Chloe is a very pleasant student in the class, always helpful and willing to work. Chloe has been volunteering in the college restaurant as an addition to her catering option. This has been a great help to the restaurant staff during a busy service, and Chloe is making the most of the opportunity to develop her skills in all aspects of service.
Chloe has also worked really hard to pass her Level 2 Functional Skills English, and was winner of the Student of the Term in the first term. Chloe is hoping to be accepted onto the Level 1 catering course.
