Dining Finesse (Grades 3 - 11) 05th September 2018We live in a world where people are compared and judged all the time andwe are always looking to give the right impression. So when we knowproper dining etiquette, you can really focus on much more importantthings such as conversation. Dining skills say a lot about a person and notknowing it can be more damaging than you would think, especially forpeople in high positions. If you haven't learnt to eat correctly, what else didyou miss learning on the way to growing into the position you are in?Table manners are more than using the correct cutlery and napkinprotocol. There are more about subtle behaviors of a person. We at Bodhiteach our students the finer skills to stand strong in the outside world. Allstudents from grades 1-11 are confident and able in the art of diningfinesse.
