A curry and quiz fundraiser evening at Broadoak Academy has been staged by the academy’s hospitality and catering students to raised money for a very worthy charity.
This is the second year the academy has run the charity night. Staged in Broadoak’s main hall, the event raised a grand total of £138.50 for the Weston-super-Mare Foodbank.
Danny McGilloway, Principal of Broadoak Academy, was the eloquent quizmaster for the evening. Danny’s favourite round asked ‘are you smarter than a Broadoak student?’ and featured questions set by students from Years 7-11.
Naomi Aves, Broadoak’s Head of Creative, said: “This event was the perfect opportunity for our students to experience a taste of working in the catering industry, from preparing food, serving guests and clearing up after. They did a brilliant job.
“Our guests were particularly impressed by the handmade naan breads which served as the perfect accompaniment to the delicious chicken curry and sweet potato curry. The whole evening was a great success.”
Broadoak’s maths teachers – aptly named ‘The Mathia’ – emerged victorious and claimed the prize of a bottle of wine and a gift voucher, both gifted by Indian restaurant Panache.
