The Westmead International School community recently gathered to celebrate a landmark achievement: the 16th Annual Tourism and Hospitality Forum. This year’s event was not only a showcase of professional insight but a testament to the power of collaboration and hard work.

Following the success of our tribute video, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the mentors, speakers, and student leaders who made this milestone possible.

A Tribute to Mentorship and Leadership

The forum’s foundation was built on the guidance of dedicated educators. We express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Marites Manlongat. Your wealth of knowledge and professional experience has been an inspiration to the student body; we have truly enjoyed the privilege of learning from you.

Special appreciation goes to Ms. Armie and Ms. Sherly. The success of this forum is due in large part to your unwavering patience and steady guidance throughout every stage of preparation. We also thank our faculty members for their presence and continued support of our department’s initiatives.

Insights from Industry Experts

We were honored to host three distinguished guest speakers who brought the “real world” into our halls. To Mr. Dennis, Mr. Amore, and Mr. Rinell: thank you for sharing your wisdom. The experiences you shared will undoubtedly serve as a roadmap for our students as they prepare to enter their future careers.
