At the end of Cookery Semester One, we hold a family luncheon so that students can invite two people from their family to share and taste their progress in the kitchen.

It is always a great day and so special to welcome so many people into our dining room to share our hospitality.

Visiting Sabato, the Level 5 Diploma students were privileged to have an introduction to Olive Oils and Artisan Vinegars with Sabato founder Jacqui Dixon.

What a thrill to be invited to attend the 40th anniversary of Akaroa Salmon at Onuku Marae, now a shareholder. Duncan Bates and his father Tom, established the Marine farm in 1986, manoeuvred through the regulatory consents required for marine farming and it has now grown to be a major force in aquaculture and the export of Akaroa king salmon around the world. This was my second visit in to Onoku this year.

High School Spring Luncheon

Over two days we welcomed high school career advisers and food-tech teachers to a luncheon prepared by both NZ Certificate in Cookery level 4 and New Zealand Diploma in Cookery Level 5 with service by the Hospitality and Tourism students.

These lunches provide an opportunity for us to share the quality of what we are cooking in these programmes which is more than equivalent to the best Auckland restaurants.

The workplacement that form an important part of both the Level 4 and Level 5 programmes build on the skills learnt in our kitchens.

Many thanks to the schools that attended.
