Butchery students, 1970s.
Students in a Butchery class at Newcastle Campus in the 1970’s. Classes were held in L Block which was demolished in 2013. The official opening of the Hamilton College of TAFE in 1986 saw Butchery classes being the first to commence in the new Block A. From 2007 – 2014 Hamilton Campus ran a retail outlet that allowed apprentice butchers to prepare and sell meat to the public, now students are assessed in the workplace.
As part of the celebrations for the National Year of Reading 2012, a unique cake decorating competition was run at Hamilton Campus. Entrants had to select a book and create a cake to represent it. It was a first-time entry for all students in a decorating competition.
The Competition was judged last week with the following winners:
1st Place Kim Ritchie – Bourke Street Bakery
2nd Place Brenda Latimer – Cat in the Hat

Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone involved with organising the competition.
