Our 2020 McAuley Park Reserve Cabernet was recently launched with an evening that was a celebration of Music, Art, Agriculture and Horticulture and VET Hospitality students' work. It was fantastic to come together as a community with these students, their families and MLMC staff on Friday 2 September to celebrate the talents and hard work of our students.
The 2020 McAuley Park wine, made under the careful guidance of Mr Tim Thompson, has been crafted during most unprecedented times. The last two years have seen our programs come across a number of challenges due to COVID-19. Despite these challenges, our committed students continued to develop their skills and knowledge about viticulture and wine making which resulted in this superb 2020 vintage.
The 2020 McAuley Park Reserve Cabernet label was created by our Year 9 Arts students who produced a range of beautiful designs under the guidance of Mrs Melinda Pollock which were all on display during the evening. The winning label, present on all the bottles for our visitors to enjoy, was designed by Will Ault (Year 9 Bronze).
The food during the evening was prepared by our VET Hospitality students under the guidance of Mrs Kristy Brown. Our students worked tirelessly to prepare and serve a range of beautifully crafted savoury and sweet treats for all the visitors to enjoy. These extremely professional students have been developing strong skills over the last few months and it was a pleasure to experience their culinary delights.
Our MLMC Band, under the direction of Mr Gus Garces, played great music during the evening and filled Centennial Hall with beautifully uplifting sounds. The music was enjoyed by all throughout the night and the quality of the sound was a credit of the hard work, commitment and talent of the students.
It was great to come together and celebrate the variety of programs that MLMC has to offer.
