Bali Culinary Pastry School Graduation event this year was organized differently with a theme for a cause. Together with Polytechnic International Bali (PIB), a number of current students organized a charity event, raising funds for “Education for a Cause” campaign. The Charity Event is enlivened with an auction, raffle drawing and food bazaar and bake sale, the proceeds of these funds will be donated to the Foundation for Humanitarian Institutions. This idea emerged as a real form of concern for Bali Culinary Pastry School to respond and participate in the issue of social inequality in the community.
During the graduation event, Bali Culinary Pastry School also extended appreciation to our partner industry who have been taking care our students during internship, several Hotels and Restaurants such as The Apurva Kempinski Bali, Bvlgari Resort Bali, Blanco par Mandif, Taman Bhagawan Bali, PT SMART Tbk, PT Sriboga Flour Mill, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Nusa Dua Bali, Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa, The Royal Beach Seminyak Bali – MGallery Collection, Folie Kitchen & Patisserie, Cuca Restaurant Bali and so on. They all play a very important role in making the learning experience for our students complete.
This year, the school has awarded the Best Student Award to Felicia Agnes Lavender who completed her internship program at the Banyan Tree Ungasan Bali. The Best Student Award was extended based on her achievements: past exam and final grades, internship grade, self-discipline, team work, her attitude as well as skill developments and commitment.
