On 2 July 2013, Leipzig Trade Fair opened its doors to over 1,000 competitors, 2,000

experts, 3,000 volunteers and 200,000 visitors for the 42nd Worldskills International Competition. It is here that the world’s most skilled young people from 61 countries/regions

competed in 43 skill areas for the prestigious title of world champion.

Australia was represented by 31 young professionals from 28 skill areas.

NSI had 3 competitors in the Skillaroo team– Jessica Martin Restaurant Service, Mitch LaRosa– Web Design, Keith Buckley– IT Software Solutions.

On Wednesday the 5th of June the Diploma of Events students held a mini

event expo. The expo was set up in the cafeteria in H block, and consisted of five promotional stands which formed part of a marketing assessment for the unit Create a Promotional Display or Stand. Students worked in pairs with each group representing either an event company or service such as an Arabian theming company, candy bar company, children’s theming companies and a party venue. For each stand the groups produced marketing materials including brochures, signage, business cards and interactive elements to capture their target market’s attention. Ryde TAFE students enjoyed interacting with the promotional stands, and were intrigued by the many incentives on offer such as free samples, games and competitions.

The Grounds of Alexandria—7A/2 Huntley Street, Alexandria There are only a select few restaurants in the city that get it right: great ambience, reasonably

priced, excellent food, and great service; The Grounds of Alexandria is one such place. We’d

heard from several sources that it was almost impossible to get a table so we decided to beat

the crowd and get there really early; we were there by 8 in the morning. After all, who would

possibly be out for breakfast at 8 a.m. on a Sunday? Turns out, about 80 other people! The

Grounds boasts of a restaurant, an outdoor barbeque and café, a children’s play pen, a vegeta-

ble garden, a cart selling fresh organic fruits and lemonade, a hen house and two pet pigs

called ‘Kevin’ and ‘Bacon’. The ambience is inimitable, with pockets of beauty overlapping each

other; this place has something for everyone. We had to wait in line to be seated (again, on a

Sunday morning!). Once we got our table, the service was friendly, casual and very efficient.

Enough cannot be said about the food, we’d ordered their Breakfast Board consisting of in-

house baked sourdough bread with ham, poached eggs, fetta and pesto. We also ordered their

banana bread- which was served with ricotta, butter and house-made jam. The really impres-

sive aspect is that most of their products are made in-house with organic produce grown on,

erm, the grounds. Like most pastry chefs, I tend to analyse my desserts rather than enjoy the

first bite and like the rest of the meal their specialty doughnuts did not disappoint nor did their

banana bread! The food is priced a tad liberally, however, once you’ve had your meal you’d

think it was worth it. The coffee is highly recommended as well. Trust me when I say that I’d

definitely wait in line to have that meal again. As a matter of fact, I did! I’d recommend you visit

The Grounds at least once, if not for the food, then for their delicious rose lemonade.

Twenty years from now you will be more disap-

pointed by the things that you didn’t do than by

the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines,

sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds

in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.
