Back Creek Café – Meredith

Year 9 Program

Located in Meredith, a short drive from Back Creek Farm, Back Creek Café is another unique Christian College learning environment. It is open to the public 6 days a week. In their small work groups, students residing at the farm spend time at the café assisting in its operations, acquiring and developing valuable hospitality-related skills.

Learning through experience

The College believes authentic experiences present multiple learning and self development opportunities. Students, removed from their usual routines, in unfamiliar environments, work together with others to achieve shared goals.

Real-life experiences

Fresh produce

Back Creek Farm supplies the café with a range of fresh produce, which is sold separately, and used as ingredients in a range of menu items – including fresh eggs, fruit and vegetables and sunflowers.

Paddock to plate experience

Students work front and back of house at Back Creek Café, located down the highway from Back Creek Farm in Scotsburn. By preparing and serving produce, the link between agriculture and hospitality skills comes to life.

Great menu selection

With its all-day breakfast, a fabulous range of other meals, snacks, sweet treats, gluten-free options, great coffee and a variety of other beverages, it’s always a good time to drop into Back Creek Café!

Drop in and enjoy our great hospitality

Back Creek Café is open 6 days a week. Mon – Sat from 8:30am to 3:00pm. You’ll find us at 1/27 Staughton St Meredith, fronting the Midland Hwy. If you know when you’re coming, it’s always wise to book – phone the café during business hours on 5286 1166.

Year 9 Transformation Program

Our unique Year 9 program includes a half term residential experience at our ‘Back Creek Farm’ and half term on Campus in an ‘industrial space’ that operates independently of the College timetable and regular school classes.
The learning is cross-disciplinary and very much guided by the students. The Transformation Program explores each student’s personal character, their place in the world and how they can make a difference in both of these areas to contribute to human flourishing.
A Design Thinking model is used to explore three key questions: Who am I? Where am I? How will I create change?
