Dion Li Rosi<br />

(L: 01-05)<br />

Undecided in a career<br />

choice but with the help<br />

of the career adviser,<br />

teachers, my Mentor<br />

Teacher and family I<br />

came to realise I had<br />

a passion and love for<br />

food. <strong>The</strong>refore I chose<br />

to become a chef.<br />

During Year 10 Work<br />

Experience I completed placement at the Hilton<br />

Melbourne International Airport and this further<br />

influenced my decision to become a professional<br />

chef. Once my placement ended I was offered a job<br />

during the school holidays and did not turn down that<br />

opportunity. I particularly aimed to work with Italian<br />

cuisine due to the influence of my Italian heritage.<br />

leaving <strong>Loyola</strong> <strong>College</strong> I<br />

have travelled overseas and<br />

worked as a beauty therapist<br />

Creek.<br />

In the last 2 years I cut<br />

back my hours at the salon<br />

and work mainly for the<br />

Department of Human<br />

Services in disability residential care.<br />

<strong>The</strong> World’s Greatest Shave was an opportunity to raise<br />

funds for an excellent cause. <strong>The</strong> money raised goes<br />

As I was near completing Year 11, I received another<br />

job offer for the school holidays to work at Va Tutto,<br />

a fine dining restaurant in Ivanhoe. I jumped at the<br />

opportunity to gain experience in a new restaurant.<br />

My employer was keen to hear my plans for the future<br />

and offered me an apprenticeship which I commenced<br />

on completion of Year 11.<br />

After working as an apprentice at Va Tutto for three<br />

years I decided it was time for a change. I obtained<br />

a position as a Third Year Apprentice at Locale De<br />

Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate Winery Restaurant, also a<br />

fine dining restaurant. After two months I had finally<br />

completed my apprenticeship and have been working<br />

at Locale De Bortoli as a full time chef for 2 years.<br />

Being a chef involves long hours and working<br />

weekends. You really need to have a passion and love<br />

for food.<br />

people and families who are affected by Leukaemia.<br />

My good friends Caitlin Harvey (L: 97-02), Rhiannon<br />

Harvey (L: 98-03) and myself set about creating an<br />

event for people to come along and show their support<br />

for such a great cause.<br />

Saturday 20th March we gathered at <strong>The</strong> Peacock Inn in<br />

Northcote. Along with my mate, fellow <strong>Loyola</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

ex-student Heath Shaw (L: 98-03) we shaved off our<br />

hair in front of a huge crowd! Through great attendance,<br />

sponsoring and support, we managed to raise just<br />

shy of $10,000. We were lucky to have the support of<br />

VISY that will dollar match our total. <strong>The</strong> Leukaemia<br />

Foundation takes donations all year round. Anyone can<br />

donate online at www.worldsgreatestshave.com.au
