At the beginning of Term 2 we started our third Return to the Workforce teacher aide programme and have just employed 20 parents as Teacher Aides. We are really grateful to the Work and Income staff and the awesome Principals who have been so supportive of this initiative. The schools involved are Hillpark, Leabank, Manurewa East, Manurewa South, Randwick Park, Roscommon, Rowandale and Takanini. The opportunities offered by this project can change lives - this morning one of the new teacher aides came to see me. She was bubbling over with excitement, eyes sparkling and said "I'm loving being a teacher aide. I'm much happier and what I learn in the classroom I take home and do with my 5 year old'.

Term Three's interschool competition was the return of the cooking contest, although it was taken to a whole new level. The teams from Manurewa South, Weymouth Primary and Randwick Park not only had to design a menu and cook a meal that was healthy, on budget and yummy for a family of 5 but they were encouraged to use some of the new skills they had been shown over the term to decorate their dining table. The scores were extremely close for all the teams and the food was delicious.

Congratulations to Weymouth who get the Positive Futures Trophy this term with their olympic theme and their amazing homemade bread.

It was an awesome privilege to serve our men of the hub and school staff a special morning tea for an early Father's Day for the contribution they make to the children's lives.

Thanks for all you do, we appreciate it.

Happy Father's Day!

 

 

To help us prepare for the upcoming cooking competition, which includes a table setting, we learnt how to use plants locally grown to decorate our family meal table. We will never see the local plants the same again. So many ways of using containers and cheap additions to make a fabulous arrangement.

 

Cupcakes that looked so tricky were actually easy.

Great for birthdays or a holiday activity.
