work processes, from developing ideas and solving problems, to the production of creative works of art. Art and Crafts awaken the creative powers in each learner.
