Michael Dennis-Smith Alpine School Campus - Chef

Hello from the kitchen...

Just a bit of background about me, I’ve been a chef now for over 42 years and have worked in many different environments from 5 Star hatted restaurants, International Resorts and Hotel, ships sailing the pacific to mining camps in the desert, both here and globally. Obviously for this amount of time I must love my job and as a result I now get the opportunity to share and teach the emerging adults at The Alpine School Dinner Plain.

The best part of my job is meeting new students every term, introducing them to new experiences, flavour and food and for some their first time in trying some of my many varied dishes.

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are four campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. The Alpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place". Our fourth and newest campus, Don Valley Campus is located at Don Valley in the Yarra Ranges.
