Panaji, September 2026: Kamaxi College of Culinary Arts (KCCA) hosted the third edition of its Annual Principal’s Lunch, bringing together principals, vice principals and senior educators from schools across Goa for an afternoon of culinary experiences, hospitality and conversations on career opportunities in the culinary industry.
The annual initiative gives school leaders a closer understanding of culinary education and the diverse professional pathways available to students, spanning culinary production, hospitality, entrepreneurship and other specialised areas.
Subhasis Mandal, Principal of the Verna-based Kamaxi College of Culinary Arts, said, “Culinary arts is often perceived simply as cooking, but it is a profession that demands precision, discipline, creativity and a strong understanding of both the craft and the business behind it. Through initiatives such as our Annual Principals’ Lunch, we want educators to experience the standards of the industry first-hand and, in turn, help students understand that culinary education can lead to diverse and rewarding career opportunities.”
The event brought together educators from several schools across Goa, including St. Xavier’s Higher Secondary School, St. Alex Higher Secondary School, St. Thomas Higher Secondary School, Carmel Higher Secondary School, Fr. Basilio Andrade Memorial Higher Secondary School, Santa Cruz Higher Secondary School of Arts and Commerce and Damodar English Higher Secondary School, among others.
KCCA’s culinary students, guided by faculty chefs, prepared and served the menu, giving visiting educators an opportunity to experience their skills and training first-hand.
