PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE PROGRAM
The ICMS professional performance program equips students with the self-discipline they will need when they start their careers; whether it be in the way they dress or the way they communicate. - Frank Prestipino, Managing Director
The Professional Performance Course
The Professional Performance Course is integral to our aims of educating students who are 'work ready' from day one. The Professional Performance Course is a compulsory hands on term 1 subject that focuses on developing the professional attributes of each individual, ensuring that all students are taught the skills necessary to succeed in their chosen careers. The Professional Performance Course has been developed for students, by students and is an interactive and relevant subject that starts students off on their professional and career development path.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q: Can I still wear my College tie and cravat?
A: Yes, feel free to continue wearing them.
Q: I am in a service role, are the dress rules different?
A: Yes, there is a separate uniform for those serving in the Grand Dining Room, kitchens, functions and the CYC/Market Place. Current guidelines have not changed.
