Tables turned on JC students

By Felicia Low

SOME 200 students from Victoria Junior College had the tables turned on them as they had to serve good service instead of being served.

The students were put through a two day theory and practical training programme teaching them basic food and beverage (F&B) service.

One of the 200 students, 18-year old Saripalli Kundan Reddy shares how this experience has changed his outlook on basic F&B service.

‘As a customer, I used to come and criticise and say this is not right,’ he said. ‘But now I know this is the amount of hard work that gone into it.’

This training course was done in preparation for the students’ debut on the 25th of July at the Victoria Junior College 25th Anniversary Homecoming Dinner, where six students will get a chance to serve the President and other VIPs.

But how will the 200 students be narrowed down to six?

According to Mr Darren Eng, a member of the panel of judges, it all boils down to their attitude.
