Monty’s Cafe
Monty’s Café is run by the Later Years students. The students make and deliver cookies, coffee/hot chocolate/tea and occaisional lunch orders for staff and students. The Later Years students are developing their Real-life Engaging Applied Learning (REAL) skills while working in the Café. The students are leading every part of the process from organising the coffee orders and money, getting the ingredients together, following the cookie recipe, making the coffee and delivering to staff and students. The students are very enthusiastic and are always willing to be part of Monty’s Café. We are looking forward to the expansion of Monty’s Café as the school grows.
