A STUDENT cafe and breakfast club are the newest additions to the work experience program at Wallsend Campus of Callaghan College.

The cafe provides students with practical work skills in a social learning environment.

All students who are interested in hospitality get opportunities to develop work skills.

Students get an opportunity to experience all aspects of operating a cafe, from planning the menu to buying food from markets, taking orders and preparing, cooking and serving food and drinks.

"Meals are cheap," one student, Joshua Cooper, said.

"Only $7 for a vegetarian meal," Cody Gould said.

"A meat meal and a soft drink are the same price," Jeremy Cooper said.

"Coffee and cake is only $5," added Shannon Woods.

Cafe CC operates each Thursday.

Students who work at the cafe are rewarded with a meal, cake and hot chocolate.

The breakfast club provides students with a light meal and hot chocolate from 8am to 9am.

Both programs are made possible by help from Pura and Bakers Delight, teachers and the community.
