High school pupils from St Modan’s in Stirling once again turned the tables on their teachers recently by cooking and serving meals at Forth Valley College’s Gallery Restaurant.
The group from St Modan’s High School – guided by FVC’s Hospitality lecturing staff – hosted a Teens’ Takeover Day at the College’s Stirling Campus training restaurant and served up a delicious meal for their parents and teachers on the evening of Tuesday 14 November. Pupils from the school had previously taken part in a similar events in November 2022 and May 2023.
St Modan’s High School Teacher Margaret Ramsay, said: “Thank you to you and all Forth Valley College’s wonderful staff for helping to organise the Teens’ Takeover.
“We had another wonderful evening and all the guests who came along were thrilled with their meal and seeing the young people thrive in their new surroundings. All the pupils were still buzzing from their adventures for days afterwards.”
Karyn King, FVC’s Operations Manager in Hospitality, said: “We were delighted as always to host the Teens’ Takeover in partnership with St Modan’s High School. The pupils did a wonderful job, and it was great to see so many pupils engaging in hospitality.”
Sarah Higgins, FVC’s Vice Principal for Learning & Student Experience, said: “A massive thank you to the FVC Hospitality Department for the Teen Takeover meal at the Gallery Restaurant. My niece was taking part and has been so excited about it and has raved about her experience on the night. My mum and sister attended the meal and were blown away by the standards, even though I tell them how amazing the Gallery is all the time!
“It was lovely to see how excited all the pupils were coming into the Campus, thank you to everyone involved so much for making it special for all of them.”
