Le Cordon Bleu Brisbane Institute opened its doors to a vibrant new cohort in Queensland, welcoming 43 students from 12 countries into its world-class culinary arts and hospitality management programmes.

Welcomed by Le Cordon Bleu CEO Derrick Casey on arrival, O-Week unveiled a whirlwind of fun activities including a masterclass by world-acclaimed Pastry Chef Bastien Girard, an industry address by Alliance Française Director Luc Didon, and a visit to Sea World Resort with a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility with Resort Manager, Sanjay Bhatia.
