Hospitality and Swipers Gully

Swipers Gully Training Restaurant is owned by ELTHAM College and operates as part of the ELTHAM College VCE VET program.  This outstanding facility was established in 2002 to create opportunities for ELTHAM students to gain nationally accredited training qualifications in hospitality. 

The ELTHAM College VCE VET Hospitality program is drawn from a national training package and offers portable qualifications, which are recognised throughout Australia. We have received the VCE VET Student of the Year State Premiere’s Award 12 times since we began offering the program.

This allows years 10, 11 and 12 students to attain qualifications with the knowledge and skills to prepare them for a diverse range of occupations in the hospitality industry, including commercial cookery, catering, and food and beverage service. 

Students work at Swipers Gully Training Restaurant, ELTHAM College’s restaurant and industrial kitchen as part of their course.  Students benefit from acquiring real world workplace skills and experience. At ELTHAM, we strive to ensure that all our young people are world-ready. A crucial element to this is equipping them with the life skills they need to graduate.

Students in Years 8 and 9 operate the College Coffee Shop within the restaurant, with particular focus on Year 9 students exploring employment and work experience opportunities. This helps to make a connection between learning and the workplace. 

Swipers Gully Training Centre is a fully licensed student run venue, open to the public during school terms. Our vineyard of six grape varieties was planted in 1992 and covers two of the College’s 48 hectares. It yielded its first vintage in 2003. Swipers wines are permitted to be serve by students during restaurant service as part of the students workplace training. 

The name Swipers Gully was chosen by members of the ELTHAM College community because of our location at the head of the waterway known locally as Swipers Gully. Local legend suggests that Swipers Gully was also an early name for the district of Research during the gold rushes, although the exact origin seems to have been lost with time.

In December 2013 the centre was renamed ‘The Warner Hospitality Centre’, after former Principal Dr David Warner, to acknowledge his vision in setting up this facility and his contribution to ELTHAM College.

We look forward to seeing you and showing our wonderful students in action, while you enjoy a quick coffee, brunch or a tasty three course meal in the evening. Sit back, relax and enjoy the stunning views, excellent service and delicious food.
