***COLLEGE PARENTS & CARERS IMPORTANT REQUEST***
We kindly request parents and carers to support this event by cooking and providing bulk quantities of their traditional cultural dishes to sell at this event.
We have 920 Years 5-12 Students enrolled on campus, plus their 90-100 Teachers and Admin Staff, plus some visiting Parents and Carers.
We are obviously NOT asking parents to cook 1,000 meals (!!) but this is the total potential guest number to be fed between all the various cuisines.
So let’s say 10-12 different cuisines x 100 meals each OR 10-12 different cuisines x 2 traditional dishes x only 40-50 of each dish… something manageable like that…
Obviously the more parents and cuisines and dishes – the less cooking quantities for everybody!
And please keep your recipe ingredients grocery shopping receipts for full reimbursement by the College.
