Passmores’ students enjoyed a celebratory Easter Service and farewell to Mrs Cable on their last Day of Term 1.

A lovely 2 week break over Easter was greatly enjoyed by Passmores’ students who are now once again roaming the halls with the commencement of Term 2.

This Term will consolidate what was learnt last Term, with students becoming even more capable at dealing with their work load.

Congratulations to all students, who are now one step (1 term) closer to a successful career.

Passmores Newcastle courses are nearing their Easter break and we thought it would be a good idea to publish a few digital images of some our students.

Some look happy, some look intense, but the staff at Passmores can honestly say this years intake of students have worked very hard and deserve a short break.

The Passmores’ Business College Hospitality and Tourism Hotel Management students recently enjoyed a tour of the Crowne Plaza Newcastle complex. The hospitality students were able to see how the hotel operates and spent time with the Human Resources staff.

“Being able to provide these types of tours for the hospitality and tourism students is a fantastic way for them to see the industry at work first hand” said Cristen Cable, Public Relations & Administration Manager for the Business College.

A fun and informative day was had by all.

The hospitality and marketing students are now eagerly awaiting confirmation of their Melbourne educational excursion as are our Real Estate and Legal Students looking forward to their Sydney excursion late June or early July.
