Hospitality students in the central west will benefit from $2.9 million State Government funding to upgrade their current facilities.
Longreach State High School’s hospitality trade training centre is a hospitality training program which provides students across the region the skills they needed for a career post-school.
The program includes the well-known mobile commercial training kitchen, the Big Red Truck, which is 10 years old and in need of some upgrades.
Education Minister Grace Grace, who visited the school on Tuesday, said the money would help fund the truck’s registration and maintenance into the future and upgrade the school’s kitchen facilities.
