Congratulations to the Eudunda Area School on winning the 2023 South Australian Training Awards VET ‘Innovation for Schools’ award.
This award recognises excellence in schools that are developing innovative and new mechanisms for encouraging Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways in their schools so that their models and programs can be publicised and shared with schools across the state.
The Eudunda Area School has less that 200 students and has been building on VET initiatives over the past two decades, and their recent school-based ‘Café, EASpresso’ represents a truly innovative and succesful initiative.
Students involved with EASpresso develop lifelong skills to transer into the job market, and industry specific skills for the food and hospitality sector, while practicing enterprise and employability skills to take into the future.
As a sustainable initiative EASpresso will continue as an avenue for students to gain industry recognisable skills that lead to futher training and employment.

Many people attending the recent Eudunda Show will have had the opportunity to experience the EASpresso at the show, where students offered great coffee and delicious sweet treats.
